A company working at a windfarm which was once part of Sean Quinn's | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
business empire has moved off site after receiving threats. | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
The firm's managing director has told BBC Newsline he | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
was not prepared to put his workers in danger. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
There has been a long series of attacks on businesses | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
which were once owned by Mr Quinn in Fermanagh. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
Here's our south west reporter Julian Fowler. | :00:26. | :00:38. | |
A convoy of cranes travelling on the road, away from Derrylin after a | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
threat than vehicles would be set on fire if they were not removed from | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
the wind farm. The company that bought equipment to the site to | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
manage maintenance, the managing director told the BBC he was not | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
prepared to put his work is in danger. Security was stepped up at | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
the wind farm which was one part of the business empire of Sean Quinn, | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
following threats to workers. Part of the dispute is about workers | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
rights but there's also a dispute with Sean Quinn seeking to take | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
control of the business once again. A sign on the road threat and | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
executives who now run one part of the former Quinn group. The police | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
cold it a deplorable act of into mediation against members of the | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
local business community. Police and both sides of the border are | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
investigating the incident, part of a long series of sabotage is against | :01:41. | :01:54. | |
businesses run by Sean Quinn. The chairman received a written death | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
threat on the day his wife died. Sean Quinn said he and his family | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
continue to condemn all negative activity in the area, since | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
supporting him remain. The latest threats have added to the climate of | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
fear that exists. More people are reluctant to speak out. There are | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
real concerns about the long-term impact on jobs and investment. | :02:19. | :02:29. | |
The Victims Commissioner has said more than 200,000 | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
people are suffering mental health problems because of the Troubles. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
But only 18000 have come forward to get help. | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Our Political Correspondent Enda McClafferty has been listening | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
to two people from Londonderry who are struggling to | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
Marie and Sharon are both victims of the troubles as of now become firm | :02:45. | :02:57. | |
friends after telling their stories, in a book, beyond the silence. The | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
husband of Mary is shot dead by a loyalist gunmen in 1976 as he worked | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
in a bar in Eglinton. They have seven children. I remember the night | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
he was shot, we were screaming, losing ourselves, I thought, just | :03:14. | :03:22. | |
please tell me. Sharon was 11 when her brother was | :03:23. | :03:35. | |
murdered by the IRA in 1974, tortured before his body was dumped | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
on a road. 40 years on her mother still holds onto the clothes worn by | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
her son on that day. My mother still holds onto the | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
clothes, she asked everybody to smell them, she asks, can you scared | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
of him, because I can? We tell her, we can. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Sharon says they all have mental health problems and try to move on. | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
The past, we are living it, it is a nightmare, I have said it before, | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
the person who is shot, murdered, abducted, they are dead. What about | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
the living? Because it is living a nightmare. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Sharon and Marie are by no means alone. The thick as Commissioner | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
estimates 500,000 people have been affected by the troubles, 40,000 | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
injured, 3720th families bereaved. At least 200,000 people are still | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
suffering mental trauma, yet only 18,000 of those have sought help. We | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
know that young people growing up in those communities, of the families | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
most impact, they show the highest levels of suicide, self harm, and | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
mental health problems of anywhere in the UK, and other parts of | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
Europe. The victims commissioner says time | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
is running out for politicians to reach agreement on how to deal with | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
the past. It will be back on the agenda after the election. As yet, | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
there's no indication as to how our politicians | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
there's no indication as to how our deadlock. Until | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
find their own way to deal with the past. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
ahead of next month's Assembly election. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
young people raised questions about abortion,the economy | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
They and the Good Friday generation. This is the first election in which | :05:38. | :05:53. | |
anybody born after the signing of the Belfast agreement will be able | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
to vote. Tonight they put assembly candidates in the spotlight. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Politicians often talk about how difficult it is to engage people in | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
the democratic process. But this audience of first time voters was | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
engaged and interested, and tonight they had plenty of questions. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Audience member Eva McBride from Co Armagh was interested in the | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
controversial issue of abortion. I think women should have the right | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
to decide what to do with their own bodies, and if there's something | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
wrong with a child, and they are not and have a good quality of life, why | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
put them through that? But Megan Donaldson took a different | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
view. They need to look of the fact that | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
it is murder. You are killing a child. What is the difference | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
between once a child is born and once that is inside of you? There | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
are plenty babies who live when they are born at the time when you can | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
still get an abortion. Matthew Wilson was keen to know if | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
this year's collection is going to be different? | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
At each election the votes run along the same orange versus green lines. | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
The politicians ever see an end, in the near future, to tribal politics? | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
James Milligan the near future, to tribal politics? | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
frustrated, he wants to vote, but he is not sure who to vote for -- from | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
Lisburn. Is it acceptable that a young person | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
like me voting the first time cannot find a party with voting for, that | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
makes me want to vote on them? Eight of the parties faced questions | :07:33. | :07:33. | |
tonight, the next major televised Eight of the parties faced questions | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
bait will be the leaders debate on May three. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
A detective who was in charge of the police investigation | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
into the disappearance of Arlene Arkinson has contradicted | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
part of a statement about the case by Sir Hugh Annesley. | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
The then Chief Constable had said he'd no recollection of a meeting | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
when the go ahead was given for a search of the home | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
of the Castlederg teenager's sister, Kathleen. | :07:59. | :07:59. | |
That was in 1996 two year after her sister | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
That was in 1996, two years after her sister | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
Eric Anderson was giving evidence for a second day and what would have | :08:10. | :08:21. | |
been the 37th birthday of Arlene Arkinson, he said that Sir Hugh | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Annesley given permission to the search on the basis of a tip-off | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
from the member of the public. He said he then met the Chief Constable | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
at headquarters, something that the court was told Sir Hugh Annesley had | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
no memory. He said that he had not taken the decision to search the | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
garden and house of Arlene Arkinson himself. The court was told there | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
was not a single record of that meeting. Mr Anderson told the | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
inquest that he did not strike any mood to do with any cases he was | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
involved in. -- did not destroy any notes. He said he kept note and | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
sheet of paper and handed them into the incident room. What he did | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
destroy, he said, were journals relating to his inquest continues. | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
Three people have been injured in a crash this evening in banker just | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
before 3pm It's a bit of 3pm an open | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
secret that filming instalment in the Star Wars series | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
in a county not so far, far away. Film crews are arriving | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
in County Donegal and some local people have been asked to sign | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
confidentiality agreements. Our reporter Teresa Craig has been | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
to the most northerly point of it is one of Hollywood's kiss | :09:40. | :09:51. | |
franchises and the rumour mill is an hyperdrive in Donegal, and it is all | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
rather hush-hush at the moment. You are not giving much away. | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
In the first place I do not know much about it, and what I do know | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
they have asked me to keep confidential. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
It is the arrival of trucks and an increase in action at the most | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
northerly point of Ireland that could indicate Hollywood has moved | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
in. There have been no sightings yet of Luke skywalker, Chewbacca, or | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
even the millennium falcon. That we have been told that preparations are | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
already under way over the hill, for filming in the next few weeks. Some | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
locals are describing it as the worst kept secret in Ireland. | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
It is not a maybe, they are here. There are several lorries and trucks | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
coming. We are at the start getting ready for Star Wars. | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
A number of guest houses and rental homes have already been booked out. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
There are hopes that the Hollywood blockbuster could the area on the | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
map. It will make a massive difference to tourism, in the | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
north-west. It will be bigger than people can imagine. It has often | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
been said that Star Wars is one of the great stories in cinema history. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
There is anticipation that some of the intergalactic action is coming | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
here very soon. Maybe the force be with you. | :11:28. | :11:37. | |
It is the 90th birthday of the Queen tomorrow and good morning Ulster has | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
been to a residential home to get the thoughts of residents on her | :11:48. | :11:48. | |
reaching her 90s. It is good to be chilly tonight with | :11:49. | :12:01. | |
clear skies. Temperatures falling. Perhaps not quite as low as last | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
night. Maybe five Celsius around the coast and towns, still the potential | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
to reach freezing in rural areas. A few patches of mist and fog tomorrow | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
morning. Essentially another fine and dry day. Spells of sunshine, | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
despite the chilly start tomorrow morning. It will be crisp, and the | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
sun will still get to work. The Stanforth were clear away to give | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
sunny spells. It looks fine across many parts of Britain and Ireland, | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
with the exception of parts of Scotland. Some spots of rain during | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
the first part of the day. The cloud will begin in the South there will | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
be a breeze with rain approaching before Southwest is the day | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
progresses. Cloud will move northwards across southern part of | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
the country, not quite as one as he faces today, 16th in Wales and the | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
north-west of England. Northern Ireland, a fine day. It would be | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
hazy cloud moving in at times in the afternoon but not spoiling things. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Not as warm as today, fresh around the coast, we could see 15 to the | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
West. Enjoy it as the highs moved to the north-west and Friday, northerly | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
air, turning colder for Friday and the weekend, although still a lot of | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
dry weather. | :13:24. | :13:25. |
