The story dominating the news tonight: The deaths of a father and

:00:18.:00:23.

his two sons. A tragedy that has devastated a family and hit the

:00:23.:00:27.

farming and rugby communities. I am in Ballynahinch where I've

:00:27.:00:36.

been getting the reaction of friends of the Spence family.

:00:36.:00:40.

Three members of the one family killed in a tragic accident - the

:00:40.:00:44.

impact on that one family is unimaginable. The deaths of farmer

:00:44.:00:47.

Noel Spence and his sons Graham and Nevin have also impacted across not

:00:47.:00:53.

only the farming community here but also the sporting community. Nevin,

:00:53.:00:57.

a rising star of Ulster and Irish rugby, died along with his father

:00:57.:01:00.

and brother after being overcome by fumes at a slurry pit on the family

:01:00.:01:07.

farm in Hillsborough. His sister Emma was also involved in the

:01:07.:01:17.
:01:17.:01:17.

accident but was released from hospital last night.

:01:17.:01:23.

Three strong, healthy men. Killed in minutes at the place they called

:01:23.:01:28.

home. Father Noel Spence and his sons, Graham and Nevin. They had

:01:28.:01:33.

been spreading slurry all day. One line of inquiry was that a dog had

:01:33.:01:37.

gone into the slurry pit and perhaps they had gone in after it.

:01:37.:01:42.

Their sister Emma was also there. What happened next was devastating.

:01:42.:01:48.

At around 6:15pm, the three men were overcome by fumes and died.

:01:48.:01:53.

Emma has survived. She is an artist and last December, the BBC

:01:53.:01:57.

interviewed her on the farm. She had been working on a series of

:01:57.:02:04.

paintings featuring Ulster rugby players. We are all successful in

:02:04.:02:10.

my mum and dad's eyes. Nevin is in front of the camera a lot so it is

:02:10.:02:16.

a different form of doing your best. I remember his first match, he was

:02:16.:02:25.

playing a friendly and I thought to myself, at least he has got to

:02:25.:02:31.

where the Ulster shirt. Also there that day was Nevin he said he was

:02:31.:02:35.

very proud of his sister. I was pleasantly surprised, I wouldn't

:02:35.:02:42.

like to say I was delighted but it was very good. He said he loved his

:02:42.:02:47.

rugby. You are doing what you want to do and it keeps you out of a

:02:47.:02:51.

real job for a while. I am delighted to be doing something

:02:51.:02:57.

that a lot of people would love to do. At his local rugby club, and

:02:57.:03:01.

hence, their flag was at half-mast. Prayers have been said at the

:03:01.:03:09.

family's church. They were all very alike, all very decent. Very calm,

:03:09.:03:15.

gentle people. Hard-working, honest with a deep sense of family

:03:15.:03:20.

loyalties. Noel Spence and his four children all went to Dromore High

:03:20.:03:24.

School. The Prince of what they're just sock Nevin a few hours before

:03:25.:03:30.

the tragedy at a Dromore match. was walking past me and in his own

:03:30.:03:34.

style, he slapped me on the shoulder and said, where were you?

:03:34.:03:40.

I said, I have been standing here all this time, and as he walked on,

:03:40.:03:44.

he said, I will see you again soon. I can remember his blond hair in

:03:44.:03:49.

the wind and the big broad smile that he always wore. That is my

:03:49.:03:54.

last memory of him. Abaca condolence was opened at Ravenhill.

:03:54.:04:00.

Fans, friends and the former First Minister Ian Paisley all came to

:04:00.:04:09.

pay their respects. It really did shake me. But having known the

:04:09.:04:16.

family and knowing their profession of faith in Jesus Christ, that was

:04:16.:04:22.

like the blowing of a hard wind that blew away the dark clouds.

:04:22.:04:27.

family have received some of these from right across the Community.

:04:27.:04:30.

When the publicity is over, when that the story goes off the

:04:30.:04:38.

headlines and, Mrs Spence and Graham's wife and the children and

:04:38.:04:43.

their families, they will have to do with this terrible loss.

:04:43.:04:46.

investigations continue, one of the key witnesses will of course be a

:04:46.:04:50.

match. But for now at least, she is home with her loved ones. Her

:04:50.:04:55.

husband, her sister and their mother at this deeply distressing

:04:55.:04:59.

time. The family's connection with sport,

:04:59.:05:01.

especially rugby, has been well- documented since the accident

:05:01.:05:11.
:05:11.:05:12.

happened. Stephen is live for us in Ballynahinch this evening.

:05:12.:05:15.

The flight is at half mast this evening at Ballynahinch Cricket

:05:15.:05:21.

Club, which is right in the heart of the local community. It was on

:05:21.:05:23.

this pitch where Noel Spence would have watched his two sons play

:05:23.:05:29.

rugger. The overall feeling here this evening is one of shock and

:05:29.:05:33.

disbelief. The club will become a focal point for people this evening

:05:33.:05:37.

who have already started to arrive to sign a book of condolence. The

:05:37.:05:40.

feeling is identical at Ulster rugby headquarters at Ravenhill

:05:40.:05:44.

where I was today, where hundreds wanted to turn up and talk and

:05:44.:05:48.

share memories and pay their respects in particular to Nevin

:05:48.:05:56.

Spence he is of course a rising star of Ulster and Irish rugby.

:05:56.:06:01.

They had cheered him, now they mourn him. Beside the pitch at

:06:01.:06:05.

Ravenhill where Nevin Spence showcased his skills, a steady flow

:06:05.:06:09.

of people arrived throughout the day. All came to honour a family

:06:09.:06:13.

and a talent that will never have the chance to realise its full

:06:13.:06:19.

potential. I feel really for the mother because Nevin Spence was a

:06:19.:06:25.

fantastic player. Ulster rugby will go on but we will remember him.

:06:25.:06:30.

have had messages of support from all clubs, even from gaelic

:06:30.:06:34.

football clubs, hockey clubs and football clubs, people wanting to

:06:34.:06:40.

know how they can help. It has overtaken us all. It has really

:06:40.:06:46.

shocked us. We are focusing on trying to give people an outlet for

:06:46.:06:52.

their grief. People have to deal with that in their own ways. He was

:06:52.:07:02.
:07:02.:07:03.

one of the most exciting prospects in Irish rugby. What a score by the

:07:03.:07:09.

youngster! Can you believe it? the age of 22, Nevin had played

:07:09.:07:13.

over 40 times for Ulster, represented the Irish a team and

:07:13.:07:17.

trained with Ireland's Six Nations squad. Perhaps the defining image

:07:17.:07:23.

of him on a rugby pitch is in this for two seasons ago. Driven and

:07:23.:07:28.

committed, it is a moment that sums up the man, according to Ulster's

:07:28.:07:32.

director of rugby, David Humphreys. Landing on his head, Jimmy, that

:07:32.:07:42.
:07:42.:07:43.

some at him up. Landing that way, it was all about the team. All of

:07:43.:07:47.

us are struggling to come to terms with what has happened. Some of the

:07:48.:07:52.

Ulster players pay their respects this afternoon. Whatever the squad

:07:52.:07:56.

achieves this season or in the seasons to come, it will be done in

:07:56.:08:06.
:08:06.:08:09.

Nevin Spence's name. Joining me now are two men who know

:08:09.:08:14.

the family well. The chairman of on the hinge and Ryan Constable. I

:08:14.:08:17.

know you have been to see the family today, how are they? They

:08:17.:08:21.

are coping as best they can. Obviously they are a family with

:08:21.:08:26.

huge character, dealing with tragic circumstances. They are seeking

:08:26.:08:32.

solace in their faith and growing a huge amount of strength from the

:08:32.:08:35.

support being shown from the farming community and the rugby

:08:35.:08:39.

community and the church. From speaking to some of the Ulster

:08:39.:08:42.

players and staff today, in a strange way they feel guilty that a

:08:43.:08:47.

lot of the focus is on Nevin Spence and Ulster rugby and this should be

:08:47.:08:52.

treated as a real community and family tragedy? It has been felt

:08:52.:08:55.

across the whole community and obviously come tragic for the whole

:08:55.:09:00.

family. The players know Nevin well and that is where the focus is for

:09:00.:09:04.

them, but we cannot forget the lives that have been impacted from

:09:04.:09:08.

this end and that has been shared across the whole community. We saw

:09:08.:09:12.

you at Ravenhill today but here in Ballynahinch which is very much a

:09:12.:09:17.

community club, what has the club in doing to help the family?

:09:17.:09:22.

Firstly, we want to pass our respects to a family. They are very

:09:22.:09:27.

well respected in this area, inextricably linked to farming and

:09:27.:09:30.

rugby and to the Baptist church. Many of our members are in the same

:09:30.:09:37.

position. We hope to provide some practical help and we will have

:09:37.:09:41.

farming members and the neighbours are doing that at the minute and

:09:41.:09:45.

they are there to be thanked for that but we hope in the future that

:09:45.:09:52.

we can provide support their two. know that Ulster's match this

:09:52.:09:55.

Friday has been postponed but a memorial service will take place on

:09:55.:10:03.

Sunday at Ravenhill? Yes, 3pm on Sunday, they are planning a

:10:03.:10:07.

memorial service. He had a huge amount of supporters within the

:10:07.:10:15.

whole community. Anybody can come and pay their respects. Nevin

:10:15.:10:19.

Spence was a very talented sportsman, not just a highly

:10:19.:10:25.

regarded rugby player, he formerly played for Glentoran youth team.

:10:25.:10:30.

Just to show that this is not just being felt by the rugby community

:10:30.:10:34.

and the entire sporting community in general, there was a one-minute

:10:34.:10:37.

silence yesterday at the All Ireland come off the final. I was

:10:38.:10:42.

at her road racing event and All Our local cyclists approached me

:10:43.:10:46.

and said they wanted to pass on their best wishes to the family and

:10:46.:10:51.

their thoughts were with them. They expressed their shock and disbelief

:10:51.:10:55.

and the reaction on the social media really has been a truly

:10:55.:11:02.

global. Messages from the likes of Dan Carter, a famous using under he

:11:02.:11:07.

says, such sad news. Brian O'Driscoll said, what a talented

:11:07.:11:13.

player, Nevin Spence was, tipped in the future to take the number 13

:11:13.:11:19.

shirt in the Irish team. I know that the IRFU have also opened a

:11:19.:11:25.

book of condolence in Dublin at their headquarters as well and they

:11:25.:11:28.

have delayed the announcement of the international team. Also,

:11:28.:11:34.

messages on Twitter from Shane Williams he said, a tragic loss,

:11:34.:11:40.

Nevin Spence was a class act on the field. From Rory McIlory, an Ulster

:11:40.:11:44.

rugby supporter as well as the No. 1 golfer in the world, he said it

:11:44.:11:48.

makes you cherish every day you have on this earth. I think that is

:11:48.:11:53.

how everyone here in the community fines this evening. Summed up by

:11:53.:11:57.

the picture they have put up in the clubhouse to know all, Nevin and

:11:57.:12:02.

Graham, to say that thoughts and prayers are with a family at this

:12:02.:12:05.

sad time. Over the past 20 months, 23 people

:12:05.:12:09.

have been killed in agricultural accidents here. Farmers are well

:12:09.:12:11.

aware of the risks involved in using slurry but this weekend's

:12:11.:12:20.

tragedy has focused minds on the dangers.

:12:20.:12:26.

A common sight at this time of year. Under European law, farmers have

:12:26.:12:31.

until the 1st October to spread slurry. The mixture is a cost-

:12:31.:12:36.

effective fertiliser. All Derry farms will have slurry tanks. The

:12:36.:12:41.

manure from cars falls through the floors into a pool where it is

:12:41.:12:44.

stored until ready for spreading. It needs to be broken down before

:12:45.:12:49.

it is ready for the fields. The mixing is the most dangerous part

:12:49.:12:54.

of the entire process. That is because the machinery goes down and

:12:54.:12:59.

churns up all that waste, making it ready for pumping but in doing so,

:12:59.:13:05.

it releases a cocktail of potentially lethal gases. One of

:13:05.:13:13.

these is hydrogen sulphide. Farmers Colleter the silent killer. Its

:13:13.:13:18.

concentration, at low levels, it can irritate the eyes and throat.

:13:18.:13:23.

At 10 times the concentration, it can cause headaches and dizziness.

:13:23.:13:27.

At 500 parts, it needs to disorientation and collapse. At

:13:27.:13:34.

levels over 700, it can stop breathing, leading to rapid death.

:13:34.:13:41.

When you are mixing at the start of the Nixon operation, you will get

:13:41.:13:47.

this sudden lift if there is not sufficient ventilation, you will

:13:47.:13:53.

get a man of concentration to within the house and really, the

:13:53.:13:57.

operators are completely unaware of this happening until they are

:13:57.:14:02.

overcome. Outdoor mixing points like this might improve safety when

:14:02.:14:07.

it comes to slurry. Just one of a number of serious occupational

:14:07.:14:13.

hazards. Farming is one of the most dangerous occupations. Farmers were

:14:13.:14:18.

with heavy machinery and scenery, all very dangerous factors are to

:14:18.:14:24.

be taken on board. We have seen the number of fatalities on farms and

:14:24.:14:28.

we need to get messages out there, to work with the farmers themselves

:14:28.:14:32.

and get these messages out there to try and improve the safety of our

:14:32.:14:36.

farmers. The minister is also keen to stress that if farmers have

:14:36.:14:40.

doubts about the safety of their slurry tanks, they should contact

:14:40.:14:45.

the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise, which is

:14:45.:14:49.

trained advisers who can help. The Health Minister Edwin Poots

:14:49.:14:56.

joins us now from Stormont. You know the family well, we have

:14:56.:15:00.

heard about the character of Nevin Spence, what can you tell us about

:15:01.:15:08.

Noel and Graham? I would have known the parents' best. All was an

:15:08.:15:13.

exceptionally strong man. He was not to be messed with in terms of

:15:13.:15:21.

just how we carried on and even fooling around! His wife was a

:15:21.:15:27.

sweet 80 and is a teacher in a local school. Graham came home to

:15:27.:15:37.
:15:37.:15:38.

the farm and worked very hard to build it up along with his family.

:15:38.:15:42.

A superb family, really be a respected in the community and this

:15:42.:15:45.

is such a loss and whilst there has been a lot of concentration on the

:15:45.:15:50.

rugby, Nevin will be replaced as a centre but he will not be replaced

:15:50.:15:54.

as a brother or son and neither will be Graham replaced as a father,

:15:54.:16:01.

son or a brother, or noel replaced as a husband or father. What do you

:16:01.:16:06.

think can be done to make farms safer? Perhaps we need to be

:16:06.:16:09.

contacting the European Union and indicating to them that we have our

:16:09.:16:13.

concerns about the numbers of farmers who have died as a result

:16:13.:16:20.

of serious incidents. Also the pressure applied on them to have

:16:20.:16:25.

the slurry spread so quickly. I also think it would be useful to

:16:25.:16:31.

have some kind of manager available for farmers, that they could test

:16:31.:16:35.

how much gas they is in the system because they do have to go in and

:16:35.:16:40.

out of houses have to change the pumps and so forth. A lot about the

:16:40.:16:45.

deadline, does it need to be changed? There needs to be more

:16:45.:16:49.

flexibility. If we get longer periods of good weather in the

:16:49.:16:51.

winter time, there needs to be flexibility built and there because

:16:51.:16:55.

farmers are really very desperate to get all the slurry out at this

:16:55.:17:01.

time of the year, to get the tanks empty. At the end of January, they

:17:01.:17:05.

are very full and pose the greatest risks.

:17:05.:17:07.

The Health and Safety Executive said this afternoon they should

:17:07.:17:10.

have the first stage of their investigation into what happened

:17:10.:17:13.

completed by Friday. I'm joined by BBC Northern Ireland's Agriculture

:17:13.:17:20.

reporter, Richard Wright. Investigation is continuing but

:17:20.:17:26.

what other possible explanations? The most likely explanation is that

:17:27.:17:31.

the people went down into a tunnel or pipe that brings the slurry from

:17:31.:17:36.

the house into an outside slurry lagoon which is effectively a big

:17:36.:17:40.

pond of slurry that you would have on a farm of that size, and they

:17:40.:17:47.

had mixed in the morning so the gas had been gone but this demise went

:17:47.:17:55.

into this pipe that brings the slurry and that is where the gas is

:17:55.:17:59.

where that they had collected in that and anyone, as we saw in the

:18:00.:18:03.

previous peace, anyone who comes across those gases, will go down

:18:03.:18:07.

very quickly. There have been suggestions about monitors or

:18:07.:18:14.

alarms or gas masks? Yes, the ultimate advice is that if you can

:18:14.:18:19.

stay away from the situations, that is the advice from the Health and

:18:19.:18:27.

Safety Executive. In fairness, this was an accident. They thought they

:18:27.:18:31.

gases had disappeared into the air after they had been agitated and

:18:31.:18:35.

mixed in the morning. Obviously they had collected in this tunnel,

:18:35.:18:41.

but it is just a tragic accident at, no matter what standards are put in

:18:41.:18:51.
:18:51.:18:53.

place, farmers will put measures in place. All farmers are devastated

:18:53.:18:58.

by this because it is an everyday task on every farm in Northern

:18:58.:19:01.

Ireland and when farmers see this happen, they will think long and

:19:01.:19:06.

hard about the risks they take. family obviously preparing for a

:19:06.:19:09.

funeral but what about the practicalities of keeping a farm of

:19:09.:19:15.

that size running? That is the most difficult task. People will come in

:19:15.:19:21.

and help, neighbours and people from the community and the rugby

:19:21.:19:28.

club. Cars will get knocked and fed but a desire pig farm with 200

:19:28.:19:33.

cattle and what you have effectively lost in the father and

:19:33.:19:36.

son are the people who manage the business and in the months to come

:19:36.:19:40.

when people can no longer just come to help, decisions owing be have to

:19:40.:19:46.

mediate but how to run the business. That is very hard. Very hard for

:19:46.:19:49.

Mrs Spence left on the farm because it is her home but also the case

:19:49.:19:54.

were the horrendous accident happened. Someone is always left to

:19:54.:19:59.

cope with the aftermath of the accident when it is also their home.

:19:59.:20:03.

Very, very tough times ahead for that family and there is not a

:20:03.:20:08.

single farm in Northern Ireland it would not feel for them.

:20:08.:20:12.

BBC Newsline has been out on police raids as the PSNI rolls out a new

:20:12.:20:15.

operation to tackle street-level drug dealers. Our district

:20:15.:20:17.

journalist Gordon Adair joined one group of officers taking the fight,

:20:17.:20:27.
:20:27.:20:30.

literally, to the dealers doors. Newry, and to next-door neighbours,

:20:30.:20:38.

boats suspected drug dealers, are about to get a nasty shock. This is

:20:38.:20:42.

just one of well over 1000 searches which have been carried out as part

:20:42.:20:50.

of any move against street level dealers. This operation has seen

:20:50.:20:54.

more than 200 people arrested across Northern Ireland in a matter

:20:54.:21:04.
:21:04.:21:04.

of weeks. The local officers are trying to tease more information

:21:04.:21:10.

from the community. At an early morning briefing, then it's off to

:21:10.:21:15.

target the homes of two well known suspects. We cannot do this without

:21:15.:21:20.

people giving us information and working with us. We depend on that

:21:20.:21:23.

information to do the searches so the more information we get, the

:21:23.:21:32.

better. There is a difficult game, it is a never-ending battle for

:21:32.:21:36.

last but we need the help from the community. Minutes later, we're the

:21:36.:21:46.
:21:46.:21:56.

suspect's Home. The a firearm is quickly found and a man is arrested.

:21:56.:22:00.

The surge inside the house has now been completed and a small amount

:22:00.:22:04.

of suspected drugs were found as well as a firearm. The officers and

:22:04.:22:07.

are searching the gardens of neighbouring properties and already

:22:07.:22:11.

this has you did an amount of herbal cannabis, Canada's present

:22:11.:22:15.

and a balaclava. Primarily this operation is directed towards

:22:15.:22:19.

street-level dealings. We know from public feedback that this is what

:22:19.:22:26.

people worry about. We are very much to do this operation together

:22:26.:22:29.

to tackle that and clamp down on that. The operation is now entering

:22:29.:22:34.

a new phase and it is the public's turn to do their bit. What do they

being questioned are aged between 36 and 17. Local residents have

:23:41.:23:51.
:23:51.:23:52.

spoken of their shock. A very quiet man. He would have

:23:52.:23:59.

done anybody a good turn. The neighbourhood is devastated. It is

:23:59.:24:02.

hard to believe. Police investigating the murder of

:24:02.:24:08.

Arlene Arkinson have searched a derelict flat in Castlederg. The

teenager disappeared in 1994. Convicted child killer Robert

follow new information given to detectives.

:24:28.:24:31.

appear in court again next month. The union, Unite, which represents

:25:08.:25:11.

the majority of workers in FG Wilson says it will continue to

:25:11.:25:16.

fight to save jobs at the plant. On Thursday the company which is owned

by US-based Caterpillar announced it is to shed 760 jobs across its

:25:19.:25:26.

factories in Larne, Newtownabbey, Carrickfergus and Springdale. After

warned the company it must consult with unions and staff to avoid any

:25:32.:25:42.
:25:42.:25:54.

disruption to its operations. There will be a cool feel to the

:25:54.:25:57.

weather this coming week. It is the middle of September so it really

:25:57.:26:00.

shouldn't be a big surprise. We have had some blustery showers

:26:00.:26:04.

today and they will continue tomorrow. Thursday looks to be the

:26:04.:26:07.

wettest day and it will be sandwiched in between dry days on

:26:07.:26:11.

Wednesday and Friday. Tomorrow night there will be some quite low

:26:11.:26:16.

temperatures. This is how the weather radar looks at the moment,

:26:16.:26:20.

still a healthy gathering of showers around. They will continue

:26:20.:26:24.

over the next few hours but with time, they will be confined to

:26:24.:26:32.

northern coastal counties. Temperatures in the South dropping

:26:32.:26:38.

as low as three or four degrees. Close To tomorrow. Further shares

:26:38.:26:43.

again but in between one or two nice windows, as there was today in

:26:43.:26:47.

Bangor. The blustery wind will blow from the north-west and that will

:26:47.:26:52.

make it feel even colder than today. To start with, some sunshine and it

:26:52.:26:57.

will be a pleasant start particularly across the South East.

:26:57.:27:03.

The rain will drift further south east in those winds. It means by

:27:03.:27:08.

lunchtime, we are more likely to see showers across Tyrone,

:27:08.:27:13.

Londonderry and more of Antrim. Further south, there will be a few

:27:13.:27:20.

in Belfast as well but not as many Inter county Down and County Armagh.

:27:20.:27:24.

14 degrees is the best we can expect tomorrow, couple of degrees

:27:24.:27:29.

down from today so it will feel quite cold at times. The rain this

:27:29.:27:32.

appears tomorrow so a nice bright end to the day can then tomorrow

:27:32.:27:41.

night, quite cold with temperatures dropping as low as three degrees.

:27:41.:27:46.

Possibly a touch of frost on the grass on Wednesday morning. Not too

:27:46.:27:52.

bad a day on Wednesday, very few showers. The rain, though, is back

:27:52.:27:57.

on Thursday. That was BBC Newsline on a day when

:27:57.:28:02.

sympathy has been pouring in for a family after the tragic deaths of
