:00:18. > :00:23.The story dominating the news tonight: The deaths of a father and
:00:23. > :00:27.his two sons. A tragedy that has devastated a family and hit the
:00:27. > :00:36.farming and rugby communities. I am in Ballynahinch where I've
:00:36. > :00:40.been getting the reaction of friends of the Spence family.
:00:40. > :00:44.Three members of the one family killed in a tragic accident - the
:00:44. > :00:47.impact on that one family is unimaginable. The deaths of farmer
:00:47. > :00:53.Noel Spence and his sons Graham and Nevin have also impacted across not
:00:53. > :00:57.only the farming community here but also the sporting community. Nevin,
:00:57. > :01:00.a rising star of Ulster and Irish rugby, died along with his father
:01:00. > :01:07.and brother after being overcome by fumes at a slurry pit on the family
:01:07. > :01:17.farm in Hillsborough. His sister Emma was also involved in the
:01:17. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :01:23.accident but was released from hospital last night.
:01:23. > :01:28.Three strong, healthy men. Killed in minutes at the place they called
:01:28. > :01:33.home. Father Noel Spence and his sons, Graham and Nevin. They had
:01:33. > :01:37.been spreading slurry all day. One line of inquiry was that a dog had
:01:37. > :01:42.gone into the slurry pit and perhaps they had gone in after it.
:01:42. > :01:48.Their sister Emma was also there. What happened next was devastating.
:01:48. > :01:53.At around 6:15pm, the three men were overcome by fumes and died.
:01:53. > :01:57.Emma has survived. She is an artist and last December, the BBC
:01:57. > :02:04.interviewed her on the farm. She had been working on a series of
:02:04. > :02:10.paintings featuring Ulster rugby players. We are all successful in
:02:10. > :02:16.my mum and dad's eyes. Nevin is in front of the camera a lot so it is
:02:16. > :02:25.a different form of doing your best. I remember his first match, he was
:02:25. > :02:31.playing a friendly and I thought to myself, at least he has got to
:02:31. > :02:35.where the Ulster shirt. Also there that day was Nevin he said he was
:02:35. > :02:42.very proud of his sister. I was pleasantly surprised, I wouldn't
:02:42. > :02:47.like to say I was delighted but it was very good. He said he loved his
:02:47. > :02:51.rugby. You are doing what you want to do and it keeps you out of a
:02:51. > :02:57.real job for a while. I am delighted to be doing something
:02:57. > :03:01.that a lot of people would love to do. At his local rugby club, and
:03:01. > :03:09.hence, their flag was at half-mast. Prayers have been said at the
:03:09. > :03:15.family's church. They were all very alike, all very decent. Very calm,
:03:15. > :03:20.gentle people. Hard-working, honest with a deep sense of family
:03:20. > :03:24.loyalties. Noel Spence and his four children all went to Dromore High
:03:25. > :03:30.School. The Prince of what they're just sock Nevin a few hours before
:03:30. > :03:34.the tragedy at a Dromore match. was walking past me and in his own
:03:34. > :03:40.style, he slapped me on the shoulder and said, where were you?
:03:40. > :03:44.I said, I have been standing here all this time, and as he walked on,
:03:44. > :03:49.he said, I will see you again soon. I can remember his blond hair in
:03:49. > :03:54.the wind and the big broad smile that he always wore. That is my
:03:54. > :04:00.last memory of him. Abaca condolence was opened at Ravenhill.
:04:00. > :04:09.Fans, friends and the former First Minister Ian Paisley all came to
:04:09. > :04:16.pay their respects. It really did shake me. But having known the
:04:16. > :04:22.family and knowing their profession of faith in Jesus Christ, that was
:04:22. > :04:27.like the blowing of a hard wind that blew away the dark clouds.
:04:27. > :04:30.family have received some of these from right across the Community.
:04:30. > :04:38.When the publicity is over, when that the story goes off the
:04:38. > :04:43.headlines and, Mrs Spence and Graham's wife and the children and
:04:43. > :04:46.their families, they will have to do with this terrible loss.
:04:46. > :04:50.investigations continue, one of the key witnesses will of course be a
:04:50. > :04:55.match. But for now at least, she is home with her loved ones. Her
:04:55. > :04:59.husband, her sister and their mother at this deeply distressing
:04:59. > :05:01.time. The family's connection with sport,
:05:01. > :05:11.especially rugby, has been well- documented since the accident
:05:11. > :05:12.
:05:12. > :05:15.happened. Stephen is live for us in Ballynahinch this evening.
:05:15. > :05:21.The flight is at half mast this evening at Ballynahinch Cricket
:05:21. > :05:23.Club, which is right in the heart of the local community. It was on
:05:23. > :05:29.this pitch where Noel Spence would have watched his two sons play
:05:29. > :05:33.rugger. The overall feeling here this evening is one of shock and
:05:33. > :05:37.disbelief. The club will become a focal point for people this evening
:05:37. > :05:40.who have already started to arrive to sign a book of condolence. The
:05:40. > :05:44.feeling is identical at Ulster rugby headquarters at Ravenhill
:05:44. > :05:48.where I was today, where hundreds wanted to turn up and talk and
:05:48. > :05:56.share memories and pay their respects in particular to Nevin
:05:56. > :06:01.Spence he is of course a rising star of Ulster and Irish rugby.
:06:01. > :06:05.They had cheered him, now they mourn him. Beside the pitch at
:06:05. > :06:09.Ravenhill where Nevin Spence showcased his skills, a steady flow
:06:09. > :06:13.of people arrived throughout the day. All came to honour a family
:06:13. > :06:19.and a talent that will never have the chance to realise its full
:06:19. > :06:25.potential. I feel really for the mother because Nevin Spence was a
:06:25. > :06:30.fantastic player. Ulster rugby will go on but we will remember him.
:06:30. > :06:34.have had messages of support from all clubs, even from gaelic
:06:34. > :06:40.football clubs, hockey clubs and football clubs, people wanting to
:06:40. > :06:46.know how they can help. It has overtaken us all. It has really
:06:46. > :06:52.shocked us. We are focusing on trying to give people an outlet for
:06:52. > :07:02.their grief. People have to deal with that in their own ways. He was
:07:02. > :07:03.
:07:03. > :07:09.one of the most exciting prospects in Irish rugby. What a score by the
:07:09. > :07:13.youngster! Can you believe it? the age of 22, Nevin had played
:07:13. > :07:17.over 40 times for Ulster, represented the Irish a team and
:07:17. > :07:23.trained with Ireland's Six Nations squad. Perhaps the defining image
:07:23. > :07:28.of him on a rugby pitch is in this for two seasons ago. Driven and
:07:28. > :07:32.committed, it is a moment that sums up the man, according to Ulster's
:07:32. > :07:42.director of rugby, David Humphreys. Landing on his head, Jimmy, that
:07:42. > :07:43.
:07:43. > :07:47.some at him up. Landing that way, it was all about the team. All of
:07:48. > :07:52.us are struggling to come to terms with what has happened. Some of the
:07:52. > :07:56.Ulster players pay their respects this afternoon. Whatever the squad
:07:56. > :08:06.achieves this season or in the seasons to come, it will be done in
:08:06. > :08:09.
:08:09. > :08:14.Nevin Spence's name. Joining me now are two men who know
:08:14. > :08:17.the family well. The chairman of on the hinge and Ryan Constable. I
:08:17. > :08:21.know you have been to see the family today, how are they? They
:08:21. > :08:26.are coping as best they can. Obviously they are a family with
:08:26. > :08:32.huge character, dealing with tragic circumstances. They are seeking
:08:32. > :08:35.solace in their faith and growing a huge amount of strength from the
:08:35. > :08:39.support being shown from the farming community and the rugby
:08:39. > :08:42.community and the church. From speaking to some of the Ulster
:08:43. > :08:47.players and staff today, in a strange way they feel guilty that a
:08:47. > :08:52.lot of the focus is on Nevin Spence and Ulster rugby and this should be
:08:52. > :08:55.treated as a real community and family tragedy? It has been felt
:08:55. > :09:00.across the whole community and obviously come tragic for the whole
:09:00. > :09:04.family. The players know Nevin well and that is where the focus is for
:09:04. > :09:08.them, but we cannot forget the lives that have been impacted from
:09:08. > :09:12.this end and that has been shared across the whole community. We saw
:09:12. > :09:17.you at Ravenhill today but here in Ballynahinch which is very much a
:09:17. > :09:22.community club, what has the club in doing to help the family?
:09:22. > :09:27.Firstly, we want to pass our respects to a family. They are very
:09:27. > :09:30.well respected in this area, inextricably linked to farming and
:09:30. > :09:37.rugby and to the Baptist church. Many of our members are in the same
:09:37. > :09:41.position. We hope to provide some practical help and we will have
:09:41. > :09:45.farming members and the neighbours are doing that at the minute and
:09:45. > :09:52.they are there to be thanked for that but we hope in the future that
:09:52. > :09:55.we can provide support their two. know that Ulster's match this
:09:55. > :10:03.Friday has been postponed but a memorial service will take place on
:10:03. > :10:07.Sunday at Ravenhill? Yes, 3pm on Sunday, they are planning a
:10:07. > :10:15.memorial service. He had a huge amount of supporters within the
:10:15. > :10:19.whole community. Anybody can come and pay their respects. Nevin
:10:19. > :10:25.Spence was a very talented sportsman, not just a highly
:10:25. > :10:30.regarded rugby player, he formerly played for Glentoran youth team.
:10:30. > :10:34.Just to show that this is not just being felt by the rugby community
:10:34. > :10:37.and the entire sporting community in general, there was a one-minute
:10:38. > :10:42.silence yesterday at the All Ireland come off the final. I was
:10:43. > :10:46.at her road racing event and All Our local cyclists approached me
:10:46. > :10:51.and said they wanted to pass on their best wishes to the family and
:10:51. > :10:55.their thoughts were with them. They expressed their shock and disbelief
:10:55. > :11:02.and the reaction on the social media really has been a truly
:11:02. > :11:07.global. Messages from the likes of Dan Carter, a famous using under he
:11:07. > :11:13.says, such sad news. Brian O'Driscoll said, what a talented
:11:13. > :11:19.player, Nevin Spence was, tipped in the future to take the number 13
:11:19. > :11:25.shirt in the Irish team. I know that the IRFU have also opened a
:11:25. > :11:28.book of condolence in Dublin at their headquarters as well and they
:11:28. > :11:34.have delayed the announcement of the international team. Also,
:11:34. > :11:40.messages on Twitter from Shane Williams he said, a tragic loss,
:11:40. > :11:44.Nevin Spence was a class act on the field. From Rory McIlory, an Ulster
:11:44. > :11:48.rugby supporter as well as the No. 1 golfer in the world, he said it
:11:48. > :11:53.makes you cherish every day you have on this earth. I think that is
:11:53. > :11:57.how everyone here in the community fines this evening. Summed up by
:11:57. > :12:02.the picture they have put up in the clubhouse to know all, Nevin and
:12:02. > :12:05.Graham, to say that thoughts and prayers are with a family at this
:12:05. > :12:09.sad time. Over the past 20 months, 23 people
:12:09. > :12:11.have been killed in agricultural accidents here. Farmers are well
:12:11. > :12:20.aware of the risks involved in using slurry but this weekend's
:12:20. > :12:26.tragedy has focused minds on the dangers.
:12:26. > :12:31.A common sight at this time of year. Under European law, farmers have
:12:31. > :12:36.until the 1st October to spread slurry. The mixture is a cost-
:12:36. > :12:41.effective fertiliser. All Derry farms will have slurry tanks. The
:12:41. > :12:44.manure from cars falls through the floors into a pool where it is
:12:45. > :12:49.stored until ready for spreading. It needs to be broken down before
:12:49. > :12:54.it is ready for the fields. The mixing is the most dangerous part
:12:54. > :12:59.of the entire process. That is because the machinery goes down and
:12:59. > :13:05.churns up all that waste, making it ready for pumping but in doing so,
:13:05. > :13:13.it releases a cocktail of potentially lethal gases. One of
:13:13. > :13:18.these is hydrogen sulphide. Farmers Colleter the silent killer. Its
:13:18. > :13:23.concentration, at low levels, it can irritate the eyes and throat.
:13:23. > :13:27.At 10 times the concentration, it can cause headaches and dizziness.
:13:27. > :13:34.At 500 parts, it needs to disorientation and collapse. At
:13:34. > :13:41.levels over 700, it can stop breathing, leading to rapid death.
:13:41. > :13:47.When you are mixing at the start of the Nixon operation, you will get
:13:47. > :13:53.this sudden lift if there is not sufficient ventilation, you will
:13:53. > :13:57.get a man of concentration to within the house and really, the
:13:57. > :14:02.operators are completely unaware of this happening until they are
:14:02. > :14:07.overcome. Outdoor mixing points like this might improve safety when
:14:07. > :14:13.it comes to slurry. Just one of a number of serious occupational
:14:13. > :14:18.hazards. Farming is one of the most dangerous occupations. Farmers were
:14:18. > :14:24.with heavy machinery and scenery, all very dangerous factors are to
:14:24. > :14:28.be taken on board. We have seen the number of fatalities on farms and
:14:28. > :14:32.we need to get messages out there, to work with the farmers themselves
:14:32. > :14:36.and get these messages out there to try and improve the safety of our
:14:36. > :14:40.farmers. The minister is also keen to stress that if farmers have
:14:40. > :14:45.doubts about the safety of their slurry tanks, they should contact
:14:45. > :14:49.the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise, which is
:14:49. > :14:56.trained advisers who can help. The Health Minister Edwin Poots
:14:56. > :15:00.joins us now from Stormont. You know the family well, we have
:15:01. > :15:08.heard about the character of Nevin Spence, what can you tell us about
:15:08. > :15:13.Noel and Graham? I would have known the parents' best. All was an
:15:13. > :15:21.exceptionally strong man. He was not to be messed with in terms of
:15:21. > :15:27.just how we carried on and even fooling around! His wife was a
:15:27. > :15:37.sweet 80 and is a teacher in a local school. Graham came home to
:15:37. > :15:38.
:15:38. > :15:42.the farm and worked very hard to build it up along with his family.
:15:42. > :15:45.A superb family, really be a respected in the community and this
:15:45. > :15:50.is such a loss and whilst there has been a lot of concentration on the
:15:50. > :15:54.rugby, Nevin will be replaced as a centre but he will not be replaced
:15:54. > :16:01.as a brother or son and neither will be Graham replaced as a father,
:16:01. > :16:06.son or a brother, or noel replaced as a husband or father. What do you
:16:06. > :16:09.think can be done to make farms safer? Perhaps we need to be
:16:09. > :16:13.contacting the European Union and indicating to them that we have our
:16:13. > :16:20.concerns about the numbers of farmers who have died as a result
:16:20. > :16:25.of serious incidents. Also the pressure applied on them to have
:16:25. > :16:31.the slurry spread so quickly. I also think it would be useful to
:16:31. > :16:35.have some kind of manager available for farmers, that they could test
:16:35. > :16:40.how much gas they is in the system because they do have to go in and
:16:40. > :16:45.out of houses have to change the pumps and so forth. A lot about the
:16:45. > :16:49.deadline, does it need to be changed? There needs to be more
:16:49. > :16:51.flexibility. If we get longer periods of good weather in the
:16:51. > :16:55.winter time, there needs to be flexibility built and there because
:16:55. > :17:01.farmers are really very desperate to get all the slurry out at this
:17:01. > :17:05.time of the year, to get the tanks empty. At the end of January, they
:17:05. > :17:07.are very full and pose the greatest risks.
:17:07. > :17:10.The Health and Safety Executive said this afternoon they should
:17:10. > :17:13.have the first stage of their investigation into what happened
:17:13. > :17:20.completed by Friday. I'm joined by BBC Northern Ireland's Agriculture
:17:20. > :17:26.reporter, Richard Wright. Investigation is continuing but
:17:27. > :17:31.what other possible explanations? The most likely explanation is that
:17:31. > :17:36.the people went down into a tunnel or pipe that brings the slurry from
:17:36. > :17:40.the house into an outside slurry lagoon which is effectively a big
:17:40. > :17:47.pond of slurry that you would have on a farm of that size, and they
:17:47. > :17:55.had mixed in the morning so the gas had been gone but this demise went
:17:55. > :17:59.into this pipe that brings the slurry and that is where the gas is
:18:00. > :18:03.where that they had collected in that and anyone, as we saw in the
:18:03. > :18:07.previous peace, anyone who comes across those gases, will go down
:18:07. > :18:14.very quickly. There have been suggestions about monitors or
:18:14. > :18:19.alarms or gas masks? Yes, the ultimate advice is that if you can
:18:19. > :18:27.stay away from the situations, that is the advice from the Health and
:18:27. > :18:31.Safety Executive. In fairness, this was an accident. They thought they
:18:31. > :18:35.gases had disappeared into the air after they had been agitated and
:18:35. > :18:41.mixed in the morning. Obviously they had collected in this tunnel,
:18:41. > :18:51.but it is just a tragic accident at, no matter what standards are put in
:18:51. > :18:53.
:18:53. > :18:58.place, farmers will put measures in place. All farmers are devastated
:18:58. > :19:01.by this because it is an everyday task on every farm in Northern
:19:01. > :19:06.Ireland and when farmers see this happen, they will think long and
:19:06. > :19:09.hard about the risks they take. family obviously preparing for a
:19:09. > :19:15.funeral but what about the practicalities of keeping a farm of
:19:15. > :19:21.that size running? That is the most difficult task. People will come in
:19:21. > :19:28.and help, neighbours and people from the community and the rugby
:19:28. > :19:33.club. Cars will get knocked and fed but a desire pig farm with 200
:19:33. > :19:36.cattle and what you have effectively lost in the father and
:19:36. > :19:40.son are the people who manage the business and in the months to come
:19:40. > :19:46.when people can no longer just come to help, decisions owing be have to
:19:46. > :19:49.mediate but how to run the business. That is very hard. Very hard for
:19:49. > :19:54.Mrs Spence left on the farm because it is her home but also the case
:19:54. > :19:59.were the horrendous accident happened. Someone is always left to
:19:59. > :20:03.cope with the aftermath of the accident when it is also their home.
:20:03. > :20:08.Very, very tough times ahead for that family and there is not a
:20:08. > :20:12.single farm in Northern Ireland it would not feel for them.
:20:12. > :20:15.BBC Newsline has been out on police raids as the PSNI rolls out a new
:20:15. > :20:17.operation to tackle street-level drug dealers. Our district
:20:17. > :20:27.journalist Gordon Adair joined one group of officers taking the fight,
:20:27. > :20:30.
:20:30. > :20:38.literally, to the dealers doors. Newry, and to next-door neighbours,
:20:38. > :20:42.boats suspected drug dealers, are about to get a nasty shock. This is
:20:42. > :20:50.just one of well over 1000 searches which have been carried out as part
:20:50. > :20:54.of any move against street level dealers. This operation has seen
:20:54. > :21:04.more than 200 people arrested across Northern Ireland in a matter
:21:04. > :21:04.
:21:04. > :21:10.of weeks. The local officers are trying to tease more information
:21:10. > :21:15.from the community. At an early morning briefing, then it's off to
:21:15. > :21:20.target the homes of two well known suspects. We cannot do this without
:21:20. > :21:23.people giving us information and working with us. We depend on that
:21:23. > :21:32.information to do the searches so the more information we get, the
:21:32. > :21:36.better. There is a difficult game, it is a never-ending battle for
:21:36. > :21:46.last but we need the help from the community. Minutes later, we're the
:21:46. > :21:56.
:21:56. > :22:00.suspect's Home. The a firearm is quickly found and a man is arrested.
:22:00. > :22:04.The surge inside the house has now been completed and a small amount
:22:04. > :22:07.of suspected drugs were found as well as a firearm. The officers and
:22:07. > :22:11.are searching the gardens of neighbouring properties and already
:22:11. > :22:15.this has you did an amount of herbal cannabis, Canada's present
:22:15. > :22:19.and a balaclava. Primarily this operation is directed towards
:22:19. > :22:26.street-level dealings. We know from public feedback that this is what
:22:26. > :22:29.people worry about. We are very much to do this operation together
:22:29. > :22:34.to tackle that and clamp down on that. The operation is now entering
:22:35. > :22:44.a new phase and it is the public's turn to do their bit. What do they

:23:51. > :23:52.
:23:52. > :23:59.spoken of their shock. A very quiet man. He would have
:23:59. > :24:02.done anybody a good turn. The neighbourhood is devastated. It is
:24:02. > :24:08.hard to believe. Police investigating the murder of
:24:08. > :24:11.Arlene Arkinson have searched a derelict flat in Castlederg. The
:24:11. > :24:16.teenager disappeared in 1994. Convicted child killer Robert
:24:16. > :24:20.Howard once lived in the flat on Main Street. In 2005, he was
:24:20. > :24:22.charged with and acquitted of Arlene's murder. The police say the

:24:28. > :24:31.follow new information given to detectives.
:24:31. > :24:35.A search for the remains of one of the so-called disappeared has
:24:35. > :24:41.resumed in County Monaghan. 19 year-old Columba McVeigh was

:25:11. > :25:16.the majority of workers in FG Wilson says it will continue to
:25:16. > :25:19.fight to save jobs at the plant. On Thursday the company which is owned

:25:54. > :25:57.disruption to its operations. There will be a cool feel to the
:25:57. > :26:00.weather this coming week. It is the middle of September so it really
:26:00. > :26:04.shouldn't be a big surprise. We have had some blustery showers
:26:04. > :26:07.today and they will continue tomorrow. Thursday looks to be the
:26:07. > :26:11.wettest day and it will be sandwiched in between dry days on
:26:11. > :26:16.Wednesday and Friday. Tomorrow night there will be some quite low
:26:16. > :26:20.temperatures. This is how the weather radar looks at the moment,
:26:20. > :26:24.still a healthy gathering of showers around. They will continue
:26:24. > :26:32.over the next few hours but with time, they will be confined to
:26:32. > :26:38.northern coastal counties. Temperatures in the South dropping
:26:38. > :26:43.as low as three or four degrees. Close To tomorrow. Further shares
:26:43. > :26:47.again but in between one or two nice windows, as there was today in
:26:47. > :26:52.Bangor. The blustery wind will blow from the north-west and that will
:26:52. > :26:57.make it feel even colder than today. To start with, some sunshine and it
:26:57. > :27:03.will be a pleasant start particularly across the South East.
:27:03. > :27:08.The rain will drift further south east in those winds. It means by
:27:08. > :27:13.lunchtime, we are more likely to see showers across Tyrone,
:27:13. > :27:20.Londonderry and more of Antrim. Further south, there will be a few
:27:20. > :27:24.in Belfast as well but not as many Inter county Down and County Armagh.
:27:24. > :27:29.14 degrees is the best we can expect tomorrow, couple of degrees
:27:29. > :27:32.down from today so it will feel quite cold at times. The rain this
:27:32. > :27:41.appears tomorrow so a nice bright end to the day can then tomorrow
:27:41. > :27:46.night, quite cold with temperatures dropping as low as three degrees.
:27:46. > :27:52.Possibly a touch of frost on the grass on Wednesday morning. Not too
:27:52. > :27:57.bad a day on Wednesday, very few showers. The rain, though, is back
:27:57. > :28:02.on Thursday. That was BBC Newsline on a day when
:28:02. > :28:07.sympathy has been pouring in for a family after the tragic deaths of
