Speaking to the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme, Ms Long described the last week as "extraordinary", saying there is an "unprecedented number of families locally who feel it is unsafe to stay in their home".

Shelley told BBC Spotlight she felt "lonely" and "pathetic" after being dropped off at the door of the Ulster Hospital psychiatric ward without her daughter, but said staff tried their best.

"Everyday across Mid Ulster and across the north, cars speed past school buses, gambling with children's lives," he said.

All 25 passengers - made up of personnel from MI5, the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the British Army - were killed, along with the helicopter's four crew members.

Mr Fleming himself was delighted to be one of the first to undergo aquablation therapy at the Ulster Hospital.
