Where are the powerful people here in Northern Ireland using their power to say this will never happen again?

Last Thursday the Older person's commissioner released a report into his investigation in the home for older people who suffer from dementia. It said residents were left in their own urine for hours, faeces were found on curtains, patients with ungradable bed sores some of which were down to the bone, trays of food left in front of patients who couldn't feed themselves, massive weight loss with one man losing ten stone in 5 months. The list goes on. But where are the powerful people in Northern Ireland using their power to say this will never happen again?

Also on the programme: Lord Sugar has apologised after being accused of racism in a tweet in which he compared a picture of Senegal's World Cup Squad to beach sellers in Spain. The businessman and host of 麻豆社's The Apprentice later deleted the post but the tweet prompted a storm of criticism online with many calling for the 麻豆社 to fire him.

Plus, nearly a year after a blaze wiped out his family business, Tony Abbate re-opens the doors of Belfast Crystal. He spoke to our reporter Nicola Weir.
