Good evening. for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
An elderly woman has died in a house fire in Enniskillen. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
The woman's husband was rescued from the blaze, | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Our reporter Clodagh Rice has been to the scene. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
Emergency services were called to the house on Silverhill Park | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
Fire fighters forced their way into the bungalow, and found | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
The woman's husband, who is in his seventies, | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
He is being treated in hospital for his injuries. | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
It's the second death that has been caused by a fire at a house | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
It is terrible. Especially at this time of year. This is the second | :00:41. | :00:56. | |
fatality in the Enniskillen area within the last month. Obviously, it | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
is something with people waking up this morning and hearing the news, | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
of another death by fire, people are devastated. | :01:08. | :01:08. | |
Neighbours have already started to lay flowers at the house | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
which was badly damaged by the blaze. | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Forensic tests were being carried out at the house by police and fire | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
The investigation into what caused the fire is ongoing but, at this | :01:17. | :01:30. | |
stage, police are not treating it as suspicious. | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
A man has been charged in connection with an attack on a police patrol on | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
Christmas Day. Charges include attempted murder. He appears in | :01:47. | :01:47. | |
court tomorrow. The last 12 months have been a tough | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
time for dairy farmers, There were farmers' protests, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
and calls for help, but not much Our agriculture and environment | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
correspondent, Conor I first met David Irvine | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
and his father William on their farm They were milking | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
140 head of cattle, and taking two salaries | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
from the enterprise, As William explained to me, | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
things were tight, and paying It adds up very quickly, | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
very quickly into a difficult The Winter Fair is a big event | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
in the farming calendar, a time for dairy people | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
to congregate, and compare notes. There will have been little festive | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
cheer amongst these farm families, and it was here that I met | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
William Irvine again to ask how It has been more of the same, | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
the price remains low, Long-term projections | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
are quite good. But this month's bills | :02:59. | :03:11. | |
have to be paid, Traditionally, dairy farmers have | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
been prepared to ride the wave, making money when the price was up, | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
suffering loss when it dropped. But the trough is longer | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
and deeper than before, Alternatives include an insurance | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
scheme which kicks in to shore up and fixed-term contracts | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
with dairies which farmers can use to lock | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
in some of the milk. It's about taking the volatility | :03:37. | :03:37. | |
out of the system. We have said, this is our milk price | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
for the last quarter of the year. Farmers have some form of visibility | :03:44. | :03:51. | |
of what their milk cheque will be They may not be happy | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
with what it is, but at least There are tentative | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
signs of an improvement. Countries that import dairy produce | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
are showing interest again. Countries that produce it | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
are cutting back on supply. It is just a question of how long it | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
takes the market to balance out. It was a year dominated by concerns | :04:10. | :04:19. | |
about money in education. While the schools budget | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
was relatively protected, if still stretched, as our education | :04:23. | :04:23. | |
correspondent Robbie Meredith reports, higher and further | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
education will face more New buildings went up | :04:27. | :04:27. | |
at Ulster University's Belfast campus, but the number of staff, | :04:28. | :04:37. | |
students and subjects came down. We will be removing our provision of | :04:38. | :04:49. | |
modern languages in this specific subject of mathematics and design | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
and other areas impacted. Queen's also announced | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
it was shedding over 200 staff, and over 1,000 student places over | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
the next three years. Leaving many staff concerned | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
about the future shape Further education colleges | :04:59. | :04:59. | |
also faced budget cuts. But, elsewhere, a breakthrough, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
as the education authority finally replaced the five education | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
and library boards, after seven Meanwhile, seven years | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
after the end of the 11-plus, academic selection | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
was in the news again. The BBC revealed details | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
of a draft report commissioned by the Office Of The First | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
And Deputy First Minister which recommended ending | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
academic selection. It also asked why pupils | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
in disadvantaged predominantly Catholic areas outperformed | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
their Protestant peers. Deprivation is not a barrier to | :05:28. | :05:39. | |
learning. It does pose problems, it does give us some major challenges, | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
but we have to be up for those challenges. | :05:45. | :05:45. | |
But, amid the money worries and ideological battles, | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
a lot of good work still went on in local schools. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Delighted with my results, so happy with myself. | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
And there was national recognition for some of our schools. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
St Patrick's High School in Keady won the prestigious TES | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
We are about unleashing human potential, not limiting it. We are | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
not just an all ability school, every school is, every class is all | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
ability. We believe the edible enhance the learning of the less | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
able, in particular, their discipline. | :06:24. | :06:24. | |
While Fairview Primary School in Ballyclare attracted teachers | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
from across the globe, to see how they recycled | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
With the possibility of a new Education Minister | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
to replace Sinn Fein's John O'Dowd in May, and the Department | :06:32. | :06:33. | |

Of The Economy, 2016 is set to be a year of more change. | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
But much of that good work, which rarely hits | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
A look ahead to tomorrow's Talkback Christmas Special. | :06:45. | :06:57. | |
And William Crawley speaks to the Northern Ireland manager | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
Michael O'Neill who'll be talking about his career in football, | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
and the prospect of next summer's European Championships. | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
