Gompertz has the story. That's all | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Irish Justice Minister, Frances Fitzgerald, says she's | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
disturbed by a report in the Evening Herald that a Garda officer passed | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
information to the IRA about two dissident republicans in custody. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
She's asked the Acting Garda Commissioner for a full report. | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Here's our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
I'll this is highly embarrassing for the Garda, coming 12 months after it | :00:32. | :00:39. | |
was fine that an unnamed Drink Think colluded in the matter of senior RUC | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
officers in the 1980s. -- after unnamed Garda. It is said that | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
information was passed on by text to the IRA about dissident republicans | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
held in a station within the past 12 months. It is reported the man | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
involved has left the force but without disciplinary action taken | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
against them by authorities, but the Department of Justice said this | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
evening he is under criminal investigation in relation to this | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
and another matter. A lawyer representing one of the RUC families | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
at the tribunal said that lack of disciplinary action is totally not | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
satisfactory and the Republic's Department of Justice and its | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
minister, Frances Fitzgerald, has asked for a full report on the | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
matter. A 23-year-old man has died | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
in hospital after being injured in a car crash in Enniskillen | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
at the weekend. He was in a car which crashed into | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
the Johnston Bridge roundabout in An 18-year-old man was arrested | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
on suspicion of a number of motoring offences | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
and has been released on bail. A special needs teacher has won | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
his appeal against a conviction for assaults | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
against two 12-year-old girls with Stephen Downes of Glebe Gardens | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
in Moira was convicted of cruelty to the two pupils at Parkview | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
special school in Lisburn and given Mr Downes, who had been a teacher | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
at the school since 1997, During the case, | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
his solicitor acknowledged he had The former teacher said the two | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
years before he was convicted Doctors and people providing care | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
in the community say they're concerned | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
about the impact of cuts as the row over the shortfall in the | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
health budget rumbles on. Yesterday, BBC Newsline outlined | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
some of the services that might be reduced | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
in an attempt to balance the books. But some say there's | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
a huge contradiction This resource centre in Derry | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
provides a range of services for elderly people. | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
Up to 30 come to the day centre. Another 80 get meals on wheels | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
from here. A Stormont strategy called | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Transforming Your Care was intended to keep pensioners like these out | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
of nursing homes and in their own homes by providing | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
services in their communities. But now those services could be | :03:17. | :03:17. | |
in line for cuts. Our massive contradiction there. And | :03:18. | :03:29. | |
a massive impact it will have on all the people in the next 10-15 years. | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
They come out with fancy documents and policies, but the cuts into | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
community care, older people will be worse off. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
in line for cuts. Everything from emergency | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
departments in hospitals to home visits by specialist nurses for | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
people with chronic illnesses like type 1 diabetes are under pressure. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Chris McCarroll is meant to get a home visit every three months. | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
I last saw her in March this year, due another appointment in June or | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
July, but I did not get an appointment and I called up and was | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
told Saudi, it was unlikely I would get an appointment in December. So | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
this is when I have had my diagnosis closely. But it could be nine | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
months, rather than six months or three months. | :04:21. | :04:21. | |
a home visit every three months. Tthe trust says demand | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
for diabetic services outstrips its ability to supply it and it's | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
having to prioritise patients. Edwin Poots says there's | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
a ?140 million shortfall in the health budget. | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
That led the spokesman for NI's GPs to warn of catastrophic | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
and potentially life-threatening consequences. But the top doctor | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
in one of our main emergency departments takes a different view. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
I would not use those terms. I would describe it as challenging. These | :04:48. | :04:56. | |
cuts reportedly in the region of ?140 million, represents about 4% of | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
the budget, a significant amount of money against challenging | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
inflationary pressures. If the cuts went ahead, how could this | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
department cope? There are some recommendations, such as locating | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
GPI the virus, taking up the load of patients, and alternatives such as | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
recruitment of staff from other areas. -- such as locating GP | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
services. departments takes a different view. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
The health budget may be ring-fenced, | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
but a growing elderly population with more complex medical needs | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
means the pot to pay for health care is diminishing in real terms. | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
A health pressure group in Londonderry has warned | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
of the dangers of drinking during pregnancy. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
It's now begun a campaign to highlight the long term effects | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
and claims there are mixed messages being given to expectant mothers | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Here's our North West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
It's an exciting time when expecting your first child, | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
and Caoimhe Deeney wanted to do everything right. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
She had researched the possible effects of drinking | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
during pregnancy and decided to avoid alcohol completely. | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
I felt that it was important for me not to drink alcohol. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
It was my first pregnancy, I was so excited, | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
I was aware of the risks and I was afraid to cause any harm. | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
I am glad now I did not, because I have a beautiful healthy baby here. | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
And I would recommend that nobody drink alcohol, | :06:34. | :06:34. | |
One pressure group, which promotes awareness | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
around a range of health issues, says that giving children the best | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
start in life should begin with the best start in life should begin with | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
help about the long-term effects of drinking during pregnancy. | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
We are trying to get across that the safest option is not | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
What people do not realise is you would never give a child or toddler | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
some alcohol to drink, and that is essentially what you're doing | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
And a small baby in the womb cannot process alcohol | :07:03. | :07:15. | |
One GP says there is no doubt about the potential harm that could | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
be caused to babies if mothers overindulge while pregnant. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
Foetal alcohol syndrome is a very severe condition where the baby | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
is permanently damaged by exposure to alcohol during pregnancy. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
What we are trying to do is everything possible to ensure that | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
a healthy baby is born, hopefully with no problems whatsoever. | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
And if you do not drink alcohol during pregnancy, | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Those behind the project say the most sensible option is to | :07:39. | :07:50. | |
not drink alcohol during pregnancy, but recognise that some mums to be | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
They have underlined the fact that help and advice is available. | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
Thieves tried to steal an ATM in Castlerock | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
A lorry, stolen from the Newmills Road in Coleraine, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
was driven to a petrol station on the Mussenden Road. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
It was reversed into the building a number of times | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
The lorry was found at the Garvagh Road this morning | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
Are we in for a decent weekend? A drier day than most for some, the | :08:19. | :08:33. | |
North Coast holding onto some I'd break the rain. Eventually turning | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
drier with clear skies and it will not be a cold night. We hold onto | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
some brisk winds into Saturday, but not too bad, plenty of dry weather | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
and decent spells of sunshine. Not completely dry, some showers into | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
the afternoon, but plenty of dry weather to begin with, the sunshine | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
kicking off the weekend, but slowed coming in from the waist in the | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
afternoon and some showers moving eastwards. -- from the West. Across | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
much of England, it is dry, but rain elsewhere. Across Ireland, apart | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
from the North, southern areas much drier and brighter. For Northern | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
Ireland, tomorrow afternoon, some showers making their way across all | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
places, brightening up later in for a man, and sunshine tomorrow | :09:34. | :09:45. | |
evening. -- in Fermanagh. A promising start on Sunday. Some | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
stronger wind, patchy rain, clearing by the evening, then looking ahead | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
to next week, mainly dry Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
temperatures into the 20s. Great stuff, what you want to | :10:04. | :10:04. |
