Northern Ireland's Environment Minister has commended the environmental work carried out by pupils from a primary school in Armagh.

Students from St. Patrick's Primary School are working on recycling and waste reduction and how they can save more energy in school and at home.

Minister Mark H Durkan said: "I commend the pupils of St Patrick's school for the sterling work they do in helping to protect and promote the environment, not just in their own school but in the wider community.

"Everyone of us has a role in helping to protecting our environment. Whether we recycle more, re-use what we have more, cut down on using up energy, it all adds up to a much rosier greener future. It is heart-warming to see so many young people buying into that."
