:00:17. > :00:27.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Noel Thompson and Donna
:00:27. > :00:29.
:00:29. > :00:32.Traynor. The headlines this Monday evening.
:00:32. > :00:35.The Belfast Health Trust is investigating the death of the
:00:35. > :00:37.second patient on a trolley in accident and emergency.
:00:37. > :00:39.The parents calling for this priest to be suspended over indecent
:00:39. > :00:42.photos. Why the new Ulster Unionist leader
:00:42. > :00:44.wants to find out what it's like to live in a deprived area.
:00:44. > :00:49.Titanic take off - the new businesses that have taken up
:00:49. > :00:54.residence in the regenerated docks area.
:00:54. > :00:57.A major sporting week begins with the return of a familiar Cup to
:00:58. > :01:00.Crossmaglen. And over the next couple of days
:01:00. > :01:10.there'll be a touch of winter in our weather - it all starts
:01:10. > :01:11.
:01:11. > :01:14.tomorrow morning, join me later. The BBC understands that the
:01:14. > :01:18.Belfast Health Trust is investigating the death of the
:01:18. > :01:23.second patient in the Royal Victoria Hospital. The Trust this
:01:23. > :01:25.afternoon by the family of the man who died at accident and emergency
:01:25. > :01:32.last month and said that they accepted that something went
:01:32. > :01:36.terribly wrong for. The family met representatives of
:01:36. > :01:39.the Belfast Health Trust of the city hospital including the medical
:01:40. > :01:44.director of Dr Tony Stephens. It was the first face-to-face meeting
:01:44. > :01:48.they had had both health chiefs and there were many questions on the
:01:48. > :01:54.agenda including why a post mortem was not conducted, why medical
:01:54. > :02:00.notes were not updated, was the department under staffed and one
:02:00. > :02:04.contact details were lost and the PSNI called to notified a patient's
:02:04. > :02:09.partner. And where there was contact -- where there was
:02:09. > :02:13.confusion over the time of death. The BBC also understands the
:02:13. > :02:18.investigation will include the death of a female patient in
:02:18. > :02:21.January. The team will establish what happened leading up to the
:02:21. > :02:26.death of each patient, how care was delivered at house staff
:02:26. > :02:32.communicated with each other. The family of the dead man say they are
:02:32. > :02:38.not entirely happy with the investigation. Their local MLA is
:02:38. > :02:43.speaking on their behalf. independent inquiry is made up from
:02:44. > :02:49.people from different health Trusts and they tend to know each other.
:02:49. > :02:52.But I was assured that this would in no way influenced the inquiry
:02:52. > :02:57.and the team had in fact been chosen for their independent
:02:57. > :03:01.thinking. The Belfast Health Trust has agreed to the family's request
:03:01. > :03:05.to let them meet some of the medical staff including the nurses
:03:05. > :03:10.who were working in the excellent and emergency department the like
:03:10. > :03:14.their father died. He lay on a trolley for almost 24 hours whilst
:03:14. > :03:18.attempts were made to find him a bed. It will be an emotional
:03:18. > :03:24.occasion for the family but I can assure them that the family are
:03:24. > :03:30.entirely genuine. They do not want to criticise them, they want to
:03:30. > :03:35.praise them? Absolutely. The what the system changed. According to
:03:35. > :03:39.the family it is a tragedy that it took the death of their father to
:03:39. > :03:44.prompt corrections to the ongoing crisis in accident and emergency.
:03:44. > :03:48.They say the problems must be fixed and soon or their father's death
:03:48. > :03:51.would have been in vain. Parents who were inadvertently
:03:51. > :03:56.shown pornographic images by a priest are calling for him to be
:03:56. > :03:58.suspended. It happened during a meeting in a primary school in
:03:58. > :04:08.Pomeroy about the childrens' First Communion - an 8-year-old boy was
:04:08. > :04:11.
:04:11. > :04:15.also present. What happened here last week is now
:04:16. > :04:19.the subject of a church investigation. Parents claim that
:04:19. > :04:24.during a presentation by the parish priest, around 16 explicit images
:04:24. > :04:29.of men were shown on the screen. They said when the images appeared,
:04:29. > :04:32.the priest became flustered and quickly left the room. Father
:04:32. > :04:36.Martin McVeigh said he was shocked at the sexual images and claimed
:04:36. > :04:40.that others had been using the memory stick which there were
:04:40. > :04:44.stored on. On the did not serve Mass on Sunday, he has not been
:04:44. > :04:48.told to step aside from his duties. In a statement the head of the
:04:48. > :04:51.Catholic Church in Ireland said that Father Martin McVeigh claimed
:04:51. > :04:55.he had no knowledge of the offending imagery. Sean Brady said
:04:55. > :05:00.the police were contacted and they said no crime had been committed.
:05:00. > :05:04.He added that father Martian Myddfai is co-operating with the
:05:04. > :05:10.investigation by the Church. Parents are due to meet again this
:05:10. > :05:15.week amid uncertainty over the parish priest's position as Easter
:05:15. > :05:19.approaches. The new Ulster Unionist leader Mike
:05:19. > :05:25.Nesbitt has begun to make arrangements to stay with a family
:05:25. > :05:31.in a deprived area to experience their day-to-day problems. Mr Les
:05:31. > :05:37.but won the leadership at the weekend. Here is our political
:05:37. > :05:41.editor. Less than 24 hours after the Ulster Unionists adopted him as
:05:41. > :05:45.their new leader, Mike Nesbitt was putting himself up for a different
:05:45. > :05:53.kind of adoption - this time he was looking not for political home but
:05:53. > :05:58.a real home. What I need to do is go and find a family to stay with
:05:58. > :06:02.for 24 hours, in an area of social deprivation. The new leader's
:06:02. > :06:08.opponents immediately accused him of pulling a stamped. I think
:06:08. > :06:13.everyone has been struck by the crassness and condescension of him
:06:13. > :06:17.suggesting that 24 hours would give him any grasp of what the problems
:06:17. > :06:27.would be up that people are going through. In Newtownards were my
:06:27. > :06:28.
:06:28. > :06:36.best bit is a local MLA, opinions were divided. It is a good idea.
:06:36. > :06:43.think it is a disgrace. There's no one impoverished nowadays. Among
:06:43. > :06:47.them did Donald could not be described as a fan for a start he
:06:47. > :06:50.has a cheek because he has not come near this estate. Despite that the
:06:50. > :06:55.care worker will welcome the new media as a guest in her home
:06:55. > :07:00.although he might be taken aback by how she intends to greet him.
:07:00. > :07:05.your finger out and do something, it is about time something was done
:07:05. > :07:11.before it hits rock bottom. And it is heading that way if something is
:07:11. > :07:16.not done for our area. On the BBC airwaves Mike Nesbitt
:07:16. > :07:21.was getting some equally blunt messages. This morning I had to
:07:21. > :07:26.choose between buying milk and paying for dinner money for my
:07:26. > :07:34.daughter. On Talkback he was coming down with invitations, making the
:07:34. > :07:40.programme feel a bit like a political edition of Blind Date.
:07:40. > :07:49.Do you want to spend time with me, you can choose the day. Let us
:07:49. > :07:53.figure it out. Mike Nesbitt is not the first
:07:53. > :07:56.politician to try to get a feel for how the other half lives. The
:07:56. > :08:01.former Conservative minister Michael Portillo swap lives with
:08:01. > :08:05.the single mother for a television programme almost a decade ago.
:08:05. > :08:09.Unlike Michael Portillo's experiment, like the mess that is
:08:09. > :08:14.making it clear he does not want his 24 hour experience of
:08:14. > :08:20.deprivation to be recorded on camera.
:08:20. > :08:30.There has been a lot of reaction to that plant on a Facebook site.
:08:30. > :08:41.
:08:41. > :08:46.Still to come on the programme. How successful was it? The latest from
:08:47. > :08:56.renewed Titanic Belfast visitors' centre. And victory for Crossmaglen
:08:57. > :08:57.
:08:57. > :09:02.again in the All Ireland final. Many small rural schools are facing
:09:02. > :09:06.the axe but could cross-border partnerships offer a way of keeping
:09:06. > :09:10.some of them open? The Department of Education of Belfast and Dublin
:09:10. > :09:14.are to seek the opinions of those living around the border to see if
:09:14. > :09:24.they would like more Corporation. One school is St Mary's near
:09:24. > :09:24.
:09:24. > :09:28.Belleek. With just 132 pupils, at St Mary's
:09:28. > :09:34.is one of the smallest secondary schools in Northern Ireland. Just a
:09:34. > :09:37.few miles from the Donegal border. A review carried out by the
:09:37. > :09:42.Commission on Catholic education has recommended that the school be
:09:42. > :09:46.closed. They say it is just too few pupils, does not teaching of
:09:46. > :09:49.subjects and is financially unsustainable. The three-month
:09:49. > :09:53.consultation on the closure has begun today. If it closes, pupils
:09:53. > :09:58.would have to be bused more than 20 miles away to a school in
:09:58. > :10:02.Enniskillen. We would like the opportunity not to lose the heart
:10:02. > :10:09.of our community and the children themselves. The current proposal
:10:09. > :10:12.would mean children travelling for in excess of an hour in the morning
:10:12. > :10:17.and in the evening. We feel there must be a better way. Could the
:10:17. > :10:22.answer to the problems lie just down the road across the border?
:10:22. > :10:26.One of the schools that St Mary's hopes to link with his in Bonn
:10:26. > :10:28.Doran. It was closed today for Easter and different school
:10:28. > :10:34.holidays are just one of the practical barriers that have to be
:10:34. > :10:44.overcome. There are challenges with two different systems. Of and to us
:10:44. > :10:47.
:10:47. > :10:51.looking at the age that children's new terms start of. A group
:10:51. > :10:54.fighting to keep the school open is made up of both Catholic and
:10:55. > :11:00.Protestant parents. And the cross- border links are being supported by
:11:00. > :11:08.both communities. We want this to be a long-term solution and I think
:11:08. > :11:13.cross-border is the way to go. Donegal is our natural hinterland.
:11:13. > :11:18.There is already a North South Corporation in health and
:11:18. > :11:22.university education. The education minister says if there is demand,
:11:22. > :11:28.new cross-border arrangements for schools could be in place by
:11:28. > :11:33.September of next year. Renewed Titanic visitor attractions
:11:33. > :11:37.sold out of tickets today according to the operators. More than 11,000
:11:37. > :11:42.people have toured the complex in the past three days. It opened at
:11:42. > :11:49.midday on Saturday to the sound of trumpets. But once they got inside,
:11:49. > :11:55.what did the visitors think? It was a bright beginning fought a
:11:55. > :12:02.glimmering �77 million project. The public opening was a fanfare
:12:02. > :12:08.occasion. We did it, up on time and on budget! I am delighted.
:12:08. > :12:13.guest of honour was Cyril Quigley, now aged 105, but who as a four-
:12:13. > :12:18.year-old boy I saw the Titanic launched in 1911. The crowds to
:12:18. > :12:23.watch the ceremony on Saturday were soon queuing up for admission.
:12:23. > :12:28.architecture is amazing and the excitement round here is one of in
:12:29. > :12:34.a lifetime. I'm glad that they put it as close as they could to the
:12:34. > :12:40.doctor. It has lifted Belfast into a new place because we had so many
:12:40. > :12:48.years of bad press. Just bringing back the importance of it all, the
:12:48. > :12:54.people who died. And it is also bringing tourism to the area as
:12:54. > :12:58.well which we desperately need. Titanic Belfast needs to attract
:12:58. > :13:03.around 300,000 visitors annually simply to break even. If it gets
:13:03. > :13:07.those kinds of numbers, it will rank amongst the most popular of
:13:07. > :13:12.Northern Ireland's tourist attractions. A charity event with
:13:12. > :13:17.participants in a shipyard style caps swell the visitor numbers on
:13:17. > :13:22.Sunday but many of the attractions customers came from further afield
:13:22. > :13:25.and they liked what they find on. It was amazing when you went
:13:25. > :13:31.through to the part where they found the bodies and wear
:13:31. > :13:33.identifying them, how silent everyone was and the end of the of
:13:34. > :13:40.the people who were there with the people who had been lost was
:13:40. > :13:48.fantastic. It is amazing, I'm crazy about the Titanic story. I was
:13:48. > :13:54.moved by it when I was a child. It is my first time coming to Belfast
:13:54. > :13:59.and I'm so lucky. Titanic Belfast said that today was a sell-out of
:13:59. > :14:06.all 5500 tickets and that 60% of those tickets sold were two people
:14:06. > :14:10.from outside of Northern Ireland. Well when the tetanic liner was
:14:10. > :14:14.launched 100 years ago, Belfast was known across the world as an
:14:15. > :14:20.industrial powerhouse. There had the largest shipyard, the largest
:14:20. > :14:23.roadworks and was a major exporter of linen and tobacco products.
:14:23. > :14:27.Those old industries may be gone but in their place you ones are
:14:27. > :14:34.emerging. Our Business Editor reports on the nude Titanic economy
:14:34. > :14:38.for a top it is a while since I played this game but for these guys,
:14:38. > :14:42.this is not play time but work. A century gold the men of working
:14:42. > :14:48.here but the Titanic but today they are building augmented reality
:14:48. > :14:52.tours. The Northern Ireland science park sits on a 25 acre site within
:14:52. > :14:58.the Titanic Quarter and his home to a mixture of 100 high-tech
:14:58. > :15:00.companies, some large but many small who want to be bigger one day.
:15:00. > :15:08.They seek an evolution from shipbuilding to software
:15:08. > :15:14.development. The Titanic was amazing technology in its day. The
:15:14. > :15:18.technology behind it was fantastic. And that entrepreneurial and
:15:18. > :15:24.engineering Jean lives on. At a time when we built the biggest
:15:24. > :15:29.ships in the world and exported things, the exports going out of
:15:29. > :15:38.the science park are amazing. Everything goes out over the Nat
:15:39. > :15:44.work. Nearby Beales Harland and Wolf Hall is now a movie studio.
:15:44. > :15:54.This is big money for the Northern Ireland economy. It injects a huge
:15:54. > :15:55.
:15:55. > :16:00.level of cash into the economy very quickly. That is a lot of money at
:16:00. > :16:09.any time. It is as substantial amount of money at the heart of a
:16:09. > :16:13.at the same show. -- of where recession.
:16:13. > :16:21.We have Lydia production and creativity causes, also a fashion
:16:21. > :16:25.courses on offer at the Belfast Metropolitan College. The pump
:16:25. > :16:30.house here was absolutely state of the art in its day. It could empty
:16:30. > :16:33.the Thomson Dhokia in record time. And these would win it marvels of
:16:33. > :16:37.engineering build with massive investment by the Belfast Harbour
:16:38. > :16:40.Commissioners to encourage the latest in shipbuilding. The harbour
:16:40. > :16:44.commissioners today are making similar investments in order to
:16:45. > :16:51.promote the new technologies of the 21st century. And here is their
:16:51. > :16:56.latest project - on an even bigger scale. This is the largest ever
:16:56. > :17:02.investment by the Belfast Harbour Commissioners, the development of a
:17:02. > :17:12.leak -- a logistics centre for offshore wind farms. That is one of
:17:12. > :17:13.
:17:13. > :17:18.the future emerging sectors. It is a �100 billion investment and this
:17:18. > :17:22.is our slice of the it. It seems that the new Titanic economy of
:17:22. > :17:28.Belfast is once again putting the city at the forefront of technology
:17:28. > :17:35.and innovation. Well we have created a special
:17:35. > :17:42.website focusing on all things Titanic. That is on the screen now.
:17:43. > :17:47.We're also on Twitter. In a moment we visit if a man as
:17:47. > :17:53.soccer club celebrating as track success. But first rare in Armagh
:17:53. > :17:58.up with a group of footballers well used to win in.
:17:58. > :18:03.Well the fans are behind me. Crossmaglen Rangers, All Ireland
:18:03. > :18:07.football club champions for the 6th time in the club's history. There
:18:07. > :18:13.used to success in this part of the world. The goalkeeper and team

:18:23. > :18:27.
:18:27. > :18:34.know of say we're used to it but it is a good feeling. You now have six
:18:34. > :18:41.All Ireland club man dolls. It is a great feeling. We are fortunate to
:18:41. > :18:46.be involved with it. But this probably eclipses everything we
:18:46. > :18:51.have done so far. It has been at a fantastic campaign and we are
:18:51. > :18:59.ecstatic. We can look at the key moments of the win and the
:18:59. > :19:04.celebrations. The scoreline told us it was a one-sided.
:19:04. > :19:10.Yes but a lot of effort went into the game. From the very first
:19:10. > :19:20.whistle and lot of effort went into getting us to that stage. It was
:19:20. > :19:21.
:19:21. > :19:29.great teamwork and movement. And a nice touch for you to lift the cup
:19:29. > :19:34.as well. And a nice touch in Crossmaglen yesterday. Antrim
:19:34. > :19:42.hurling join Duke for the celebrations?
:19:42. > :19:48.Yes they had a couple of drinks with us and the crack was mighty.
:19:48. > :19:53.It was brilliant. High times for football and hurling in Ulster
:19:53. > :19:56.right now. We will stay here for the rest of the sport in
:19:56. > :20:04.Crossmaglen receiving full of Crusaders are through to the semi-
:20:04. > :20:08.finals of the JJB Sports Irish Cup. This goal from David Rennie gave
:20:08. > :20:13.Crusaders 01 - nil win over Dungannon Swifts. It will be their
:20:13. > :20:17.third cup final appearance in four years. But even bigger soccer
:20:17. > :20:24.celebrations in County Fermanagh as Ballinamallard United are into the
:20:24. > :20:31.top division, the Carling Premiership, for the first time
:20:31. > :20:36.ever. This was the proudest day in the
:20:36. > :20:40.short history of Ballinamallard United. I always thought it was
:20:40. > :20:48.possible but probable, that was a different question altogether. But
:20:48. > :20:52.we have answered that now. After defeating Bangor 3 - 2,
:20:52. > :20:55.second placed Newry City lost to Limavady Utd insuring that aside
:20:55. > :21:04.from County Fermanagh would be represented in the top flight of
:21:04. > :21:08.local football for the first time. Andy Little scored last week in
:21:08. > :21:11.Scottish League, Kyle Lafferty, guys have left Fermanagh and this
:21:11. > :21:16.is now up the opportunity for Fermanagh to showcase the talent
:21:16. > :21:21.that is in the county of the moment. It is a big area for soccer and a
:21:22. > :21:28.great opportunity. Having done the job on the pitch, Ballinamallard's
:21:29. > :21:34.next Challenge is to ensure that the part is ready to welcome the
:21:34. > :21:38.big boys next season. Exciting times ahead. And here is a
:21:38. > :21:45.side that no Ulster rugby supporter wanted to see - Stephen Ferris When
:21:45. > :21:52.the off during the team's win in the pro 12 at the weekend. A scan
:21:52. > :21:57.today has revealed that he has suffered serious ankle and ligament
:21:57. > :22:02.damage and is rated as doubtful for the big game on Sunday when Ulster
:22:02. > :22:06.take on Munster in the Heineken Cup quarter-final. Undoubtedly they
:22:06. > :22:11.will be tougher opposition than the Italian us. It will certainly be a
:22:11. > :22:14.different game in Munster, there's no doubt about that. We go down
:22:14. > :22:21.their positive and full of confidence, knowing we have put a
:22:21. > :22:26.good run together. We will have to be tighter in certain areas. Maybe
:22:26. > :22:30.at times our defence looked a bit suspect. If we will not be able to
:22:30. > :22:35.get away with those things next week. Well next a look at some of
:22:35. > :22:40.the key sporting performances elsewhere, starting with a lucky
:22:40. > :22:45.escape for one of our motor cyclists. This is the on-board
:22:45. > :22:53.camera on the bike of Jonathan Rea going overboard during qualifying
:22:53. > :22:57.for the World Superbike. Somehow the rider walked away from his
:22:57. > :23:04.accident without serious injury. But he came close to coming off
:23:04. > :23:10.again during racing proper as he touched bikes with Eugene Laverty.
:23:10. > :23:14.There was a top-three finish for another competitor on two wheels -
:23:14. > :23:24.Amy mother-son that dapper and fending qualification for London
:23:24. > :23:26.
