County Tyrone Ireland

One careful owner

For Sale: A unique once in a lifetime opportunity to buy a huge site in east Belfast at a knockdown price.

This 18-acre development opportunity on the outskirts of Belfast has only had one careful owner, who has relocated to County Tyrone because of work commitments.

Surprisingly spacious, with excellent transport links and formerly a home to over 4,000 contented, young professionals during the past decade; can you afford to miss out on one of the best value investment opportunities to come on the market in recent years?

Yours for just £5m.

A bit of a stretch perhaps but this could be a very real scenario in the near future.

At the last Policing Board meeting it was confirmed that the entire Garnerville training college could be sold when the PSNI relocates to County Tyrone.

Since its inception in 2001 the PSNI has trained 4,033 new officers at Garnerville.

A new £140m training college is being built at Desertcreat, outside Cookstown. The PSNI will share it with the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service and the Northern Ireland Prison Service. It is due to be completed in 2015.

That means the current college in east Belfast will be unnecessary and potentially unwanted. And that is where potential buyers could sneak in.

A Belfast commercial and residential estate agent estimates that the 18-acre site could be worth £5m at current market prices.

The only stumbling block would be that any uses for Garnerville as a public sector property must be considered first. Could it be used for more civil service office space? Will much-needed social housing be built on it?

When these avenues are exhausted, and only then, will Garnerville be put on the market. And whatever money is made from the sale will be ploughed back into paying for the new training college at Desertcreat.

A similar fate awaits the PSNI's much smaller training facility at the Steeple in Antrim. Any proceeds from its sale will also go towards paying for the new college.

In a statement the Policing Board made clear that keeping the huge site within public usage was the priority, but could not rule out having to sell it.

"In due course the site will be submitted to Land and Property Services to be circulated throughout the public sector for expressions of interest in the first instance, in accordance with guidance for the 'Disposal of Public Sector Surplus Property'," read the statement.

What Next for Darren Clarke

Golfer Darren Clarke says he has not slept a wink since winning the Open Championship at Royal St George's.

In this article, you may find what next for Darren Clarke. If you want to know much more golf clubs reviews or golf news, you may read this funny article about  TaylorMade R11 Driver Review .

Following his three-shot victory at Sandwich, Clarke told reporters on Monday he had been up all night celebrating.

"I've looked at the trophy all night and I sort of semi-figured out it's mine... but it hasn't quite sunk in just yet," he said.

"(After the win) I had quite a few pints and quite a few beers and quite a few glasses of red wine and it all continued until 30 minutes ago.

"I have 294 (text) messages and the writing is far too small for me to be looking at them at this stage. So, I might look at them tomorrow."

Clarke dedicated his victory to his two sons - Tyrone and Conor.

Friends have now predicted the two boys, aged 13 and 11, would one day follow in their father's footsteps.

The siblings, the elder aptly named after Clarke's home county, often score well in competitions for the next generation of Northern Ireland golfers.

Their 42-year-old dad secured his maiden major by three shots to give the UK its first Open win in 12 years. Ulster has now won three of the last six majors.

First Minister Peter Robinson said there was no more deserving winner: "Scotland may be the spiritual home of golf, but Northern Ireland is home to the world's best golfers."

Clarke grew up and learned his craft in Dungannon, County Tyrone, but Portrush in County Antrim has been home since losing his wife Heather to cancer five years ago.

Rory McIlroy, who successfully defended fellow countryman Graeme McDowell's US Open title last month, said: "Northern Ireland has become the golfing capital of the world."
