A priest has assured a grieving family that they don't stand alone | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
against "those who live in the shadows". | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
He was speaking at the funeral of 33-year-old Michael McGibbon, | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
murdered in a paramilitary-style shooting in an alleyway | :00:19. | :00:18. | |

The words most important in the life and the family | :00:28. | :00:44. | |
of 33-year-old Michael McGibbon - husband, daddy, brother, son. | :00:45. | :00:53. | |
At Holy Cross, joined by more than 800 mourners, | :00:54. | :00:56. | |

Michaela, Cory-Leigh - and helped them begin the process | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Inside, reassurance that in their grief after the murder, | :01:05. | :01:18. | |
the family of Michael McGibbon do not stand alone. | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
The vast majority of people here in Ardoyne and beyond this parish | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
are with them, standing strong with them | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
against those who live in the shadows and emerge | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
from the shadows to perpetrate foul deeds which deprived | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
a wife of her husband, children of their daddy, | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
a father of his son and siblings of a brother. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |

schoolfriends of eight-year-old Shea. | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
The death of Michael McGibbon marks another block on the road to | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
Thank God for that peace that we had, but | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
remember it is very fragile and needs to be nurtured. | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
As the family moved on to the committal in Carnmoney, | :02:29. | :02:42. | |
The Queen has been celebrating her 90th birthday today and a number | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
of events have been taking place here to mark the occasion. | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
There was a 21-gun salute at Hillsborough Castle this | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
afternoon, and this evening beacons were lit in various parts | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
A 21 gun salute to mark the Queen's 21 visit to Northern Ireland. | :02:55. | :03:10. | |
More than 900 beacons were lit across the UK, | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
including this one in the grounds of Belfast City Hall. | :03:13. | :03:13. | |
And helping to light it was Albert Moore, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
who also has good reason to celebrate today. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
He was born within ten minutes of the Queen and has always | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
Absolutely charming person. If you speak to her, say a word to her, she | :03:25. | :03:40. | |
elaborates on as if she has no new all your life. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
During the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour in 2012, she visited | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
St Macartin's Cathedral in Enniskillen before crossing | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
the street to St Michael's Catholic Church. | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
An interdenominational service was held before | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Meanwhile, another birthday girl, Peggy Bogue, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
It's an honour to be included in it. I enjoyed it when I was over in | :03:58. | :04:12. | |
Buckingham Palace when I was 18, it was lovely and we had a great time. | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
-- 80. And the celebrations | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
continued in the North West, a spectacular light show rounding | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
off a momentous day. Businessman Sean Quinn has condemned | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
abusive and threatening signs which have appeared at a wind farm | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
which was once part of It comes after a Cork company | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
working at the wind farm moved off In a statement, Mr Quinn said | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
the intimidation of workers was offensive and unacceptable, | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
though he added that more could be done to address the unease | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
and tension in the area. There has been a long series | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
of attacks on businesses which were once owned | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
by Mr Quinn in Fermanagh. Work has started on what will be | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Northern Ireland's second The ?20 million project | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
is being financed by Belfast Harbour and aims to be ready by the end | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
of the year. Our business correspondent | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
Julian O'Neill reports. Planning permission for the studios | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
was obtained in February Builders are on site, aiming | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
to complete the project by December. The studio complex is off the M2 | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
on the fringes of Belfast Docks in a redevelopment area known | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
as Giant's Park. Belfast Harbour is funding | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
the scheme and has consulted with film companies | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
on the building's This project will clearly make | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
Northern Ireland number two in Europe in terms of film location, | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
number two only to the south-east of England, which is dominated | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
by international names Northern Ireland is developing | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
a reputation as a cost-effective venue for major film | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
and TV productions. Demand for specialist space | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
is strong, with the only other major venue in Titanic Quarter usually | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
tied up doing HBO's Game of Thrones. Belfast Harbour is seeking | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
to capitalise on Helped by grants and UK tax breaks, | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
Belfast is on the movie map, supporting jobs | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
and generating millions of pounds' worth of spend by | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
international production companies. Newry firm O'Hare and McGovern has | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
been awarded the construction contract and it says the project | :06:29. | :06:30. | |
will provide work for 200 people. The Liberal Democrat peer | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
who was responsible for liberalising abortion law in Britain says it's | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
ridiculous that Northern Ireland continues to operate under | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the 1861 legislation. Lord David Steel introduced the 1967 | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Abortion Act to Britain, but that doesn't apply to Northern | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Ireland. Speaking in an interview | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
for The View tonight, Lord Steel says the legislation | :06:55. | :06:56. | |
is outdated and shouldn't Well, I think we have to face up | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
to the fact that the law in Northern Ireland is simply ridiculous - | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
1861, and it is time they came up at least | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
as far as 1967 if not 2016. You can see all of that, | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
including inside the legislation vault, on The View just | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
after this programme. He was born in Dublin but always | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
regarded himself as an Ulsterman. 100 years ago today, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Sir Roger Casement was arrested by British authorities | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
as he returned to Ireland from Germany, where he'd | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
been seeking support He was later hanged for treason | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
at London's Pentonville Prison. His arrest at Banna Strand | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
in County Kerry was marked today with a special ceremony, | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
as Mervyn Jess reports. The Irish President was among those | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
who gathered at Banna Strand near Tralee today to remember | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Sir Roger Casement, who was arrested shortly after coming ashore | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
from a German U-boat Years later, his remains were | :07:56. | :08:15. | |
returned to Ireland and buried in Dublin with full military honours. | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
The Dublin-born Protestant grew up in County Antrim and was a former | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
British diplomat who sympathised with the Irish nationalists. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
Throughout his life, Roger Casement always thought | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
When he and a small number of friends, including | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Erskine Childers, took the initiative of the Kilcoole gun | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
runnings in the summer of 1914, they had in mind the example | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
of the Ulster Volunteers, who had imported guns from Germany | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
This World War I U-boat gun has been sited in Bangor | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
for the best part of a century, given to the town in memory of a | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
local sailor who won the VC, but it has a connection with | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
It is from the German submarine which brought | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
Roger Casement back to Ireland from Germany. | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
It is no coincidence that the U-boat which carried | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Roger Casement to Ireland, its gun was presented | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
to a town in Ireland, and when I refer to Ireland I refer | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
to it as it was before 1922, went everybody referred | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Today, Sir Roger Casement was remembered with a wreath-laying near | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
Banna Strand, the place where he was arrested. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
The curlew was once common here but has been in decline | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
Now a local conservationist is walking 500 miles from Fermanagh | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
to England's east coast to try and help efforts to save it, | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
as our agriculture and environment correspondent | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
In her distinctive curlew-emblazoned jumper, I meet conservationist | :10:00. | :10:08. | |
Mary Colwell at a Fermanagh wetland where the birds are known to nest. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
This kind of boggy place provides them with food and cover, | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
but drainage schemes to improve farmland have seen habitat diminish | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
and that's hammered numbers of this once-common bird of moor | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
and mountain, with its evocative call. | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
To raise awareness, Mary plans to walk 500 miles from Enniskillen | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
to the east coast of England, through places | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
I love the way they look, the long bill, it makes me laugh, it looks | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
quite comical, and combine that with its call, | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
which is evocative and beautiful, especially this time of year | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
when they are breeding and you have a collection of characteristics | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
This area is managed to help the bird. | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
And with just a couple of hundred breeding pairs left | :11:07. | :11:24. | |
It'll take Mary six weeks to complete her trek. | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
She says she feels she must do something to help a bird | :11:33. | :11:48. | |
