This is BBC Newsline Noel Thompson and Donna Traynor. The headlines | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
this evening: Gardai believe they have prevented a mortar attack on | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
this side of the border. Two GAA officials are knocked out during | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
violence at the end of a ladies' football match. There was nothing | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
to suggest anything had happened prior to that and that makes it | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
more disturbing. The Fire Service spends �8 million fighting this | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
year's gorse fires. Looking back 40 years and the Festival launched to | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
celebrate the foundation of Northern Ireland. We'll meet the | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Northern Ireland team heading to the World Cup finals. It has turned | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
a bit fresher but at least tonight should be more comfortable for | :00:56. | :01:05. | |
sleeping. Join me later. The Gardai believe they foiled a | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
mortar bomb attack and possibly a car bombing on this side of the | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
border. They raided a farm on Saturday and made a significant | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
find of explosives. The operation centred on the town land of | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
Hackballscross in County Louth. The army carried had a controlled | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
:01:28. | :01:29. | ||
explosion at the site. It was on Saturday morning that | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
detectives raided this farm close to Hackballscross. Inside they | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
found huge quantities of fertiliser that is being mixed in preparation | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
for making the explosives that were used by the IRA during the Troubles. | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
Now it is being linked to the dissident group. The farm is just a | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
short distance from the border with South Armagh. Right in the heart of | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
a traditional Republican stronghold. Two men, both in the Fifties, were | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
arrested at the scene. I understand one of them is the property's owner | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
when the other also comes from the Hackballscross area and is known to | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
Gardai. A mortar tube was also found that experts spent some six | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
bars of the property on Saturday and at one stage, controlled out a | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
controlled explosion. Six for the suspects were arrested earlier on | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
in the week. On the Dublin-based security expert says the increase | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
in arrests and seizures we have seen recently is due to both | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
increased activity by the dissidents and improved | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
intelligence gathering by the Gardai. They have been a number of | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
arrests and seizures and despite these successes by the Gardai and | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
PSNI, does it and are still determined to carry out more | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
attacks on security forces. This brings to eight, the number of | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
dissidents suspects arrested in the Republic over the past week. The | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
other six men were believed to be connected to the Real IRA. With the | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
dissident groups of clearly acted in the border area, it seems the | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
security forces in Northern Ireland would have no choice but to remain | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
:03:24. | :03:27. | ||
on high alert. The cost of dealing with 800 gorse | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
fires has topped one side 8 million. On the May Day bank holiday, the | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
Fire Service answered a call for every 45 seconds. Farm, Forest or | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
open the whole site, mostly around Ballycastle and the Mourne | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
mountains. The highest cost this year has been in the side down area. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
There were 519 incidents, costing �1.3 million. For the whole of | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Northern Ireland, there have been over 3000 incidents, costing over � | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
8 million. In the last three financial years, they have been | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
almost 11,000 deliberate fires, costing a massive �28.2 million. | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
I am dealing with a fire in that the mountains, I will do with that | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
but as we're getting more and more involved, it becomes busier and I | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
am going to have to make some tough decisions. Do I send firefighters | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
up to protect our beautiful countryside? But I have the | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
resources, I will. Or do I use them to protect life and property, that | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
would be a priority for me. Harrowing for Rangers would save | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
money, according to this group. know where the fires often start | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
and this is one place where they have been first before. It is very | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
hard to prevent these but with four or five people available, we think | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
we could probably maintain a presence that would be a deterrent | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
and if not a deterrent, an early warning system. This fire raged for | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
almost three days at the end of April and experts are worried that | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Forest might never recover. It brought widespread environmental | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
damage and losses to local farms and businesses. The fire service | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
now has a bill of �8 million for such virus for just the first six | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
months of this year. They will be hoping no more of the countryside | :05:15. | :05:25. | |
:05:25. | :05:34. | ||
goes up in smoke. The European Commission has | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
indicated its support for a new round of peace money for Northern | :05:37. | :05:46. | |
Northern Ireland could become one of the most attractive Gaughan | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
locations in the world but as Rory McIlory lifted the trophy, the | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
locker and the sort continues to look for a buyer after | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
administrators were appointed. Invest NI poured �3.5 million of | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
public money into the venture. Today, the chief Executive defended | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
the decision and blame the Bank of Scotland in Ireland for the | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
administration. The facility is a world-class facility that we should | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
be proud of and I believe that when you get below the surface of the | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
reasons why the events occurred the way they did, it was purely as a | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
result of a bank wanting to get out of Northern Ireland. It is not a | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
fundamental underperformers of the facility. We saw the facility | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
growing and making a profit and we still are very supportive of that | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
facility. Invest NI says it has had a good year and one of the | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
companies it has enticed to come, and international law firm, will be | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
locating 300 staff in central Belfast. Attracting customers from | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
outside Belfast is considered to be an important engine of growth for | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
the economy and its in areas like that and others that invest NI says | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
it has so passed its key targets. It received promises from 41 | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
international companies that they will create more than 2800 jobs | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
here over the next five years. Each one of will receive an average | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
grant of �11,500. With Invest NI doing so well at attracting new | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
jobs, why is unemployment creeping upwards? We need to look at the | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
time frame between the unemployment and the news that we had given out | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
this morning. Those will be delivered at some point in the | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
future so there is a time-lag between the few. Under rules to | :07:38. | :07:48. | |
:07:48. | :07:48. | ||
offer cash to come here, has to end by 2013. That is why it is seen by | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
supporters as an important way of giving the economy and it. | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
So to come on the programme: Remembering of the party to | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
celebrate the birth of Northern Ireland. Ulster 71 is on two levels | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
and these are the first exhibits upstairs. They are all people who | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
are famous in Ulster. The evolution of the home help, | :08:13. | :08:22. | |
cutting-edge research at the University of Ulster. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
The GAA is investigating assaults which left a referee and an | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
official unconscious in County Tyrone at the weekend. They were | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
attacked after the final whistle in the women's senior final between St | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
a cartons and Carrickmore. A-night of sport turned to shock. A | :08:41. | :08:49. | |
last minute free-kick meant Carrickmore were beaten by one.. | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
The referee paid a price for his decision to award the kick. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Somebody apparently came off from the edge of the feared and approach | :08:57. | :09:06. | |
me and threw a punch at me. I can't remember anything else after that | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
event. Apparently I came out of my unconscious state five minutes | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
later. I didn't realise the chairman of the board had also been | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
injured in a separate attack. men had to be taken to hospital for | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
treatment. If they have an issue with the referee, in normally | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
finishes with the final whistle and that is the way games are conducted. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
On this occasion, we had accepted, taking it on the chin, quite | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
literally, and we will move on. I would not be removing myself from | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
the football field because of this incident. Carrickmore said there | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
are investigating a and the GAA say this has raised questions. What | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
happened on Friday night, I think there are a lot of clubs now taking | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
stock, how can we play our part to make sure that doesn't happen to | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
our referee in our grounds and by our supporters. In a statement, the | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
Tyrone ladies county board say there was a serious incident | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
involving officials after the match. They condemned the perpetrators of | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
the assaults and say a full investigation has been launched. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
How that investigation will be conducted will be discussed at a | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
full general meeting of the Tyrone the Ladies' County Board. The last | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
72 hours should have been spent talking about high the ladies had | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
won their third title in a row and instead, violence, rather than | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
sport, has done it. The European Commission has | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
indicated its support for a new round of peace money for Northern | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
Ireland and the Republic's border counties. The current �300 million | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
programme, known as Peace 3, is due to run out in two years' time and | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
had been thought it would not be renewed. But at the opening of the | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
new peace bridge in Londonderry, a senior European official raised the | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
prospect of more money coming our way. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Fireworks and festivities marked this weekend's opening of the new | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
peace bridge over the River Foyle. The �30 million for the bridge came | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
from Europe's peace and reconciliation fund. The cash for | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
what is known as Peace 3 runs out in 2013 but now a senior European | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
official believes a new programme is needed. I think it might be | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
necessary to continue, I will do everything I can to make sure money | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
is available in the future, but as you might have heard, in particular, | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
the British government is not in favour to spend a lot of money for | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
European projects but I hope by the end of the day, we will find a | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
positive solution. Hard at work on a new walkway around a lake in | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
north Belfast's Alexandra Park, the park is divided by a peace line but | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
the groundwork regeneration group is using a grant from Europe to | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
improve its facilities. Community workers from both sides of the line | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
are anxious that projects like this should continue. At one time, it | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
was a no-go area for the people of Tiger's Bay and I think it is a big | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
plus if we can carry on with the progress we are getting in around | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
this part. This is a very practical project. We have seen here a | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
passionate transformation and we hope it will be a full | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
transformation in regard to the park. So, the omens are looking | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
good but before of people in peace line areas like this can be assured | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
of any extra cash, European member states will have to resolve their | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
wider differences over the total European budget and that could be a | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
:12:58. | :13:01. | ||
Many people would remember 1971 as the year internment was introduced | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
in Northern Ireland, but few remember the great exhibition that | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
was staged in Belfast that year, Ulster '71. | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Yes, it's all but forgotten now, but in this 40th anniversary, our | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
reporter Julie McCullough has been delving into the archives. | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
And she reports from Botanic Gardens in south Belfast. | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Well, this is where it all happened 40 years ago. These gardens were | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
filled with marquees and a funfair while the main exhibition was in | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
what is now Queen's Physical Education Centre. This was supposed | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
to be Northern Ireland's version of the famous Festival of Britain, but | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
:13:43. | :13:56. | ||
it was overshadowed then and now by Northern Ireland in 1971. It | :13:56. | :14:03. | |
fuzzier be stopped using old currency, it was the year that led | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
Zeppelin played stairway to Heaven for the first time in the Ulster | :14:07. | :14:17. | |
:14:17. | :14:20. | ||
And it was the year of the Troubles. The be the started to kick-off. | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
Provisionals are shot dead the first British soldier. By August, | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
the government had introduced internment. But this was the year | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
one of the biggest exhibitions of its time it took place. They said | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
we should not have had the festival, the time is not bright. The | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
atmosphere is too rowdy and the future is to cloudy. But as usual, | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
they said a lot of tripe. government at Stormont said they | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
had been planning their exhibition for three years to mark the 50th | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
anniversary of the creation of a Northern Ireland. But in 1971, it | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
became increasingly difficult to celebrate something that was in | :15:06. | :15:16. | |
:15:16. | :15:18. | ||
trouble. They had stopped talking about about it as a state jubilee, | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
but as a community of festival. All parts of the community were to work | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
together. If all parts of the committee could have worked | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
together, it would have boded well for settling community problems. | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
Easier said than done in 1971. Especially when a large part of the | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
community felt there was not anything about partition to | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
celebrate. They felt the exhibition offered nothing to them. Ulster was | :15:48. | :15:58. | |
:15:58. | :16:00. | ||
mentioned everywhere, every place you went. It was a term | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
appropriated by Unionist government and parties, so National latest -- | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
nationalists felt alienated. They felt it only appealed to one side | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
of the committee. The main exhibition will be in the new | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
sports centre at... As young Unionists, some of us were really | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
annoyed because the essential thing about the foundation of Northern | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
Ireland was neglected. Northern Ireland was our place and it had | :16:31. | :16:39. | |
been bought to deliver the cost of lives and struggle. -- it had been | :16:39. | :16:49. | |
:16:49. | :16:53. | ||
got at a dear price. Joining in the fund mack seemed to light hearted | :16:53. | :17:03. | |
:17:03. | :17:09. | ||
an idea. These are the first exhibit. -- joining in the fund | :17:09. | :17:17. | |
seemed a very light hearted idea. It was very well done. They brought | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
in professionals from London to expose a northern Ireland. Critics | :17:23. | :17:30. | |
said, with some justification, that this is mealy unionism in Northern | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
Ireland beating the big drum for itself. Yes, undoubtedly that was | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
true. What was also true was that we were beginning to feature on the | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
world stage and we needed something else for people to focus on. Back | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
in 1971, three quarters of a million pounds was spent with the | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
idea of making this one of the most memorable festivals of its time. It | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
was vital that people came to see it. The organisers give up of lots | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
of different ways to attract visitors. One of which was to get | :18:08. | :18:13. | |
Cox cornflakes to run a competition with the first prize being a week's | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
holiday in northern Allah. But when you consider what was going on here | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
at the time, it led some people to ask if the second prize was at two | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
weeks? That competition never ran. But thousands of people from here | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
did visit the exhibition and had great memories of it. Most were not | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
interested or aware of the politics behind it, just happy to have | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
something to go to. Tomorrow evening, we'll be hearing | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
the memories of some of those who both visited the festival and took | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
part. Back to you in the studio. Long before our time. | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
Totally. Intelligent robots who can think | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
and reason sound like the stuff of a sci-fi movie, but it's happening | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
at the University of Ulster's campus at Magee. A team of | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
researchers are working to build robots who learn from their | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
mistakes and experiences, just like we do. It's all about making them | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
more human so they can help us out at homes and work. | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:36. | ||
BBC Newsline's Natasha Sayee has Sure his Lordship then, Mabel. | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
has taken are signs many years, but we have finally got here. There is | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
a robot can easily make a cup of coffee and it does much more. The | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
team here have programmed the 400,000 by the shame to work a | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
pretty complex problems. -- �400,000 machine to work out | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
complex problems. Robots like this could soon be working out in our | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
homes. This robot is capable of handling several objects. It can | :20:10. | :20:18. | |
help to prepare food, make coffee, ford clothes. It can help with | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
everyday tasks which can be difficult for people with | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
disabilities, or elderly people. This robot can help them. It does | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
look a bit like Terminator's hands. The plan is to make it useful to | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
humans. That is the purpose of all the robots here. At the moment, | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
they are very simple. They do tasks they are programmed for, but that | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
is it. If the task changes, you have to change the programme. We | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
want to get into a situation where if the task changes, they can | :20:56. | :21:04. | |
automatically react. researchers are leading the world | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
in a developing these intelligent machines. They could soon be coming | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
to a house near you. It is clear that what is being developed here | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
today will have a very big impact on tomorrow. Thank you. That is it | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
:21:30. | :21:45. | ||
from here. We need to watch out! Would a MOD... | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Next to a sports team from Northern Ireland which is about to contest a | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
World Cup. Austin O'Callaghan's with them at Stormont. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
We're here with the Northern Ireland netball team who are having | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
a reception before they leave for the World Cup Finals in Singapore. | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
We'll be chatting to some excited members of the travelling party | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
shortly. But first Tyrone and Armagh's stranglehold on Gaelic | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
Football's Ulster Championship has finally been broken. Donegal will | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
play Derry in next month's final after they beat Tyrone in a | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
dramatic finish to yesterday's semi-final. Thomas Niblock takes up | :22:12. | :22:22. | |
:22:22. | :22:25. | ||
The Joy was obvious. Donegal are back in an Ulster final. For the | :22:25. | :22:35. | |
first time since 1992. Just before the final whistle, the game was | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
:22:45. | :22:51. | ||
destined for a draw until this happened. A goal! It must be! | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
:23:01. | :23:01. | ||
has always said to go for it. We have had a lot of pain or the last | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
few years, we have not produced anything. But we are now in the | :23:06. | :23:16. | |
:23:16. | :23:19. | ||
final. Michael Hart said it that too many chances were missed. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
was not something that you would normally have been booked for, but | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
I think somebody else intervened. I do not think it was consistent | :23:27. | :23:34. | |
across the Wall Game. Some incidents got away. -- the whole | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
:23:44. | :23:46. | ||
game. The key things where the goals and that is what one our game. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
It worked out very well for us. great afternoon for the Donegal | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
players, the supporters and the manager's family. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
There were important qualifier wins for Antrim and Down, but the most | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
eye-catching Gaelic Football result of the weekend was in Ruislip where | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
London knocked Fermanagh out of the championship with a 15 points to 9 | :24:04. | :24:13. | |
win. It's the exiles first championship victory for 34 years | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
and ends a hugely disappointing football year for the Erne county. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
London's hunger all across the pitch was phenomenal. We did not | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
match it and ultimately that was a difference. We performed well | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
against London this year, but they have had five or six good players | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
in since then. Good luck to them. They will give whoever they meet in | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
the next round are plenty of trouble. Hopefully, these ladies | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
will give trouble to have they meet at the next round in Senator. You | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
are off in the morning, this is a big deal? It is. It is the top of | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
her game and we are hoping to be up to it when they get over there and | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
become prove that we are good enough. Can you believe that you | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
are competing in the world Championship? It is a big surprise, | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
but we haven't worked hard. Some people may not know too much about | :25:12. | :25:21. | |
met Paul -- netball, but you know what it is like. I have played at | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
the higher levels before. It is totally different. It is mostly a | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
Commonwealth sport. What should we expect from this team or the next | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
few weeks? Probably the fighting Irish is what we are known for. We | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
will dig deep. We will fight hard for every resort. Well, we wish you | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:56. | ||
well. Good luck. Just time to tell you that Rory market Roy -- for | :25:56. | :26:06. | |
:26:06. | :26:06. | ||
Rory McIlroy is now up to number It has turned a litter the fresher | :26:06. | :26:16. | |
:26:16. | :26:19. | ||
today after the weekend when we saw temperatures in the low twenties. | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
Not as warm beer as it was in parts of the south-east of England. 33 | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
there, compare that with 18 in Northern Ireland. But at least the | :26:30. | :26:38. | |
cloud has started to shift away to the east. It is going to be a | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
cooler and clearer might. Many places around eight or nine degrees. | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
Rural spot so that law. A cool start the day tomorrow, but it is | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
also a bright one. Some lovely sunshine in the morning. But do not | :26:55. | :27:03. | |
forget the umbrella if your heading out just in case. Some blue skies | :27:03. | :27:11. | |
coming through before the shower clouds start to bubble up. They | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
will do that first of all in the West. That will be in the late | :27:15. | :27:22. | |
morning, early afternoon. But I think we could find a few heavier | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
showers are developing a cross Antrim later in the afternoon. Not | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
all parts will get them. Some places will avoid them and stay dry. | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
A little bit fresher around the coast. But at least you might get a | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
bit of relief from the high pollen levels. Tomorrow night, that | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
showery rain moves away to the east. For many of us, a largely dry night | :27:48. | :27:52. |
