A legal challenge is launched against Stormont for an alleged failure to carry out emissions tests.
A Stormont department is being taken to court over allegations it has failed to fully test the emissions of diesel cars in Northern Ireland.
The groups are claiming that the Department for Infrastructure is still not carrying out the legally required exhaust emissions test on any diesel cars in Northern Ireland. PILS director Maria McCloskey said "17 straight years of a failure to comply with the law is completely unacceptable."
