:01:11. > :01:14.action against him. Fred Scappaticci is accused of being a
:01:14. > :01:20.senior member of an IRA unit which killed suspected informers - a
:01:20. > :01:23.claim he denies. The alleged victim is also suing the Ministry of

:01:47. > :01:50.be the most high-ranking informer in the IRA. She claims police and
:01:50. > :01:54.the Ministry of Defence knowingly allowed her to be interrogated and
:01:54. > :01:58.threatened by a man acting as an agent of the state. Margaret Keeley
:01:58. > :02:03.has launched legal action against them and is now also taking action
:02:03. > :02:07.against Fred Scappaticci. She claims damages for personal
:02:07. > :02:11.injuries, false imprisonment, assault and battery. Over three
:02:11. > :02:16.days in 1994, detectives at Castlereagh questioned Margaret
:02:16. > :02:20.Keeley about an attack on a senior RUC officer. They also questioned
:02:21. > :02:26.her then husband, who uses the name Kevin Fulton and operated as an
:02:26. > :02:30.agent within the ranks of the IRA. When released, the I Ray Porter to
:02:30. > :02:34.a house in the New Lodge area of North Belfast and interrogated her
:02:34. > :02:39.for two days. She did not want to appear on camera but agreed to
:02:39. > :02:44.speak to the BBC. She says she has no doubt about who was calling the
:02:44. > :02:48.shots during the IRA interrogation. A man accused of being a senior
:02:48. > :02:54.member of the IRA's notorious Internal Security Unit, which
:02:54. > :02:59.hunted down and killed suspected informers. Freddy Scappaticci. A
:02:59. > :03:07.how did you recognise him? I knew him from Dundalk. And I saw a
:03:07. > :03:11.photograph of him. I said, that's him. He was one of the ones that
:03:11. > :03:16.was interrogating me. He interrogated me twice. On two
:03:16. > :03:20.different occasions. How did you react when you find out, when you
:03:20. > :03:24.heard the allegations that the man who interrogated you was an agent
:03:24. > :03:28.working for the state? I could not believe it. It's unreal, he should
:03:29. > :03:32.be brought to justice for what he has done to people and myself.
:03:32. > :03:36.initial request to include Scappaticci in Margaret Keeley's
:03:36. > :03:41.legal action was refused but that decision was overturned on appeal.
:03:41. > :03:46.In he said went, Mr Justice McCloskey said the allegations give
:03:46. > :03:50.rise to acute public concern and interest. It raised the spectre of
:03:50. > :03:56.a grave and profound assault on the rule of law and an affront to
:03:56. > :03:59.public conscience. This is the man at the centre of the case. The
:03:59. > :04:04.grandson of an Italian immigrant who came to Northern Ireland in
:04:04. > :04:07.search of work, Fred Scappaticci was a bricklayer who is accused of
:04:07. > :04:12.feeding as secret double life. He has a better than the past two
:04:12. > :04:16.being a republican but has denied claims that he was an IRA informer.
:04:17. > :04:21.I am Fred Scappaticci. I'm sitting today with my solicitor. I am
:04:21. > :04:28.telling you that I am not guilty of any of these allegations. I was
:04:28. > :04:33.involved in the republican movement. 13 years ago. But I have no
:04:33. > :04:36.involvement this past 13 years. Fred Scappaticci's West Belfast
:04:36. > :04:41.solicitor has been given an writ stating that his client is being
:04:41. > :04:46.sued and giving him two weeks to respond. A solicitor acting for
:04:46. > :04:54.Margaret Keeley says the case is unprecedented. It is hugely
:04:54. > :04:58.significant. The first time that case of this picture and indeed,
:04:58. > :05:01.quoting the judge, that is what he confirmed. Fred Scappaticci's
:05:01. > :05:06.solicitor confirmed that a writ has been served and said the
:05:06. > :05:08.allegations would be vigorously denied. The police have been
:05:08. > :05:14.searching the garden of a house in Ballyclare because of information
:05:14. > :05:16.that the body of an infant is buried there. The search is in its
:05:16. > :05:24.third day and our district journalist, Ciara Riddell, is at
:05:24. > :05:28.the scene. What do you know? search continued all day at this
:05:28. > :05:34.house behind me, you can see the police car at Hawthorn Way in
:05:34. > :05:37.Ballyclare. It started on Monday morning at around 11:00am when
:05:37. > :05:41.police received information that the body of an infant or baby might
:05:41. > :05:45.be buried at the back of this house. The person who give this
:05:45. > :05:49.information did not say from what we understand how long ago this had
:05:49. > :05:52.happened but we know it isn't linked to the current occupants of
:05:52. > :05:56.the house. The rent the house at the moment and were sent away from
:05:56. > :06:01.their home on Monday when the operation began. Over the past
:06:01. > :06:05.three days this has been a hive of activity. I have seen sniffer dogs
:06:05. > :06:10.coming in and out, a forensic team going in and erecting a tent at the
:06:10. > :06:16.back of the yard. As well as that, police have been searching using
:06:16. > :06:20.equipment given to them by Queen's University. So there is a lot going
:06:20. > :06:24.on and from what I understand, nothing has been found as yet. The
:06:24. > :06:30.operation it ended one hour ago when the police officers left. But
:06:30. > :06:37.this is still very much a crime scene. From what I understand, they
:06:37. > :06:40.will return tomorrow to continue. Thank you. The row between the
:06:40. > :06:42.Housing Executive and DUP minister Nelson McCausland shows no signs of
:06:42. > :06:45.letting up. It's believed the Housing Executive is refusing to
:06:45. > :06:47.give in to the minister's demand that the company Red Sky be
:06:47. > :06:50.reinstated as its main repair and maintenance contractor. The
:06:50. > :06:53.Executive dropped Red Sky in April following claims of poor
:06:53. > :06:58.workmanship and overcharging. But Mr McCausland wants the company to
:06:58. > :07:00.be kept on until a new system for awarding contracts is put in place.
:07:00. > :07:06.He rejects any suggestions of improper connections between the
:07:06. > :07:10.DUP and Red Sky bosses. This afternoon his party issued a
:07:10. > :07:13.statement on the matter. It said: There is not and never has been any
:07:13. > :07:15.inappropriate relationship between Red Sky and the DUP. Anyone who
:07:15. > :07:21.suggests otherwise should be prepared to stand over their
:07:21. > :07:24.malicious claims in court rather than trading in innuendo and smear.
:07:24. > :07:26.The party said it would be negligent for any elected
:07:26. > :07:36.representative not to regularly engage with a major employer in
:07:36. > :07:37.
:07:37. > :07:39.their constituency. The party's East Belfast representatives are
:07:39. > :07:42.rightly concerned at 400 jobs being jeopardised, particularly when
:07:42. > :07:45.there is more than a whiff of sectarian motivation. The DUP went
:07:45. > :07:48.on to say: Fraud and corruption will not be tolerated in any arm's
:07:48. > :07:50.length body and that includes the Housing Executive. With the latest
:07:50. > :07:52.developments, here's our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon. These
:07:52. > :07:55.union members believe Nelson McCausland's attack on a Housing
:07:55. > :07:57.Executive is an attack on them. is about time Mr McCausland give up
:07:57. > :08:03.presiding in this building and that he did the decent thing and
:08:03. > :08:06.resigned. The Minister stands by his allegations but rejects claims
:08:06. > :08:09.of inappropriate relationships between Red Sky and his party,
:08:09. > :08:14.including allegations that members have attended dinner parties at the
:08:14. > :08:18.home of the company honour. Do you know anything about dinner parties?
:08:18. > :08:23.Nothing. But I would not be surprised if at some time a
:08:23. > :08:29.politician happens to have a meal with the businessman, just as
:08:29. > :08:33.people have dinners with people from the BBC. Does that caused the
:08:33. > :08:37.problem? I have been at dinners with all sorts of people. I have
:08:37. > :08:42.had ice-cream with the mayor of Bangor. On all sorts of occasions
:08:42. > :08:46.and all sorts of meetings. You know that isn't the type of dinner or
:08:46. > :08:51.meeting that people are talking about? That is my challenge to the
:08:51. > :08:55.person who is making this charge. To come up with a real challenge,
:08:55. > :09:00.out or else withdraw. Would you be surprised that the claim was
:09:00. > :09:07.correct? I am waiting to hear anything for that individual. In
:09:07. > :09:14.due course, I'm sure he will find himself in difficulties. Bar Red
:09:14. > :09:16.Sky funding the DUP? Red Sky have not contributed to the DUP.
:09:16. > :09:22.Categorically, Red Sky do not contribute to the coffers of the
:09:22. > :09:24.DUP? When I ask, I was told they had not. The Minister was asked
:09:24. > :09:28.directly about the allegations by a picture of the community which
:09:28. > :09:34.oversees his department. I put to the Minister directly that he or
:09:35. > :09:38.his party have any interest with Red Sky and he assured me that
:09:38. > :09:43.isn't the case and I have listened and accepted that from the Minister
:09:43. > :09:46.and I have no difficulty repeating that on his behalf. My concern is
:09:46. > :09:51.that the issue around a company which has been found guilty of
:09:51. > :09:55.serious breaches of contract with the Housing Executive would be
:09:55. > :10:00.somehow allowed to continue providing a service for a period of
:10:00. > :10:04.time. This affair is now firmly in the political arena and retains the
:10:04. > :10:10.potential to cause difficulties around the Executive table. Were it
:10:10. > :10:17.will surely be released tomorrow. Our business correspondent, Kevin
:10:17. > :10:20.Magee, is here. Nobody is backing down, Kevin? The latest development
:10:20. > :10:24.is that the board of the Housing Executive have responded to the
:10:24. > :10:27.minister's request that this contract with Red Sky should be
:10:27. > :10:31.terminated and I understand the board of the Housing Executive have
:10:31. > :10:38.made it clear and in no uncertain terms that they will not be ending
:10:38. > :10:41.this contract with --. They have spell that out in the response. A
:10:41. > :10:46.three-month notice period had been given to Red Sky and that expires
:10:46. > :10:49.next week and my understanding is that the executive have people and
:10:49. > :10:54.other contractors in the wings, waiting to take over. The Minister
:10:54. > :11:00.has an option, he can apply to the Executive and tell them that they
:11:00. > :11:03.have to issue, he can tell them they have to do what he says but my
:11:03. > :11:07.understanding is they are threatening a judicial review. We
:11:07. > :11:10.have a major stand off and that is unusual in the public sector.
:11:10. > :11:15.contract was ended after a long investigation and to have some of
:11:15. > :11:22.the reports? This pile of documents goes to the absolute core of this
:11:22. > :11:29.dispute. 12 inches. I got these and there are hundreds of pages. These
:11:29. > :11:33.are what the executive says is evidence, that Red Sky was
:11:33. > :11:37.overcharging and the evidence is in here and the company have been
:11:37. > :11:42.asking for payments for work that was not finished and had not even
:11:42. > :11:47.been carried out. The executive say that if we go along with what the
:11:47. > :11:52.Minister has asked, we are turning our back on this body of evidence,
:11:52. > :11:56.which took two years together. sign of resolution? Well, the
:11:56. > :12:01.Minister goes on holiday on Friday, the Stormont Executive meets
:12:01. > :12:06.tomorrow, the contract is due to expire next week. So, I think that
:12:06. > :12:10.time is running out but there is no end in sight. Thank you. You're
:12:10. > :12:16.watching BBC Newsline. Still to come on the programme. Is the gap
:12:16. > :12:26.in Bangor's smile finally going to get some repair work? Did Shorts
:12:26. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:29.design the first double-decker passenger jet? A Dungannon company
:12:29. > :12:35.has been fined 25,000 for breaching health and safety law in an
:12:35. > :12:39.incident which left one of its workers with serious brain injuries.
:12:39. > :12:44.A judge said that 42 year-old Lucas Da Costa is close to being in a
:12:44. > :12:53.vegetative state. He was struck by falling pallets at the Linden Food
:12:53. > :12:56.factory. Natasha Sayee reports. The 42 year-old worked as a palace
:12:56. > :12:59.truck-driver in a warehouse at the factory and was asked to lift some
:12:59. > :13:03.palates but was not warned that they were not suitable for his
:13:03. > :13:08.truck and when he moved them, the load behind, stacked five metres
:13:08. > :13:13.high, collapsed on top of him. Mr Da Costa is originally from East
:13:13. > :13:17.Timor work and has four children, all under 10. He is now a living
:13:17. > :13:21.apart from his family at this nursing home, where he receives
:13:21. > :13:26.specialist care and, despite surgery, he remains severely
:13:26. > :13:31.disabled. The family are completely devastated, as you can imagine. The
:13:31. > :13:35.trial judge said that Mr de Costa has been left close to a vegetative
:13:35. > :13:40.state. You can imagine the impact, the devastating impact this has on
:13:40. > :13:44.the family. The managing director of London foods, seen here in the
:13:44. > :13:49.navy tie, released a statement, saying the accident was distressing,
:13:49. > :13:54.the company's health and safety manager also said safety at the
:13:54. > :13:57.factory is a priority. The judge said it was a tragic incident in
:13:57. > :14:02.which Mr de Costa had suffered serious debilitating injuries that
:14:02. > :14:05.would be with him for the rest of his life. But he said that London
:14:05. > :14:09.foods is a responsible company which takes up and safety seriously
:14:09. > :14:16.and had gone the extra mile to insure that accidents like this
:14:16. > :14:26.don't happen again. The company was fined �25,000 and the Dacosta
:14:26. > :14:27.
:14:27. > :14:32.Residents in Crossgar are in need of a Pied Piper. They're facing the
:14:32. > :14:37.nightmare of a rat infestation. No one knows where the rat have come
:14:37. > :14:42.from. Will Leach reports. You can go upstairs, but don't dare
:14:42. > :14:45.climb into the attic for fear of what you might catch. The owners of
:14:45. > :14:51.this house, he did not want to appear on camera, are horrified by
:14:51. > :14:59.what they have heard at night, and the tell-tale signs of rats. I know
:14:59. > :15:06.residents has a baby and they cost about four in their attic. Another
:15:06. > :15:09.resident has been having some dying in her house from the poison. It is
:15:09. > :15:12.on going in every house. These houses are clean and tidy and well
:15:13. > :15:17.kept and the owners have lived here for years. In recent weeks they
:15:17. > :15:20.have been troubled with a plague of rats. The local cats have been
:15:20. > :15:25.catching them and leaving them out for their owners. The owners are
:15:25. > :15:33.not so thrilled about that. She will try Cap fit, but only when she
:15:33. > :15:39.cannot get a rat. Spot is a champion rat-catcher. This morning,
:15:39. > :15:44.Northern Ireland Water sent a camera it down this -- calm it down
:15:44. > :15:48.this manhole. Owners noticed a foul smell. Local people think it may be
:15:49. > :15:55.connected to works to build new series in the area. There has never
:15:55. > :15:59.been his problem and in the space of a few weeks, we have been
:15:59. > :16:05.invested. I think the wrath are running from cover from the
:16:05. > :16:09.roadworks. Hopefully it will be temporary. There is no proof that
:16:09. > :16:14.this sewer works are the cause but extra poison has been laid as a
:16:14. > :16:19.precaution. Down Council aren't involved, but up until now, the

:16:43. > :16:48.plants, plans for a new hotel, a theatre, apartments, shops,
:16:48. > :16:54.businesses, retail units, improving the look of the town centre. Also
:16:54. > :17:00.plans to redevelop Queen's Parade. It has been a gap in buying a's

:17:04. > :17:12.financial announcement and commit to any redevelopment in the town.
:17:12. > :17:17.Joining me now is the town centre manager. What do traders think?
:17:17. > :17:20.There is cynicism and frustration, but that is with the general
:17:20. > :17:24.economy. It is not just the government that have to step
:17:24. > :17:27.forward but the private sector as well. What we have in Bangor is an
:17:27. > :17:32.excellent partnership between the business community and the
:17:32. > :17:37.different agencies that can make this move forward. This blot on the
:17:38. > :17:42.landscape, how has it affected investment? There is no doubt there
:17:42. > :17:47.has been an investment hiatus. Different retailers that would have
:17:47. > :17:53.liked to come here would have liked to come to Queen's Parade and want
:17:53. > :18:00.to go into a nice, shiny unit of a certain size and are not getting it.
:18:00. > :18:04.Also joining me is the mayor of North Down. How confident argued
:18:05. > :18:10.that the Government will deliver financially? I am confident. We had
