:01:51. > :01:57.Our political correspondent Enda McClafferty reports.
:01:58. > :02:05.Constable Stephen Carroll was the first PSNI officer to be murdered by
:02:06. > :02:11.dissident republicans. He was shot dead when his patrol was ambushed
:02:12. > :02:16.when responding to a 999 call in 2009. Three years later, these two
:02:17. > :02:21.men, Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton, were convicted of his
:02:22. > :02:24.murder. Two years ago, they failed in a legal bid to have their
:02:25. > :02:31.convictions quashed. At the time, the Lord Chief Justice said he and
:02:32. > :02:38.his fellow appeal judges were satisfied the guilty verdicts were
:02:39. > :02:42.correct. But McConville has convicted to protest his innocence
:02:43. > :02:46.and last week a Sinn Fein delegation met the men in Maghaberry Prison. It
:02:47. > :02:50.was led by Declan Kearney on the Justice committee. This is how he
:02:51. > :02:54.revealed details of the visit, putting a video on his Twitter
:02:55. > :03:00.account. We discussed the very serious concerns that relate to the
:03:01. > :03:05.conviction of both of those prisoners. Today's visit represents
:03:06. > :03:09.an opportunity for our party to become increasingly informed as to
:03:10. > :03:16.the overall present in -- prison environment. But the visit has
:03:17. > :03:20.angered Stephen Carroll's widow. I would ask anyone of them who was sat
:03:21. > :03:25.on the court for 13 weeks that I sat in each and every day for 13 weeks,
:03:26. > :03:30.at the original trial, I heard how my husband's brain was slashed open
:03:31. > :03:34.by a bullet. I saw the actual gun that killed him. I saw the reactions
:03:35. > :03:41.of the perpetrators, and was sickening. Today Pat Sheehan, a
:03:42. > :03:45.former prisoner and he was part of the delegation, defended the
:03:46. > :03:49.decision to meet Brendan McConville. I can understand that Kate Carroll
:03:50. > :03:56.is hurt and that the suffering she has had to deal with has been made
:03:57. > :04:00.worse by this. However, to go back to the point, everyone is entitled
:04:01. > :04:07.to the highest standards of justice. No matter who they are or where they
:04:08. > :04:10.are. The DUP have dismissed the visit as a stunt, which they say
:04:11. > :04:17.will only cause more hurt for the Carroll family. These individuals
:04:18. > :04:21.were murderers. They were convicted murderers, they have gone through
:04:22. > :04:25.the Court of Appeal and the appeal was thrown out. In fact, one of
:04:26. > :04:28.their sentences was increased. So I think we have to be mindful that
:04:29. > :04:33.these individuals are convicted murderers. Whatever the political
:04:34. > :04:36.fallout from the visit, Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton are
:04:37. > :04:40.still fighting to have their convictions quashed. They have taken
:04:41. > :04:43.their challenge to the criminal cases review commission in the hope
:04:44. > :04:46.that it will refer their case back to the Court of Appeal.
:04:47. > :04:49.Ryanair is stopping its flights from the City of Derry Airport
:04:50. > :04:54.to London Stansted from the end of next March.
:04:55. > :04:56.The local council which runs the airport says it will also
:04:57. > :05:00.lose its summer flight to Faro in Portugal.
:05:01. > :05:03.As Keiron Tourish reports, this latest cut to services
:05:04. > :05:11.is being described as a devastating blow for the North West region.
:05:12. > :05:20.Since 1999, Ryanair has carried 4 million passengers through the City
:05:21. > :05:23.of Derry Airport, the most popular route to London Stansted with
:05:24. > :05:28.120,000 passengers annually. But it is ending that service next March.
:05:29. > :05:31.Liverpool flights will also be reduced, although Glasgow will
:05:32. > :05:35.continue operating at current levels. The council admits the loss
:05:36. > :05:38.of the London book is a major blow. It is devastating losing a
:05:39. > :05:43.connection to London. Obviously Ryanair have been at this pair
:05:44. > :05:48.fought for some time and I'm pleased to say they will remain a major
:05:49. > :05:53.player, operating next summer to Glasgow and Liverpool. But in terms
:05:54. > :05:57.of the London connection, that is by no means lost. The plans that are in
:05:58. > :06:03.place are to replace the London Stansted route with a much more
:06:04. > :06:10.frequent, double if not triple daily service to one of the London
:06:11. > :06:17.airports. At the airport -- at the airport got a future? Is this the
:06:18. > :06:21.end of the airport? Certainly not. We are going to be involved in the
:06:22. > :06:25.process of securing an alternative carrier for the London route through
:06:26. > :06:29.a public service obligation mechanism with the Department for
:06:30. > :06:33.Transport in London. We are working on that at the moment. The council
:06:34. > :06:37.says the airport is of critical importance to this region.
:06:38. > :06:41.Generating as it does ?16 million each year is to stop the council is
:06:42. > :06:46.currently in talks with the Stormont Executive and hopes to secure
:06:47. > :06:49.funding of more than ?2 million for an airport development plan.
:06:50. > :06:52.And on the topic of transport, the Executive has again ruled out
:06:53. > :06:56.spending up to ?100 million on a train link between
:06:57. > :07:00.Belfast and the International Airport at Aldergrove.
:07:01. > :07:02.Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill is at
:07:03. > :07:16.Jillian, why is this train link still seen as not justified? A
:07:17. > :07:22.rather noisy Central Station! Essentially, there are two reasons.
:07:23. > :07:28.Just as many Executive last look this issue in 2014, it feels that a
:07:29. > :07:32.real went to Aldergrove airport is not economically viable until the
:07:33. > :07:35.airport carries about 10 million as India's annually. Currently it is
:07:36. > :07:38.doing about half that and it could be 13 more years before it has that
:07:39. > :07:44.kind of target. Secondly, the Infrastructure Minister said that
:07:45. > :07:48.road links have improved and will continue to improve and in his view
:07:49. > :07:52.there is a decent bus service between Belfast and Aldergrove
:07:53. > :07:56.operating about 50 times a day, carrying about 500,000 passengers
:07:57. > :08:00.annually. For that reason he does not think it is wise to reopen a 20
:08:01. > :08:06.mile stretch of track between Lisburn and Antrim, which would also
:08:07. > :08:14.include a train halt at Aldergrove. It has been estimated that anywhere
:08:15. > :08:17.up to ?100 million. For passenger numbers to reach that, the real
:08:18. > :08:21.benefits to passengers of introducing a real link are likely
:08:22. > :08:26.to be limited. It is unlikely that they'll could provide a more regular
:08:27. > :08:31.cost-effective link than what has been already provided by bus. The
:08:32. > :08:36.Minister speaking during a debate at today at Stormont, what was behind
:08:37. > :08:43.that? Really, it is the continued growth of Dublin airport, one MLA
:08:44. > :08:47.said that Dublin was sucking the life out of Aldergrove and many MLAs
:08:48. > :08:54.questioned whether Aldergrove has adequate infrastructure in order to
:08:55. > :08:59.help. Contrast that, they said, with Dublin airport, not the -- not only
:09:00. > :09:03.getting a second runway but there are plans for a real link of the
:09:04. > :09:07.male Belfast Dublin mine. Many MLAs pointed out that this is not just
:09:08. > :09:10.about getting passengers to the airport, but a lot of communities
:09:11. > :09:15.would benefit from the reopening of the line, which was closed 13 years
:09:16. > :09:20.ago, but for the foreseeable future, the only mode of public transport
:09:21. > :09:21.they will have is the boss. -- the bass.

:09:24. > :09:32.The poetic treasure uncovered in a Coalisland classroom.
:09:33. > :09:35.The East Belfast MP Gavin Robinson has claimed that PSNI officers have
:09:36. > :09:40.been asked to stop bail checks on a man accused of murdering
:09:41. > :09:43.the prison officer Adrian Ismay in March.
:09:44. > :09:45.Mr Robinson was speaking during a Commons debate
:09:46. > :09:56.Here's our political correspondent, Stephen Walker.
:09:57. > :10:06.During the troubles, Libyan Semtex was a key I wear a weapon. Libya has
:10:07. > :10:10.compensated US victims of terrorism but UK victims were left out of the
:10:11. > :10:14.deal. Today MPs call for that to change. Darren Robinson used the
:10:15. > :10:18.debate to highlight the car bomb attack on prison officer Adrian
:10:19. > :10:24.Ismay, in which Semtex was believed to have been used. The MP claimed
:10:25. > :10:31.the PSNI were stopping Bale checks on the man accused of the attack. I
:10:32. > :10:37.received information that PSNI chiefs sent an e-mail to the
:10:38. > :10:42.officers not to conduct bail checks because there were far too many
:10:43. > :10:46.complaints from the solicitor. Offending the sensitivities of a man
:10:47. > :10:48.who is alleged to be the murder of my constituent. Tonight the BSI
:10:49. > :11:06.responded, saying... -- the PSNI. In today's debate, Tom Elliott calls
:11:07. > :11:12.on Martin McGuinness to help. Indeed, I believe the Deputy First
:11:13. > :11:15.Minister could give support and help and assistance, but he is not
:11:16. > :11:20.prepared to do that, it appears. If we are to deal with the past and
:11:21. > :11:23.deal with these aspects of Libya, Martin McGuinness and his colleagues
:11:24. > :11:28.need to come out and be absolutely clear where they stood. In response,
:11:29. > :11:33.Sinn Fein said victims have a right to the truth and described Tom
:11:34. > :11:35.Elliott' Marks as a stunt. Ian Paisley said those seeking
:11:36. > :11:41.compensation were frustrated by delays. They are sick and tired of
:11:42. > :11:50.the dilly-dallying and delays. Many of them are coming to, let's face
:11:51. > :11:52.it, the latter years of their lives. The Southdown MP Margaret Ritchie
:11:53. > :11:59.said victims' rights must take priority. What happened by Colonel
:12:00. > :12:04.Gaddafi and the within... In supplying those weapons to the IRA
:12:05. > :12:08.was both immoral, unacceptable and wrong. The Foreign Office minister

:12:47. > :12:53.complete, six schools will share the site. The first school, with 140
:12:54. > :12:56.pupils with special needs, has just moved into its new building. The

:13:00. > :13:06.purpose-built, right from the ground up words, from the design and
:13:07. > :13:11.discussions and painting, that went into it, really about how children
:13:12. > :13:15.learn. It has been literally a rise from the ashes. The school's
:13:16. > :13:19.previous building was almost completely destroyed in a fire. It
:13:20. > :13:27.has been a journey. It is about being together, now we have got the
:13:28. > :13:33.building for those people. The school will eventually be joined by
:13:34. > :13:42.five other schools. Christian Brothers Grammar school, Loretta
:13:43. > :13:48.Grammar School... Behind me is absolutely vast site,
:13:49. > :13:51.and when this is completed, it will not be integrated education. That is
:13:52. > :13:56.for pupils with different backgrounds who is put together in
:13:57. > :14:00.the same school. Instead, it will be a shared education campus. Pupils
:14:01. > :14:03.will mix but they will still go to their own separate schools. The
:14:04. > :14:08.Education Minister visiting the site today said there would be a chance
:14:09. > :14:14.for pupils to share sports and classroom facilities. The
:14:15. > :14:16.authorities have come together to develop public understanding and a
:14:17. > :14:21.spot about there will be working out details of shared areas the campus.
:14:22. > :14:27.The result is a great opportunity to concentrate effectively of Omagh
:14:28. > :14:31.Omagh on the one site. The ?120 million campus is due to be finished

:14:36. > :14:39.an average family on a low income needs to spend about 40%
:14:40. > :14:43.of their weekly cash The survey on the Cost of a Healthy
:14:44. > :14:48.Food Basket was carried out by the Food Standards Agency

:14:53. > :15:05.has been counting the cost Would it not be lovely if we could
:15:06. > :15:10.put fresh fruit and vegetables on our table like this all of the time?
:15:11. > :15:13.But the reality for many households in Northern Ireland is that they
:15:14. > :15:19.cannot simply afford to put healthy food on the kitchen table every day.
:15:20. > :15:21.Joanne Casey from the Food Standards Agency, you have done some research
:15:22. > :15:26.which shows the extent of the problem? The research shows that
:15:27. > :15:32.low-income households in Northern Ireland which need to spend a third
:15:33. > :15:36.of their weekly take-home budget. On an acceptable food budget,
:15:37. > :15:40.nutritionally as well as socially and culturally. That is difficult on
:15:41. > :15:44.a low-income? Absolutely and we have looked at income scenarios for
:15:45. > :15:48.pensioners as well as a family of four and a single-parent household.
:15:49. > :15:52.In the evidence is that some people have to cut back on healthy food,
:15:53. > :15:56.perhaps more expensive food, simply to make the budget meets? We have
:15:57. > :16:00.found that food tends to be the flexible component of the household
:16:01. > :16:04.budget. It is the food budget that is cut in order to make the other
:16:05. > :16:08.household expenses. That can be cut in terms of the amount of money
:16:09. > :16:14.spent and the nutritional value of the food. The reality is that food
:16:15. > :16:17.poverty can happen to anybody. So because of maybe the loss of a job
:16:18. > :16:25.or illness, anybody can find themselves in food poverty. I would
:16:26. > :16:28.have raised this issue today at a conference with policy makers and
:16:29. > :16:33.policy influences to really raise this to the height of the top of the
:16:34. > :16:37.agenda. Thank you, Joanne. With that, back to the studio.
:16:38. > :16:39.The death of a farmer in County Tyrone at the weekend
:16:40. > :16:41.is yet another reminder of the dangers of working
:16:42. > :16:46.To warn and advise the next generation of farm workers,
:16:47. > :16:49.a new safety initiative has been introduced for first year students
:16:50. > :16:53.at the Greenmount College of Agriculture, Food
:16:54. > :17:05.Believe it or not, a farmer is six times more likely to die at his
:17:06. > :17:12.workplace than a construction worker. Here at College, first used
:17:13. > :17:20.dunes are learning all about the dangers of working down on the farm.
:17:21. > :17:25.-- here at College. Stephanie, if I can interrupt you for a second. We
:17:26. > :17:28.can see a twisted body, which obviously is mimicking an accident
:17:29. > :17:35.here with some fake blood, this is the sort of thing that can happen on
:17:36. > :17:40.a farm, isn't it? It is one of the main accidents that do happen. What
:17:41. > :17:43.we are trying to do is get the first year students to think about what
:17:44. > :17:46.they would do if they walked into a situation and this was something
:17:47. > :17:53.they saw. What do you think of all this? It is very interesting. I
:17:54. > :17:57.would be able to tell the family what the risk is. Another
:17:58. > :18:02.representation of an accident, this time a quad bike, in something used
:18:03. > :18:05.on farms a lot more these days. With me now is Jim from the college. What
:18:06. > :18:07.does this all mean from your perspective, teaching young
:18:08. > :18:14.up-and-coming farmers? It is a great perspective, teaching young
:18:15. > :18:17.opportunity to instil a message of health and safety of students from
:18:18. > :18:21.the start of the courses and to instil that ethos and culture of
:18:22. > :18:25.health and safety, particularly against the backdrop of agriculture,
:18:26. > :18:29.where the have historically been a high level of injuries and
:18:30. > :18:33.fatalities. In the past year, 27 people have died on farms in Great
:18:34. > :18:37.Britain with four fatalities here in Northern Ireland. The latest was at
:18:38. > :18:44.the weekend when a young man was killed on a farm near Dungannon.

:18:47. > :18:48.plastic ?5 note, Northern Ireland has been
:18:49. > :18:50.remembering the plastic Northern Bank fiver
:18:51. > :18:55.As Will Leitch reports, the National Australia Bank,
:18:56. > :18:56.which then owned the Northern, wanted something
:18:57. > :19:04.The new Bank of England ?5 note has caused a stir in Great Britain but
:19:05. > :19:08.in this case, Northern Ireland can say, been there, done that. The
:19:09. > :19:13.Northern Bank I pounds note was introduced in October 19 99. The
:19:14. > :19:16.Australian owners of the bank were printing them in all their banks.
:19:17. > :19:25.For some of the time, it was a bit much! -- some at the time. Monopoly
:19:26. > :19:30.money! What do you think of the new Northern Bank ?5 note? It is made of
:19:31. > :19:36.plastic. You are having us on! Well, this is a sample of the plastic
:19:37. > :19:39.Northern Bank ?5 note. They have put up to 2 million of these into
:19:40. > :19:45.circulation. I think in truth most of us really rather liked them, we
:19:46. > :19:51.felt they made us look a little futuristic, you know the kind of
:19:52. > :19:57.thing. Look, I'm trendy! We wanted to commemorate the year 2000. As we
:19:58. > :20:00.borrowed by an Australian company and they had polymer notes, it felt
:20:01. > :20:05.it would be good to get the first polymer notes on the basis without
:20:06. > :20:11.others would follow. But for us it's still created the buzz. The notes
:20:12. > :20:16.were taken out of circulation in 2008, but they are still legal
:20:17. > :20:20.tender. They were the only ones not replace after the Northern Bank
:20:21. > :20:23.robbery of 2004. But such are the memories that they still attract
:20:24. > :20:27.lots of attention on internet auction sites. Time, perhaps, to
:20:28. > :20:30.take another look under your mattress!
:20:31. > :20:32.I may just do that. 100 years ago today, the great
:20:33. > :20:35.writer Roald Dahl was born, and as many schools remember him
:20:36. > :20:37.on this special day, one in County Tyrone has
:20:38. > :20:41.a particular reason to celebrate. Primate Dixon Primary School
:20:42. > :20:45.in Coalisland has a poem penned Sara Neill has been
:20:46. > :21:08.finding out more. It is the poem that was lost for
:21:09. > :21:12.almost 30 years. Tucked away in a dusty drawer, this previously
:21:13. > :21:16.unpublished rhyme by Roald Dahl was written for primary five pupils in
:21:17. > :21:22.County Tyrone in 1988. Now this letter from the man behind Matilda,
:21:23. > :21:28.the BFG and the Witches is on display for all to see. No one had
:21:29. > :21:33.any idea of the replies since that time and four years ago one of our
:21:34. > :21:37.teachers were squaring at a desk when she came across the envelope
:21:38. > :21:41.with the letter, we couldn't believe the find that it was. It was
