Cameron is still on his feet giving details of the deal in Brussels. You

A short time ago, politicians in Brussels gave their unanimous

support for special status for the UK in the European Union.

David Cameron says he will put the deal to his Cabinet tomorrow.

That would pave the way for an in/out referendum

which will have a profound effect here.

Mark Simpson has been gauging the opinion of people

Events tonight in Brussels will soon have an impact 5000 miles away in

Brussels. People will have to make a decision about whether to stay in

the European Union but it is clear that people have made up their

minds. What do you think? I think we should

go. I think we should stay in Europe

because of how much trade and also for travelling and because of the

Republic getting up and down to down south is going to be a nightmare.

It will not really affect me that much, not really.

Do you care? I am going to Australia, so I do not

care. Here is the reason why many do care,

money. This new innovation Centre in West Belfast will open soon to try

to kick start the local economy. It cost ?9 million, but the majority of

it came from the European regional to the fund. The question is, with a

project like this have been possible without a European funding. Some

very much doubt it, others believe it would have been possible. The UK

would save so much money by not having to pay into the EU there

would be plenty left over for initiatives like this. So who is

correct and who is wrong? The DUP remain sceptical about the European

Union, they have said that the numbers do not add up.

For every ?1 we get in Northern Ireland for projects like that, we

are paying in ?1 50. It is not a great deal. Sinn Fein

have said quitting Europe would be expensive and a mistake.

In isolation it may be a good idea for little Englanders, but for us in

Northern Ireland, it is not good. Should we stay or go? Opinion is

divided, but the debate is only just beginning. Mark Simpson, BBC

requirements for disposal of a body in such circumstances the Department

of Justice had dealt with it. In a statement, his victims family

expressed their feelings and how It was handled with respect and

dignity and I think the authorities did well. I am very pleased about

how they handled it. We would now say it is over. We knew that he

would never be out of jail again and that he would never harm another

little girl, we knew that, but I think it is the end of it. And that

is a relief. This is a dam near Hillsborough

where his victims body She was buried a few miles

from here by her family. Now nearly 35 years later,

the killer's ashes have been disposal by the government

at an unknown location. In the words of the prison service,

they were scattered at sea without ceremony
