it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening. There were heated exchanges during an emergency debate | :00:07. | :00:15. | |
at the Assembly this afternoon. It was called in the wake of the On The | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
Runs crisis. A motion of disgust was proposed by the First Minister, | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Peter Robinson, after nearly 200 letters were issued to republicans | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
classified as on the run - assuring them that the police were not | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
seeking to arrest them. Here's our Political Correspondent, Martina | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Purdy. Sinn Fein was on the sides of the dams who round in the party | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
outside a news conference accusing republicans of running away. The | :00:42. | :00:50. | |
innocent victims have been kicked to the curb. We made the ultimate | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
sacrifice, our loved ones were murdered, these two girls had loved | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
ones murdered. What more can the innocent victims give? Inside the | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
chamber, the First Minister accused the Government of keeping him in the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
dark about the On the Run scheme and focused on the inquiry he had been | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
promised. It is essential we get at the truth of all that went on in | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
order to restore the public confidence that has been so damaged | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
by this murky deal. Across the chamber, the Deputy First Minister | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
attacked his power-sharing partner over his threat to quit. It is knee | :01:31. | :01:40. | |
jerk politics. I believe we need to move quickly, we'd better start | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
grappling with the new issues, not manufactured ones. As for the Ulster | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Unionist leader, he said he had little faith in the inquiry and it | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
is time for others to tell the truth about what he called dirty deals. If | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
there have been more dirty deals, tell us now. Tell us now, because we | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
took risks for peace. Sinn Fein and others just took and continue to | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
take and the Ulster Unionist Party says this in conclusion - enough is | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
enough. The SDLP likened the First Minister to the Grand Old Duke of | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
York, while another leader mocked his decision not to resign. -- the | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
TUV reader. -- leader. It is a farce, it is a Whitewash, and as for | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
the demand that the letters should be rescinded, well, Mrs Foster, I | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
think she was on the run herself. After saying that rescinding was a | :02:36. | :02:47. | |
resigning issue. Now we find all the Secretary of State had to do was | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
repeat what is in the letters already. I find it beneath contempt | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
that you are like me to and on the run. The second point, a victim of | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
IRA violence is on the run, apparently. The DUP motion calling | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
on the government to take swift action to read the old confidence | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
was backed by 58 votes to 27 votes. A pipebomb has been found on the | :03:11. | :03:20. | |
outskirts of Londonderry. The alert centred on the Braehead Road, close | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
to the border with Donegal. A controlled explosion was carried out | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
and a number of items taken away for further examination. A former bank | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
manager, a solicitor and an estate agent have been jailed for their | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
part in a mortgage fraud and money-laundering operation in South | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
Armagh and County Louth which involved millions of pounds. Here's | :03:37. | :03:45. | |
Gordon Adair. Damian Mallon, a crooked estate agent, Pater Brassil, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
a crooked solicitor with a cocaine habit and Peter Creegan, a crooked | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
bank manager. -- Peter. They were the fraud of equivalent of a perfect | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
storm. Damian Mallon was a financial adviser, Peter Creegan was manager | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
of this bank in Newry and Peter Brassil worked for a law firm. They | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
began to apply for and facilitate mortgages across the country. At a | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
glance, all the necessary arrangements seem to be in place, | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
but the mortgages were fake and the borrowers were either completely | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
fictional or were unsuspecting innocents whose identification was | :04:22. | :04:34. | |
stolen and used by the gang. This is the village of Omeath in County | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
Louth and at the height of the boom, it was one of those places which had | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
something about it, property prices seem to be going up day on day, new | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
developments like this one were springing up at an incredible rate, | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
and with all that money sloshing around, it was the sort of place | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
where the trio operated. They arranged a mortgage, supposedly for | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
a client in North America, to buy this end terrace house for 180,000 | :05:00. | :05:09. | |
euros. It was one of many properties bought which were fraudulent. This | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
piece of land was mortgaged to the tune of one and a quarter million | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
euros. Its actual value is around 40,000 euros. This is common in | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
mortgage fraud. It gives the fraudsters an immediate surplus and | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
allows them to launder more money in less time. The police have refused | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
to speculate on just whose money the trio may have been laundering, but | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
when I suggested it could have been the profits from oil or cigarette | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
smuggling, a source close to the investigation said that seemed a | :05:45. | :05:55. | |
reasonable proposition. There are two things. There is greed at the | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
heart of this, a lot of greed. Secondly, these are money-laundering | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
offences. These loans were fronted to launder money, it is criminal | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
property and I think it is a good result today to show that you cannot | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
get away with defrauding both the bank and victims. The Chief | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
Inspector said he understood the bank had taken steps to prevent any | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
repeat of this situation. A convicted paedophile who had been | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
living in Lurgan has been sentenced to three years in prison. The man | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
pleaded guilty to the sexual assault of a young girl in Lurgan last year. | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
Claire Savage reports. 42-year-old David Page, whose address was given | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
in Belfast, but who had been living for some time in Albert Street in | :06:48. | :06:49. | |
Lurgan, sexually assaulted a young girl. He also breached a sexual | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
offences order and his probation. He refused to come out of his cell | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
today, so we judge said he would sentence in his absence. The court | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
heard his victim had been walking to a friends house when the attack | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
happened one afternoon last May. Page stopped outside his home and | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
brought inside. He started to kiss on the lips using his hand, he | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
touched on the stomach, knee and back. When the six road wanted to | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
leave, he shouted at her and warned her not to tell her parents. In | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
court, a statement by the victim 's mother was referred to. She said her | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
daughter had gone from being a happy-go-lucky to an angry girl. She | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
blamed herself that she had gone into his house. Described as a | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
persistent offender, the hearing heard he committed a string of sex | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
offences since 1991. The most serious crime was raped, for which | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
he was sentenced to seven years in 1987. Today, the judge sentenced him | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
to three years in prison. In rugby, Tommy Bowe marked his return to the | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
Ulster team tonight by crossing the line twice in a five-try victory | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
over the Dragons. The Pro12 League clash finished 38-8 at Ravenhill. | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
Ruan Pienaar and Sean Doyle also touched down. Paddy Jackson added | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
the conversions while Pienaar also kicked a penalty, adding to the home | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
side's total. Onto the weekend weather | :08:18. | :08:17. | |
You will notice it is quite chilly at their and through the course of | :08:18. | :08:30. | |
the night we are expecting some ice to form. We have had showers today | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
because temperatures will fall to freezing and below in countryside | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
areas and there will be frost and pockets of fog around first thing | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
tomorrow. Overall, tomorrow will be disappointing to start the weekend, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
cloudy and fairly damp. Beginning the morning, the best chance of | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
brighter weather is across Antrim and County Down but the cloud will | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
not take long to reach here and elsewhere, very cloudy and damp. It | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
is disappointing across Ireland, grey and damp and the best weather | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
tomorrow across many areas of written. Brightening up nicely with | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
good spells of sunshine, although it will be a chilly start. By the | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
afternoon, temperatures into double figures in the South East. West of | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
that will stay on settled and we have this band of rain stretching | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
across Ulster and into contact. During the afternoon, that will will | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
spread eastwards, not reaching the East Coast of Al fast until six | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
o'clock but eventually it will do so, giving us a wet end to the day. | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Temperatures at six degrees, dine on what they should be. It will feel | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
quite cold. That rim of clear and temperatures will fall back, so it | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
chilly, frosty start for some of us on Sunday, it is the best in the | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
morning and eventually it will cloud over once again through the day. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
More rain is on the way although that will clear into next week. We | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
are expecting another unsettled outlook. That's it. You can keep | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
