The mother of a young woman who was killed on the A5 says the long-awaited upgrade will help save lives, but it is “bittersweet" for those who have lost loved ones. We speak to Hugh Harper, whose 14-year-old daughter died in the Cresslough explosion. Four years on from the tragedy, he tells us the family remain desperate for answers. And Derry City interim manager Mark Connolly responds after James McClean releases a statement hitting out at the club's treatment of him amid an ongoing contract dispute.
