Chief Minister Allan Bell had been due to attend the summit

The British Irish Council Summit in Dublin has been postponed.

Chief Minister Allan Bell and Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson had been due to attend the meeting today.

However, the event has been put off following the death of the Irish Taoiseach's mother.

The council is made up of nations from the British Isles, including the Isle of Man, and meets twice a year.

Mr Bell extends his condolences to Enda Kenny.

The summit will be rescheduled for a later date.
