Belfast councillor Ruth Patterson says she will not be appealing

The First Minister, Peter Robinson, revealed that she had been expelled

for bringing the party into disrepute.

Ms Patterson had publicly criticised the DUP's decision

to appoint Emma Pengelly as an MLA for South Belfast.

Shoulder to shoulder, we are unbowed, unbroken.

Here's she's being supported by senior DUP figures

after she appeared in court charged with sending a grossly

It was a comment on Facebook about a republican march.

On Friday she was informed that she has now been expelled

from the party after she publicly criticised the co-option of Emma

Ruth Patterson had hoped to get the job herself.

There is a principle in my book of giving someone who has earned

something the chance, rather than someone who does not have one

solitary vote. Ms Pengelly, who was appointed to

the post of junior minister 30 days after being

co-opted, defended the system. The procedure clearly provides for

co-option and that provides for somebody to have done full mandate,

so I am taking on the work of Jimmy Spratt.

Speaking in an interview for today's Sunday Politics programme, Peter

Robinson revealed Ruth Patterson's been told she is no longer a member.

The party officers unanimously decided to expel her earlier this

week. And how she responded to that? There has been some

correspondence but I am not been party to that. If she goes to the

TUV, does that give you cause for concern. It might give the TUV cause

for concern. Mrs Patterson did not want to

record an interview today. She did, however,

release a brief statement saying "My spirit is free and the shackles

that have bound me have gone." It's understood she has no plans to

move to any other party - There's another chance to see Sunday

John Hume says he is having "severe difficulties" in

his struggle with dementia. Pat Hume said the 78-year-old Nobel

Peace Prize winner has problems In an interview for RTE radio, she

they stopped on the Dundrod Road The man has been charged with

World Tour Championship in Dubai to finish the season

as Europe's number one golfer. The Holywood man shot

a 6-under-par final round of 66 to finish on 21-under, one

clear of England's Andy Sullivan. Victory means 26-year-old McIlroy

retains his Race to Dubai title, the third time he has won it

in four years. I have a knack of doing things on

the 17th green, I had a big part at the Ryder Cup last year on 17 to

keep the match alive and then a couple of big ones at the matchplay

this year and again on 17 when I had to, I think being able to go into

the memory bank and draw on those things helps and just a little lucky

I was able to do with again. Well done to Rory. I'm sure it was good

weather in Dubai, what will it be like here? It was lovely to see some

crisp sunshine today, temperatures in many places near average, we are

generally in less cold air this week that the price for that is spells of

rain and blustery winds. Tonight the winced state like an initially we

have clear skies, so it will get down to freezing and that will give

us some frost, some mist and fog in places that they are not there for

the whole night and will lift as cloud increases from the West and

the temperatures start to creep back up. Tomorrow, not a great start to

the week, some wet weather, breeze picking up and it picks up during

the morning, initially like rain moving into the north and west and

moving east through the morning. The rain and winds are also getting into

the north and west of Scotland, some sleet and snow on the leading edge

and it moves towards the Republic of Ireland in the afternoon, but for

England and Wales mainly dry but still chilly in the East,

temperatures near average towards the north and west but a wet

afternoon, heavy and persistent spells of rain moving across

Northern Ireland, and pleasant on the roads and not too nice in the

evening. Highs of seven or eight like today but feeling cold in the

wind and rain, then that rain moves away, followed by blustery showers

on Tuesday, down again on Thursday but

From everyone on the BBC Newsline team, have a good evening.
