Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Donna Traynor and Noel

:00:15.:00:22.

Thompson. Good evening. Our main news:

:00:22.:00:25.

Alex Attwood gives the go ahead to the �100 million Runkerry golf

:00:25.:00:27.

development near the Giant's Causeway, the developer promises

:00:27.:00:32.

hundreds of new jobs. The National Trust and Friends of the Earth say

:00:32.:00:41.

they have big concerns about the potential environmental impact.

:00:41.:00:44.

What other country would allow its national treasures to be desecrated

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:00:55.

in that way? Also on the programme this Tuesday

:00:55.:00:58.

evening. Organ donation. The Assembly wants to consider a scheme

:00:58.:01:00.

that includes everyone unless you opt out.

:01:00.:01:02.

Not so easy rider. Big changes for learner bikers.

:01:02.:01:05.

We'll meet the Premier League footballer who's celebrating his

:01:05.:01:07.

international call-up at home. And the temperatures are set to go

:01:07.:01:10.

even higher on Wednesday, but you will want to keep the umbrella

:01:10.:01:20.
:01:20.:01:22.

handy. Find out why later in the programme.

:01:22.:01:26.

You join me in the Bushmills Hotel where the green light has been

:01:26.:01:31.

given to a �100 million hotel and golf complex on the north coast in

:01:31.:01:37.

the face of strong environmental objections. This complex will sit

:01:37.:01:42.

about one mile from the Causeway, Northern Ireland's only World

:01:42.:01:46.

Heritage Site. Alex Attwood said he thought long and hard about it but

:01:46.:01:51.

he came down in favour of it. He said it would make Northern Ireland

:01:51.:02:01.
:02:01.:02:03.

a forefront holiday destination and give a boost to the local of --

:02:03.:02:06.

economy. This is one of Alex Attwood's

:02:06.:02:13.

biggest decisions of his career. He faced strong opposition. The coast

:02:13.:02:18.

needs to be developed. The golfing product that we have needs to be

:02:18.:02:22.

developed. This decision allows that to happen. It allows it to

:02:22.:02:27.

happen in a way that is absolutely sympathetic to all the heritage and

:02:27.:02:30.

environmental standards that we have to uphold because it is part

:02:30.:02:37.

of the quality and character of our tourist economy going forward.

:02:37.:02:42.

five-star hotel, golf academy and 75 villas as well as a golf course

:02:42.:02:45.

and a conference centre have all been given the green light. This

:02:45.:02:50.

will be the first purpose-built golf course in almost 100 years. I

:02:50.:02:55.

will be standing around the 10th tee. The entire course will cover

:02:56.:03:02.

365 acres. The proposed development aims to attract high end, high

:03:02.:03:06.

spending golf tourists from around the globe. The give tourists the

:03:06.:03:10.

opportunity to come and spend time on the north coast and play on our

:03:10.:03:15.

new links course and the other links course is in the area and to

:03:15.:03:19.

visit the distillery and the other attractions in the area. We are

:03:19.:03:23.

very excited about the possibility of providing something of world-

:03:23.:03:28.

class standing. At a near by course there was excitement at the thought

:03:28.:03:33.

of a golfer's village being built next door. With accommodation the

:03:33.:03:37.

hearers will it will entice people to stay. Apart from the employment

:03:37.:03:40.

it will bring, it is additional revenue into the area which

:03:40.:03:45.

everyone will welcome. It will be an added attraction to the north

:03:45.:03:50.

coast. The local MP it welcomed the decision. This shows the turn of

:03:50.:03:54.

the page. We are seeing a dip -- we are seeing a vision and believing

:03:54.:03:59.

in it and starting to deliver. It is very important. Developers begin

:03:59.:04:09.
:04:09.:04:16.

work soon. Well the man leading the project is

:04:16.:04:18.

the US-based management consultant Dr Alistair Hanna, who's originally

:04:18.:04:21.

from east Belfast. He wasn't at today's event in Bushmills, but

:04:21.:04:24.

Kevin Magee met him a couple of days ago in Belfast, and asked him

:04:24.:04:27.

why he thought the business would succeed. We would like to think it

:04:27.:04:29.

is a world-class facility that can compete with the likes of Celtic

:04:30.:04:34.

Manor, Turnberry and up in the same sort of character as Gleneagles.

:04:34.:04:38.

Are you sure there is a market for this? There is absolutely Haymarket

:04:38.:04:43.

for the best. In today's world the best is still selling very well.

:04:43.:04:48.

The mediocre is not doing well at all. You have got to position this

:04:48.:04:54.

as being one of the best in the world. We believe that with

:04:54.:04:58.

Bushmills Dunes Golf Resort and Spa, Port Rush, Port Stewart and Castle

:04:58.:05:05.

Rock, we will have four world-class links golf courses within half-an-

:05:05.:05:10.

hour of each other. There is nowhere else in the world where you

:05:10.:05:17.

can offer that except perhaps St Andrews. Another one is currently

:05:17.:05:21.

in administration. It is not a links course. It is a long way away

:05:21.:05:25.

from it does suffer competitively in that sense. How much will the

:05:25.:05:31.

project cost? If we pray sit in today's costs it will be somewhere

:05:31.:05:36.

around �100 million to build the whole thing. It is a lot of money.

:05:36.:05:41.

Do you have the Resources to go ahead? I have an investment banker

:05:41.:05:47.

standing by ready to go as soon as I give him the word. We will raise

:05:47.:05:53.

the money. He tells me because of the uniqueness of this piece of

:05:53.:05:57.

land and because of the property that we will have, the money will

:05:57.:06:02.

be forthcoming. The National Trust are opposed to this scheme. Will it

:06:02.:06:07.

affect the integrity of the Giant's Causeway? We have been very

:06:07.:06:11.

sensitive to the positioning of the buildings and a height of the

:06:11.:06:15.

buildings and the buildings will have grass roofs. We have done a

:06:15.:06:18.

lot of stuff to make this very environmentally sensitive. We

:06:18.:06:25.

actually believe this project will help the area as a World Heritage

:06:25.:06:30.

Site because what is a world heritage site for? It is to attract

:06:30.:06:33.

visitors. We will have a facility that will make it much more

:06:33.:06:41.

pleasant and enjoyable for visitors to come. Too many visitors come to

:06:41.:06:45.

this area come for one day and leave and we want to give the

:06:45.:06:51.

visitors a reason to stay and spend money. Not everyone is happy. One

:06:51.:06:56.

environmentalists said it was like building a Burger Bar at the Taj

:06:56.:06:59.

Mahal. Environment Minister says he has worked hard to smooth that all

:06:59.:07:04.

the problems that cannot to co- exist beside each other? And

:07:04.:07:07.

Environment Correspondent has been looking at the implications.

:07:07.:07:11.

It is not just the Giants Causeway the planners have to consider, the

:07:11.:07:15.

development is alongside an area of special scientific interest,

:07:15.:07:22.

Runkerry beach. These sand dunes behind me are where they will build

:07:22.:07:28.

the golf course. Digging will take place between March and August --

:07:28.:07:34.

no digging would take place to protect the birds. Badgers also

:07:34.:07:38.

have to be protected. There are also rivers and critical habitats

:07:38.:07:43.

including rare wild far -- flat was which may have to be moved in some

:07:43.:07:48.

cases. Even that is not enough to convince everybody it is a good

:07:48.:07:54.

idea. I am completely flabbergasted by the decision. We have a national

:07:54.:07:57.

treasure. The Giant's Causeway belongs to us all. It is the only

:07:57.:08:02.

World Heritage Site. It is a site of international which is protected

:08:02.:08:07.

and the buffer zones around the dark protected by many different

:08:07.:08:10.

planning policies and yet we have a decision by the Minister today

:08:10.:08:16.

which is quite unfathomable. He has improved what -- he has approved a

:08:16.:08:21.

huge holiday resort within breathing distance of the Giant's

:08:21.:08:25.

Causeway. Most concern is about the visual effect it will have on the

:08:25.:08:27.

Giant's Causeway. The National Trust cellaret they are

:08:27.:08:31.

disappointed by the decision. But they have not given any interviews.

:08:31.:08:41.
:08:41.:09:02.

A lot of people we have spoken to seem genuinely shocked by today's

:09:02.:09:05.

decision. They thought that given all the planning protection this

:09:05.:09:12.

site had that nothing would be built here.

:09:12.:09:17.

I am joined by it someone from a resident group who is opposed to

:09:17.:09:21.

this development. Surely it is possible to work is so that both

:09:21.:09:26.

sides can be happy? One would think so. Unfortunately there are

:09:26.:09:30.

planning policies here which seemed to have been brushed aside to

:09:30.:09:38.

achieve this. That is our concern. There is a policy which states that

:09:38.:09:43.

there can only be modest scale development without a landscape

:09:43.:09:48.

detriment in this area. If I were householder in that area, I would

:09:48.:09:54.

be limited to only 20% extension, 20% of the cubic capacity of my

:09:54.:09:58.

house and yet here is the developer coming and there seems to be able

:09:58.:10:04.

to get away with 75 houses and a hotel and everything else. But this

:10:04.:10:08.

does include two lovely parkland golf courses and golf courses can

:10:08.:10:15.

be quite nice. Surely it is more than one mile from beam Causeway,

:10:15.:10:19.

surely that two can consist -- co- exist peacefully. It is still

:10:20.:10:23.

within the landscape setting of the causeway which is very heavily

:10:23.:10:29.

protected by environmental protection. It is an area of

:10:29.:10:31.

outstanding beauty and a distinctive landscape setting as

:10:31.:10:41.
:10:41.:10:42.

defined by the World Heritage Site. Also it is in areas that give it

:10:42.:10:44.

additional protection and people around have find it quite

:10:45.:10:48.

horrifying because they did not think it was possible that a

:10:48.:10:52.

development of this scale could take place. It is not so much the

:10:52.:10:56.

golf course, but what we are concerned about is the amount of

:10:56.:11:01.

building concerned. Not everyone is horrified. They could be 300 jobs

:11:01.:11:05.

and as complex as well as the jobs involved in building up. Those jobs

:11:05.:11:09.

are badly needed. I quite agree that jobs are badly needed in this

:11:09.:11:13.

area and I understand that. I understand that there are strong

:11:13.:11:18.

economic arguments for this. Our view is that if you drive a coach

:11:18.:11:21.

and horses through the environmental protection, it does

:11:21.:11:25.

not stop there. It sets a precedent for the future and more damage

:11:25.:11:29.

could be done. This post has suffered a lot of damage from the

:11:30.:11:34.

wrong kind of development in the last few years. We feel it is

:11:34.:11:38.

essential that environmental protection should remain in place.

:11:38.:11:43.

This development could bring jobs but it is hypothetical. Thank you

:11:43.:11:53.
:11:53.:11:55.

very much. Just before I leave you here in

:11:55.:11:58.

Bushmills, Ian Paisley Junior who we heard from earlier, also spoke

:11:58.:12:01.

today about how his father, the former first minister, is making

:12:01.:12:03.

steady progress after a serious health scare. And he thanked all

:12:03.:12:06.

those who'd sent messages of support to his family. That is

:12:06.:12:09.

making a good recovery but he has been a sick man. He is making a

:12:09.:12:12.

good and steady recovery and I am very hopeful for him. I would like

:12:12.:12:15.

to thank all the staff at the hospital to have been fantastic. I

:12:15.:12:19.

have sat with other patients there and other families of patients and

:12:19.:12:23.

they would also recognise that the hospital staff have been wonderful.

:12:23.:12:27.

It is a real leveller in recognising what is important in

:12:28.:12:32.

life. He has rallied in recent days? He is a remarkable man and he

:12:32.:12:39.

will surprise you will still. The latest on the health of Ian

:12:39.:12:43.

Paisley senior. We have heard debate for and against this project

:12:44.:12:48.

but the complex is going ahead as things stand and I understand it

:12:48.:12:51.

will be reported to Unesco and the next 24 hours and they will decide

:12:52.:12:56.

whether it will have any bad effect on the World Heritage site but for

:12:56.:13:01.

the moment it is back to Belfast. This is BBC Newsline and still to

:13:01.:13:04.

come on the programme: The alien invader threatening some

:13:04.:13:06.

of our furrier inhabitants. The latest drama from a Belfast

:13:06.:13:16.
:13:16.:13:20.

playwright with a history of Organ donation. The Assembly has

:13:20.:13:23.

called on the Health Minister to consult on a scheme where everyone

:13:23.:13:29.

is included unless they opt out. 17 people died last year while on the

:13:29.:13:33.

waiting list for a transplant here, and an MLA told Stormont that it

:13:33.:13:37.

had not been for a kidney transplant, she would have lost a

:13:37.:13:44.

teenage son. William Johnston is one of nearly 300 people here

:13:44.:13:47.

waiting for a light changing transplant operation. He has to

:13:47.:13:51.

receive dialysis treatment for his kidneys, three times a week. Given

:13:51.:13:55.

the shortage of organs across the UK, Williams supports any change

:13:55.:14:02.

which might cut the waiting list. few organ donation as a new life

:14:02.:14:06.

and people that decide to donate organs are giving the gift of new

:14:06.:14:11.

life to people like myself who have been waiting for many years.

:14:11.:14:15.

Currently, around half a million people here are on the organ

:14:15.:14:20.

donation register, carrying a card like this. There is a discussion

:14:20.:14:23.

about a move to a system under which every adult would be presumed

:14:23.:14:27.

to have given their consent to have their organs used after the death,

:14:27.:14:33.

unless they had first registered their objection. The Ulster

:14:33.:14:35.

Unionist's and Dobson son was diagnosed with kidney failure when

:14:36.:14:39.

he was just 13. She made an emotional speech, thanking the

:14:39.:14:44.

donor who gave her son a kidney. do not know who the donor of the

:14:44.:14:49.

kidney was, and probably never will, but even so we thank his family

:14:49.:14:54.

every day, for giving mark the gift of life. The Welsh government is

:14:54.:14:59.

considering giving a change to the opt-out system, but not all our

:14:59.:15:03.

politicians are convinced. cannot be stated strongly enough,

:15:03.:15:09.

that presumed consent isn't actual consent. I think that is important.

:15:09.:15:12.

The Health Minister called for a public debate on how the organ

:15:12.:15:16.

donation system might be improved, but Edwin Poots stop short of any

:15:16.:15:23.

definite announcement of a formal review.

:15:23.:15:29.

From today, anyone learning to ride a moped, scooter or motorbike,

:15:29.:15:33.

cannot start without taking some compulsory basic training. If you

:15:33.:15:37.

do not do it, you could be riding illegally. The changes have been

:15:37.:15:41.

phased in over the last 12 months, but as we now report, time has run

:15:41.:15:48.

out. They are stylish and a nippy, but from today, there is more to

:15:48.:15:53.

learning to ride want. At this training centre, one rider is

:15:53.:15:57.

working on his lessons, from now learners like him are not allowed

:15:57.:16:01.

to practise on the roads, without the paperwork to show they are safe

:16:01.:16:05.

to do so. In the past, I could have walked off the street, bought a

:16:05.:16:10.

scooter, and driven away illegally. Now, I cannot do so without

:16:10.:16:15.

compulsory basic training. The deal we brought it in for New Riders one

:16:15.:16:18.

year ago, but now it applies even to those who have been learning for

:16:18.:16:23.

a while it. Bowling a full driving licence for a car, does not let you

:16:23.:16:27.

off. This is the latest machine. It is unique in that it has three

:16:27.:16:31.

wheels. Some salesmen say their customers are confused about the

:16:31.:16:36.

changes, but to see the benefits. think it is very important,

:16:36.:16:39.

particularly amongst young teenagers. They tend to want to

:16:39.:16:43.

come into a place like this, usually with their mother, not

:16:43.:16:48.

their father, and want a bike and want to drive it straight out of

:16:48.:16:52.

the shop. It is an excellent idea to have tests, particularly for

:16:52.:16:56.

those people. Instructors are worried that many riders have not

:16:56.:17:00.

realised the requirement applies to them. Everyone with a learner

:17:01.:17:06.

categoric on their licence, 16- year-old oz by two-60-year-old, so

:17:06.:17:10.

if you are riding a moped, scooter, small capacity motorcycle and you

:17:10.:17:14.

have and they will on your driving licence, you have to have CBT,

:17:14.:17:18.

otherwise you will be driving illegally and you will face

:17:18.:17:21.

prosecution and more than likely, you're at insurance will be void.

It takes around 10 are straining and �200 a more depending on the

you would like us to investigate. Belfast playwright who is no

:17:43.:17:47.

stranger to controversy when he has written about loyalism, has created

:17:47.:17:53.

his first drama in Irish, even though he does not speak it. As our

Arts correspondent reports, Gary Mitchell says he is expecting

the script. It is perfect. It is a new departure for a company based

:19:16.:19:21.

in West Belfast and performing only in Irish. It is a surprising choice

:19:21.:19:25.

for our company and I think that is how it will be perceived. We are

:19:25.:19:31.

interested in looking... At piece of programming that reflects the

unique cultural heritage of this very unique part of the world.

playwright isn't the only one having problems with the language.

:19:38.:19:43.

This actor speaks Scots Gaelic and does not understand Irish. I have

had to learn Irish phonetically. I sit with my a fellow actors to

conversant Irish and I am able to follow bits of the language, and I

know when they're talking about me! The first performance is on the
