:00:00. > :00:11.The new Prime Minister, Theresa May, has been filling some key roles

:00:12. > :00:13.in her cabinet this evening, but we'll have to wait

:00:14. > :00:16.until tomorrow to hear if the Northern Ireland Secretary,

:00:17. > :00:20.Before entering Downing Street earlier this evening,

:00:21. > :00:22.Theresa May spoke of her party's roots

:00:23. > :00:30.Not everybody knows this, but the full title of my party

:00:31. > :00:34.is the Conservative and Unionist Party.

:00:35. > :00:38.And that word "unionist" is very important to me.

:00:39. > :00:43.It means we believe in the union, the precious bond between

:00:44. > :00:48.England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

:00:49. > :00:51.But it means something else that is just as important.

:00:52. > :00:57.It means we believe in the union not just between the nations of the UK

:00:58. > :01:01.but between all of our citizens, every one of us, whoever

:01:02. > :01:08.The outgoing Prime Minister, David Cameron, says Northern Ireland

:01:09. > :01:12.is stronger now than when he came to power six years ago.

:01:13. > :01:16.But how will history judge David Cameron's role here?

:01:17. > :01:19.Our political correspondent Enda McClafferty begins his look

:01:20. > :01:22.back with some of today's events in parliament.

:01:23. > :01:31.On his final appearance at the despatch box as Prime Minister,

:01:32. > :01:35.David Cameron's first question came from the Northern Ireland bench.

:01:36. > :01:42.After thanking David Cameron for his commitment to Northern Ireland,

:01:43. > :01:46.Danny Kinahan then suggested some new jobs.

:01:47. > :01:47.I'm told there are lots of leadership roles

:01:48. > :02:02.There's even, across the big pond, a role that needs filling.

:02:03. > :02:06.Fascinating suggestions for future jobs, most of which sound even

:02:07. > :02:08.harder than this one so I think I will pass.

:02:09. > :02:10.I believe Northern Ireland is stronger than

:02:11. > :02:15.58,000 more people in work, devolution of justice and

:02:16. > :02:20.home affairs, the Saville Report published and record inward

:02:21. > :02:26.This is how David Cameron would like to be remembered -

:02:27. > :02:28.as the Prime Minister who put Northern Ireland

:02:29. > :02:31.on the international stage, bringing in the world's most

:02:32. > :02:36.powerful leaders to show them how far Northern Ireland had travelled.

:02:37. > :02:38.A journey which began for him five weeks after he was

:02:39. > :02:46.What happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable.

:02:47. > :02:48.Here was a Conservative Prime Minister being cheered

:02:49. > :02:56.My brother William, we know he was innocent.

:02:57. > :03:03.But some of the Bloody Sunday families

:03:04. > :03:08.It was a fake apology and what the Bloody Sunday

:03:09. > :03:11.inquiry did at that time, although it found my brother

:03:12. > :03:15.and the others innocent of any crime, it also found the British

:03:16. > :03:20.government and the chain of command innocent and laid the blame

:03:21. > :03:27.Bloody Sunday was David Cameron's first big test and he had many more,

:03:28. > :03:30.not least when he formed an electoral pact with

:03:31. > :03:33.the Ulster Unionist Party which went badly wrong.

:03:34. > :03:36.Had that delivered any seats in 2010, that would have changed

:03:37. > :03:40.the dynamics of his relationship with Northern Ireland but it didn't,

:03:41. > :03:43.and at that time it dawned on him that there are no votes

:03:44. > :03:45.for the Conservative Party in Northern Ireland.

:03:46. > :03:51.He took an interest in Northern Ireland.

:03:52. > :03:54.He helped throughout the political process.

:03:55. > :03:57.as some of his predecessors but we all have

:03:58. > :03:59.different styles and it worked for him.

:04:00. > :04:01.But that hands-off approach didn't play well with Sinn Fein

:04:02. > :04:03.when the Conservatives pushed ahead with their austerity cuts

:04:04. > :04:12.Try as he may to talk up his legacy, David Cameron knows he will always

:04:13. > :04:15.be remembered for one thing - as being the Prime Minister

:04:16. > :04:17.in charge when the UK voted to leave the EU.

:04:18. > :04:20.So his legacy here cannot be assessed until we know the full

:04:21. > :04:23.implications of that vote - in other words, what life will be

:04:24. > :04:25.like for Northern Ireland outside the EU.

:04:26. > :04:28.And that will be for his successor at Number 10,

:04:29. > :04:35.One of the Prime Minister's early appointments to her cabinet

:04:36. > :04:38.was Boris Johnson, who becomes the new Foreign Minister.

:04:39. > :04:41.The former leader of the Brexit campaign has been congratulated

:04:42. > :04:44.by the Irish Foreign Minister, Charlie Flanagan.

:04:45. > :04:47.He said the new minister faces many challenges on the UK exit

:04:48. > :04:51.from the EU and that he looks forward to working constructively

:04:52. > :04:54.with him on the issues which affect both governments.

:04:55. > :04:57.The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, has added his congratulations

:04:58. > :05:01.to Mrs May, telling her he wants to build on the close cooperation

:05:02. > :05:13.The Seagate factory in Londonderry will not be affected

:05:14. > :05:15.by a new round of global job cuts, the company has said.

:05:16. > :05:19.The disc driver manufacturer said on Monday that it intends to cut 14%

:05:20. > :05:21.of its global workforce by the end of 2017.

:05:22. > :05:25.That raised fears of more cuts at the Derry plant,

:05:26. > :05:28.where 70 workers were made redundant earlier this year.

:05:29. > :05:30.A spokeswoman said today that Seagate, one of

:05:31. > :05:36.the North-West's biggest employers, will not be affected.

:05:37. > :05:39.Hopes have been raised of a deal to end the dispute in

:05:40. > :05:45.Two of the three lodges involved in the stand-off did not take part

:05:46. > :05:49.in a protest at restrictions on their route yesterday.

:05:50. > :05:54.Our home affairs correspondent, Vincent Kearney, reports.

:05:55. > :06:00.In recent years three lodges and supporters have marched

:06:01. > :06:03.to police lines on the Woodvale Road.

:06:04. > :06:08.Last night fewer than 20 members of Ballysillan Lodge arrived.

:06:09. > :06:12.Then they waited, and waited, for two other North Belfast Lodges

:06:13. > :06:21.There's not enough time for them to get up here.

:06:22. > :06:24.A proposed parade deal between the Orange Order

:06:25. > :06:28.and an Ardoyne residents' group collapsed earlier this month,

:06:29. > :06:31.unravelling after Ballysillan said it wouldn't back it,

:06:32. > :06:36.even though the other two lodges said they would.

:06:37. > :06:40.Ballysillan have rejected any suggestion it was deliberately left

:06:41. > :06:45.out on a limb for opposing the deal, but it is been confirmed

:06:46. > :06:48.that the other two lodges did not endorse a letter of protest

:06:49. > :06:54.That letter is handed in on behalf of

:06:55. > :07:01.How you feel about the fact the other two lodges

:07:02. > :07:06.They can speak for themselves, but because of the order

:07:07. > :07:10.of the demonstration they could not come to the police lines,

:07:11. > :07:15.so the determination said 8:30pm and they were unable

:07:16. > :07:27.We are a lawful organisation, so we abide by the law.

:07:28. > :07:29.After the parade dispersed, there was some minor trouble

:07:30. > :07:34.and a brief stand-off between loyalists and republicans.

:07:35. > :07:38.While talks to resolve the Ardoyne dispute failed, those

:07:39. > :07:42.I could only describe it as an atmosphere that there

:07:43. > :07:47.is a possibility of resolution and I know myself from the local

:07:48. > :07:49.area, people do not want to hand this problem

:07:50. > :07:53.onto another generation, so there is an atmosphere

:07:54. > :08:08.Both sides at our door expected to resume their talks shortly and the

:08:09. > :08:12.aim is to reach a settlement will be for next year's Twelfth of July.

:08:13. > :08:14.A great-grandmother whose house was set alight by sparks

:08:15. > :08:16.from a nearby bonfire says she doesn't blame

:08:17. > :08:19.Lily Turtle's home in the Shankill was destroyed in the fire

:08:20. > :08:25.Three days later, the bonfire in Hopewell Square is still burning.

:08:26. > :08:29.Sparks and debris from this fire, carried by the wind,

:08:30. > :08:33.set alight three neighbouring houses in the middle of the night.

:08:34. > :08:37.No-one was injured but the damage is extensive.

:08:38. > :08:40.Lily Turtle's home was the worst hit.

:08:41. > :08:45.Furniture, beds, even family photographs and ornaments.

:08:46. > :08:50.She's been left with just a few bags of clothes.

:08:51. > :09:02.The house I loved, the best neighbours out over there,

:09:03. > :09:07.The 72-year-old and her two-year-old great-granddaughter were led

:09:08. > :09:16.Despite what she's been through, Mrs Turtle says

:09:17. > :09:23.she doesn't blame those who built the bonfire.

:09:24. > :09:29.The wee lad to altered, I sat and watched him every day and I enjoyed
