:00:15. > :00:22.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Donna Traynor and Noel
:00:22. > :00:25.Thompson. Good evening. Our main news:
:00:25. > :00:27.Alex Attwood gives the go ahead to the �100 million Runkerry golf
:00:27. > :00:32.development near the Giant's Causeway, the developer promises
:00:32. > :00:41.hundreds of new jobs. The National Trust and Friends of the Earth say
:00:41. > :00:44.they have big concerns about the potential environmental impact.
:00:44. > :00:54.What other country would allow its national treasures to be desecrated
:00:54. > :00:55.
:00:55. > :00:58.in that way? Also on the programme this Tuesday
:00:58. > :01:00.evening. Organ donation. The Assembly wants to consider a scheme
:01:00. > :01:02.that includes everyone unless you opt out.
:01:02. > :01:05.Not so easy rider. Big changes for learner bikers.
:01:05. > :01:07.We'll meet the Premier League footballer who's celebrating his
:01:07. > :01:10.international call-up at home. And the temperatures are set to go
:01:10. > :01:20.even higher on Wednesday, but you will want to keep the umbrella

:01:26. > :01:31.You join me in the Bushmills Hotel where the green light has been
:01:31. > :01:37.given to a �100 million hotel and golf complex on the north coast in
:01:37. > :01:42.the face of strong environmental objections. This complex will sit
:01:42. > :01:46.about one mile from the Causeway, Northern Ireland's only World
:01:46. > :01:51.Heritage Site. Alex Attwood said he thought long and hard about it but
:01:51. > :02:01.he came down in favour of it. He said it would make Northern Ireland
:02:01. > :02:03.
:02:03. > :02:06.a forefront holiday destination and give a boost to the local of --
:02:06. > :02:13.economy. This is one of Alex Attwood's
:02:13. > :02:18.biggest decisions of his career. He faced strong opposition. The coast
:02:18. > :02:22.needs to be developed. The golfing product that we have needs to be
:02:22. > :02:27.developed. This decision allows that to happen. It allows it to
:02:27. > :02:30.happen in a way that is absolutely sympathetic to all the heritage and
:02:30. > :02:37.environmental standards that we have to uphold because it is part
:02:37. > :02:42.of the quality and character of our tourist economy going forward.
:02:42. > :02:45.five-star hotel, golf academy and 75 villas as well as a golf course
:02:45. > :02:50.and a conference centre have all been given the green light. This
:02:50. > :02:55.will be the first purpose-built golf course in almost 100 years. I
:02:56. > :03:02.will be standing around the 10th tee. The entire course will cover
:03:02. > :03:06.365 acres. The proposed development aims to attract high end, high
:03:06. > :03:10.spending golf tourists from around the globe. The give tourists the
:03:10. > :03:15.opportunity to come and spend time on the north coast and play on our
:03:15. > :03:19.new links course and the other links course is in the area and to
:03:19. > :03:23.visit the distillery and the other attractions in the area. We are
:03:23. > :03:28.very excited about the possibility of providing something of world-
:03:28. > :03:33.class standing. At a near by course there was excitement at the thought
:03:33. > :03:37.of a golfer's village being built next door. With accommodation the
:03:37. > :03:40.hearers will it will entice people to stay. Apart from the employment
:03:40. > :03:45.it will bring, it is additional revenue into the area which
:03:45. > :03:50.everyone will welcome. It will be an added attraction to the north
:03:50. > :03:54.coast. The local MP it welcomed the decision. This shows the turn of
:03:54. > :03:59.the page. We are seeing a dip -- we are seeing a vision and believing
:03:59. > :04:09.in it and starting to deliver. It is very important. Developers begin
:04:09. > :04:16.
:04:16. > :04:18.work soon. Well the man leading the project is
:04:18. > :04:21.the US-based management consultant Dr Alistair Hanna, who's originally
:04:21. > :04:24.from east Belfast. He wasn't at today's event in Bushmills, but
:04:24. > :04:27.Kevin Magee met him a couple of days ago in Belfast, and asked him
:04:27. > :04:29.why he thought the business would succeed. We would like to think it
:04:30. > :04:34.is a world-class facility that can compete with the likes of Celtic
:04:34. > :04:38.Manor, Turnberry and up in the same sort of character as Gleneagles.
:04:38. > :04:43.Are you sure there is a market for this? There is absolutely Haymarket
:04:43. > :04:48.for the best. In today's world the best is still selling very well.
:04:48. > :04:54.The mediocre is not doing well at all. You have got to position this
:04:54. > :04:58.as being one of the best in the world. We believe that with
:04:58. > :05:05.Bushmills Dunes Golf Resort and Spa, Port Rush, Port Stewart and Castle
:05:05. > :05:10.Rock, we will have four world-class links golf courses within half-an-
:05:10. > :05:17.hour of each other. There is nowhere else in the world where you
:05:17. > :05:21.can offer that except perhaps St Andrews. Another one is currently
:05:21. > :05:25.in administration. It is not a links course. It is a long way away
:05:25. > :05:31.from it does suffer competitively in that sense. How much will the
:05:31. > :05:36.project cost? If we pray sit in today's costs it will be somewhere
:05:36. > :05:41.around �100 million to build the whole thing. It is a lot of money.
:05:41. > :05:47.Do you have the Resources to go ahead? I have an investment banker
:05:47. > :05:53.standing by ready to go as soon as I give him the word. We will raise
:05:53. > :05:57.the money. He tells me because of the uniqueness of this piece of
:05:57. > :06:02.land and because of the property that we will have, the money will
:06:02. > :06:07.be forthcoming. The National Trust are opposed to this scheme. Will it
:06:07. > :06:11.affect the integrity of the Giant's Causeway? We have been very
:06:11. > :06:15.sensitive to the positioning of the buildings and a height of the
:06:15. > :06:18.buildings and the buildings will have grass roofs. We have done a
:06:18. > :06:25.lot of stuff to make this very environmentally sensitive. We
:06:25. > :06:30.actually believe this project will help the area as a World Heritage
:06:30. > :06:33.Site because what is a world heritage site for? It is to attract
:06:33. > :06:41.visitors. We will have a facility that will make it much more
:06:41. > :06:45.pleasant and enjoyable for visitors to come. Too many visitors come to
:06:45. > :06:51.this area come for one day and leave and we want to give the
:06:51. > :06:56.visitors a reason to stay and spend money. Not everyone is happy. One
:06:56. > :06:59.environmentalists said it was like building a Burger Bar at the Taj
:06:59. > :07:04.Mahal. Environment Minister says he has worked hard to smooth that all
:07:04. > :07:07.the problems that cannot to co- exist beside each other? And
:07:07. > :07:11.Environment Correspondent has been looking at the implications.
:07:11. > :07:15.It is not just the Giants Causeway the planners have to consider, the
:07:15. > :07:22.development is alongside an area of special scientific interest,
:07:22. > :07:28.Runkerry beach. These sand dunes behind me are where they will build
:07:28. > :07:34.the golf course. Digging will take place between March and August --
:07:34. > :07:38.no digging would take place to protect the birds. Badgers also
:07:38. > :07:43.have to be protected. There are also rivers and critical habitats
:07:43. > :07:48.including rare wild far -- flat was which may have to be moved in some
:07:48. > :07:54.cases. Even that is not enough to convince everybody it is a good
:07:54. > :07:57.idea. I am completely flabbergasted by the decision. We have a national
:07:57. > :08:02.treasure. The Giant's Causeway belongs to us all. It is the only
:08:02. > :08:07.World Heritage Site. It is a site of international which is protected
:08:07. > :08:10.and the buffer zones around the dark protected by many different
:08:10. > :08:16.planning policies and yet we have a decision by the Minister today
:08:16. > :08:21.which is quite unfathomable. He has improved what -- he has approved a
:08:21. > :08:25.huge holiday resort within breathing distance of the Giant's
:08:25. > :08:27.Causeway. Most concern is about the visual effect it will have on the
:08:27. > :08:31.Giant's Causeway. The National Trust cellaret they are
:08:31. > :08:41.disappointed by the decision. But they have not given any interviews.
:08:41. > :09:02.
:09:02. > :09:05.A lot of people we have spoken to seem genuinely shocked by today's
:09:05. > :09:12.decision. They thought that given all the planning protection this
:09:12. > :09:17.site had that nothing would be built here.
:09:17. > :09:21.I am joined by it someone from a resident group who is opposed to
:09:21. > :09:26.this development. Surely it is possible to work is so that both
:09:26. > :09:30.sides can be happy? One would think so. Unfortunately there are
:09:30. > :09:38.planning policies here which seemed to have been brushed aside to
:09:38. > :09:43.achieve this. That is our concern. There is a policy which states that
:09:43. > :09:48.there can only be modest scale development without a landscape
:09:48. > :09:54.detriment in this area. If I were householder in that area, I would
:09:54. > :09:58.be limited to only 20% extension, 20% of the cubic capacity of my
:09:58. > :10:04.house and yet here is the developer coming and there seems to be able
:10:04. > :10:08.to get away with 75 houses and a hotel and everything else. But this
:10:08. > :10:15.does include two lovely parkland golf courses and golf courses can
:10:15. > :10:19.be quite nice. Surely it is more than one mile from beam Causeway,
:10:20. > :10:23.surely that two can consist -- co- exist peacefully. It is still
:10:23. > :10:29.within the landscape setting of the causeway which is very heavily
:10:29. > :10:31.protected by environmental protection. It is an area of
:10:31. > :10:41.outstanding beauty and a distinctive landscape setting as
:10:41. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:44.defined by the World Heritage Site. Also it is in areas that give it
:10:45. > :10:48.additional protection and people around have find it quite
:10:48. > :10:52.horrifying because they did not think it was possible that a
:10:52. > :10:56.development of this scale could take place. It is not so much the
:10:56. > :11:01.golf course, but what we are concerned about is the amount of
:11:01. > :11:05.building concerned. Not everyone is horrified. They could be 300 jobs
:11:05. > :11:09.and as complex as well as the jobs involved in building up. Those jobs
:11:09. > :11:13.are badly needed. I quite agree that jobs are badly needed in this
:11:13. > :11:18.area and I understand that. I understand that there are strong
:11:18. > :11:21.economic arguments for this. Our view is that if you drive a coach
:11:21. > :11:25.and horses through the environmental protection, it does
:11:25. > :11:29.not stop there. It sets a precedent for the future and more damage
:11:30. > :11:34.could be done. This post has suffered a lot of damage from the
:11:34. > :11:38.wrong kind of development in the last few years. We feel it is
:11:38. > :11:43.essential that environmental protection should remain in place.
:11:43. > :11:53.This development could bring jobs but it is hypothetical. Thank you
:11:53. > :11:55.
:11:55. > :11:58.very much. Just before I leave you here in
:11:58. > :12:01.Bushmills, Ian Paisley Junior who we heard from earlier, also spoke
:12:01. > :12:03.today about how his father, the former first minister, is making

:12:06. > :12:09.those who'd sent messages of support to his family. That is
:12:09. > :12:12.making a good recovery but he has been a sick man. He is making a
:12:12. > :12:15.good and steady recovery and I am very hopeful for him. I would like
:12:15. > :12:19.to thank all the staff at the hospital to have been fantastic. I
:12:19. > :12:23.have sat with other patients there and other families of patients and

:21:25. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:29.manage four games in as many weeks. It feels like frustrations against
:21:29. > :21:35.Wales have kicked on a little bit and we have not have the chance to
:21:35. > :21:41.get out and put that right. We are hoping that preparation is going
:21:41. > :21:48.the way that that frustration will lead to make sure that the we are
:21:48. > :21:55.100% right. When you play Italy physically, if you are not mentally
:21:55. > :22:02.and physically there,... We need to get the full it so -- physicality
:22:02. > :22:06.right and the that bit more hungry. Whoever wants it more, generally
:22:06. > :22:11.wins the game. It took a Ronan O'Gara dropped goal to prevent a
:22:11. > :22:16.shop Italian when last year. Irish fans will be hoping this last gaps

:22:28. > :22:34.established in the Sunderland first-team, has just earned a first
:22:34. > :22:38.call-up to the Republic of Ireland squad. Back in the glare of the
:22:38. > :22:43.media, James McLean has come a long way since making his Irish league
:22:43. > :22:48.debut as the 16 eight for Glentoran. He would blossom at the Brandywell
:22:48. > :22:53.and has since gone on to dazzle in Sunderland. He is still only 22 and
:22:53. > :22:58.is now set to perform on the international stage. I am over the
:22:58. > :23:03.moon. It has been a dream of mine since no age. It is the biggest
:23:03. > :23:09.honour you can get to represent your country. You get the call, I
:23:09. > :23:12.am over the main. He has been here before. He played at under-age
:23:12. > :23:16.level in the green jersey for Northern Ireland and was also
:23:16. > :23:25.called into the senior squad. As for the subsequent fall-out and
:23:25. > :23:33.controversy, he says he has no regrets. My dream was always to
:23:33. > :23:37.play for Ireland. I am over the main. Hit has been well publicised
:23:37. > :23:41.the Northern Ireland thing, but my mind was made up from my started
:23:41. > :23:45.playing football, that my dream is to play for the Republic. That
:23:45. > :23:53.dream is on the verge of becoming football reality and like his new-
:23:53. > :23:55.found celebrity, James McLean will take it all in his stride.
:23:55. > :24:00.Michael O'Neill is exploring whether the Dutch-based Japanese
:24:00. > :24:03.player Robert Cullen might be prepared to make himself available
:24:03. > :24:11.to the Northern Ireland team. He has a Northern Irish Babb and is
:24:11. > :24:15.for the Dutch side Venlo. Some of our native wildlife is
:24:15. > :24:19.being wiped out by foreign invaders. Scientists at Queen's University
:24:19. > :24:22.say that species like the wood mouse, pygmy shrew were under
:24:22. > :24:31.threat and they are calling on the authorities in Belfast and Dublin
:24:31. > :24:35.to do something about it. It is a beautifully calm afternoon by the
:24:35. > :24:40.River Lagan in South Belfast. Amidst the silence, a destructive
:24:40. > :24:44.invasion is causing havoc. It is happening in vegetation like this,
:24:44. > :24:49.native animals are coming under threat from creatures from overseas.
:24:49. > :24:55.The invasive species, assigned us call them, have often been brought
:24:56. > :25:00.here by accident in the last century or so. The damage to
:25:00. > :25:05.Habitat... We have had to come here to the Ulster Museum to see a wood
:25:05. > :25:09.mouse and a pygmies true, because they're so hard to find in the wide.
:25:09. > :25:14.They are now becoming more difficult to spot, because of this
:25:14. > :25:18.foreign invader, the Bank Gold. Another invasive species, the
:25:18. > :25:23.greater weight to fit Shrew has also had a negative effect on
:25:23. > :25:29.native animals. In areas were both these species are pleasant, the
:25:29. > :25:32.pygmy shrew has disappeared. This scientists made the discovery and
:25:32. > :25:36.says ministers in Stormont and Dublin must do something. We have
:25:36. > :25:41.got to be prepared to manage the system, either by directly
:25:41. > :25:47.interfering, sometimes removing species that have come end, which
:25:47. > :25:52.are not welcome, or alternatively providing more of the kind of
:25:52. > :25:56.habitat -- habitat small rodents like to live in. Ecologists say the
:25:56. > :26:03.defenders have to be defeated are us we will be hard pushed find
