Rick Farragher reports. An Irish Coastguard helicopter with

heat-seeking event called off its search for today at quarter to nine

:00:44.:00:49.

oh stop a lifeboat crew along with the Irish Coastguard have been

:00:50.:00:53.

searching for the third man for around six hours. When man was

:00:54.:00:57.

discovered in our after that. Conditions were described as trustee

:00:58.:01:01.

of the time of the incident. We are searching an area called viewpoint.

:01:02.:01:14.

There is an area... A few days fishing out on the lake. They were

:01:15.:01:19.

doing a bit of pike fishing. The weather wasn't great at the time.

:01:20.:01:23.

The search will resume at first light tomorrow.

:01:24.:01:29.

A County Londonderry gas fitter has been sent to jail for health and

:01:30.:01:33.

safety breaches that led to the deaths of two teenagers. George

:01:34.:01:35.

Browne from Ballygawley Road in Aghadowey got two years for the

:01:36.:01:39.

manslaughter of Aaron Davidson and Neil McFerran. They were poisoned by

:01:40.:01:42.

fumes from a boiler Brown's firm had installed.

:01:43.:01:49.

Poisonous gas is leaking from this type and it killed two young men. It

:01:50.:01:53.

should have been secured with four small screws, but the failure to do

:01:54.:01:58.

that cost Aaron Davidson and Neil McFerran their lives in August of

:01:59.:02:02.

2010. They were having a break with another friend in an apartment I had

:02:03.:02:07.

of getting their exam results. When they did not result -- return homes,

:02:08.:02:11.

their parents came here. They found two of the boys died and one is

:02:12.:02:16.

seriously ill. They were poisoned by carbon monoxide. Within days, this

:02:17.:02:23.

man's name was made public, George Browne was responsible for fitting

:02:24.:02:33.

the apartment. An extensive investigation was carried out in the

:02:34.:02:37.

case took three and a half years to reach the conclusion. That was

:02:38.:02:40.

something that big judge criticised today. The lesson is that shoddy

:02:41.:02:49.

work showmanship -- workmanship costs lives. Get a gas engineer to

:02:50.:02:54.

put everything in and make sure it is service. If you have chimneys,

:02:55.:03:04.

make sure it is clean. Brian -- Browne eventually pled guilty to

:03:05.:03:09.

many safety breaches. He put his head down as the judge said that his

:03:10.:03:14.

cavalier attitude was impossible to comprehend and run Sebastopol --

:03:15.:03:21.

reprehensible. He said it was caused by sure laziness. He was sentenced

:03:22.:03:28.

to four years. He will spend half that time in jail. He was also fined

:03:29.:03:56.

?19,000. The Alliance party's Euro candidate

:03:57.:03:58.

has been criticised for saying she favours a united Ireland. Anna Lo

:03:59.:04:02.

made the remarks in the Irish News. Our political correspondent Martina

:04:03.:04:05.

Purdy has the details. What will voters make of her preference for

:04:06.:04:08.

United Ireland if a majority agree? I think it is such a small place, a

:04:09.:04:16.

corner of Ireland to be part of the United Kingdom. It is very

:04:17.:04:24.

artificial. I think together, working with the UK, we are at a

:04:25.:04:29.

better place. Economically, socially and politically. She also told the

:04:30.:04:38.

Irish news she was anti-colonial. Unionists have condemned the

:04:39.:04:41.

remarks. She is entitled to her opinions. She is entitled to have an

:04:42.:04:52.

assertion of Ireland. It is not a colony. It is part of a United

:04:53.:04:58.

Kingdom. She needs to apologise. In a statement, the Alliance Party said

:04:59.:05:02.

that the party had a diverse membership on adding that's Anna Lo

:05:03.:05:11.

has her own aspirations. But this former MLA says that her comments

:05:12.:05:15.

are damaging, particularly for an East Belfast MP who was caught up in

:05:16.:05:25.

a row over the union frag. -- flag. Where did she get the votes to elect

:05:26.:05:33.

her as and he for East Belfast? Only from the unionist population. But

:05:34.:05:36.

Sinn Fein says her remarks are not rational. I do not welcome her

:05:37.:05:41.

comments and I think they are disgraceful. They are unforgivable.

:05:42.:05:50.

There are seniors who are asking for an apology.

:05:51.:06:01.

And the Alliance Party leader David Ford will be giving his reaction on

:06:02.:06:06.

The View straight after this bulletin.

:06:07.:06:08.

Two police officers who were filmed leaving an incapacitated woman in a

:06:09.:06:12.

bus lane in Londonderry are to be repositioned following a

:06:13.:06:14.

recommendation by the police ombudsman. Mobile phone and CCTV

:06:15.:06:20.

footage shows the two officers abandoning Bridget Mongan in the bus

:06:21.:06:23.

lane on John Street on Saint Patrick's Day. The move means the

:06:24.:06:26.

two officers will not perform duties which bring them into direct contact

:06:27.:06:29.

with the public. The digital revolution has been

:06:30.:06:32.

progressing quietly in a lot of our towns and cities. Many of them are

:06:33.:06:41.

already well ahead when it comes to providing free Wi-Fi. Belfast is due

:06:42.:06:45.

to get its own system next year, but people may have to pay to use it.

:06:46.:06:48.

Conor Macauley reports. You cannot see it, but this town is

:06:49.:06:52.

encased in a giant bubble. For the last six months, people have been

:06:53.:06:56.

able to access free public Wi-Fi on the streets here, part of a scheme

:06:57.:07:00.

to make it available in towns across Northern Ireland. There is a

:07:01.:07:06.

repeater box for the Wi-Fi behind me. We will see if we can log into

:07:07.:07:10.

the service. There it is. Free Wi-Fi. And there is live coverage of

:07:11.:07:20.

the House of Commons. The scheme as part of a general roll-out. So far,

:07:21.:07:26.

the Department for social development has approved ?564,000 to

:07:27.:07:31.

be spent on installing free Wi-Fi in 22 towns across Northern Ireland.

:07:32.:07:40.

And this town, it is being picked up by local councils. This man helps --

:07:41.:07:50.

this man knows about the free Wi-Fi system. He has no doubts about the

:07:51.:07:56.

benefits. I have heard, especially from American Taurus, the lack of

:08:05.:08:11.

that it will not be entirely free. It is expected an initial period

:08:12.:08:15.

after login will be free, but people will be expected to pay her

After a reasonable afternoon, the temperatures this evening and

:08:27.:08:30.

tonight have dropped off quite market leap. The showers tonight

:08:31.:08:40.

will turn increasingly wintry. The Met Office has a yellow warning in

:08:41.:08:45.

place for ice that is in force from midnight tonight until nine o'clock

:08:46.:08:49.

tomorrow morning. Friday is going to start quite chilly. As we go through

:08:50.:08:54.

the morning, it stays reasonably warm -- dry through the first half

:08:55.:09:00.

of the day, and that is because we are in this gap between a couple of

:09:01.:09:04.

fronts before the next weather front moves in, and that is the dominant

:09:05.:09:09.

feature in the UK and Ireland tomorrow. It is a decent brighter

:09:10.:09:17.

day in the southern areas. North and west, it is cloudier and showery and

:09:18.:09:23.

quite breezy. Look at what we have to contend with tomorrow afternoon.

:09:24.:09:28.

Wintry rain and eight cold and blustery ride home. Quite streaky

:09:29.:09:36.

and challenging. Stay tuned to BBC radio Ulster for the latest updates.

:09:37.:09:43.

As we head into the weekend, chilly temperatures continue on Saturday.
