:02:14. > :02:19.Maghaberry Prison was built to hold Northern Ireland's most dangerous
:02:20. > :02:24.criminals. But the prison itself is now considered a dangerous place.
:02:25. > :02:28.We inspect about 40 prisons a year and I have been doing it for five
:02:29. > :02:34.years. This is the most dangerous prison I have been into throughout
:02:35. > :02:37.my time as chief inspector. There have been many reports
:02:38. > :02:42.criticising prisons here but none quite like this one.
:02:43. > :02:50.This inspection of ten won carried out in May 2015 was undoubtedly the
:02:51. > :02:53.most concerning of all the reports published to date of any local
:02:54. > :02:57.prison. A team of more than 20 inspectors
:02:58. > :03:02.spent two weeks in Maghaberry Prison in May and they assess the prison's
:03:03. > :03:07.performance against for internationally recognised criteria.
:03:08. > :03:11.In three areas, safety, respect, and activity, they described performance
:03:12. > :03:17.as poor. The lowest possible ranking. When it came to the fourth

:03:42. > :03:42.at Maghaberry Prison. The gunmen's Chief Inspector of Prisons does not

:03:55. > :03:58.The justice minister said he only had time for a limited number of
:03:59. > :04:05.questions about the report. This was his response to a BBC does not
:04:06. > :04:09.report. The report criticised leadership of
:04:10. > :04:13.Maghaberry Prison in May this year. The director-general has a fresh and
:04:14. > :04:17.strengthened the leadership team in the prison and that is the team
:04:18. > :04:19.which is now delivering significant improvements. That is the important
:04:20. > :04:26.thing to focus on. They are not bringing in
:04:27. > :04:31.improvements? Should you resign possibly? Is that on your mind?
:04:32. > :04:35.You were told that I had time for two questions then I had to see the
:04:36. > :04:39.Secretary of State. That is the position. I will certainly not be
:04:40. > :04:42.resigning while I lead the important reform programme.
:04:43. > :04:48.These vectors are highly critical of the resume. They are held here in
:04:49. > :04:54.row house, a separate unit within the prison. They account for just 5%
:04:55. > :04:58.of the total prison population but are much greater proportion of
:04:59. > :05:02.resources. The report says giving preference to contain the resume for
:05:03. > :05:16.separate prisoners over every other area in the prison is unfair...
:05:17. > :05:24.There are harsh words about health care was in the prison. Concerns are
:05:25. > :05:27.shared by this protest who served 17 months in Maghaberry Prison. He
:05:28. > :05:30.suffered from a rare condition which means his jaw did not grow normally
:05:31. > :05:35.and says he did not receive proper treatment.
:05:36. > :05:41.I was in the cell 20 47 just to soar. Because the doctors did not
:05:42. > :05:45.seem to understand they just kept putting my medication up and up and
:05:46. > :05:49.up to the point where I was just sleeping 18 hours a day.
:05:50. > :05:54.Improvements to the prison buildings are currently taking place but
:05:55. > :05:58.bricks and mortar won't fix the problems identified in this report.

:06:07. > :06:13.She is with me. How do you defend your leadership after hearing about
:06:14. > :06:17.that? That damning report. I'm certainly not going to defend
:06:18. > :06:23.the performance of Maghaberry Prison in May when the inspectors visited
:06:24. > :06:27.will stop what they found was not a surprise to me and to my senior
:06:28. > :06:32.colleagues. We were addressing the deficiencies that we had identified
:06:33. > :06:35.and that is really, I think, what underpinned the very difficult
:06:36. > :06:39.relationship between local management and the senior leadership
:06:40. > :06:42.of the service. You were addressing issues but
:06:43. > :06:46.actually the report is damning of your leadership and the local
:06:47. > :06:51.leadership. In the jail it is not just about the issues that you were
:06:52. > :06:56.trying to address,... That report is not damning of my
:06:57. > :07:03.leadership. That report specifically criticises local leadership.
:07:04. > :07:07.Sorry to interrupt you but I want to explain. The benefit of our viewers.
:07:08. > :07:10.It says the report and the independent inspection has revealed
:07:11. > :07:14.significant values and local leadership, as you have said,
:07:15. > :07:19.combined with the ineffective relationship with senior management
:07:20. > :07:23.within the prison service. That has contributed to the prison becoming
:07:24. > :07:26.unsafe and unstable. Are you distancing yourself from any
:07:27. > :07:30.responsibility that? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. But
:07:31. > :07:34.the causation I have had since with Brendan Grogan confirmed that he
:07:35. > :07:39.absolutely gets that I am the right person to lead this service. Above
:07:40. > :07:43.is not the right person to lead the service I would not be here. I knew
:07:44. > :07:48.when I do this job on that it was a challenging job and everybody
:07:49. > :07:50.acknowledges that this is a very complex service. Maghaberry Prison
:07:51. > :07:53.is a very complex prison and you would not expected to reform the
:07:54. > :07:57.servers overnight. I'm here to finish the job that I started.
:07:58. > :08:03.You're been in the position since 2012 if I'm correct. Though where
:08:04. > :08:10.improvement is in a previous report but it has now deteriorated to be
:08:11. > :08:13.the worst prison in Europe. There was significant improvement at
:08:14. > :08:19.Maghaberry Prison and over a period of about 12 months there was
:08:20. > :08:23.deterioration and that was about the capability and capacity of the local
:08:24. > :08:27.leadership which we have now changed. And we're now seeing the
:08:28. > :08:32.impact of having a really capable, strong, effective, if the black
:08:33. > :08:38.experienced governor. This has all happened under your
:08:39. > :08:41.watch in the past three years. This unscheduled inspection happened in
:08:42. > :08:45.May this year. Things are not going to happen overnight but under your
:08:46. > :08:48.watch you have seen that deterioration. Why are you still in
:08:49. > :08:54.your job? I have overseen significant
:08:55. > :08:57.improvements with the service acknowledged by the Minister, by the
:08:58. > :09:01.independent oversight panel which includes the chief inspector of
:09:02. > :09:04.criminal justice, there is much work left to do and I think I am the
:09:05. > :09:09.right person to lead that would be a bishop point of no return. This is a
:09:10. > :09:12.huge, huge reform programme and you would not expected to be delivered
:09:13. > :09:17.quickly. But since 2012 only 16 of the 93
:09:18. > :09:22.recommendations made in a previous report been achieved in full. 16 out
:09:23. > :09:30.of 93! The report which is what has
:09:31. > :09:33.informed our programme had 40 strategic recommendations delivered
:09:34. > :09:40.35 of those recommendations. They've been signed up as delivered. There
:09:41. > :09:45.was still work left. In full or in part? In full.
:09:46. > :09:49.Some of the rest depend on finance being made available and some will
:09:50. > :09:55.just take more time but I believe that we are on the way to reform,
:09:56. > :09:57.that is acknowledged by many of our external stakeholders and I believe
:09:58. > :09:59.that I'm the right person to lead the service.
:10:00. > :10:02.A complaint has been made to the police about the
:10:03. > :10:05.First Minister Peter Robinson in relation to remarks he made
:10:06. > :10:09.Lawyers acting for the Belfast businessman Peter Curistan allege
:10:10. > :10:10.there are grounds for an investigation.
:10:11. > :10:19.Here's our business correspondent Julian O'Neill.
:10:20. > :10:24.Peter Curistan accompanied by his lawyer called at the police
:10:25. > :10:28.headquarters this afternoon and handed in a statement of complaint.
:10:29. > :10:33.It calls for Peter Robinson to be investigated and veg in what is
:10:34. > :10:37.termed misfeasance in public office. It all goes back to 2006 and
:10:38. > :10:43.damaging remarks made by Mr Robinson as an MP in regard to Peter
:10:44. > :10:47.Curistan's business interests as a developer.
:10:48. > :10:51.Will the Secretary of State when he's winding up in this debate
:10:52. > :10:55.ensure that the activities of the Sheraton group and its association
:10:56. > :10:58.with the IRA's dirty money are fully investigated and Willie guarantee
:10:59. > :11:03.that no further public money is challenged in their direction until,
:11:04. > :11:06.if ever, they get a clean bill of health?
:11:07. > :11:11.Peter Curistan has always rejected the claim and in the intervening
:11:12. > :11:15.years a High Court judge said he was entirely innocent of the allegation.
:11:16. > :11:20.But his lawyer says his business life never recovered.
:11:21. > :11:25.It remains very much a part of his life. And even though Mr Robinson
:11:26. > :11:28.said those words in Parliament the vast bulk of the damage to Peter
:11:29. > :11:33.Curistan card in this jurisdiction and that is why we are engaging the
:11:34. > :11:38.Chief Constable with our complaints. Peter Curistan was the developer
:11:39. > :11:43.behind the Odyssey and a top QC has now told his legal team that
:11:44. > :11:46.parliamentary privilege while covering defamation actions does not
:11:47. > :11:50.extend to an allegation of a criminal offence.
:11:51. > :11:56.Mr Robinson has been invited on a number of occasions to come out into
:11:57. > :11:59.the public arena without the protection of parliamentary
:12:00. > :12:05.privilege and repeated claims and put up or shut up in terms of
:12:06. > :12:07.evidence against Peter Curistan. In the intervening years he has never
:12:08. > :12:11.once done either of those two things.
:12:12. > :12:16.In response, the DUP issued a statement on the half of the First
:12:17. > :12:18.Minister. It said the police may have to waste their time on the
:12:19. > :12:25.complaint but Mr Robinson does not. A public warning notice has been
:12:26. > :12:28.added to an art exhibition at the Ulster Museum in Belfast following
:12:29. > :12:31.a claim that one of the paintings The painting, entitled
:12:32. > :12:33."Christian Flautists Outside St Patrick's," is by the artist Joseph
:12:34. > :12:35.McWilliams, who died recently. The DUP
:12:36. > :12:37.and TUV have demanded its removal. But, as our arts correspondent
:12:38. > :12:53.Robbie Meredith reports, It was a controversial parade and
:12:54. > :12:59.now this representation of it is also making waves. Because of these
:13:00. > :13:02.five figures. The artist has painted some of the Orangemen accompanying
:13:03. > :13:08.the band in what appeared to be Ku Klux Klan masks. The Royal Ulster
:13:09. > :13:12.Academy says artist should be free to express what they want but the
:13:13. > :13:16.museum had put a warning sign up for visitors. Many people have come to
:13:17. > :13:21.view the painting today. I think it is a tremendous painting.
:13:22. > :13:24.And it is giving me a great deal of difficulty finding the controversial
:13:25. > :13:28.part of that painting. I don't think it should come down
:13:29. > :13:31.because of feel like art is really open to interpretation and it can be
:13:32. > :13:35.provocative. I think it is a beautiful painting.
:13:36. > :13:41.The movement captured with the band moving at the bottom.
:13:42. > :13:44.But the DUP have condemned the painting. The Orange Order say they
:13:45. > :13:49.don't want it to be removed. We are not calling for this painting
:13:50. > :13:53.to be taken down four. This is not about censorship but this is about
:13:54. > :13:57.acknowledging the fact that it is offensive to our organisation and
:13:58. > :13:59.membership. We are going see the painting
:14:00. > :14:03.yourself? I will make a point of going into
:14:04. > :14:08.Cor. They did is good to see it in its own environment.
:14:09. > :14:11.This curator of a gallery that regularly holds exhibitions says the
:14:12. > :14:17.painting is doing its job. It's intended to provoke a stimulate
:14:18. > :14:23.debate and illustrate ways of seeing things. This series we have got on
:14:24. > :14:26.now, if there has been work that hasn't wouldn't have offended
:14:27. > :14:29.someone, we're doing our jobs wrong.
:14:30. > :14:33.The painting has already been sold to a private collector but it will
:14:34. > :14:36.hang here at the Ulster Museum until mid-January. The irony is that the
:14:37. > :14:40.publicity around it will undoubtedly mean that many more people will now
:14:41. > :14:44.The Culture Minister Caral Ni Chuilin from Sinn Fein has told
:14:45. > :14:49.a DUP Assembly member that he's a disgrace, claiming he accused her
:14:50. > :14:51.The clash happened during a fractious committee meeting
:14:52. > :14:54.at Stormont when she was accused of ignoring unionist areas for funding.

:14:59. > :15:06.The arts community wrote the fight against cuts right to the
:15:07. > :15:10.Minister's door this week. Caral Ni Chuilin invited them inside so she
:15:11. > :15:15.could hear their case in person. She faced an even more hostile audience
:15:16. > :15:20.today. Unionists have accused her of diverting arts funding into pet
:15:21. > :15:25.projects such as the west Belfast Festival and the Irish language.
:15:26. > :15:31.In terms of the money being shifted across, is that the case of
:15:32. > :15:36.re-prioritising? First of all, your premise is wrong.
:15:37. > :15:40.There is Tory this territory. Could I finished answering my
:15:41. > :15:46.question please could I finished answering my question, please.
:15:47. > :15:51.-- Tory austerities. I did not say there was not Tory austerities.
:15:52. > :15:55.It is a pity I couldn't put words in your mouth.
:15:56. > :16:02.A bit more respect from you. It is demeaning and grading for you
:16:03. > :16:05.to behave in that manner. She listed a series of rural areas
:16:06. > :16:11.which had also received funding. This is what followed.
:16:12. > :16:16.You didn't touch on many Unionist areas there, I noticed. Is that the
:16:17. > :16:20.Minister's priority? I think that's a complete disgrace.
:16:21. > :16:24.I think it's an absolute disgrace that you have accused me of being
:16:25. > :16:28.sectarian. As the session drew to a close the
:16:29. > :16:33.minister seemed to determine to have the last laugh.
:16:34. > :16:38.I think that is disgraceful. I am glad you agree that there is Tory
:16:39. > :16:42.austerities. I would love some of the money they're spending on
:16:43. > :16:54.trading to be in the arts. Even with one fifth of a percentage.

:21:20. > :21:24.you think about it? Is actually very good value more although it adds
:21:25. > :21:28.up. It is challenging debate. We're very lucky that our employers
:21:29. > :21:35.supports the childcare vouchers which means that we can get tax-free
:21:36. > :21:42.an element of that and indeed national insurance contributions are
:21:43. > :21:52.encountered. That makes it much easier for us to manage. I think we
:21:53. > :21:55.would survive if we had to. If we did not have the assistance.
:21:56. > :22:00.Because, at the end of the day, I don't think we could afford for me
:22:01. > :22:03.not to work. I think it would make things very tough.

:22:15. > :22:17.This service direct survey has confirmed what a lot of working
:22:18. > :22:20.parents already know. Childcare is expensive. If bat that summer using
:22:21. > :22:25.credit cards payday loans to pay for it, that is worrying?
:22:26. > :22:30.Very concerning that are happy to admit having to rely on other means.
:22:31. > :22:32.This is the 60 we have done the survey and every year parents are
:22:33. > :22:36.struggling to meet that course. What can these are kids do to help
:22:37. > :22:39.parents? There is a childcare strategy out
:22:40. > :22:42.for consultation at the minimum that will help. What we're asking for in
:22:43. > :22:46.that strategy targeted investment in making sure that every single parent
:22:47. > :22:51.knows what they are entitled to a concert of childcare.
:22:52. > :22:54.Surely it makes sense that if parents are entitled to benefits
:22:55. > :23:03.they need to know that? Absolutely. The Government has been
:23:04. > :23:07.clear that they know this is an issue. Childcare is expensive and we
:23:08. > :23:10.want to do every thing that we can to help and support parents with the
:23:11. > :23:19.costs of that. 80 months ago got a website up and running. We would
:23:20. > :23:22.encourage parents to go on now am to see what help and support is
:23:23. > :23:24.available. Giving the constraints the
:23:25. > :23:26.department is working under, is that extra money in the budget for
:23:27. > :23:31.parents? The offices doesn't actually a
:23:32. > :23:33.policy responsibility for childcare but in the absence of another
:23:34. > :23:37.department doing that we stepped up to the mark and two on this
:23:38. > :23:41.initiative and we are redeveloping that strategy. The strategy is out
:23:42. > :23:44.for consultation and their 22 key actions within that. We also secured
:23:45. > :23:51.additional money. Of 12 marine pounds ring fenced to send the Mac
:23:52. > :23:55.set up a centre. We're entering a budget negotiation very shortly and
:23:56. > :23:57.we will be fighting to ensure that there are elements that are
:23:58. > :24:01.supported childcare strategy. Hankey for joining me. We would love

:24:42. > :24:45.back, he ended up playing in this year's World Cup.
:24:46. > :24:49.The first couple of weeks rugby was on the back burner. There was a safe
:24:50. > :24:54.and I thought I would not come back but then I suppose as your girls
:24:55. > :24:58.changing you realise you can get a sniff of something you really want,
:24:59. > :25:02.I was in the World Cup four years ago but I was on stand-by, so for me
:25:03. > :25:06.this was not just the guts of four months, it has been the making of a
:25:07. > :25:10.few years on just a few years just alighted read part of that squad,
:25:11. > :25:14.especially such a competitive squad at the World Cup but obviously it is
:25:15. > :25:19.nice to be back on Ulster duties as well.
:25:20. > :25:22.Even a seasoned pro has to adjust from international rugby.
:25:23. > :25:26.I think it is very difficult. When you been away because the same sort
:25:27. > :25:32.of thing. This is twice the length of the six Nations so you are
:25:33. > :25:37.switching systems back into Ulster duty so it will be difficult for
:25:38. > :25:44.some people but hopefully last week I got on for 30 minutes and I try to
:25:45. > :25:47.fit in as quickly as I could. Hopefully this again well.
:25:48. > :25:51.After a remarkable year on the comeback trail at international
:25:52. > :26:03.level, it is now also's turned to benefit from Chris Henry. There are
:26:04. > :26:10.certain moments that can prove difficult to capture on film.
