:01:09. > :01:16.figures it emerged they received on average 10 reports of rape a week,
:01:16. > :01:21.more than 500 a year. Even that figure does not tell the full story.

:01:43. > :01:53.40s, attacked by two men. Last Tuesday, a 16-year-old girl was
:01:53. > :01:57.raped in Banbridge. Four rapes in the past week. All four, including
:01:57. > :02:02.the one here, were carried out by strangers. I have discovered the
:02:02. > :02:08.police are also carrying out three other cases of rape or from the
:02:08. > :02:13.weekend described as domestic. The police investigated 525 claims of
:02:13. > :02:18.rape last year. That is an average of 10 claims in Northern Ireland
:02:18. > :02:21.every week. There is no surprise about this figure among those who
:02:21. > :02:29.help the victims. They believe there are many more cases than ever
:02:29. > :02:35.reported. The shock for us would be that they have been reported. We

:06:38. > :06:43.most of their own money. If they are in their own home, often
:06:43. > :06:46.services are completely free at the point of delivery. When they come
:06:46. > :06:53.to somewhere like this there is a demand upon them to fund part of

:10:13. > :10:19.somewhat eccentric but very generous individual. He would be
:10:19. > :10:29.driven by his chauffeur and he was always dressed in purple. He would
:10:29. > :10:37.get out of the car in a velvet cloak. He had at Tyrolean hat and
:10:37. > :10:42.lots of gold jewellery. The local people sometimes made fun of him,

:10:58. > :11:02.scrappage is a testament to Raymond Brown Leckey's charity work. It is
:11:02. > :11:09.full of records of events he took part in, everything to raise money
:11:09. > :11:17.for Cole to those affected by the Titanic disaster. You can see from
:11:17. > :11:23.the articles that he had a great love of the arts. He was an actor,
:11:23. > :11:28.a musician and a renowned female impersonator. He used his talents
:11:28. > :11:31.to raise money for those less fortunate than him. It was no great
:11:31. > :11:41.surprise that these passions were high in his faults when he made his
:11:41. > :11:44.
:11:44. > :11:49.will. -- In his faults. This is the actual will that he made in 1956,
:11:49. > :11:55.just five years before his death. Despite his colourful life he asks
:11:55. > :11:58.to be buried in the same grave as his father and mother in the old
:11:58. > :12:02.churchyard and that the funeral arrangements be on a simple
:12:02. > :12:08.character. He said that how he wants his possessions and divided,
:12:08. > :12:16.many going to the church and some are going to the government in
:12:16. > :12:21.Northern Ireland. -- some going. The rest was to be divided between
:12:21. > :12:27.the actors' Charitable Trust and the musicians Benevolent Fund. Both
:12:27. > :12:32.charities are based in London and help people in the arts. The Calmac

:12:42. > :12:45.
:12:45. > :12:50.Actors terrible trust. In the 1800s we have an orphanage. Nowadays, we
:12:50. > :12:55.have children in their own homes. Sometimes, the children have
:12:55. > :13:02.special needs, or sometimes that Herod is ill. Sometimes we still
:13:02. > :13:08.have orphans. The musicians Benevolent Fund helps musicians
:13:08. > :13:14.around the UK. Musicians do not have a pension and often they do
:13:14. > :13:19.not get sick pay. If they have a crisis they do not have the
:13:19. > :13:24.financial ability to get through it. We are here to support them. Both
:13:24. > :13:30.charities rely heavily on legacies for funding. It was welcome news
:13:30. > :13:33.they were to benefit from Raymond Brown Leckey's will. The solicitor,
:13:33. > :13:37.who has been dealing with the estate for around 30 years,
:13:37. > :13:42.explained how they were entitled to money from two sources. Firstly,
:13:42. > :13:45.the money raised by the sale of properties belonging to Raymond
:13:45. > :13:55.Brown Leckey in Londonderry and secondly, from brown bread he owned
:13:55. > :14:01.
:14:01. > :14:07.You have a responsibility to pay the ground rent. All ground rents
:14:07. > :14:13.historically are payable half yearly on 1st May and 1st November
:14:13. > :14:16.in areas and that is the same for everybody. There are thousands of
:14:17. > :14:20.ground rents at all over Northern Ireland. Some for as little as a
:14:20. > :14:24.few pounds a year, others going into the hundreds. The two
:14:24. > :14:29.charities were to benefit from a number of ground rents but one in
:14:29. > :14:33.particular was quite lucrative to them and it was to be paid by Derry
:14:33. > :14:41.City Council. For a time, the charities received the money but
:14:41. > :14:46.around 15 years ago, it stopped and no one really knows why.
:14:46. > :14:50.Tomorrow, we will be hearing Derry City Council's response to the
:14:50. > :14:53.claim that they owe the charity thousands of pounds.
:14:53. > :14:56.The Christmas season is a time for giving but as our next report shows,
:14:56. > :14:59.some people can take advantage of that spirit of generosity. Claire
:14:59. > :15:07.Savage visited a church in County Down where donations for a
:15:07. > :15:12.Christmas food appeal was stolen from its very doorstep.
:15:12. > :15:19.Even in a place of worship, for some, nothing is sacred. Yesterday
:15:19. > :15:23.during an the day service, thieves stole bags of food meant for the
:15:23. > :15:30.needy, right from the entrance of the Church. The congregation was
:15:30. > :15:36.still coming to terms with the news at last night's service. It appears
:15:36. > :15:41.that during the sermon, someone came and removed FID and why we are
:15:42. > :15:47.distressed about it is, we are not victims, it is the people who would
:15:47. > :15:51.have been in receipt of those goods and we are dumbfounded that anybody
:15:51. > :15:54.would feel they could take things from a church like that. The items
:15:54. > :15:59.were meant for the East Belfast Mission so they could give
:15:59. > :16:02.Christmas hampers have to 300 struggling families. I was
:16:02. > :16:06.literally stunned and I am still struggling to come to terms with
:16:06. > :16:12.this because I find it so difficult to understand. This is not a
:16:12. > :16:17.victimless crime. What these people have done is removed food literally
:16:17. > :16:21.from the hands of hungry people and potentially hungry children. That,
:16:21. > :16:24.I just find impossible to understand. The mission of the food
:16:24. > :16:28.was collected for have never had anything like this happen before in
:16:28. > :16:35.the 12 years it has been running the appeal. Its director said it
:16:35. > :16:40.could be a sad reflection of the spur economic times. I was quite
:16:40. > :16:44.astonished to hear it and yet, not surprised. The climate we are in,
:16:44. > :16:49.strange things happen and I think there are people who might be doing
:16:49. > :16:55.things that are wrong and cannot be condoned but possibly out of
:16:55. > :17:04.desperation. Parishioners have not been put off by this Act and have
:17:04. > :17:07.already left enough donations to replenish the stolen food.
:17:07. > :17:09.With European fines draining the Northern Ireland budget, today the
:17:09. > :17:11.Department of Agriculture admitted making mistakes in administering EU
:17:11. > :17:21.farm subsidies while calling on Brussels to acknowledge that
:17:21. > :17:24.
:17:24. > :17:28.safeguards are being introduced and to halt the financial penalties.
:17:28. > :17:33.From a camera mounted on an airplane, every field and farm is
:17:33. > :17:37.now being remarked at a cost to taxpayers of �14 million. If the
:17:37. > :17:40.new maps convince Europe that farmers are claiming only what they
:17:40. > :17:45.are entitled to and the Department of Agriculture here is policing
:17:45. > :17:48.their claims properly, then the investment will be worthwhile.
:17:48. > :17:52.Bringing a halt to financial penalties from Europe which are
:17:52. > :17:57.bleeding away taxpayers' money. Today the Agriculture Minister
:17:57. > :18:00.admitted her department had for too long left itself open to the
:18:01. > :18:04.European Court just and the financial penalties imposed. Into
:18:04. > :18:09.1006, they advised a mapping system was not good enough, that our
:18:09. > :18:13.farmers were not telling us of changes to their fields. There are
:18:13. > :18:16.controls that they said were not vigorous and that our approach to
:18:16. > :18:19.penalties was too lenient. Department of Agriculture was not
:18:19. > :18:25.arguing with Brussels over their fairness, the European fines were
:18:25. > :18:32.building up. Just four years, starting in 2005, the financial
:18:32. > :18:35.penalties amounted to over �80 million. Still, they continued.
:18:35. > :18:40.the department is continuing to calculate finds it has allowances
:18:40. > :18:43.at a rate of �15 million, or at �18 million year on year, with the
:18:43. > :18:49.minister not agree with me that that suggests two things. First,
:18:49. > :18:52.either the minister, the new measures have been ineffective or
:18:52. > :18:57.not been brought in at all and secondly, the negotiation with the
:18:57. > :19:00.Commission has borne no fruit whatsoever. Persuading Europe to
:19:01. > :19:04.stop the fines means persuading Brussels that we can be trusted not
:19:04. > :19:09.to pay out subsidies on land covered with winds and scrub but
:19:09. > :19:12.that is proving easier said than done. With the best will in the
:19:12. > :19:16.world, there are just things that she cannot see properly in an
:19:16. > :19:20.aerial photograph, things like bracken and Hedges, they can only
:19:20. > :19:23.be a certain width at the base of a hedge but because we are looking
:19:23. > :19:27.from above, we could only see the top of a hedge so we need farmers
:19:27. > :19:32.to work with us to make sure that the area they claim for it is fully
:19:32. > :19:37.eligible. Optimists hope the new maps will be enough to persuade
:19:37. > :19:40.Europe not to impose more fines. But as yet, there is no sign of
:19:40. > :19:45.Brussels softening its stance and will the Department can prove that
:19:45. > :19:48.EU money is no longer at risk. There is a Rory in the sporting
:19:48. > :19:51.headlines tonight and it is not the one you might think. Here is
:19:51. > :19:54.Stephen Watson. Normally the Rory who hogs the
:19:54. > :19:58.headlines is golfer Roy McIlory but in recent weeks it has been this
:19:58. > :20:01.Rory and he is even younger. Cliftonville footballer Rory
:20:01. > :20:05.Donnelly is just 19 but is attracting attention from
:20:05. > :20:08.Championship clubs across the water, thanks to his goalscoring heroics.
:20:08. > :20:18.He has netted nine in the last three weeks including four at the
:20:18. > :20:21.
:20:21. > :20:27.weekend. Its goals like this which have made
:20:28. > :20:35.Rory Donnelly one of the hottest properties in local football. He
:20:35. > :20:45.has now helped Cliftonville to 10 winds in a row. And into title
:20:45. > :20:48.
:20:48. > :20:53.contention. He is a very bright lad, he anticipates things. The only
:20:53. > :20:58.thing that will be 10 is that if he becomes complacent. Linfield still
:20:58. > :21:03.lead the way at the top of the table. After a 5-1 victory over
:21:03. > :21:08.Donegal Celtic. I thought our own players stood up and were counted.
:21:08. > :21:13.They won the right to play and I thought they played some excellent
:21:13. > :21:17.football and deservedly took the three pounds. Portadown are in
:21:17. > :21:25.second place, just two points adrift. Kevin grammar scored twice
:21:25. > :21:31.in the 3-0 win against Dungannon Swifts. Glentoran are the Labour's
:21:31. > :21:38.top scorers. Two more on Saturday earned them a victory against
:21:38. > :21:44.Glenavon. It was very important that we got back to winning ways.
:21:44. > :21:48.We didn't play too well but we have to start learning how to grind out
:21:48. > :21:51.results. Crusaders were the only team in the top five to drop points,
:21:51. > :21:54.they drew 1-1 with Lisburn Distillery.
:21:54. > :21:56.Northern Ireland's women's football team had their best ever result on
:21:56. > :21:59.Saturday, beating former world champions Norway 3-1 in the
:21:59. > :22:08.European Championship qualifier at Mourneview Park. Next they face
:22:08. > :22:12.Hungary away on Wednesday. It was never going to be easy but
:22:12. > :22:15.after losing to Leicester, Ulster are going to have to win all their
:22:15. > :22:20.remaining games if they are to qualify for the knockout stages of
:22:20. > :22:24.the Heineken Cup. Ulster lost by 20-9.
:22:24. > :22:30.The look on the Leicester coach's fierce pre-match suggested what was
:22:30. > :22:38.to come from his team. But it was Ian Humphreys who gave Ulster some
:22:38. > :22:48.early momentum. Stephen Ferris was that his physical best and with Ian
:22:48. > :22:48.
:22:48. > :22:53.Humphreys on form with the bit, any Leicester mistake was penalised.
:22:53. > :23:02.But the home side always looked dangerous. This run summed up their
:23:02. > :23:07.threat. Ulster were in contention with 15 minutes to go but when they
:23:07. > :23:16.gifted Leicester possession, to be flood created the only try of the

:23:19. > :23:25.penalty was knocked over in the last kick of the game to seal the
:23:25. > :23:30.win for Leicester. Ulster will play an Italian side home and away
:23:30. > :23:34.before Christmas. Two winds and they are still very much in
:23:34. > :23:37.contention for poll for. He has ridden over 13,000 races,
:23:37. > :23:40.the equivalent of 1 1/4 times around the earth and had nearly 700
:23:40. > :23:47.falls in that time but jockey Tony McCoy has told BBC Newsline that he
:23:47. > :23:55.has no plans to retire. He has won just about everything there is to
:23:55. > :23:59.win in racing but he is not about to hang up his whip yet.
:23:59. > :24:03.It is obviously getting closer but I am lucky in that I enjoy what I'm
:24:03. > :24:06.doing and I have always enjoyed it. I am probably enjoying it more now
:24:06. > :24:12.than I ever have done. I have never really thought about it but all
:24:12. > :24:16.sportsmen, we'll have time limits and I'm sure that at some point,
:24:16. > :24:20.mine will come sooner rather than later. But I'm still enjoying it, I
:24:20. > :24:22.still love what we do and why I am doing that, I will continue for a
:24:22. > :24:25.bit longer. Burren will make their first
:24:25. > :24:28.appearance in an Ulster Gaelic football club final for 19 years.

:24:39. > :24:42.final and now face the current All Ireland champions in the decider.
:24:42. > :24:52.Yesterday's semi-final was a tight affair but there was a sense that
:24:52. > :24:53.
:24:53. > :24:57.Burren had that little bit extra. The rest of the team followed.
:24:57. > :25:05.Three pounds inside the opening six minutes of the second half giving
:25:05. > :25:09.the Down champions that will bit of breathing space. And a place in
:25:09. > :25:18.next Sunday's final against the team that knocked them out of last
:25:18. > :25:23.year's also championship, Crossmaglen. We got there it need
:25:23. > :25:29.and we build on that but Latton came into its strong and we're
:25:29. > :25:34.under no illusions. It was a tight winning game. Can you defeat
:25:34. > :25:40.Crossmaglen? Yes, we can beat Crossmaglen. It is going to be a
:25:40. > :25:46.tough job, is going to be a tough job for them to beat us. Burren
:25:46. > :25:48.will appeal this late red card for this challenge. They will hope he
:25:48. > :25:51.will be available for Sunday's final.
:25:51. > :25:54.Lisnaskea Emmets Ladies team who we featured on Friday's programme won
:25:54. > :25:58.the All Ireland intermediate club final yesterday. Caroline Little,
:25:58. > :26:04.sister of the manager, scored the only goal of the game in one 10 to
:26:04. > :26:07.12 points victory. Well done to them.
:26:07. > :26:17.Peter Canavan is expected to be confirmed as Fermanagh gaelic
:26:17. > :26:21.
:26:21. > :26:24.football manager later tonight. It hasn't been too bad a start to
:26:25. > :26:27.the new week. It has turned cloudier but we had a hint of
:26:28. > :26:35.sunshine first thing this morning. This was a picture just a short
:26:35. > :26:39.time ago, you can see the cloud pushing up northwards. The rain
:26:39. > :26:43.will become widespread for a while as we go through this evening and
:26:43. > :26:48.overnight but eventually clearing out towards the Irish Sea, turning
:26:48. > :26:53.drier behind that. For parts of Tyrone and Fermanagh, a very cool
:26:53. > :27:00.night at one or two degrees. Further east under that cloud cover,
:27:00. > :27:04.not quite as cold, between three and five degrees. Some fog
:27:04. > :27:08.developing overnight and some of that maybe slow to clear up first
:27:08. > :27:13.thing tomorrow but after that, we are looking at a decent day, dry
:27:13. > :27:16.and sunny. Some of that fog lingering at parts of Fermanagh but
:27:16. > :27:20.quickly burning oven that sunshine and that sets the picture for the
:27:20. > :27:23.day. Plenty of sunshine, perfect conditions for getting out and
:27:23. > :27:27.about and those winds tomorrow will be fairly light as well.
:27:27. > :27:34.Temperatures may be down a little on today but still, neither ten
:27:34. > :27:39.degrees, above average for the time of year. Not much changes in the
:27:39. > :27:45.second part of the day. The cloud will begin to roll in from the West
:27:45. > :27:51.during the afternoon. Into tomorrow evening, it becomes more fresh and
:27:51. > :27:55.the winds pick up. We will see rain edging its way in as we go through
:27:55. > :27:58.Wednesday. Not as cold tomorrow night and then on Wednesday,
