Two primary school girls from Enniskillen have given evidence to a Stormont committee about their successful campaign to wear trousers as part of their uniform.

Astrid Knox and Rhea Donnell, who are both 11-years-old, want to see a change to legislation under the School Uniforms Bill, which is making its way through the Assembly.

The girls are being supported by the Children's Commissioner.

Astrid said: "We want to see the uniform policy in every school changed so that girls have the option to wear trousers and not just skirts."

Rhea said: "I just want them to take away from it that we are going to keep supporting other girls if they do try to do this.

"I want them to take away from this that they could change it so I think that they should."
