end of the week? No. Had Russia heading our way and wet and windy

:00:00.:00:00.

Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline: Three of the families of

:00:00.:00:22.

patients who died at the Royal's emergency department have not been

:00:23.:00:25.

told the exact circumstances of their deaths.

:00:26.:00:29.

Another construction firm is caught up in a campaign of sabotage against

:00:30.:00:34.

the former Quinn Group. Changes to controversial school

:00:35.:00:37.

funding cuts but there's concern they're just a short-term measure.

:00:38.:00:47.

Find out how a piper from Armagh found himself working with the Boss.

:00:48.:00:53.

A coastal road battered in recent storms partially collapses in County

:00:54.:00:56.

Down. And there's more stormy weather to

:00:57.:00:59.

come across parts of Northern Ireland tonight - I'll have the full

:01:00.:01:09.

forecast later. Three families have yet to be given

:01:10.:01:12.

the full details of the circumstances surrounding the death

:01:13.:01:14.

of their relatives after treatment at the Royal Victoria Hospital's

:01:15.:01:20.

Emergency Department. Last night's BBC Spotlight programme highlighted

:01:21.:01:25.

the cases of five patients. They died in circumstances where delays

:01:26.:01:30.

may have been a contributory factor. This afternoon, Edwin Poots told the

:01:31.:01:33.

health committee at the Assembly that the coroner is now involved in

:01:34.:01:37.

four of the cases and he said this is not a crisis. A doctor who worked

:01:38.:01:44.

in the Royal's Emergency Department has told BBC Newsline he more often

:01:45.:01:47.

managed chaos and not patients. Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise

:01:48.:01:54.

Connolly reports. Too few medics dealing with too few

:01:55.:02:00.

patients and what emerges is an environment struggling to cope. Last

:02:01.:02:05.

night's Spotlight programme revealed pressures in the Royal's emergency

:02:06.:02:08.

department led to delays which may have in a contributory factor in the

:02:09.:02:12.

deaths of five patients. It also revealed that doctors on the front

:02:13.:02:15.

line e-mailed and met with senior managers warning them of robin over

:02:16.:02:20.

one year ago. For the first time, one of those doctors has broken his

:02:21.:02:27.

silence to explain why. On many night shifts or weekend shifts that

:02:28.:02:31.

I worked there, I did not give a standard of care that I thought was

:02:32.:02:36.

appropriate to patients because our sole focus was on just managing the

:02:37.:02:43.

chaos. Over the past 18 months, questions about the safety of

:02:44.:02:45.

emergency departments from doctors, politicians, the public and the

:02:46.:02:51.

media have often been dismissed as hype. Only two weeks ago, the Health

:02:52.:02:55.

Minister gave this assurance. Northern Ireland's is a safe place

:02:56.:02:59.

to get emergency medicine. It is a safe place to have medical care.

:03:00.:03:06.

What is the true picture? While deaths in hospitals must be

:03:07.:03:10.

expected, what these latest fad cases highlight is whether the

:03:11.:03:13.

Biedermann is as safe as it should be. -- whether the environment is as

:03:14.:03:18.

safe as it should be. Doctor Millar did the figure could be higher. The

:03:19.:03:24.

cases must only represent the tip of the iceberg. These are cases that

:03:25.:03:29.

have been flagged up under serious procedure. There are a lot of people

:03:30.:03:34.

who have come into the hospital and have died or have come to harm read

:03:35.:03:41.

this procedure has not been flagged up. -- way this procedure has not

:03:42.:03:46.

been flagged up. Dealings were running high at the health committee

:03:47.:03:51.

where, under pressure, the Health Minister reiterated there is no

:03:52.:03:56.

crisis. The treatment and care of that those five people got may well

:03:57.:04:02.

have fallen short and we will have an appropriate investigation of that

:04:03.:04:06.

matter. I've people banking in hospital of 80,000 being treated is

:04:07.:04:13.

not a crisis. -- five people banking in hospital. Some people questioned

:04:14.:04:17.

the treatment of patients and families. Some people out there

:04:18.:04:23.

don't know whether the waiting time contributed to their deaths. My

:04:24.:04:29.

understanding is that some of those cases where particular conditions

:04:30.:04:32.

that needed treated urgently. So the waiting time was crucial. It has

:04:33.:04:38.

also been confirmed that the coroner is now dealing with four of the five

:04:39.:04:43.

cases. An indication of just how seriously the Belfast Health Trust

:04:44.:04:48.

is treating the issue. MLAs weren't the only ones to react

:04:49.:04:52.

to the revelations uncovered by the BBC's Spotlight programme. Medical

:04:53.:04:54.

professionals have been quick too. Some say they knew there were

:04:55.:04:57.

problems and aren't altogether surprised. Helen Jones reports.

:04:58.:05:08.

The revelations were shocking and the reaction quick to follow. For

:05:09.:05:13.

the Royal Oak and nursing, it is a case, we told you so 18 ago. -- the

:05:14.:05:19.

Royal College of nursing. It is disturbing that this system is not

:05:20.:05:24.

working. The ability of staff to provide safe and dignified care has

:05:25.:05:28.

been compromised. Some of the five patients who died had been waiting

:05:29.:05:31.

up to three hours after their initial assessment. The Belfast

:05:32.:05:35.

trust said they should have been seen within one hour. There is a

:05:36.:05:39.

shortage of hospital doctors throughout Northern Ireland and long

:05:40.:05:44.

trolley waits to not just affect the Royal Victoria Hospital. You need to

:05:45.:05:49.

have two or three days of high volume of people coming in and all

:05:50.:05:52.

of a sudden the beds are full. The whole hospital cannot admit them.

:05:53.:05:56.

They had this problem. I have repeatedly said this and said that

:05:57.:06:00.

this was what was needed to solve the problem. The response that I got

:06:01.:06:07.

was, I was told to resign. The minister did not want to you the

:06:08.:06:13.

truth. Is this system at the Royal Victoria Hospital at breaking point?

:06:14.:06:18.

It does not have enough staff to cope with the period. Something they

:06:19.:06:23.

occur at weekends. The important thing is that nobody actually can

:06:24.:06:28.

anticipate or forecast that accurately. The system is not

:06:29.:06:31.

flexible enough to put resources around the hospital to make sure

:06:32.:06:39.

that whenever the Q is there, the staff are there. It has announced

:06:40.:06:42.

the families of those five patients do not all know about the

:06:43.:06:45.

circumstances surrounding those deaths. The trust said some families

:06:46.:06:50.

do not want any more information and for those who do, they will be fully

:06:51.:06:56.

informed. On the whole, A E units do a good job with limited resources

:06:57.:06:59.

but the revelations have raised concerns. The last 48 hours have

:07:00.:07:06.

been a shocking time for people in our emergency departments. We are

:07:07.:07:10.

concerned on the patient council that the families who have been

:07:11.:07:13.

involved get the right support at this time and of course as well as

:07:14.:07:16.

the families that are directly involved, there will be other people

:07:17.:07:20.

who want to use our emergency services and will be worried about

:07:21.:07:24.

how safe they are. There are also people whose family have been in

:07:25.:07:28.

emergency departments in the past and they will be wondering about the

:07:29.:07:30.

care that they received there as well. Lots of issues for people who

:07:31.:07:36.

use emergency departments. It seems the health service is rarely out of

:07:37.:07:38.

the spotlight. Making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Mate we asked

:07:39.:07:46.

someone from the Belfast Health Trust to be interviewed this

:07:47.:07:52.

evening. -- we asked someone. No one was available.

:07:53.:07:55.

Attacks against the companies once owned by Sean Quinn appear to have

:07:56.:07:59.

taken a new twist - with another firm now being targeted. Last week

:08:00.:08:02.

it was announced that Quinn Rooftiles was being sold to Lagan

:08:03.:08:04.

Cement Products. Since then, hundreds of thousands of pounds of

:08:05.:08:08.

damage has been caused. Here's our South West reporter, Julian Fowler.

:08:09.:08:16.

The message left by those who vandalised this quarry near all is

:08:17.:08:21.

burned last week is clear. More than 800,000 pounds of damage has been

:08:22.:08:25.

caused to plant and equipment at three different sites in attacks

:08:26.:08:29.

similar to those carried out against the former Quinn Group. The attacks

:08:30.:08:37.

began after apprentice and rented it was selling Quinn Rooftiles and that

:08:38.:08:41.

the new owners were committed to continuing employment and production

:08:42.:08:45.

at this plant. -- Aventus. The campaign of sabotage which began

:08:46.:08:52.

some time ago has now spread all over Ireland. There has been arson

:08:53.:08:59.

attacks on three Lagan related properties in Aventus two and as far

:09:00.:09:04.

away as court. Lambert -- Lagan 's is owned by Kevin Lagan. Last year

:09:05.:09:10.

coming he was sent a bullet in the post during plans for a joint

:09:11.:09:15.

venture with Quinn Group. But the Pond Park quarry in Lisburn belongs

:09:16.:09:20.

to a different company. That is owned by his brother Michael. It

:09:21.:09:24.

said it is not connected in anyway to the former Sean Quinn businesses

:09:25.:09:29.

and says the attacks are nonsensical, serving no purpose but

:09:30.:09:32.

to damage property and threaten jobs. Lagan 's and says its

:09:33.:09:39.

indigenous eye this company committed to providing long-term

:09:40.:09:43.

quality employment. -- says it is an indigenous Irish company. It says

:09:44.:09:47.

there is no justification for this vandalism. Police are best to

:09:48.:09:52.

getting these latest incident but so far, no one has been charged in

:09:53.:09:55.

connection with the campaign of destruction. -- police are

:09:56.:10:00.

investigating these latest incidents.

:10:01.:10:05.

There's plenty to come on the programme before seven.

:10:06.:10:08.

We'll hear how an Armagh piper found himself playing with the rocker

:10:09.:10:15.

Bruce Springsteen. Some flights are being diverted from

:10:16.:10:17.

Dublin Airport to Belfast International because of the 100mph

:10:18.:10:23.

winds coming from the west. This latest Atlantic weather front

:10:24.:10:25.

hitting these shores is called Storm Darwin. As you'd expect, some Irish

:10:26.:10:32.

Sea sailings have been cancelled. We're being warned to expect strong

:10:33.:10:35.

winds tonight and possible damage to the electricity network. As Will

:10:36.:10:40.

Leitch reports, today's bad weather is not a one-off.

:10:41.:10:49.

The relentless cycle of storm and take this winter makes its mark

:10:50.:10:52.

again. This time a partial road collapsed in the busy A2 shore road

:10:53.:10:58.

between Rostrevor, a root undergoing repairs. It has meant buses

:10:59.:11:02.

diverted, motorists as to think of another route and big delays. This

:11:03.:11:09.

is a serious situation. That road uses a lot of heavy vehicles. We'll

:11:10.:11:14.

use a lot of by roads and they are very busy. I would not advise anyone

:11:15.:11:20.

to take this route. There needs to be a comprehensive survey carried

:11:21.:11:25.

out along this entire stretch. The sea wall collapsed last year as

:11:26.:11:29.

well. With rising tides coming, climate change coming, we need to

:11:30.:11:35.

make sure that this is fit for purpose for 21st-century weather

:11:36.:11:39.

conditions. Many places in the north-west had been affected by

:11:40.:11:41.

heavy snowfall overnight and some schools were forced to close. The

:11:42.:11:48.

roads service said it deployed extra critters. The rest of the rains have

:11:49.:11:53.

hit the South West of Ireland. Gusts of 100 mph. -- the worst of the

:11:54.:12:02.

rains. One onlooker captured the first few seconds of this incident.

:12:03.:12:13.

By late afternoon, more than a quarter of a million homes in the

:12:14.:12:16.

Republic were without power. Tonight, then align's Belfast to

:12:17.:12:23.

Liverpool ferry has been cancelled and airports are experiencing delays

:12:24.:12:26.

from other areas including Dublin. The North should escape the worst of

:12:27.:12:31.

the winds, even so and amber warning is in force for all areas here this

:12:32.:12:39.

evening. School principals who feared they would lose thousands of

:12:40.:12:43.

pounds in a budget shake-up have given a cautious welcome to news of

:12:44.:12:46.

a reprieve. The Education Committee at the Assembly has heard assurances

:12:47.:12:50.

that not a single school will lose money because of what's called the

:12:51.:12:52.

"Common Funding Scheme". The minister has added extra money after

:12:53.:12:55.

widespread complaints from parents and teachers. This report from our

:12:56.:12:57.

education correspondent, Maggie Taggart. Most people assume that

:12:58.:13:06.

there is just the one stabbed. Within a few days the financial

:13:07.:13:12.

fortunes of 600 primary schools has improved. It has been clearly spelt

:13:13.:13:16.

out that no schools will lose money in their next budgets after the

:13:17.:13:21.

Minister for education intervened. His Commons that he will put a fund

:13:22.:13:28.

in place, so in terms of the funding position, that is clear. The aim of

:13:29.:13:34.

the changes was to divert extra money to improve schools which have

:13:35.:13:37.

a lot of pupils in poorer families. I understand they will still get

:13:38.:13:42.

increased budgets, not as much as expected, but a bit extra. This

:13:43.:13:47.

school was due to have been the biggest loser, it faced a cut of

:13:48.:13:53.

?44,000 and even though its existing surplus would almost have covered

:13:54.:13:57.

that, it fought against the cuts. I will give the Minister credit. He

:13:58.:14:12.

has taken a lot of criticism, but this is the day to give him credit.

:14:13.:14:15.

He has listened, over 15,000 submissions. Most MLAs today were

:14:16.:14:17.

not satisfied with the apparent good -- good news. Is it not just a stay

:14:18.:14:24.

of execution? As Sinn Fein minister backed the move of his minister. I

:14:25.:14:32.

say this now, if it turns out that there are losers, I will stand

:14:33.:14:37.

beside you on front of the cameras and criticise the Minister, because

:14:38.:14:41.

if he is telling lies, I will criticise him. The DUP chairman said

:14:42.:14:46.

if the Minister's proposals were not changed, they would be heading for

:14:47.:14:53.

the Executive and would be stopped. Tomorrow, on BBC Newsline... We'll

:14:54.:14:56.

have the first of two reports on how industry is collaborating with

:14:57.:14:59.

schools to better prepare pupils for the workplace. First up is the world

:15:00.:15:04.

of IT, and then on Friday our focus will be engineering. That's here on

:15:05.:15:10.

the programme at 6.30. Still to come on the programme... The Ballymoney

:15:11.:15:13.

man Michael Dunlop on his change of heart about racing this season. The

:15:14.:15:25.

Public Health Agency has launched a campaign on organ donation urging

:15:26.:15:28.

people to let their relations know if they want to be donors. The move

:15:29.:15:32.

comes is at time when the Stormont Assembly tries to find agreement on

:15:33.:15:35.

how people should donate. Eunan McConville has speaking to recent

:15:36.:15:38.

organ recipient, who had almost given up hope. A simple glass of

:15:39.:15:52.

water, but until recently it was far from simple for William Johnson. He

:15:53.:15:55.

had a defective kidney and until four weeks ago, he could not eat or

:15:56.:16:01.

drink what he wanted. This is him at two years ago, filmed during one of

:16:02.:16:06.

his dialysis sessions at his home. He did this four times a week for 16

:16:07.:16:11.

years. Then he got a call in January, a kidney had been found.

:16:12.:16:17.

After 16 years, I had given up any kind of hope that a transplant would

:16:18.:16:27.

be there for me. At times, he was so ill he could barely eat. Even

:16:28.:16:29.

playing with his friends was a struggle. Someone somewhere had told

:16:30.:16:36.

their family that they wanted to be an organ donor. This is a new

:16:37.:16:39.

advertiser meant that the Public Health Agency hopes will get people

:16:40.:16:44.

to sign the donor register. We will never forget what your family did.

:16:45.:16:50.

Donor registration has become a little sized. This is the system

:16:51.:16:55.

that is in place, people have to actively register and this campaign

:16:56.:16:59.

is urging people to do that, but it is also asking people to have a

:17:00.:17:03.

conversation with their families and loved ones, let them know what their

:17:04.:17:08.

wishes are. Talk to your loved ones about organ donation, do not be

:17:09.:17:12.

scared of it. It is something we think should be celebrated, because

:17:13.:17:21.

when you decide to do nature organs, you can save up to seven

:17:22.:17:23.

other lives. That is a good legacy. The dialysis machine is idle, but it

:17:24.:17:27.

will stay in his house for the next three months to give his body time

:17:28.:17:31.

to adjust to the new kidney and after that, he hopes it will be

:17:32.:17:38.

taken away for good. For any musician, being asked to record with

:17:39.:17:41.

another artist is always a compliment. For an Uillean piper

:17:42.:17:44.

from Armagh, a recent request came from a MOST unexpected quarter. Our

:17:45.:17:47.

South-East reporter Gordon Adair has been talking to Cillian Vallely.

:17:48.:18:03.

Cillian Vallely on stage with some familiar faces, recently he has been

:18:04.:18:17.

keeping different musical company. Born in Armagh, Cillian Vallely

:18:18.:18:21.

lives in New York and it was there that he received an unexpected

:18:22.:18:26.

insight. I was sitting one night in the apartments and someone sent a

:18:27.:18:33.

message, someone I did not know asking would I be available in the

:18:34.:18:40.

next day or so to do a recording and the guy was called Kurt and I

:18:41.:18:44.

thought it was his record. It soon became apparent that this was not

:18:45.:18:49.

his record and so Cillian Vallely put the obvious question to him, who

:18:50.:18:54.

exactly will I be recording with? He said, Bruce Springsteen. I remained

:18:55.:19:03.

calm. I almost thought he was joking. It was no joke and within

:19:04.:19:08.

days, Cillian Vallely found himself in the recording studio at

:19:09.:19:12.

Springsteen's New Jersey home laying down tracks for the new album. The

:19:13.:19:17.

end result has helped the album reached number one in ten countries,

:19:18.:19:25.

including the US and earned this modest Uillean piper and unlikely

:19:26.:19:29.

place in rock history. -- mackerel and unlikely place.

:19:30.:19:41.

Sporting talent next and a Ballymoney man we had thought

:19:42.:19:45.

wouldn't be racing this year. Stephen Watson has been talking to

:19:46.:19:51.

Michael Dunlop. He had threatened to quit road racing? He revealed to us

:19:52.:19:58.

on this programme in November that he was seriously considering giving

:19:59.:20:04.

up the sport. He'd split with Honda and told us back then he was finding

:20:05.:20:08.

it difficult to cope with the roller-coaster of highs and lows

:20:09.:20:13.

that the sport brings. But he's had a change of mind and you've been

:20:14.:20:19.

speaking to him. He's signed with factory team BMW to compete in the

:20:20.:20:22.

international road races, his first big race event will be the North

:20:23.:20:27.

West 200 in May. And in an exclusive television interview he told me he

:20:28.:20:36.

will be raring and ready to race. Here comes Michael, here's not

:20:37.:20:43.

giving up yet. That is exactly what Northern Ireland's hottest road

:20:44.:20:47.

racing talent was threatening to do. Michael Dunlop was disillusioned

:20:48.:20:50.

with the sport, but he has had a change of heart after an offer from

:20:51.:20:56.

one of the leading manufacturers. There was a lot of going back and

:20:57.:21:01.

forth, but my love is still there for the sport. The hunger and

:21:02.:21:05.

wanting to wind, it is still there. It was being in the right place and

:21:06.:21:14.

BMW know that. I will be the only man on the team. We have the factory

:21:15.:21:20.

behind this. Dunlop had a record-breaking last season, four

:21:21.:21:24.

victories at the Isle of Man TT and wins at the North West 200 and

:21:25.:21:29.

Ulster Grand Prix. Despite the success, he was not joking about

:21:30.:21:34.

early retirement. I had no intention of coming back, I loved the sport, I

:21:35.:21:40.

will not get away from that, I love the danger, it is hard to replace

:21:41.:21:45.

that and I am doing something this year which will be high risk and to

:21:46.:21:49.

all the people who think it is again, it is not. It is a big game,

:21:50.:21:55.

it it is a life risk thing and I wanted to make sure it was right for

:21:56.:22:01.

me. I know what I need to do. Here comes Michael Dunlop. Michael

:22:02.:22:08.

Dunlop, back on a bike and hoping to take a lot more chequered flags in

:22:09.:22:14.

2014. It's not just our golfers like Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and

:22:15.:22:17.

Darren Clarke who are often enjoying the jet set lifestyle in America. A

:22:18.:22:21.

local swimmer is receiving some five star treatment and she's still a

:22:22.:22:25.

the snow got heavier, the night's other match between Germany and

the cause, but there is no question that storms are hitting some places.

:25:13.:25:16.

We have the latest weather. We have an amber wind warning and we

are expecting winds to peak between now and midnight to up to 80 miles

:25:58.:26:01.

there will be fresh snow line, particularly on high ground, but it

:26:02.:26:06.

will be nasty on the roads and by the end of the night, temperatures

:26:07.:26:11.

will be low enough for frost and ice. A quieter day tomorrow, but it

:26:12.:26:16.

will be cold to begin with, wind and will not be a major problem, but you

may find it will be tricky on some roads, try and bright weather for a

:26:42.:26:45.

cold, the wind will be blustery, but not as bad a day as today. Add drier

will be more strong winds, it is more low pressure will factor parts

of Britain and Ireland through Friday night and into the weekend

one is coming our way by the end of the weekend. Tomorrow, a little bit

quieter, it will be cold and blustery, more wet and windy weather
