Dunmurry Manor


Families of residents of the scandal hit care home Dunmurry manor say their solicitor is considering taking legal action against all statutory agencies up to and including former health ministers.
This is the third day of the Nolan show's investigation into just what went on in the home for elderly people just outside Belfast. On your behalf we have put more questions into the PPS, the PSNI, Runwood homes ltd and the RQIA.
In a moment we will speak to the chief commissioner of the Northern Ireland Human rights commissioner, Les Allemby. He will say "guaranteeing the dignity of vulnerable older people in the care of others is a fundamental right and those responsible for any violation must be held to account, and the victims and their families provided with an effective remedy."

Its been a busy few days for Sinn Fein and the DUP.
DUP leader Arlene Foster has defended her decision to attend a Stormont event later this month to recognise the LGBT contribution to Northern Ireland.
That comes soon after Mrs Foster met with members of the Fermanagh GAA team ahead of their Championship final,
and attended an Islamic festival celebration, saying she wanted to "reach out the hand of friendship".

IRFU

Former Ulster players Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding could return to play for Ireland in the future,
says IRFU performance director David Nucifora.
The players were found not guilty of rape after a nine-week trial earlier this year.
But their Ulster and Ireland contracts were revoked because of social media and text messages revealed in court.
