PROJECT

Formerly known as Children's Express, Headliners is a UK-wide news agency producing news, features and comment by young people for everyone.

Through a unique learning through journalism programme, young people aged 8 to 19 research and write stories on issues that are important to them for publication in national and local newspapers, magazines, television and radio.

The aim of this blog, created by Maëlle Guéroult and Connor Scullion, is to let every young person from Northern Ireland express their ideas and opinions, whatever their background.

The views contained in this blog are those of the individual writer and are not necessarily endorsed by Headliners, the host school or any other partner organisation.

Leaks in the system




By Orlanda Brennan (15, Headliners)






My opinion on water charges is that it is a rip off and a waste of time as the government just wants money and there getting it from all our bills and rates and our parents. We pay too much already and I agree with the public protests and community meetings to abolish the charges before they come into effect. A few adults I know say they will not pay the water charges whether it comes into effect or not. I have to say that I wouldn’t pay the charges even if I were of right age. It’s a waste of time and money. We have enough bills and rates to pay today in this modern age.
