Helicopter Crash: N Ireland's Richest Man Dies
Helicopter Crash: N Ireland's Richest Man Dies
The helicopter - an AgustaWestland AW139 - crashed in a wood in Gillingham, near the suffolk town of Beccles. It happened close to Gillingham Hall - one of the homes owned by Lord Ballyedmond, the richest man in Northern Ireland with an estimated wealth of £500m. The bodies of the four victims remain at the scene and next of kin are still being informed. Sky's Emma Birchley, who is at the scene, said it was unclear whether fog, which had affected the area earlier on Thursday, was a factor in the crash, which happened at around 7.30pm. Early morning fog was still making recovery difficult "The fog is certainly going to form part of the investigation. It was very foggy last night and it remains foggy now, which has made conditions for the emergency services very tricky," she said. An AgustaWestland spokesman said it was investigating the case, amid reports that Lord Ballyedmond was taking legal action against the firm in relation to possible safety defects with the helicopter. Inspector Louis Provart said emergency services were alerted after people living near the crash reported hearing a loud bang. Roland Bronk, owner of The Swan House restaurant in nearby Beccles, said it was "very foggy" in the area at the time of the crash. Emergency services at the site. Pic: Ryan Leddington Taxi driver Mark Murray, 22, from Beccles, said: "There is a large stately home nearby and you often see helicopters coming and going from there. "When they have a game shoot the guests often all arrive in separate helicopters. We don't know if that is linked, but that's the only helicopter activity we see in this area." The site is 45 miles from Cley Next The Sea, where four US airmen were killed in January when their Pave Hawk military helicopter came down in a marsh. Local roads remain closed As well as being in the in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing businesses, Lord Ballyedmond also ran an air travel business - Haughey Air - which owned a helicopter charter company. In 1996, three pilots were killed in a crash while en route from Belfast to his estate in County Down. Sky's Ireland Correspondent David Blevins said: "The 70-year-old owned Ballyedmond Castle in Rostrevor, County Down, Corby Castle in Cumbria, and 9, Belgrave Square in London, a six-storey townhouse purchased in 2006 for about £12m. Traffic backed up on the A143 near the crash scene. Pic: dom_bond "In the early '90s, he sat in the Irish Senate (Dublin's upper house) before being made a life peer in the Lords in 2004. Lord Ballyedmond initially sat as an Ulster Unionist before switching to the Conservative Party." Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness MLA said he was "shocked and sad to hear that Dr Eddie Haughey and three other people have lost their lives in a helicopter crash. My sympathy is with their families." NI Enterprise, Trade and Investment Minister, Arlene Foster MLA said: "Lord Ballyedmond was one of NI's most successful entrepreneurs, known for his leadership, integrity and global vision." Sinn Fein's Conor Murphy, MP for Newry and Armagh, told David Blevins he was "very, very saddened" by the fatal crash. He said: "It's a huge tragedy for all of the families involved and it's something that, I think, will shock the workforce here (at Norbrook Laboratories) particularly the very substantial workforce that Eddie Haughey had in the Newry area. "He certainly was a very strong-willed character. He established from nothing a very successful business."- published: 14 Mar 2014

N Ireland Crisis: 'Grave Concern' Over IRA Letters
N Ireland Crisis: 'Grave Concern' Over IRA Letters
It comes amid a row over whether letters sent to nearly 200 alleged IRA fugitives as part of the ongoing peace process provided them with immunity. Northern Ireland First Minister, the Democratic Unionist Party leader Peter Robinson, has withdrawn his threat to resign over the issue and has said he is satisfied theletters are not worth the paper they are written on and do not provide suspects with immunity. The scene of the 1982 Hyde Park bombing The writing of state-sanctioned letters, which effectively granted immunity from arrest, led to the collapse of the trial of John Downey, who was suspected of involvement in the 1982 Hyde Park bombing. Sky's Niall Paterson put it to Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers that the problem was "that for some people, at least, the impression has been given that a deal was done behind closed doors". "Unlike with the Good Friday agreement where people were released from prison but they retained their conviction and they had served a sentence, it does appear that people were being told they wouldn't even face trial," he said. In response, the Secretary of State conceded there was "grave concern" about the way the scheme, created by the previous government, was operated. Hyde Park bomb suspect John Downey But she reiterated her pledge that the so-called "amnesty" letters would not prevent suspects from being "questioned or prosecuted". She told Sky News: "All they did was to convey the factual position to individuals as to whether they were or were not sought by police for terrorist offences. If they had conferred an immunity, of course we would have scrapped the scheme there and then. "As they didn't, it was decided that it was permissable to continue the checks on those cases which were ongoing when this Government took office. "The letters don't provide immunity and anyone who is holding those letters should be well aware that if evidence emerges that connects them with terrorism then they would be arrested and prosecuted in the normal way. "The reason why the judge decided that the trial couldn't go ahead in John Downey's case is that he was sent a letter that was misleading. Peter Robinson says he is satisfied by the Government's response "The letter said that police in Northern Ireland didn't believe that Mr Downey was wanted for offences in Northern Ireland or anywhere else in the UK. Unfortunately it turned out at the time that they knew he was wanted by the Metropolitan Police in relation to the Hyde Park bombing. "It was that inaccuracy in the letter that went out which caused the problem with the trial. "But the letters themselves do not confirm immunity and that is what I have made very clear." "There is clearly grave concern about the way this scheme was administered ... and we are very clear (that) a full public account of the facts of how the scheme operated (should) be put in the public domain." Prime Minister David Cameron announced a judge-led inquiry into the arrangement on Thursday "to get to the bottom of what happened". He said the judge would have "full access to Government files and officials" and would report by May. Some 187 letters have been sent out as part of the peace process and 38 have been sent since the coalition came to power in 2010, although the applications were received before then, and the last was in December 2012.- published: 28 Feb 2014
