BBC redundancies have become BBC news in Northern Ireland, with four familiar names leaving the Belfast newsroom. Political Editor (for 18 years) Mark Devenport signalled his departure earlier this year - at 59, he intends to enrol on a drama course. One presumes he's departing as "a bump" (an HR term for setting his redundancy against another comparable post closure - his particular role will have to be continued by someone else).
Also going - former presenter/arts and education correspondent Maggie Taggart, Newsline reporter Mervyn Jess and investigative reporter Kevin Magee.
