Cross-community tributes have been paid to the two nuns | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
from north Belfast who died in a road crash near Newry this morning. | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The Sisters of Mercy were travelling to join others from the order | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
at the Dromantine Retreat and Conference Centre when their car was | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Three officers suffered minor injuries. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
The life of dedication ended in tragedy. | :00:23. | :00:38. | |
Woman-macro, a published author, and Sister Frances Forde, a retired | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
school principal, were on their way to a conference. -- Sister Marie | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Duddy. Both were killed. Three police | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
officers in the other car escaped without injury. What exactly | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
happened is at the centre of the police and released ombudsman's | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
investigation. We need to piece together exactly what happened, and | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
one of the ways we do that is by speaking to people who saw or heard | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
what happened. We would ask anybody who has anything to offer us by way | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
of witness information to contact us. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
The nuns were part of the Sisters of Mercy order and lived in North | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Belfast. They were both well-known throughout | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
the community from the work in education through to Sister Marie's | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
work in interfaith dialogue. They were very well known in north | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Belfast where they lived on the Crumlin Road, and the News of the | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
sisters' death today is just devastating. I knew them over many | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
years, they were gracious, well -- and with real charisma. That unusual | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
mix of gifts is why there will be so missed over and above the work they | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
were doing. -- they will be so missed. | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
As tributes are paid, there have been calls to avoid tragedies like | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
this by openly signposting and underpass which allows motorists to | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
get to the other side of the road without crossing the main | :02:16. | :02:16. | |
carriageway. Investigations into allegations | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
of serious criminal behaviour by the police in Troubles murders are | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
going to be delayed because of cuts And the PSNI says that because | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
of a reduction in its budget, it's having to shut | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
down the Historical Enquiries Team. Here's our home affairs | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
correspondent, Vincent Kearney. Kingsmill 's, January 1976. Ten | :02:32. | :02:46. | |
Protestant workers were shot dead by the IRA. The Police Ombudsman was | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
due to investigate claims that police may have been able to prevent | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
the attack but didn't do so in order to protect an informer. But that | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
investigation is one of the case is now delayed because of budget cuts. | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
Hit 18 times, Alan Black survived, while Karen Armstrong's brother was | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
one of those killed. It beggars belief that after 39 years, within | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
touching distance of getting a proper investigation, it is snatched | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
away on the excuse of money. Money should be put into the ombudsman's | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
office, just shouldn't have a price type. I despair of justice in | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Northern Ireland. Murder is the ultimate crime. My brother and nine | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
others, their lives were so cruelly and viciously taken on the roadside, | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
and we have been left with that loss for 39 years and we are still | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
waiting on some justice and truth. The ombudsman faces many other | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
delays, including investigations into the murder of 12 Protestants | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
and dozens of killings by loyalists based on this farm in South Armagh. | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Inspectors today praised the work of the unborn -- of the ombudsman. He | :04:06. | :04:15. | |
has come -- terminated the contract of ten senior investigators working | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
with a unit dealing with historical investigators. A cut of 25%, | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
reducing the number from 40 to 30. We were given the resources to | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
undertake this work over a six-year period. The direct impact of the | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
cuts to the history directorate mean that it will take now at least 12 | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
years to complete the cases we have, and how we deal with additional | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
cases will be a further problem for us. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Another instrument for dealing with the past, the historic enquiries | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
team, has also suffered as a lot of cuts to the budget. The police today | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
announced that more than 300 temporary agency staff will not have | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
their contracts renewed, meaning the unit will since two operate at the | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
end of the year. -- will cease to operate. We have to deal with | :05:07. | :05:15. | |
keeping people safe today. And we will do that first before we deal | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
with elements of dealing with the past. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
The Chief Constable and Police Ombudsman both say these cuts are | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
unavoidable. They have warned that more could follow. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
The Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has refused to extend | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
a licence to allow a fracking company to test drill | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
A three-year exploration licence granted to Tamboran Resources | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
It's the second government decision to go against Tamboran. | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
Last month, the Environment Minister Mark Durkan told | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
the company it would have to make a full planning application for a | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Tamboran announced this evening it would challenge both ministers | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
Our south-west reporter Julian Fowler has been talking to | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
the Enterprise Minister about her decision. | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
Today was the deadline day for Tamboran Resources -- Tamboran to | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
make a decision to go ahead with drilling or drop its plans. In | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
August the environment Minister said they would require full planning | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
permission in order to drill a test borehole. Today the enterprise | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
minister has decided she will not extend its exploration licence. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Arlene Foster is with me. Why have you decided not to grant an | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
extension? I have to consider whether I believe that a work plan | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
would be able to complete within the time allotted to it under the | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
license, and I did believe that Boren would be able to complete | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
their work plan and therefore despite the fact they have asked for | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
an extension as they did in March, I've decided on this extension -- | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
occasion not to go ahead. They could argue it was because of the | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
environment Minister's decision not to allow the terrestrial to go | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
ahead. That is a matter of -- between the company and the | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Department of the Environment. I have to assess whether they are | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
going to comply with the licence conditions, and I don't believe they | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
would be able to do that. Is this the end of fracking in Fermanagh? | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Tamboran's licence has come to an end as of today, and it is now up to | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
them as to what action they take. I have decided that the licence will | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
not be extended. The Enterprise Minister speaking | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
earlier to our reporter A former consultant at | :07:42. | :07:42. | |
Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital's School of Dentistry has been struck | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
off the dental register A disciplinary panel found | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Professor Philip Lamey guilty of more than 100 charges of | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
malpractice between 2006 and 2010. They related to 27 patients, | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
four of whom subsequently died. Professor Lamey has 28 days to | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
appeal the decision by the General Dental Council, otherwise he will no | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
longer be able to work in dentistry. Football, and Derry City drew | :07:59. | :08:13. | |
one-all with Bray Wanderers Rory Patterson got Derry's equaliser | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
with a penalty in the second half. How's the weather looking | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
as we move into October? We had a little bit of rain for the | :08:23. | :08:36. | |
last day of the driest September on record. We back to 1910, just 6.5 | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
millimetres of rain, around 7% of the long-term average. We have a | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
batch of rain tonight pushing through into the early hours, but | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
nothing particularly heavy. Temperatures generally" is, just one | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
or two spots in the West that made it 28 or 9 degrees later in the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
night. The first day of October is looking more cheery. Some decent | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
spells of sunshine. If you are up early week and have some cloud or | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
patchy rain to get rid of, but it will move away very sharply. Quite a | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
brisk wind over Scotland, and a few showers over the four Northwest. For | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
much of England and Wales it is a cloudy affair. Maybe the odd shower | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
in the far south-east as well, but some bright spells as well. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
Temperatures into the low 20s. For Northern Ireland in behind the | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
weather from it is going to be a fresher feeling day in that westerly | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
breeze. Temperatures 14 or 15 degrees. Perhaps just the old shower | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
tickling into the north coast. Into Thursday, after a cooler night, by | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
the time we get to Friday it looks like autumn arrives properly. | :09:59. | :10:02. |
