Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline. A bomb close to a police

:00:21.:00:25.

officer's home in Omagh - it's described as crude but viable. A

:00:26.:00:29.

burned-out car in South Armagh - a possible link to the murder of a

:00:29.:00:33.

Garda detective. Not in Northern Ireland - nationalists block a new

:00:33.:00:39.

agency labelled the British FBI. The deaths of three family members

:00:39.:00:45.

in a slurry pit - a sister gives evidence at the inquest. Also on

the programme tonight. A triumphant homecoming - Liam Neeson receives

the freedom of Ballymena. Cliftonville's footballers win

:00:56.:01:02.

their first trophy of the season - but how many more to come? And a

:01:02.:01:05.

bit milder through the next 24 hours but there's more wet and

:01:05.:01:15.
:01:15.:01:18.

Detectives are still trying to establish who left a pipebomb close

:01:18.:01:23.

to the home of a police officer in Omagh on Friday. It's thought

:01:23.:01:26.

dissident republicans are just one of their lines of inquiry. The bomb

:01:26.:01:28.

was discovered after the officer, who saw two people acting

:01:28.:01:33.

suspiciously, fired a shot at his house on Kevlin Road. Julian Fowler

Monday morning. Little appeared out of the ordinary today. But the

:01:47.:01:50.

events of the weekend have sent shockwaves through this community.

:01:50.:01:53.

On Friday night a police officer fired shots during an incident at

:01:53.:01:56.

his home. It has been reported that the officer saw two men acting

:01:56.:01:59.

suspiciously at the back of his house. During follow-up searches on

:01:59.:02:02.

Saturday a pipebomb, described by the police as a crude viable

:02:02.:02:08.

explosive device, was found close to the house. Neighbours were

:02:08.:02:15.

evacuated while it was made safe. It is understood the officer was no

:02:16.:02:20.

longer living in the house but had returned to carry out repairs. That

:02:20.:02:26.

has led to concerns that he was being specifically targeted. I was

:02:26.:02:30.

considering perhaps returning to that house and the situation was he

:02:30.:02:36.

was in that house in September and somebody was targeting him.

:02:36.:02:38.

police have not released any details about what happened. But

:02:38.:02:41.

they have appealed for anyone who saw suspicious activity in the

:02:41.:02:44.

Kevlin Road area between 8:00pm and midnight on Friday night to contact

:02:44.:02:47.

them. It is understood detectives are keeping an open mind about who

:02:47.:02:52.

may have been responsible. Dissident republicans are thought

:02:52.:02:58.

to be just one of a number of lines of inquiry. Gardai suspect a cross-

:02:58.:03:00.

border gang was involved in killing Detective Adrian Donohoe in County

:03:00.:03:05.

Louth on Friday. A burnt-out car which they may have used is being

:03:06.:03:09.

examined near Keady in South Armagh. Detective Donohoe was shot in the

:03:09.:03:12.

head as he and a colleague waited to escort a cash delivery from a

:03:12.:03:15.

Credit Union at Bellurgan near Dundalk. Gordon Adair has the

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:27.

latest on the murder investigation. Is this remote forest were a gang

:03:27.:03:30.

of killers fled to on Friday evening? The police think so and

:03:31.:03:37.

that this was the getaway car. It is too early to say just who made

:03:37.:03:45.

up this kind. Idea out on to prejudge but this is an act by a

:03:45.:03:51.

group of criminal terrorists flying the tricolour for convenience or is

:03:51.:03:55.

this a group of organised or disorganised criminals hell-bent on

:03:55.:04:01.

financial gain. Thus more credit union is probably something like

:04:01.:04:05.

half a mile further down this road and I have just driven from it and

:04:05.:04:09.

on either side of the road you can see whether hedges had been pulled

:04:09.:04:14.

out by Garda search teams hunting for clues. We know a little more

:04:14.:04:21.

about what happened on Friday night. It seems detective will Donna Hay

:04:21.:04:26.

and his colleague were collecting cash. When they arrived at the

:04:26.:04:30.

Credit Union, the answer to the car-park was blocked by a vehicle.

:04:30.:04:33.

Detective Donoghoe got out to see what was happening and without

:04:33.:04:38.

warning, was shot in the head. We know that the gang was at least

:04:38.:04:43.

five strong and they were armed with a shotgun, had gone, hammers

:04:43.:04:46.

and were masked and wearing tracksuits. It is understood the

:04:46.:04:52.

gang escaped with something like 4000 Euro but left behind as much

:04:52.:04:59.

as 40,000. Today, the detective, a member of his local GAA club, was

:04:59.:05:04.

hailed as a hero who died protecting neighbours. He could not

:05:04.:05:10.

even describe it. It has been like this since the news broke on Friday.

:05:10.:05:15.

It is just... There are no worse. There never will be. Adrian one

:05:15.:05:20.

never be forgotten her. Trying to come to terms with it. You have

:05:20.:05:24.

children that he coached and mentored and you're trying to tell

:05:24.:05:30.

the child what is going on when you don't understand yourself. We will

:05:30.:05:34.

remember him, we will have fond memories of him and what he did

:05:34.:05:40.

with his precious time. The this evening, Gardai are expected to

:05:40.:05:49.

interview his colleague and staff from the Credit Union. A new

:05:49.:05:52.

policing agency described as the British FBI won't be able to

:05:52.:05:56.

operate in Northern Ireland in the same way as the rest of the UK.

:05:56.:05:59.

Sinn Fein and the SDLP have blocked a move to give the National Crime

:05:59.:06:02.

Agency the powers to carry out police operations and recruit

:06:02.:06:04.

agents. The Justice Minister says the move is a mistake. Vincent

:06:04.:06:14.

Kearney reports. Dutch police prepared to carry out a raid on a

:06:14.:06:21.

flat in Amsterdam. A man insiders British and local police are

:06:21.:06:26.

working with the British serious organised crime agency. That agency

:06:26.:06:31.

is being replaced with the more powerful new body, the National

:06:31.:06:35.

Crime Agency. Described as the British equivalent of the FBI, it

:06:35.:06:39.

will target gangs operating across local, national and international

:06:39.:06:45.

borders. Its head, Keith Bristow, is seen here with the Home

:06:45.:06:49.

Secretary. He will be directly accountable to her for the agency's

:06:49.:06:54.

actions. Not to the Chief Constable of the PSNI, the Policing Board or

:06:54.:06:59.

the Police Ombudsman. Many of the powers being given have been

:06:59.:07:02.

devolved to the Assembly, so it has to agree to give Westminster

:07:02.:07:07.

authority to exercise those powers. They include officers being given

:07:07.:07:12.

the powers of a police constable in Northern Ireland. The authority to

:07:12.:07:17.

carry out searches and make arrests and the ability to crew docked --

:07:17.:07:22.

conduct surveillance and recruit informers. The agency would also be

:07:22.:07:26.

responsible for recovering assets from criminals. But Sinn Fein and

:07:26.:07:30.

the SDLP have refused to support the move, which means the powers

:07:30.:07:35.

will not be extended to Northern Ireland. Justice Minister David

:07:35.:07:39.

Ford says he believes blocking the legislation is a mistake that could

:07:39.:07:44.

have serious implications for the police. There is a real danger that

:07:44.:07:48.

if this does not go ahead, there will be a significant cost to the

:07:48.:07:52.

police and terms of time and finances and we will have an

:07:52.:07:56.

inferior response to the serious crime that we face. Sinn Fein says

:07:56.:08:00.

approving legislation would undermine devolved policing and

:08:00.:08:04.

justice powers. But the DUP has accused the party of playing

:08:04.:08:09.

politics with policing. National Crime Agency was set up to

:08:09.:08:15.

do with pornography, sex crimes, the transit of prostitutes, the

:08:15.:08:19.

transit of illegal fuel, to deal with international aid based

:08:19.:08:23.

criminality. Why would anyone want to be on the wrong side of that

:08:23.:08:29.

argument and stop Corporation across this island? It is right to

:08:29.:08:33.

block this because we have gone through arduous my decisions to

:08:33.:08:38.

have Policing and Justice powers devolved here. Westminster are

:08:38.:08:43.

trying to take his powers away now, when what we want is to assert the

:08:43.:08:48.

primacy of the Executive and assembly. The police are understood

:08:48.:08:51.

to share the concerns of David Ford about the implications of this

:08:51.:08:56.

decision. The PSNI has warned repeatedly that Northern Ireland is

:08:56.:08:59.

increasingly being targeted by international crime gangs operating

:08:59.:09:04.

on a global scale. Police co- operation with the NCA, they

:09:04.:09:08.

believe, is essential to combat those activities. An inquest has

:09:08.:09:11.

been told of the desperate attempts made to save three members of the

:09:11.:09:13.

Spence family who died in an underground slurry pit last

:09:13.:09:17.

September. The father and two sons were killed after one of them tried

:09:17.:09:23.

to rescue a dog on their farm near Hillsborough. A sister of the

:09:23.:09:25.

brothers has been giving evidence at today's hearing, as Claire

:09:25.:09:29.

Savage reports. On that fateful Saturday evening on the 15th of

:09:29.:09:31.

September, just after 6:00pm, farmer Noel Spence, who had been

:09:31.:09:37.

spreading slurry that day, said a dog had gone into the slurry tank.

:09:37.:09:40.

His eldest son, Graham, went down a ladder, through a manhole into the

:09:40.:09:47.

pit, which was four foot deep in slurry. He briefly called for the

:09:47.:09:50.

dog, an old Collie called Jill, and as he went back up the ladder, near

:09:50.:09:59.

the top, he lost consciousness and fell into the tank. Nevin went in

:09:59.:10:02.

after him and was also succumbed by the slurry fumes. Noel tried to

:10:02.:10:07.

save his two sons but he same fate befell him. The emergency services

:10:07.:10:10.

were called and friends, neighbours and family members, including

:10:10.:10:16.

Noel's wife, Essie, all tried to get the men out of the tank. Emma

:10:16.:10:20.

then went into the pit and managed to pull her father out. She then

:10:20.:10:23.

went back in and passed out holding onto her brother, Graham. A

:10:23.:10:27.

neighbour rescued her. Noel and Nevin were pronounced dead at the

:10:27.:10:33.

scene and Graham at the hospital. After Emma's statement was read out,

:10:33.:10:41.

the coroner, John Leckey, asked her how her health was. She said she

:10:41.:10:45.

suffered pains but as her father used to say, they are far from her

:10:45.:10:48.

heart. He asked her did she realise how dangerous her actions were. She

:10:48.:10:51.

replied yes. But when it comes to the love of your family. Emma's mum,

:10:51.:10:54.

Ismy, sister, Laura, and Graham's wife, Andrea, were there for the

:10:54.:10:56.

hearing, which also heard evidence from members of the emergency

:10:57.:11:02.

services. Mr Leckey commended all those who tried to help save the

:11:02.:11:12.
:11:12.:11:12.

men for their bravery. The inquest is due to finish tomorrow. Lots

:11:12.:11:19.

more to come on BBC Newsline this evening. A report from Ballymena...

:11:19.:11:24.

The red carpet has been rolled out in Ballymena for the visit of the

:11:24.:11:28.

town's most famous son. I will have all the details on this very

:11:28.:11:34.

special award later. It will soon be a decade since disability

:11:34.:11:40.

legislation came into force. But it appears it has failed to deliver

:11:40.:11:43.

all that was hoped for. While new buildings must incorporate

:11:43.:11:45.

wheelchair access, there are still many areas where people with a

:11:45.:11:52.

disability face great difficulties. Mervyn Jess has met a man in County

:11:52.:12:01.

Down trying to deal with something that for others is routine. Nobody

:12:01.:12:06.

likes going out in the wind and rain. But Michael Hohnen has little

:12:06.:12:11.

choice. He needs to lodge money in his local bank. But it's not that

:12:11.:12:15.

simple. Michael suffers from motor neurone disease and needs a

:12:15.:12:20.

wheelchair to get about. I would like to visit the branch today so I

:12:20.:12:25.

would like them to blot out the disabled ramp. His dearest bank has

but there is lot of work to do. example, if somebody without a

bends, therefore you should not ask someone with a disability to do

that. Having experienced being fully active and being in a wager,

I am determined that someone should here of the difficulties that we

points out that the work required to make each location wheelchair

permission is required. Some other news in brief now. Police in

:14:08.:14:10.

Londonderry are investigating arson attacks on vans owned by the

:14:10.:14:19.

property maintenance company Omega. Three vehicles were burnt outside

:14:19.:14:21.

private homes after workers began removing graffiti from the Derry

:14:21.:14:24.

walls overlooking the Bogside. Sinn Fein claim dissident republicans

:14:24.:14:26.

threatened the workers. They've called on those responsible to

:14:26.:14:31.

explain their actions to the wider community. The actor Stephen Rea

:14:31.:14:34.

has carried the coffin of his ex- wife, Dolours Price, at her funeral

:14:34.:14:39.

in West Belfast. Price, who was jailed for her part in the IRA

:14:39.:14:44.

bombing of the Old Bailey in 1973, died on Wednesday. The police have

:14:44.:14:47.

been involved in a legal process in the United States to seize

:14:47.:14:53.

interviews she gave about her time in the IRA. Among the mourners

:14:53.:14:59.

today was the prominent dissident republican Colin Duffy. Last week

:14:59.:15:03.

on the programme we introduced you to David Haddock, who has had seven

:15:03.:15:09.

operations cancelled in seven months. When he was a child, a

:15:09.:15:12.

house fire which killed his mother and grandmother left the Belfast

:15:12.:15:16.

man severely burned. He also has learning difficulties. There were

:15:16.:15:20.

developments after his story was broadcast on Newsline. Marie-Louise

:15:20.:15:30.

Connolly has the update. David Haddock's hospital bag has been

:15:30.:15:34.

packed and ready to go since August. But since then his operation has

:15:34.:15:37.

been cancelled seven times after more urgent cases were given his

:15:37.:15:41.

hospital bed. But after the BBC broadcast his story on Thursday,

:15:41.:15:51.
:15:51.:15:53.

the following day the operation was rescheduled for a week's time.

:15:53.:16:03.
:16:03.:16:06.

was good news. I had a phone call Last week the family revealed

:16:06.:16:08.

numerous letters from the Belfast Trust which scheduled operations

:16:08.:16:17.

and were later cancelled. David has had a hard time. When he was three

:16:17.:16:21.

years old he was involved in a house fire which killed his mum,

:16:21.:16:23.

granny and left him severely burned and disfigured. As well as

:16:23.:16:26.

reshaping his face, he's hoping the operation will ease some of his

:16:26.:16:35.

pain. My nose and my lips and my cheek. While some members of the

:16:36.:16:38.

family welcome the news, others remain sceptical that it will

:16:38.:16:47.

actually go ahead on Thursday. though the hospital has reassured

:16:47.:16:51.

may that this isn't going to happen because this was ordered by the

:16:51.:16:55.

management, I still have the back of my mind that the call welcome.

:16:55.:16:58.

While the Health Board says the number of operations cancelled last

:16:58.:17:00.

year represents around 1.4% of all operations performed here,

:17:00.:17:03.

according to David's family, no one, let alone someone with learning

:17:03.:17:05.

difficulties, should have to experience that disappointment

:17:05.:17:15.
:17:15.:17:15.

seven times. We'll let you know how David gets on. Now to Liam Neeson,

:17:15.:17:19.

a man used to receiving international movie awards. Today

:17:19.:17:24.

he received an unusual honour. I don't know if he has any sheep but

:17:24.:17:29.

he's now allowed to drive a flock through his hometown of Ballymena.

:17:29.:17:32.

It's one of the privileges bestowed on him today along with the freedom

:17:32.:17:37.

of the town. And, as you would expect with a Hollywood star, there

:17:37.:17:39.

was plenty of flash photography at the ceremony. Our reporter Natasha

:17:39.:17:46.

Sayee was there for BBC Newsline. The centre is buzzing at the town's

:17:46.:17:51.

most famous son celebrates his award. He says he is privileged and

:17:51.:17:57.

will always be mad to 9.9% Ballymena. That comment will have

:17:57.:18:00.

thrilled the hundreds of fans who gathered outside in the cold to

:18:01.:18:06.

catch a glimpse of the actor known fondly as the big man. They queued

:18:06.:18:11.

from early this morning to see that Ballymena boy turned superstar.

:18:11.:18:17.

This is a chance to get to see him. We have been in Ballymena sense 8

:18:17.:18:23.

o'clock in the morning. We would have been here no match of the

:18:23.:18:31.

weather. The Oscar nominee known best for his roles as Oscar show

:18:31.:18:37.

under, Rob Roy and the action hero in the taken movies has inspired

:18:37.:18:42.

actors around the world, not least those from his old school.

:18:42.:18:46.

naturalism he brings to characters and high real he can get into the

:18:46.:18:50.

character, you know the difference between him and the actor -- and

:18:51.:18:57.

the character. He came from such a small town and to become so just --

:18:57.:19:03.

such a big star, that is amazing. A-day and celebration and the

:19:03.:19:06.

stature as Liam Neeson received the accolade from his former bus at the

:19:06.:19:11.

Guinness factory where he wants worked. Another wonderful day for

:19:11.:19:15.

Ballymena, one that has focused the eyes of the world's media on us for

:19:15.:19:21.

the right reasons. We applaud too, be where she continued success and

:19:21.:19:26.

they will enjoy watching you grow from strength to strength and to

:19:26.:19:31.

quote a very well-known actor, may the Force be with you. Now a proud

:19:31.:19:35.

Freeman of the burner, he said he would use this to a bit to promote

:19:35.:19:40.

his home town. I am aware of the work the area has been doing.

:19:40.:19:45.

Coming out of the dark as, as we all have, and hopefully we have

:19:45.:19:51.

left that behind us. These are new days, New Times, and I am just

:19:51.:19:55.

privileged to receive this. In the past few weeks we have seen some

:19:55.:20:00.

pretty negative issues -- images of Northern Ireland. How do you feel?

:20:01.:20:06.

I have seen very little in the American press. The images I have

:20:06.:20:11.

seen, there are always a few cowboys and it seems to be very

:20:11.:20:20.

content. You know? The people of Northern Ireland's have voted 100%

:20:20.:20:26.

for pace and it is going to happen. What does it mean for the new free

:20:26.:20:32.

man to be born in Ballymena? In a very fundamental way, I have a work

:20:32.:20:37.

ethic that I got from Ballymena. From the people, from my teachers.

:20:37.:20:45.

PJ included. I am very proud of that. After accepting the award,

:20:45.:20:47.

the movie-star was treated to a special dinner which he enjoyed

:20:47.:20:52.

with local dignitaries, family and friends. As the celebrations wrap

:20:52.:20:56.

up, it is at clear Way and Liam Neeson a return home again. He has

:20:56.:21:01.

said he would like to go back to Belfast and tread the boards at the

:21:01.:21:05.

Lyric theatre. But as for the notion of them playing the big man

:21:05.:21:08.

in a movie? The actor has said he would think about it if he was
