Good evening, this is BBC Newsline with Donna Traynor. The headlines

this Friday evening: child abuse, and the Catholic Church, we have

details of the major reports out next week.

The American city at the centre of a row at Stormont.

Grieving families wonder why no investigations into the RUC

killings. We will be speaking to Minister

Edwin Poots as we await the review of the Health Service.

We hear from Cliftonville's teenage sensation who is setting the Irish

League alight with his goals. And it has been windy today, but it

is going to get even windier. A Met Office warning is in force. I will

have more shortly. BBC Newsline can reveal that two

Catholic dioceses in Northern Ireland are preparing to publish

major reports into child safeguarding. -- the Catholic

diocese is. -- 3. The Diocese of Raphoe, in Donegal, is to publish a

much anticipated report next week. But we have learned that separate

reviews will also be published into child welfare in the dioceses of

Derry and Dromore. All three reports have been conducted by the

National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church.

A proposed trip to California by an Assembly committee is being seen by

some as a junket - many callers to the BBC voiced their anger over it

today. But the committee's chairman, Basil McCrea, says the offer to the

11 members is an opportunity to see and learn how it has achieved

economic success. Our correspondent Kevin Magee reports.

Located on the west coast of America, San Diego's Universities

are famous for their research. It is that expertise that the chairman

of its committees says he wants fellow-members to see first hand.

In September, the idea of the trip abroad was first discussed. We have

a -- we have to get a budget for the trip overseas. There is a

suggestion which I think would be a good thing, to look at some of that

committee going to Brussels. There is a budget that has to be put in,

but we will be to have a discussion about where we want to go, we will

decide that as a committee. Speaking from Paris today, Mr McRae

said the timing of it checked to San Diego was nothing to do with

the amount of money left in the Assembly's travel budget.

Absolutely not. It is one of a number of potential visits under

consideration. I do want to reiterate that unless we can bring

forward a robust is this case that stands public scrutiny, it will not

be happening. But Sinn Fein says the trip Bob Bird could easily be

described as a junket. This particular visit to the United

States, I believe, his late on programme, it is ill-conceived and

there is not any business plan or rationale. But one of Northern

Ireland's leader on -- entrepreneurs supports the idea.

think that more of our politicians we can get over to the United

States to see what is going on there, the better. They are

ambassadors to the country, but they are also getting educated.

location has been agreed by the committee. To go or not to go is a

decision that will come under a lot of scrutiny.

Our Facebook page has been getting reaction to the trip, and there is

not a lot of support for it so far. You can join the debate on Facebook.

Our Twitter account is updated with the news throughout the day and

there is our e-mail address if you want to contact us through that.

We can reveal that the Catholic diocese these will next week

publish a major reports into child abuse and to reports will be from

Northern Ireland. Kevin Sharkey joins ask. Tell us about the

reports and the body that is producing them.

The national safeguarding Board was set up some years ago, essentially

after all the scandals that have engulfed the Catholic Church, and

its aim was quite simple, to make sure that children receive in the

Catholic Church. At the moment, it is reviewing diocese he's up and

down the country. We have no -- we have known for some time it is

carrying out a review. The diocese of Raphoe is where one of that

country's most the tourist beat of a priest abused young children.

Because of the focused on Raphoe,. Two of the diocese is in Northern

Ireland, in Derry and Dromore, they will also report next week.

Essentially, what will happen, the board has been tracking back to

1975, and will look at what was done in the past in terms of child

protection issues, the stakes that for me, and look at what lessons

can be learned. The recently retired Bishop of

Derry is expected to be in the Spotlight next week.

Very much so. He officially retired just a few days ago, he was the

Bishop in Raphoe in the 1980s and early 1990s. That is when Eugene

Green was abusing boys. Questions are expected to be asked, how was

he managed during that period. An update of our exclusive report

on killings by the RUC and the legal limbo which means they cannot

be reinvestigated by the police ombudsman's office and less there

is new evidence. Nearly 50 cases are involved, but it was said today

that more than 20 families had been contacted. One of those was the

family of Sammy McLarnon, who was shot by policemen with and 40 years

ago. -- more than. It was quite severe all over

Belfast that night. Some McLernon cannot remember

August 1969, he was on the two years old. But events that night

when the RUC came to her street have played a big part in his life.

For 40 years, no memories of his father, just a memorial to visit.

My father had said, there will be trouble here to me. Glas came into

the House. I put the blame down. That is when the shooting came in,

my mother heard the crack. For 38 years, the family tried to gather

evidence from local people but never had any official information

about the shooting. The said my family was murdered, but once you

mentioned that it is the RUC,, it is like, what did he do? Four years

ago, the ombudsman was handed almost 50 cases of such killings.

The McLaren and family to cope. When a letter said no investigation

into their case had started. Then yesterday, a phone call to explain

the legal difficulties. Getting a letter in September saying there

was no investigation, and I am getting too old now that there

never will be one. The Police Ombudsman's Office says more than

20 families have been contacted, roughly half of the total, to make

points to discuss those cases which may never see an investigation.

After four years of discussions, some in the client cannot decide if

it is worth listening any more. Our entire public transport network

will come to a standstill on Wednesday as public sector workers

go on strike. Trains and buses, including some school services,

will be affected. Translink says it is sorry for any inconvenience to

customers, but that it is beyond its control. Many of the drivers

are from the union Unite. The stoppage will be complete. We

would normally have a bus service from early in the morning until

midnight on Wednesday. There will be no bus service, completely that

day. There will be no trains service that day. The whole of the

transport industry will shut down for that day. This is not something

we take lightly. It is something that the whole of the people of

Northern Ireland are coming out to support. It is very regrettable

when people cannot get to their schools, but it is something that

we in Northern Ireland feel very strongly about. This is robbery of

our pensions and we are not going to take it lightly.

Tyrone GAA officials have handed down like the suspensions to the

Carrickmore and Dromore clubs following a brawl during the County

League final twelves days ago. people from each club involved in

fighting in the stand have been banned for a year. Suspensions were

also handed out to three Carrickmore players, while both

clubs have been banned from the league play-offs next season.

they want to achieve is to move on, take responsibility for individuals

on and off the field and if they do cross the line, we have to ensure

they are dealt with with severely under the rules of the game.

A local technology company is investing �80 million to create 166

jobs. Andor Technology makes digital cameras which are used for

scientific research. The cameras made here in West

Belfast are some of the most sensitive in the world. They are

used for scientific research into conditions such as Parkinson's,

cancer and Alzheimer's. The company already employs 230 people in

Northern Ireland. We expect these jobs to help with the next phase of

her development. So we are expanding her sales channels,

expanding her product range, and we think the future opportunities for

our products. It is important to us to say that we have the technology,

we have the people to deal with the issues that and or Andor Technology

has and they are working closely with the university. Invest NI have

offered financial support. We have been focusing on the Health

Service this week and the big changes that a new review could

bring. That review will that be delivered to the Minister a week

later than expected, he will now receive it on December 7th. It will

make interesting pre-Christmas reading for Edwin Poots, who joins

us now. All this week, we have been concentrating on different parts of

what we expect to be in that review. One issue that has really rattled a

lot of people is the review is likely to recommend the GPs'

surgeries provide some of the specialist treatment that we now

get in hospitals. They believe that the waiting lists in the hospitals

will now be transferred to longer waiting times at GP surgeries.

is a very negative view. But it is a legitimate one. It is something

we want to do something about, and certainly, we believe considerably

greater services could be delivered in the primary care sector. Number

one, that is closer to people's homes. Secondly, it can be done

will keep people from actually going into hospital. I do not know

anyone who does not need to be in hospital we deserves to be in

hospital. Those are all very positive things. Oblivion volte-

face is an investment in the primary care sector. -- what will

be involved for us. Instead of an elderly person who has a chest

infection sitting in accident and emergency, they can go to their

local GP, be diagnosed, a physiotherapist is also at that

side, and it is a better outcome all round. You mentioned elderly

people. One other thing we have been looking at this week is

services and care for elderly people. But Justin residential and

nursing homes, but also in their own homes. When can you see more

investment in that care at home? Because a lot of families are very

much under financial pressure, under terrible stress, doing a job

that is unpaid, but they do it but of love and duty. Let us be honest,

we in the Health Service could not deliver the level of care that has

actually been carried out by families. It is something that is

absolutely essential and most families will actually do it at

some stage. So we really appreciate the care that people give. A when

we put more investment into it, we are currently looking at carrying

out in the next couple of days, connected Health were we have

services put people homes, where we can have more of -- that are

monitoring. We will ensure they receive appropriate care in their

own homes. We do not want a situation where people are left

isolated in their own homes. They can actually get out and enjoy

friendship with others. Minister, sorry to interrupt, but changes

going to cost money. It is also going to take time. A lot of what

is going to happen is going to prove very unpopular. Also among

We will wait and see if it is unpopular. I don't anticipate that

everything in the report will be well received Burtenshaw many

aspects of it will. We have a Health Service waiting list that is

continuing to grow and as a consequence, the whole concept of

the National Health the source is undermined. -- the National Health

ethos. This isn't about saving money, it is about creating better

outputs with the money that we have. We await with interest the review

into the Health Service. Still to come on the programme:

Over 150 new technology jobs for West Belfast.

And two of Ulster's most successful Gaelic football teams get set to do

battle in the provincial decider. Gavin's here with the sport in the

moment. First, a look ahead now next week's BBC Newsline. We'll

have a weather series on preparing for winter. This time last year, we

had just entered a record breaking cold spell. Next week, Barra Best

reports on how agencies are gearing up for another cold snap and what

you can do to get yourself and your home ready. Plus, we have exclusive

access to the salt mine in County Antrim where the salt for our roads

and pavements comes from. That series starts on Monday at 6.30pm

here on BBC Newsline. Sports players and fans will be

hoping the weather is kind to them this weekend. There was a bitter

wind today. For two of big golfing stars, it's warm and sunny in the

Far East where they're looking to win golf's World Cup. Gavin Andrews

is here. They starred together in the Ryder

Cup last year, but this week Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell,

playing as Team Ireland at Mission Hills in China are alongside

Australia at the top of the leaderboard. A second round of 68

in today's foursomes lifted them to 13 under par and into a share of

the lead in the competition going into the weekend. The pair are

looking to go one better than the last World Cup, two years ago, when

they finished second, and seem to be enjoying their time together. We

struggled to find a rhythm and... City it in his former it is a

really good school. Football now and Cliftonville's

teenage striking sensation Rory Donnelly will be looking to add to

his impressive tally of 14 goals this season when his side take on

Glentoran tomorrow. We caught up with him training this week. At

just 19, he is the talk of local football. Some have suggested a

move to England is on the cards but he seems to be finding it hard to

see what all the fuss is about. is just hot work. I work really

hard in training. He has already built a strong partnership with a

striker who has seen it all at this level. He brings it all to the game.

He's won the last one's heart. He's the first here and the last away.

He did so it's all the plaudits he is getting. He has played very well

and the few does continue to do so, he is on his way. The youngster has

no shortage of confidence. When we are on, I can beat anybody. We keep

pushing on, trying to get 20 at the 20. Next in his sights is then

touring on Saturday. Rugby now and Ulster are away to

Glasgow in the Pro 12 shortly. It's a game you can see live on BBC Two

from 7.30pm. Both coach and captain recognise it'll be a tough test

tonight. Number had there's got to layers, the Scottish contingent the

back in,... It means a big difference. We have seen the last

two or three years, been up to throw the ball round, a happy

really mobile pack that can work in the tackle and it's really

expensive. We are expecting a quick game. It is quite a small field. We

know there will be a lot of running and we're all up for that.

'$$NEWLINE Sunday sees Crossmaglen Rangers and Burren, Ulster's two

most successful sides over the past 25 years, battle for the Ulster

Senior Club Championship. Crossmaglen are the current All-

Ireland and Ulster champions. The last time Burren achieved that,

their current star Kevin McKernan was just a baby, while his Daddy

was helping the Down champions to All-Ireland glory. Thomas Niblock

to see why it. It was Alton to London looking in. We played him a

everyone wants to get Sue and up it's no different. We had a chance

to give them a good game on Sunday. Lastly, we had a lot of regrets and

have three this year, we will leave with a happier performance. And a's

aristocracy. The PSNI had an historic first

outing at Croke Park this afternoon. But because of technical

difficulties come week and not sure you it. We have a forecast of the

weather. I hope there is no snow on This was the scene today and it

will remain the scene over the weekend for a while, wet, windy and
