:01:57. > :02:01.but neighbours say his girlfriend of a child are usually there. In their
:02:02. > :02:07.absence this home became a crime scene. The attack took place just
:02:08. > :02:10.before quarter to two this morning. Seconds afterwards, neighbours went
:02:11. > :02:13.to see they could help the victim. I've spoken to a neighbour who

:02:46. > :02:48.yet, there was no known motive. We are genuinely unclear on the motive.
:02:49. > :02:50.That is one of the things I am appealing for today. Somebody must
:02:51. > :02:52.know why this person was targeted, it was orchestrated and carefully

:02:55. > :02:58.anything about the individual that was targeted. We need your help in

:04:06. > :04:10.So, in your constituency you will vote all to Unionists and then SDLP
:04:11. > :04:14.next? Yes. As for his would-be political partner, he was less
:04:15. > :04:20.willing to show his hand. I will be voting for myself, number one, and I

:08:13. > :08:14.against a whistle-blower in the Garda Siochana is threatening
:08:15. > :08:19.the coalition government in Dublin. Sinn Fein is set to table a no
:08:20. > :08:26.confidence vote in the government. Our Dublin correspondent
:08:27. > :08:28.Shane Harrison is with us. Is is a new development in a long
:08:29. > :08:46.running whistleblower story - Well, as a whistle-blower, Maurice
:08:47. > :08:55.McCabe claimed, correctly, that some well-connected people were getting
:08:56. > :09:00.their driving lion... This angered senior members of the force.
:09:01. > :09:04.Whistle-blowers were described as disgusting. What has now emerged is
:09:05. > :09:08.that the daughters of one of those officers disciplined because of
:09:09. > :09:14.Sergeant McCain has claimed that she was abused as a child by him. It has
:09:15. > :09:18.to be says there is no evidence to support that claim. What is now
:09:19. > :09:30.going to happen is a commission of investigation will enquire in
:09:31. > :09:36.private as to whether the current... The commission will also investigate
:09:37. > :09:40.how a file and that whistle-blower came to be created once an employee
:09:41. > :09:46.of the child protection agency copied and pasted a file against
:09:47. > :09:50.somebody else, a claim of child sexual abuse against somebody else
:09:51. > :09:55.into his file. Sergeant McCabe and his family this evening had issued a
:09:56. > :10:03.statement saying they are opposed to any further enquiry held in private.
:10:04. > :10:06.Sinn Fein are to table a motion of no confidence in the government.
:10:07. > :10:09.So, how will all this play-out politically
:10:10. > :10:19.The man of the government, including independent in Cabinet and is
:10:20. > :10:25.dependent on the support... Relationships between the two
:10:26. > :10:29.parties and very good at the moment. The Justice minister, was told on
:10:30. > :10:35.Wednesday about the angle to the story. She said she first learned
:10:36. > :10:39.about on Thursday night when she saw a television programme. Another
:10:40. > :10:42.minister that the opposition has targeted is the children's minister
:10:43. > :10:47.who met Sergeant McCabe in private but didn't tell her Cabinet
:10:48. > :10:51.colleagues about the child sex abuse allegation against him. It is
:10:52. > :10:55.against this background that Sinn Fein is tabling a motion of
:10:56. > :10:59.no-confidence in the government. This government has lost its
:11:00. > :11:04.authority to govern. There is no doubt that they have to go and that
:11:05. > :11:12.is why we have tabled this motion. Are astonished to see the position
:11:13. > :11:17.and antics, it seems they are prepared to play games with this
:11:18. > :11:20.most series of issues. As things stand it seems been a ball will
:11:21. > :11:27.abstain in the road and the government will survive. This all
:11:28. > :11:39.shows how fragile this minority government is and it may well hasten
:11:40. > :11:40.the end. Given that he said he would lead the party into the next general

:13:01. > :13:04.opinion, that is part of the problem we have in Northern Ireland, that
:13:05. > :13:09.people look beyond the issues that we have and they vote on who they
:13:10. > :13:14.think they should vote for, rather than the issues that we see

:14:09. > :14:20.look to them. With the NHS it is not on. That
:14:21. > :14:25.should be first priority. It is a big concern? Yes. We have a lovely
:14:26. > :14:32.hospital but you still have to go to Derry. Over the next few weeks what
