Good evening. The headlines: The Miami Showband | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
murders come up families they an investigation shows an RUC agent | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
was involved. Heavy snow fall brings destruction, | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
is there more to call? Torrential rain is thought to have | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
cost his landslide in Londonderry. A former priest is found guilty on | :00:41. | :00:49. | |
19 charges of sexual abuse. Violence Mars last night's local | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
football as this man is attacked by a supporter. | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
And we are expecting icy conditions on our roads and pavements. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
The murders of three musicians by loyalists in 1975 raised disturbing | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
questions about collusive and corrupt behaviour. According -- | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
that is according to a report by the historical inquiries team. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
They were carried out by a UVF gang posing as an army patrol. A band | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
member who described the -- the sick -- survived the attack | :01:28. | :01:35. | |
described the findings as mind- blowing. | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
Good morning everybody. Almost four decades after the Miami Showband | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
murders, survivors and relatives of the dead gathered to release the | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
findings of a report by the Historical Inquiries Team. Three | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
band members were murdered when a UVF gang planted a bomb in a car | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
near Banbridge in 19th and defied. The explosion and gun attack cost | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
the lives of Tony Geraghty, Tony Neate -- Brian McCoy, and two of | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
the UVF gang involved, as well as Brian Toon, the lead singer. | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
-- Fran O'Toole. It was devastating for us. There was a devastating | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
effect on my grandparents and my father. The report details the role | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
of May then leading loyalist, Robin Jackson. His fingerprints were | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
found on a wet been linked to the murders and when questioned by | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
police he told them he had been tipped off prior to be a rest by a | :02:43. | :02:51. | |
senior RUC officer and told to lie low. -- prior to the rest. If he | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
was involved in the Miami murders, who else was aware of his | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
involvement? Was he debrief by Special Branch or army | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
intelligence? What did they know about the attack and why was | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
nothing done about it? At least two of the ten-man gang involved were | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
UDR soldiers later convicted. This man survive the night. He says he | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
is still haunted by it. Francis and I were like brothers so it was sad | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
to lose him. It was just about music. One of the things I find | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
hard to understand is why we were picked out. We were just a band of | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
musicians whose job was to entertain people both North and | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
South, especially in the north, during those terrible times, to | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
bring a smile to people's faces. The Historical Inquiries Team says | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
it will pass this to the Police Ombudsman's office. Many people are | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
now dead who were in Bob and his case. The families of the Miami | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
Showband may have got as much information as they were going to. | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
The worst snow of the winter's the bar has caused disruption in many | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
parts. Counties in the north and west were worst affected. It is not | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
just the snow that has caused problems. Heavy rain led to | :04:17. | :04:26. | |
flooding and eight wall collapsing. -- a wall collapsing. | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
They were struggling to get up this road near Krul Island this morning. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
-- this road this morning. It was not an easy drive on the way down | :04:38. | :04:45. | |
either. Several inches of snow fell overnight, coating the road and the | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
fines on high ground. They gritting lorries were hard but it would take | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
time for the thought to do its job. In the meantime, some motorists had | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
fallen victim to the conditions. Driving over a little on the | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
outskirts of west Belfast was also treacherous first thing this | :05:05. | :05:12. | |
morning. So far, the snowfall has not been as heavy or as widespread | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
as they were during the big freeze of last winter but if you are stuck | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
in the middle of it, that is little in the way of confirmation. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
-- consolation. The snow affected many parts of County Londonderry, | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
not least in the Sperrins. Driving on the Glenshane Pass was | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
particularly difficult early this morning but by around 11, the worst | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
was cleared, leaving the road passable with care. In the City, | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
the weather caused a range of problems. Homes, cars and a church | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
were damaged. A landslide, just missing the | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
houses below. But not the cards. So much damage to see and also, the | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
stench of oil in the air. Other damage also do not use the... | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Behind me is Marlborough Terrace. It had been receiving protection | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
from this wall. It seems to have been there for some time and last | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
night it gave way. Underneath where it collapsed you can see a barn is | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
covered in debris such as masonry, sold, but what you can see | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
alongside it is a taxi. Residents are shocked. They have never seen | :06:32. | :06:40. | |
anything like it. My brother only got out half an hour before this | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
happened. Things could have been a lot worse. Thank God no one has | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
been injured or heard. Elsewhere, families having to leave their | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
homes and they may not be back for Christmas. Torrance a border were | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
coming around the houses and down the street. -- Paul Ince of water. | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Christmas presents were not so important any more. A short | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
distance away, the local church, help is at hand but it is taking | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
time. For some, time is crucial. is panic stations. I'm supposed to | :07:16. | :07:23. | |
be getting married on Tuesday. I might have to get my mop and bucket | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
out and give them a hand! Some clearing up will be done quickly | :07:27. | :07:37. | |
:07:37. | :07:38. | ||
but other damage will take much longer to clear up. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
There is more bad weather to come which could cause more scenes like | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
this one. This was taken by one of our viewers in Glenelly Valley in | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
County Tyrone. It is a worry when even the gritter end up in the | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
ditch. We are hearing already reports of black ice in the north- | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
west? We have heard that it is already | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
turning icy in places. Hopefully we will not see a repeat of this | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
morning over the next few days but there is still wintry weather to | :08:10. | :08:20. | |
:08:20. | :08:21. | ||
come over the next couple of days and for the rest of the week. As we | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
have heard, it is turning icy in places. There will be our eyes on | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
your car windscreen and also freezing fog. -- ice on your car | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
windscreen. It will be when treated the rest of the week. There will be | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
snow showers and round but we will have to wait and see if we get a | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
repeat of this morning. A jury at Belfast Crown Court has | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
found a former priest guilty of a series of sexual assaults against | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
remain in the 1980s and 1990s. He has been on trial since last month. | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
James Donaghy has been on trial since November, charged with 26 | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
offences including indecent assault, serious sexual assault and common | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
assault. There were three victims over a period from 1983 to be a | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
2000. -- the year 2000. The jury had deliberated and returned with | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
verdicts on 19 Afrikaans. He is guilty of indecent assault and | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
serious sexual assault. Three victims, two of them have waived | :09:31. | :09:41. | |
their anonymity, a fellow priest, and James Dougherty, a former altar | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
boy who moved to live in England. A former victim is a former trainee | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
for the priesthood. There was quiet sobbing from one of the defendant's | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
family members in the lobby. The jury will consider their remaining | :10:01. | :10:09. | |
seven counts tomorrow. Still to come... It's a Christmas | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
favourite but could that. Set up be harbouring a deadly pest? -- | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
poinsettia. And to Northern Ireland men qualify | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
for next summer's Olympics. Unemployment has fallen slightly in | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
Northern Ireland during the last three months, down from 7.4% to | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
6.9%, below the UK average. There are not as many jobs around. There | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
are 14,000 fewer people in work here than there were at the start | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
of last year. In this shrinking market even good qualifications and | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
relevant experience and no guarantee of employment. Many are | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
now looking to wider horizons in the search for work. | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
Keith Davidson has just finished his master's degree. Born and | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
raised in Ballinderry, he is going to Australia because even with his | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
qualifications, he cannot find a job here. It is not what he | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
envisaged when he began university. When I went to be the core of the | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
Environment was brilliant and I was told it was the perfect course to | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
do. -- when I went to do the course. The environment now is very Boruc. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
I find it hard to come across a job I would applied for, never mind get | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
an interview for. I have decided to go to Australia to try and broaden | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
my horizons and securing a job there. Out of a master's course of | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
36 people, about 35 or going to Australia. With �30,000 on my | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
education, I thought I would have got a good job in Northern Ireland | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
or the UK. It does not seem to happen. The ships used to. Right | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
here. But maritime history is remembered in this sculpture. It | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
has been a long time since that but the exodus is happening again today. | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
Unlike earlier years, those leaving are well qualified and they are | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
increasingly when experienced as well. Best recruitment consultant | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
has seen applications from senior managers and chief executives | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
jumped 25% in the last three months are and they are looking beyond | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
Northern Ireland as well. Managing directors and top level people are | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
losing their jobs and they are very experienced. There are less | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
opportunities for them. For every one or two senior managers there is | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
maybe 20 or 30 or 100 employees. There are no official figures for | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
emigration for Northern Ireland but when people with years of | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
experience cannot find work, there is evidence of a job situation | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
Tomorrow night Jim will be looking at the changing face of the High | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
Street in these austere times. A former British agent who worked | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
undercover in the IRA has begun giving evidence to the Smithwick | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Tribunal in Dublin. It's investigating allegations of Garda | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
collusion into the murders of senior RUC men Harry Breen and Bob | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
Buchanan in 1989. Our Dublin reporter Julie Kirby joins me now | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
live. Julie, this is the agent known as Kevin Fulton. What did he | :13:25. | :13:35. | |
:13:35. | :13:37. | ||
have say about these murders? Kevin Fulton was giving evidence | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
behind a screen today to protect his identity. He was told its - - | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
he told how he had joined the British Army and infiltrated the | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
IRA in 1980. He said he was in the House of mute player when new | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
skimming on - - of the two murders of the RDC officers and he was told | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
that our friend the gardener was involved, and he took that to mean | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
that the Garda had tipped off the IRA about their whereabouts. He | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
said it was the worst kept secret that this policeman was helping out | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
:14:27. | :14:28. | ||
the provisional IRA. He gave one example of a car being fountain | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
discard or removed fingerprints from it. Did he say who the Garda | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
was? He said he believed that the man was 01 Corrigan. He said he | :14:42. | :14:52. | |
:14:52. | :14:55. | ||
could not imagine he else it would be. Key said he was told that an - | :14:55. | :15:05. | |
:15:05. | :15:06. | ||
- that's a County Louth farmer or hides turns into an informer for | :15:06. | :15:16. | |
:15:16. | :15:16. | ||
the IRA. He was later shot dead. Kevin Fulton said that he was proud | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
of his work, but he did have an demons that he was having to live | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
with. Well, a day of treacherous road | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
conditions is not perhaps the best time to be reminded that drivers in | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
Northern Ireland are still paying more for car insurance than they do | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
in Great Britain. Typically, 11% more, according to the Office of | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
Fair Trading. Here is our consumer correspondent, Martin Cassidy. For | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
motorists across the United Kingdom, the cost of car insurance and isn't | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
celebrating - - is accelerating. It went up 9% in 2011. In Northern | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
Ireland motorists are paying even more. On average, 11 % more. The | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
Consumer Council says some motorists in country areas here | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
face significantly higher premiums. What is shocking is that we're | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
paying in will communities up to 70 % more than our counterparts in | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
rural communities in group Britain. That prohibits many people from | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
working, from accessing social activities and it is a form of | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
exclusion. Sir like his cards - - car insurance more expensive here? | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
But, according to the Office of Fair Trading, car accidents are | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
more frequent here. And then there are the personal injury claims here, | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
they tend to be more generous. Legal fees are also higher in | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
Northern Ireland. Consumers here could do more to help themselves. | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
The Office of Fair Trading report says that just over half of | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
motorists here compare car insurance quotes. In Britain, three | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
out of four driver shop around. The Association of British Insurance | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
says that for a minor whiplash came and individual in England to Wales | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
might get between �500 and �2,000. Here, the figures are very | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
different. The association says a person in Northern Ireland might | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
get as much as �8,000. We have a history were personal injury awards | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
were awarded by juries, which would be higher than those across the | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
water. We still tend to follow the same pattern. We do have problems | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
that record system as law. Tougher penalties for motorists who drive | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
without insurance would also help. They add around �30 their | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
:17:54. | :17:55. | ||
everyone's annual premium. - - to been a lot of reaction to this | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
story and, surprise, surprise, most people are telling us that they | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
think car insurance here is far too expensive. If you would like to | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
join the debate, the address is on screen now. Our journalists have | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
been updating on Twitter throughout the day. You can keep across all of | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
that at twitter.com/bbcnewsline. If you want to email us, it's | :18:10. | :18:16. | |
Tighter controls on plant movements here have been introduced follow | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
recent outbreaks of disease. It is thought that some of the recent | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
tree diseases came from imported plants. Even at Christmas time, | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
extra care is being taken to ensure new pests or infections can't sneak | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
in, as our environment correspondent, Mike McKimm, has | :18:27. | :18:37. | |
:18:37. | :18:38. | ||
been finding out. These are poinsettia. They're very | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
popular at Christmas. These ones are imported by the farming and | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
horticultural college at Greenmount. They look rather spectacular at | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
this time of year and they endured for a reason because these are | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
imported and the can harbour a rather horrible and exotic pest, | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
the tobacco whitefly. If it got out there it could cause a lot of | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
damage. We would put it through a quarantine periods of three weeks. | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
Weary able to monitor them on a daily basis and to check out if the | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
pests are there in the first place, and then to look at what | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
preventative measures we could take wanted images quarantine and moves | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
into the growing and production house. Last month 43,000. Sector | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
were destroyed in England's. It is already too late to exclude the | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
fungal disease that is killing cypress trees here. The infected | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
areas here can only be controlled to prevent their - - further spread. | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
Tens of thousands of Japanese larch trees have also died from disease, | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
the disease thought to have come from rhododendron. Rhododendron | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
should carry a planned passport. I would be checking that it carries | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
to protect - - correct paperwork. One site check documentation I do a | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
general health check on the plant, checking from the symptoms of | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
disease. A faded notice anything peculiar and I would issue a | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
detention notice and the plants would be taken off sale. That will | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
probably end up here at the laboratories in Belfast where they | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
are examined for pests and infection. They can even use DNA | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
samples. Controlling plant diseases getting harder, and it is not just | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
humans who ignore the warnings. Local football is back in the dock | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
tonight after violence marred last night's cup game in North Belfast. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Here's Stephen Watson. We have the exclusive footage of | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
the trouble and an interview with the player who was attacked by a | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
supporter. Coleraine's Johnny Black was punched just minutes after | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
scoring a late winning goal against Cliftonville. There were also | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
scuffles on the pitch between home supporters and stewards. The PSNI | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
arrested and later released on bail a 16-year-old male as they continue | :21:08. | :21:18. | |
:21:18. | :21:21. | ||
their investigation into the violence. Thomas Niblock reports. | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Emotions were running high last night after a dramatic finish at | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
solitude. Johnny Black's extra-time winner sent Coleraine through to | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
the Cup final and Cliftonville crashed out. As Johnny Black, | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
number 33, is leaving the pitch he was struck by a spectator. The | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
supporter who punched him was eventually caught by stewards and | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
later arrested by their police. was just walking off and saw | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
somebody coming up and he gave me a punch in the mouth. Hopefully he | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
will be dealt with, there is no place in football for that. It was | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
:22:13. | :22:13. | ||
not the only incident. We totally condemn the actions of a very few | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
morons last night. They have no place in football. I apologise to | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
Cliftonville. Unfortunately, we have got to redouble our efforts to | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
make sure the scenes never reoccur in football again. You cannot | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
legislate for things like that. When emotions run high at the end | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
of games, you can legislate for every single person the walks into | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
your ground. Am sure the powers that be will punish the | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
:23:00. | :23:00. | ||
perpetrators. The clubs will co- operate with any investigation. | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
Both clubs will be hopeful that these scenes will not be repeated | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
this Saturday as both Cliftonville in at - - Cliftonville and | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Coleraine meet again at solitude. Ballymena's Roy Walker was one of | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
three local football managers to part company with their clubs | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
yesterday. He quit the job after his team lost last night's other | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
Irn Bru Cup semi-final against Crusaders. | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
Two more Northern Ireland competitors secured qualification | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
today for next summer's London Olympics. Matt McGovern and Ryan | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Seaton will represent Ireland in sailing following an impressive | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
showing at this week's World Championships in Australia. Austin | :23:34. | :23:37. | |
O'Callaghan's report begins with the two sailors' video diary, which | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
:23:47. | :23:50. | ||
they have been keeping down under for BBC Newsline. | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
The first day in Australia. As you can see, the weather is tropical. | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
It is not as glamourous as you may think. We are in a car park and we | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
have just gone and bought some timber, a drill and a sore | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
underplanted days to put a refract on our hire car so we can transfer | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
our boat for Melbourne to Sydney. Luxury it isn't. The road to the | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
World Championships may have been unconventional for this pair, but | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
the journey to London has, in the end, been relatively smooth, even | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
if they have been living in each other's pockets since putting their | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
lives and university study on holds three years ago to pursue a Olympic | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
qualification. You would not believe how much time we spent | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
together. I look at people who are married and we spend even more time | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
than that. Going to the Olympics as a great honour. We're looking to go | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
and bring home medals. Even getting there is something that we have to | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
remember is a good achievement in itself. They will compete in the 49 | :25:01. | :25:08. | |
er class, the fastest of the sailing events. But securing your | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
ticket for London still does not excuse you from their DIY part of | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
the sport. One young man dreaming of Olympic | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
qualification is Ian Sloan. He is part of the Irish men's hockey team | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
who will try to make it to 2012 in the New Year. Today, the 17-year- | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
old schoolboy turned in a remarkable performance for his | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
school. The captain scored four goals and set up a fifth to help | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
Cookstown High beat Banbridge Academy 5-3 to win the McCullough | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
Cup. Well, time now for a full weather | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :25:55. | ||
Ice is the main hazard tonight. We're not expecting any more fresh | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
snow tonight, but it doesn't mean that we will not have some more | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
wintry weather in the next few days. Thank you very much for all your | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
:26:13. | :26:15. | ||
pictures. There is still plenty of snow over the hills and lying on | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
the ground. This lush will freeze. The height made all the difference | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
today. Redundancy level it was mainly falling as rain or sleet. So, | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
very icy conditions around and they will persist right through the | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
night in Inter tomorrow morning, with the added complication of some | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
fog. The winds will disappear tonight. Tonight we can expect very | :26:41. | :26:48. | |
calm conditions leading to dense areas of fog with a sharp frost, | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
temperatures falling down to five below freezing. So, for tomorrow | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
morning, there could well be ice and fog. Not too much in the way a | :26:59. | :27:09. | |
:27:09. | :27:13. | ||
During the afternoon there will be some cloudy and damp weather moving | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
up from the south-west. It will fill called tomorrow once again. By | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
lunchtime it will be relatively dry in the north and east, even with a | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
bit of sunshine. Towards the south- west, the skies will be cloudy and | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
we will see bits-and-pieces of rain and sleet. That will continue to | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
move northwards with most this is becoming dry again be the end of | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
the day and we can expect another very cold night tomorrow. There | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
will be an area of significance no developing over southern counties | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
of Ireland. At the moment it looks like it should not come much | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
further north than Dublin, but if it tells a could well be something | :27:51. | :27:58. | |
to watch out for. I suppose the advice is if you | :27:58. | :28:01. |
