:00:00. > :00:11.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me.
:00:12. > :00:20.The headlines this Thursday evening...
:00:21. > :00:28.Should the Orange Order lift its ban on members attending Catholic church
:00:29. > :00:34.services? A new debate has begun. I would say the Order will change the
:00:35. > :00:36.rule, if not in this decade, certainly in the next decade.
:00:37. > :00:38.Plans to make firms disclose how many foreign workers they employ
:00:39. > :00:43.The National Crime Agency says six people are now under investigation
:00:44. > :00:49.Dublin Airport gets a record number of passengers from Northern Ireland.
:00:50. > :01:02.The cost of going to university, the challenges faced by students and
:01:03. > :01:03.their families. I am at Ulster University in Belfast.
:01:04. > :01:05.Georgia on his mind - with the Republic of Ireland's
:01:06. > :01:08.latest World Cup qualifier just over an hour away, can Martin O'Neill
:01:09. > :01:18.And a few raindrops in the forecast, but still more dry than wet weather.
:01:19. > :01:24.A second senior Orangeman has said the Order should consider lifting
:01:25. > :01:28.a ban on members attending services in a Catholic church.
:01:29. > :01:31.Yesterday the Reverend Mervyn Gibson, who is a Grand Chaplain,
:01:32. > :01:34.said his personal view was that the rule should change.
:01:35. > :01:37.Today David McNarry, a past Assistant Grand Master, agreed.
:01:38. > :01:45.The Orange Order's rules go back centuries, but some believe it's now
:01:46. > :01:49.time for a re-think on the ban on members going to
:01:50. > :02:00.The Reverend Mervyn Gibson said it yesterday.
:02:01. > :02:07.It can be changed and it may be changed but that harks back to a
:02:08. > :02:11.different era in many ways. The opportunity is there for the
:02:12. > :02:15.institution itself to change that rule. Would you like to see that
:02:16. > :02:22.change personally? Personally I have to say I would. But does anyone else
:02:23. > :02:24.agree? Mervin has generated a discussion that I think the
:02:25. > :02:30.institution needs to have. I agree with what he said they individually.
:02:31. > :02:36.At the moment I don't detect there is a clamour, because there is no
:02:37. > :02:41.one really being admonished if they go to pay their respects. This is
:02:42. > :02:47.entirely a matter for the grand Lodge and for the Orange
:02:48. > :02:51.institution. I have no doubt there will be strong opinions on both
:02:52. > :02:56.sides, but I think there are occasions when it is the right thing
:02:57. > :03:01.to do. It is what David Trimble after the Omagh bomb, even though he
:03:02. > :03:04.was an Orangemen, he then First Minister went to a Catholic Church
:03:05. > :03:09.for the funeral of three young victims. Mr Trimble, you are
:03:10. > :03:14.particularly welcome with entourage. That was almost 20 years ago. It a
:03:15. > :03:19.talking point then and now it is again. The next meeting of the
:03:20. > :03:24.Orange Order's ruling grand Lodge takes place in December. We'll the
:03:25. > :03:28.matter be raised at that meeting? At this stage it seems unlikely. But
:03:29. > :03:34.whether it is raised or not, there is no doubt a new debate has begun.
:03:35. > :03:38.And a former Presbyterian Church moderator believes change will
:03:39. > :03:41.happen. Eventually. If I was a betting man and I have never placed
:03:42. > :03:47.a bet in my life I would say the Order will change the rule. If not
:03:48. > :03:52.in this decade, certainly in the next decade. All sides of the
:03:53. > :03:55.argument agree on one thing. Nothing will happen quickly.
:03:56. > :03:58.The Home Office says a consultation regarding plans to monitor how many
:03:59. > :04:01.foreign workers are employed by individual firms will cover
:04:02. > :04:04.Northern Ireland as immigration is not a devolved matter.
:04:05. > :04:06.Our Political Editor Mark Devenport has more on this.
:04:07. > :04:19.It has been a controversial issue. Give us some of the details. It
:04:20. > :04:23.stirred controversy when Amber Rudd the Home Secretary said that some
:04:24. > :04:25.firms want Kennington of local workers and she said she could nudge
:04:26. > :04:31.them into better behaviour as she put it by getting them to register
:04:32. > :04:34.what percentage of their workforce was international. That has been
:04:35. > :04:39.criticised by some local politicians here. The SDLP call it xenophobic
:04:40. > :04:43.rhetoric and they are concerned about the position of Irish workers
:04:44. > :04:47.in England. Sinn Fein concerned about the position of cross-border
:04:48. > :04:50.workers. Because this idea seems to spam with employment matters which
:04:51. > :04:53.are devolved to Stormont and immigration matters which are still
:04:54. > :04:57.reserved to the Home Office I did ask the Home Office today wouldn't
:04:58. > :05:01.apply and they came back with the answer that a consultation, which we
:05:02. > :05:03.are expecting that this year, will apply to Northern Ireland. Quite how
:05:04. > :05:09.they will define international workers and deal with all the
:05:10. > :05:11.problems of cross-border working, I think we will have to wait until
:05:12. > :05:13.they put the document. We will leave it there. Thank you.
:05:14. > :05:15.The agency investigating the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland property
:05:16. > :05:17.portfolio has broken its silence on the inquiry.
:05:18. > :05:20.In an exclusive interview for the BBC, the Director General
:05:21. > :05:22.of the National Crime Agency has revealed that six people regarded
:05:23. > :05:28.Lynne Owens said the NCA is treating the case
:05:29. > :05:35.She spoke to our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney.
:05:36. > :05:37.This is the headquarters of the organisation referred
:05:38. > :05:45.It's from here that the National Crime Agency's investigation
:05:46. > :05:47.into Nama's Northern Ireland property sale is being directed.
:05:48. > :05:50.It was here I met the agency's Director General for the first
:05:51. > :05:58.interview she's given about the inquiry.
:05:59. > :06:05.Since the beginning of the enquiry we have interviewed under caution
:06:06. > :06:08.seven people. Six of the people remain under criminal investigation.
:06:09. > :06:14.We have interviewed over 40 witnesses. We have searched eight
:06:15. > :06:17.properties. We have achieved a number of court orders, both for
:06:18. > :06:24.private properties and public locations. And our enquiries
:06:25. > :06:29.continue. Do you question seven people under caution, with an
:06:30. > :06:32.arrested? Two were arrested. The others will not arrested.
:06:33. > :06:36.Interviewed under caution with the agreement. Do you envisage further
:06:37. > :06:38.arrests at this stage? We definitely can't rule it out at this stage.
:06:39. > :06:41.The NCA says the possible crimes being investigated include bribery,
:06:42. > :06:45.The agency says it's impossible to say how long
:06:46. > :06:51.When asked if she was confident there would be criminal charges,
:06:52. > :07:03.That isn't a decision for me to make. Our job is to understate it
:07:04. > :07:07.search for the truth, to compel the evidence and to put those files of
:07:08. > :07:11.evidence to a prosecutor 's office. They will make a judgment whether
:07:12. > :07:14.there is a case to answer and any charging decisions. Our job is to
:07:15. > :07:16.make sure our investigation is as thorough as it can possibly be.
:07:17. > :07:19.The NCA has confirmed to the BBC that two men arrested as part
:07:20. > :07:21.of the investigation in May were released
:07:22. > :07:30.The fact that they were released from police bail so quickly suggests
:07:31. > :07:38.they don't have a case to answer will stop as you know there is a big
:07:39. > :07:43.debate about bail legislation. At the moment we should not hold people
:07:44. > :07:45.on bail longer than is necessary, but neither should people draw any
:07:46. > :07:46.conclusion about that release from bail.
:07:47. > :07:48.The agency's Director General was in Belfast today, briefing
:07:49. > :07:50.members of the Policing Board about the investigation.
:07:51. > :07:54.She said the NCA is working with law enforcement agencies

:08:09. > :08:11.carriageway when he was involved in a collision with a car.
:08:12. > :08:14.It happened just before 6am this morning.
:08:15. > :08:19.The driver of the car wasn't injured.
:08:20. > :08:21.Last night we heard from the 23-year-old man who blinded
:08:22. > :08:25.It's being investigated by the Justice Committee
:08:26. > :08:28.following a highly critical report which found prison officers stood
:08:29. > :08:32.and watched for over an hour without intervening.
:08:33. > :08:35.At a committee hearing today, the Prison Ombudsman told MLAs
:08:36. > :08:37.the shocking incident was down to failures inside
:08:38. > :08:42.The head of the Prison Service also attended the committee
:08:43. > :08:53.Sean Lynch was detained in a part of Maghaberry which,
:08:54. > :08:56.the Ombudsman found, was "unsuitable for managing someone
:08:57. > :09:01.The report also declared that Mr Lynch's "increasingly bizarre
:09:02. > :09:03.and violent" conduct was met by short-term responses
:09:04. > :09:08.On the night Sean Lynch blinded himself, two young prison
:09:09. > :09:21.I feel particularly I have to say, for the two Young Amesbury and staff
:09:22. > :09:24.who had to be worthless. Quite simply on that night when he first
:09:25. > :09:30.raised the alarm, they were not sure what to do. They summoned help which
:09:31. > :09:33.came sometime later. They were at the sharp end of a series of
:09:34. > :09:39.failings of the previous eight weeks or so and it wasn't down to those
:09:40. > :09:40.two prison staff alone. Sean Lynch was remanded
:09:41. > :09:42.to Maghaberry after breaching bail conditions on charges of assault
:09:43. > :09:44.and criminal damage. During his detention,
:09:45. > :09:46.according to the Ombudsman, he was taken to outside
:09:47. > :09:59.hospitals - twice. It is also important to realise that
:10:00. > :10:03.Mr Lynch had quite properly been taken to upset hospital on two
:10:04. > :10:06.previous occasions. But on both of those instances, two different
:10:07. > :10:10.hospitals in dignity, because he was a prisoner, those hospitals. That
:10:11. > :10:14.failed in fulfilling the duty of care. Also before the committee
:10:15. > :10:17.today, Sue McAllister director-general of the Prison
:10:18. > :10:20.Service. She says she hopes to meet Sean Lynch's family this month and
:10:21. > :10:26.also had something else to say. I am sorry for the life changing injuries
:10:27. > :10:29.that Mr Lynch sustained while in our care. Today's hearings here at
:10:30. > :10:33.Stormont are part of an ongoing debate about people with mental
:10:34. > :10:36.health issues who are going through the justice system. And in
:10:37. > :10:39.particular how they are treated and where.
:10:40. > :10:43.Figures from Dublin Airport suggest its use by Northern Ireland
:10:44. > :10:48.It says more than a million passenger journeys were made in 2015
:10:49. > :10:50.by people who had travelled from across the border.

:11:07. > :11:12.there were 1.2 million passenger journeys by people who live
:11:13. > :11:17.That's up by 37% on 2014, and the most popular destinations
:11:18. > :11:20.for Northern Ireland customers being firstly Heathrow,
:11:21. > :11:25.followed by JFK in New York and then Dubai.
:11:26. > :11:28.Our three airports will look on enviously, although both
:11:29. > :11:32.the International and Belfast City are seeing growth.
:11:33. > :11:35.But Dublin is making enormous strides.
:11:36. > :11:40.An improved motorway and Ireland's abolition of Air Passenger Duty have
:11:41. > :11:42.contributed to its popularity, but nothing more so than route
:11:43. > :11:51.Dublin does about three times as many destinations
:11:52. > :11:55.On long-haul, where Northern Ireland has also scrapped APD,
:11:56. > :11:59.Dublin operates around 30 routes to Northern Ireland's one.
:12:00. > :12:02.Taken as a whole, the figures will serve to focus minds again
:12:03. > :12:04.at our airports and in the Executive, with a feeling
:12:05. > :12:12.some form of strategic thinking is needed going forward.

:13:14. > :13:20."I began taking the rubbish out and about half way down I saw
:13:21. > :13:23."a human foot and continued to remove rubbish and saw a human hand
:13:24. > :13:28."with a silver wedding band on one of the fingers.
:13:29. > :13:35."Removed more rubbish and a human torso came into view.
:13:36. > :13:36.The investigating officer then asks Stephen Hughes,
:13:37. > :13:39."Did you squash Owen's body down into the bin?"
:13:40. > :13:42.Stephen Hughes answers, "The two of us did" -
:13:43. > :13:46.a reference to his co-accused Shaunean Boyle.
:13:47. > :13:50.The officer goes on to ask how, saying "In what way?"
:13:51. > :13:55.Stephen Hughes replies, "Just pushed him into it with my hands."
:13:56. > :13:58.The officer points out that rigor mortis had set in, asking,

:15:06. > :15:15.It has been one of the most traumatic things I have ever had in

:15:17. > :15:19.Eileen Scullion was a mother-of-13 with more than 30 grandchildren.

:15:36. > :15:45.The family had raised concerns about her safety.
:15:46. > :15:55.I think railings around the bed for a start would have helped. More
:15:56. > :15:57.staff, hands on. Maybe people that were more serious about their job.
:15:58. > :16:00.The family have many complaints, including that their mother should
:16:01. > :16:02.never have been left on the edge of a bed unattended.
:16:03. > :16:05.Because the fall was not properly recorded, they don't know how long

:16:08. > :16:14.Finally, the fall at the privately-run nursing home
:16:15. > :16:17.was not properly investigated until the family contacted
:16:18. > :16:24.The Trust concluded the fall was as a result of the "failure
:16:25. > :16:28."of the care assistant to remain with Mrs Scullion,
:16:29. > :16:33.It found the care home had a "blanket block" on the provision
:16:34. > :16:37.of bedrails for any resident presenting with confusion.
:16:38. > :16:40.It also said Marina Care home "did not investigate the incident"
:16:41. > :16:43.and so failed to learn anything from it.
:16:44. > :16:46.The family say they were further knocked back when they discovered
:16:47. > :16:48.that the new safety recommendations hadn't been fully complied
:16:49. > :16:57.The new owners say they've now fully implemented all safety requirements.
:16:58. > :17:02.But according to the family, they feel let down by the Trust

:17:05. > :17:11.Over the past few weeks, tens of thousands of students
:17:12. > :17:13.have started their first year in university.
:17:14. > :17:16.With that new academic journey comes a lot of debt.
:17:17. > :17:18.For BBC Newsline, Donna Traynor was at the Ulster University's
:17:19. > :17:30.If you go to this university ought to Queen's University, you can
:17:31. > :17:37.borrow the cost of your tuition fees. Close to ?4000 a year. On top
:17:38. > :17:41.of that is a maintenance long for everyday expenses. So that means at
:17:42. > :17:48.the end of a three-year course, you could have a debt of ?27,000. That
:17:49. > :17:51.is just if you want to study in Northern Ireland. It would be more
:17:52. > :17:58.expensive if you went elsewhere. And that is just for one student. Sarah
:17:59. > :18:02.visited a family in Garber. Three of the spring chose to go to
:18:03. > :18:05.university. You realise yourself that you will have to start
:18:06. > :18:10.budgeting... No matter what you are studying, student life is a game of
:18:11. > :18:15.numbers. Caitlin topping is back home after graduating from
:18:16. > :18:20.Northumbria University. After degrees, at a cost. Three years of
:18:21. > :18:26.taking out the maximum student. I try not to think about it too hard,
:18:27. > :18:32.because I know it is a lot. It is probably just under ?40,000. After
:18:33. > :18:36.three years. Which is a big number. Caitlin is one of more than 40,000
:18:37. > :18:41.in Northern Ireland who took out a student loan last year to cover
:18:42. > :18:44.university. For the topping family and there two other children these
:18:45. > :18:49.loans were vital. We were kind of hoping that maybe one would stay at
:18:50. > :18:55.home, maybe go to Queen's University or Coleraine. I was hoping maybe
:18:56. > :19:01.will one would didn't go to university and I thought maybe one
:19:02. > :19:07.would go across the water. Whenever they went to Glasgow, we
:19:08. > :19:12.contemplated paying her fees. Make up and said, can you pay the fees
:19:13. > :19:15.for three of them and we realised we couldn't so we would have to take
:19:16. > :19:22.out a student loan or she would have to take that out. Three kids in
:19:23. > :19:25.third level education, as we know they now come out with an amount of
:19:26. > :19:31.debt, do you still think it is worth it? It is leaving with a very big
:19:32. > :19:35.commitment to pay off, but that's Caitlin says, they are paying in
:19:36. > :19:41.little pieces and are capable of doing it, I think it is a good deal.
:19:42. > :19:45.I also think the figure scares people as well because they don't
:19:46. > :19:48.understand that when it comes to it, you're not paying it back until you
:19:49. > :19:53.are capable are able to pay it back. You are paying it back in small
:19:54. > :19:56.amounts. I don't think it should scare people off, because I think
:19:57. > :20:02.university is great and I would do it ten times over.
:20:03. > :20:08.REPORTER: While almost 10,000 people in Northern Ireland have not been
:20:09. > :20:14.scared off, that is the number of students starting university this
:20:15. > :20:18.year. With me is Professor Deirdre Heenan and Paul Callaghan from
:20:19. > :20:21.Citizens Advice bureau. Paul, you have discussed student debt and the
:20:22. > :20:25.cost of going to university at your annual Conference, how difficult is
:20:26. > :20:31.it for dummies at the moment? It is really difficult and also a cause of
:20:32. > :20:36.real concern. We have seen many people coming through asking for
:20:37. > :20:39.advice on student debt. The biggest issue is people don't really
:20:40. > :20:44.understand what the implications of student loans are, what impact it
:20:45. > :20:47.will have live future earnings and take-home pay and the potential
:20:48. > :20:51.disorder of life after university, buying a car or what impact it will
:20:52. > :20:56.have on buying a new house. This is not only for parents but also
:20:57. > :20:59.students. Deidre, is it going to get to the stage where university once
:21:00. > :21:03.again is only for the privileged and well off and therefore what damage
:21:04. > :21:06.with that dude that the Government of your students? It would be hugely
:21:07. > :21:11.damaging that we would not get to that stage. -- I hope we don't get
:21:12. > :21:14.to that stage. It is important that people are able to access higher
:21:15. > :21:19.education but that is a number-1 concern parents when their children
:21:20. > :21:24.are about to leave. They are worried about that. It is important that
:21:25. > :21:29.students are well informed and use what is called as good loans, the
:21:30. > :21:33.student loan company and not credit card or bank loans. There are some
:21:34. > :21:38.families who perhaps with their young people, it is the first time
:21:39. > :21:41.they have experienced university in their family. How off-putting is it
:21:42. > :21:45.for them as Mac it is a real problem. We really want to get
:21:46. > :21:49.across that really it is better to look at student loans as almost like
:21:50. > :21:54.a graduate tax. You might not actually ever paying off the debt
:21:55. > :21:57.that you take on depending on how much you earn. If you only earn
:21:58. > :22:01.?20,000 for the rest of your life you will but we never pay back
:22:02. > :22:07.anything. It is not just a matter of does the taxpayer pay 40 students or
:22:08. > :22:11.the families paid, it is other options that we need to explore.
:22:12. > :22:16.Businesses and employees in terms of paying for third level education
:22:17. > :22:21.will stop it is not black and white. It is a devolved issue. We have to
:22:22. > :22:24.have an informed conversation. It is something that is a reality for
:22:25. > :22:28.families. Something that families are worrying about and we ought to
:22:29. > :22:32.discuss it and ensure we make the best decision for Northern Ireland
:22:33. > :22:36.and for the people here. Professor Deirdre Heenan, thank you, and Paul
:22:37. > :22:39.Callaghan. If you would like to share your experience of the cost of
:22:40. > :22:40.going to university, check out our Facebook page. The addresses on the
:22:41. > :22:44.screen. Are you or members
:22:45. > :22:46.of your family permanently Well, on BBC Newsline next week,
:22:47. > :22:50.we'll have a special series looking at smartphones
:22:51. > :22:59.and digital technology. Four out the five adults now use a
:23:00. > :23:03.smartphone. And the latest research suggests more and more of us are
:23:04. > :23:08.becoming addicted to them. So what impact is this having on our lives?
:23:09. > :23:13.How is it affecting families? What is it doing to our social lives?
:23:14. > :23:17.Good question, and how is it changing the way we work and where
:23:18. > :23:21.we work? And what impact is at having on our health on BBC Newsline
:23:22. > :23:26.next week we will be taking a close look. Oh, and I will be ditching my
:23:27. > :23:29.smartphone for seven days to see if I can cope. I don't think he will be
:23:30. > :23:30.able to. Now sport - and the next wave
:23:31. > :23:34.of World Cup qualifiers is upon us. It's relentless, Tara - the big
:23:35. > :23:37.football wheel keeps on turning. It's Northern Ireland v San Marino
:23:38. > :23:40.in Belfast on Saturday. Tonight, in Group D,
:23:41. > :23:43.Georgia are in Dublin From the venue, here's our reporter
:23:44. > :23:56.Thomas Kane. Even at this early stage of the
:23:57. > :24:01.campaign, the next four days could prove to be crucial for Martin
:24:02. > :24:04.O'Neill's site. For very into an evenly matched teams and only one
:24:05. > :24:08.automatic qualifying spot for Russia, Group D is said to be one of
:24:09. > :24:12.the most competitive. It means it is imperative not to slip up against
:24:13. > :24:19.Moldova and Georgia. The manager is taking nothing for granted. If
:24:20. > :24:23.anyone here had watched the Georgia match against Austria, they caused
:24:24. > :24:27.Austria a lot of problems. A lot of problems during the course of the
:24:28. > :24:31.game. They could have forced an equaliser and could have scored
:24:32. > :24:38.first in the game in fact. It is a difficult game. Anybody who watched
:24:39. > :24:43.the game in the last couple of years would realise that this is a
:24:44. > :24:49.difficult match for us. Georgia will take points from teams without a
:24:50. > :24:53.doubt. I would say, considering if you're talking about rankings, which
:24:54. > :24:59.I don't go along with anyway, they have got to be the best ranked side
:25:00. > :25:03.playing in the particular groups. The Republic of Ireland have won all
:25:04. > :25:07.of their previous contests against the opponents tonight. We will have
:25:08. > :25:10.all the best of the action in our late BBC Newsline bulletin. That is
:25:11. > :25:27.at 10:30pm. The games are over but the fallout
:25:28. > :25:33.continues. All the officials have been suspended from the boxing
:25:34. > :25:36.tournament until an investigation has been carried out. That is the
:25:37. > :25:47.sport. Let's get the weather. We have had a
:25:48. > :25:55.problem with our computer system. We are starting with this lovely
:25:56. > :25:58.picture. It was taken yesterday from Dundrum out towards the more
:25:59. > :26:03.mountains. A lovely twilight scene. Now the cloud is breaking out, the
:26:04. > :26:08.breeze picking up the cloud, we might see scenes like this again
:26:09. > :26:12.this evening. Also in Dublin, pretty similar skies there is the Republic
:26:13. > :26:15.of Ireland take on Georgia. Clear skies but also that cool
:26:16. > :26:24.south-easterly breeze. Through this evening the first part of tonight...
:26:25. > :26:30.Temperatures falling away. Around seven or eight Celsius. Although the
:26:31. > :26:32.breeze is easing down we do get more cloud coming in on the
:26:33. > :26:37.south-easterly breeze and that will indicate what is coming in tomorrow.
:26:38. > :26:42.Cloudy skies and a few showers in the forecast compared to what we
:26:43. > :26:48.have had lately. Mainly across the eastern counties. Not all parents
:26:49. > :26:56.will get them. Light and scattered. In the west you might not see any at
:26:57. > :26:59.all. Highs of 14 Celsius. As we head into the weekend, high pressure are
:27:00. > :27:04.still over us. Mainly light winds and should be some bright spells.
:27:05. > :27:08.Thank you, Angie. I will be back with our latest news at 10:30pm.
:27:09. > :27:09.Keep in touch on Facebook and Twitter.
