MI5 agents begin moving into their new Ulster headquarters

MI5 agents have started moving into their new Northern Ireland headquarters as the security agency is just weeks away from taking control of anti-terror operations.

The multi-million pound building is being developed as the PSNI and Security Services put the finishing touches on detailed agreements about intelligence sharing.

When those agreements are finished, MI5 will take over the lead responsibility for national security in Northern Ireland from the police.
