Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline: | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
The moment gunman opened fire at a boxing weigh-in, killing one man and | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
wounding two others. We have a reporter in Dublin. | :00:29. | :00:29. | |
Dealing with the past - young voters give their views | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
as a Troubles victim says it's time to reconsider some form of amnesty. | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
I think that South Africa took the right course when they decided to | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
draw a line under the past by declaring very firmly in the | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
transitional constitution that an amnesty would be granted. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
New rules are coming in for hailing a taxi | :00:52. | :00:53. | |

Overlooked for the World Cup, but Andrew Trimble | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
has pushed his way back into Ireland Six Nations team. | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
And it is turning drier after today, but it may not stay that way at the | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
weekend. I will have the weather details shortly. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
Gunmen disguised as police officers opened fire on boxing fans in Dublin | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
this afternoon, killing one man and wounding two others. | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
It happened in a hotel at a weigh-in ceremony | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Our Dublin Correspondent Shane Harrison has more on this. | :01:30. | :01:39. | |
He is at the scene and we hope to go to him shortly. Shane is there, can | :01:40. | :01:48. | |
you tell us what happened in Well, it was at half past two this | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
afternoon that the guard I say there was a weigh-in behind me for a | :01:55. | :02:03. | |
number of flights tomorrow night and what happened was two men dressed as | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
Gardai arrived at the scene and started firing. We have some footage | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
and it really is quite shocking. Now, there were a number of sports | :02:12. | :02:46. | |
fans there, people interested in the fight and of course, some sports | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
journalist, including the BBC Radio Foyle journalist Kevin McAnena. You | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
join me now, what did you see? I was coming out of the main room where | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
the weigh-in had happened because most of the main fighters had | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
finished, but some were still and I was walking through the corridor | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
into the lobby and panic developed, people started running and running | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
and pushing and shoving each other and I didn't know what had happened, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
I thought maybe a fist fight had broken out. I know they were | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
shooting in the main room before. Then outside, I heard two gunshots | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
and two gunmen in Gardai U came through the lobby to my left. One of | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
them ran forward, he looked as if he was about to go into the restaurant | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
part and then he turned and one guy was running through the lobby and he | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
just shot him in the leg. He was maybe six feet in front of me, just | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
over there. He seemed to shoot him so indiscriminately that I thought, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
is this actually the Gardai, because he didn't look at who he was | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
shooting? I jumped over the receptionist's desk and he was | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
shouting, don't shoot, don't shoot. The gunman leaned over the | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
receptionist's desk, was pointing down at me and I was screaming, | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
"Don't shoot, don't shoot," and he said something to me and at this | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
point, everyone else had run away. I was looking straight down the | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
barrel, he was pointing the gun straight at me and I was terrified | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
and I lay there for a while and it stayed quiet so I scuttled off to | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
the back, there was a room in there and I hid with the receptionist or | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
maybe an hour before we rang the Gardai and they told us it was OK to | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
get out. How'd you feel now? It must have been terrifying experience. | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Absolutely terrifying at the time, my whole body was shaking. I feel | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
OKed now but probably tomorrow and the next day, the full trauma will | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
hit you. I have never had a near death experience before so for me it | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
was terrifying, but for everyone there, terrifying and someone has | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
lost their life as well. I can tell you that a man has lost his life, | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
two people are injured with suspected gunshot wounds. They are | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
being treated in hospitals nearby. As to who carried it out, Gardai are | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
obviously linking it to gangland crime and they suspect it may be | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
linked to the killing of a gangland figure from Dublin, Gary Hutch, in | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
southern Spain late last year. Shane Harrison, our Dublin | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
correspondent there. A Queen's University academic has | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
said the mounting costs of investigating deaths | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
during the Troubles means politicians should reconsider | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
the idea of some form of amnesty. Professor Adrian Guelke, | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
who himself survived a paramilitary murder attempt, says the future | :05:35. | :05:36. | |
is more important than the past. He says the mounting cost of | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
investigating the past means politicians stood consider such a | :05:45. | :05:56. | |
step. The gunman who tried to kill Adrian Guelke had never been found. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
He was upstairs in his flat when the loyalist gunmen who shot him | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
mistakenly thought he was working for the IRA. He survived and today, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
his focus is on the future, not the past. I'm just happy to move on and | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
I don't see any purpose in pursuing people | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
involved in my particular case. I think South Africa took the right | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
course when they decided to draw a line under the past by declaring | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
very firmly in the transitional constitution that an amnesty would | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
be granted. Victims' groups very commonly want both truth and | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
justice. What people have to understand is they are more likely | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
to get truth is they are more willing to be more flexible about | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
justice and I think the cost of trying to deal with the past, we do | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
need a different approached the one that is being currently used. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Dealing with the past has already been expensive, but many believe it | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
is a price worth paying. Enquiries have been held into bloody Sunday | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
and deaths of Robert Hammell, Billy Wright and Rosemary Nelson, at a | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
total cost of more than ?300 million. And millions more have been | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
spent on inquests, ombudsman investigations, Victims' groups, the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
Victims commissioner, B Historical Enquiries Team and a range of other | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
troubles related investigations. The next one will be the so-called steak | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
knife inquiry. Police say it will cost around ?35 billion. What isn't | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
clear is who is going to be paying for it. At the same time, | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
politicians still can't agree on a final framework for dealing with the | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
past, but some kind of amnesty has little support. We are very clear as | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
a party that that is not about to happen. There will be no amnesty, no | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
rewriting of history in Northern Ireland and we will continue to | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
fight with the Victims for justice. For more than 20 years, politicians | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
have been grappling with just how to deal with the past. It hasn't always | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
been their number one priority but the fact that the issue is now right | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
at the top of the political agenda at Stormont is in one way a sign of | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
progress. Getting a consensus on how | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
we deal with the past is, at the moment, beyond | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
the reach of those who lived Well, sixth-formers gathered | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
in Belfast today to talk But as our Education Correspondent | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
Robbie Meredith discovered, they have plenty to say | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
about the past as well. Your question is, what are three key | :08:26. | :08:38. | |
issues in Belfast that need to be addressed? | :08:39. | :08:39. | |
They were born at the time of the Good Friday Agreement. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
But has Northern Ireland moved forward enough during their lives? | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
There are so many issues today that we need to focus on and I don't | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
think there is enough focus on them, unique, funding, things that are | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
important to students and important to young people. Now we have the | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
lowering of the corporation Tax but not until 2017, so we need more | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
things happening now to make Belfast attracted to people in the financial | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
world. I do think things should have moved on and they haven't. | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
These young people will be able to vote in elections for the first | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
At the minute, there's political deadlock over how we deal | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
with the past, the legacy of the Troubles and its cost. | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Does that matter to them or is it a source of frustration? | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
At times, I sort of think we spend too much money and things like that. | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
At the end of the day, in my opinion, the past should be in the | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
past. There is only so much justice and rest you can get by | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
investigating the past and it would be more worthwhile investing in the | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
future. Do you feel we are being held back by the past? I do to an | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
extent. But what happens in the past shapes the future but in a lot of | :09:55. | :09:55. | |
places, yes. One of the organisers of today's | :09:56. | :09:56. | |
event says politicians need It has gone even beyond frustration, | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
these young people are looking forward. They don't have the | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
experiences of some of us. I was going to school in the 1970s, this | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
sort of thing was completely unthinkable. These young people are | :10:12. | :10:12. | |
looking to the future. And there was even a blunt | :10:13. | :10:13. | |
message for the media. If there is still a continual focus | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
on the troubles and it is still brought up in the news and that the | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
news always focus on it, it is still in people's heads and the more it is | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
in people's heads, the more issues will arise from it. Food for | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
thought. Five people escaped injury | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
in a gun attack on a house Shots were fired at a house | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
in Dill Avenue at about six o'clock, Two children were in the house | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
at the time of the attack. New significant changes to taxi | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
regulations You will be able to hail any taxi | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
during certain hours of the weekend in Belfast City Centre | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
without having a booking. It can be a confusing situation, | :10:56. | :11:08. | |
which taxes can be hailed and which can't? Outside of Belfast, it is | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
simple. All taxes can be waived down, but here in Belfast city | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
centre, it is a bit different. Currently, only public higher taxes, | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
or what we would know as black taxes, can be hailed on the streets. | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
Other taxes have to be booked in advance. But that is about to be | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
changed. What will change is that on a Friday and Saturday night, between | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
the hours of 2359 and six o'clock the following day, and on public | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
holidays, members of the public will be able to hail any taxi in the two | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
mile zone within Belfast. Previously, that wasn't the case. We | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
have done that because often demand outstrips supply and it is a way for | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
the public to get a taxi quickly and get home as soon as they possibly | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
can. This is the area in Belfast city centre covered by the new | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
rules. Not everyone is happy about the change. If this is just to clear | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
the streets, it is wrong, because if you are going to clear the streets, | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
you must know that the clientele and the general public are getting into | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
a legitimate taxi and that doesn't have that insurance. It is also | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
introducing new signage that will look something like this, to deter | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
those operating illegally. Black taxi drivers don't understand why | :12:30. | :12:30. | |
they need it also. of the Derry city footballer | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
Mark Farren. The City team formed a guard | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
of honour outside St Mary's Church in Ballybrack, County Donegal, | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
and the mourners included the Deputy First Minister | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
Martin McGuinness and the former SDLP leader | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
John Hume. 20 years ago next week, | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
a bomb exploded at Canary Wharf in the heart of London's Docklands, | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
ending a 17-month-old IRA ceasefire. In a BBC Northern Ireland programme, | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
the man charged with catching those responsible talks in public | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
for the first time. February 1996 came after a period | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
of hope and a little glamour We invite to the platform, | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
the president of the United States! But behind the scenes, | :13:16. | :13:30. | |
it was stalling. When the president decided to go to | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Northern Ireland, there was no movement on the peace process. | :13:35. | :13:35. | |
The issue of how and when the IRA should decommission seemed | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Sniper shootings were blotting the ceasefire. | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
And then on the 9th of February, at teatime - | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Hundreds of people injured by flying glass. A scene of utter devastation, | :13:46. | :14:03. | |
like anything you have ever seen in a movie and that sort of flickering | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
light from the fire brigade and torches and all that, like a scene | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
from the apocalypse. Two people died and hundreds were injured. | :14:15. | :14:15. | |
This is the man who ran the operation to catch | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
Now for the first time, he's explained how the public | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
pointed them towards crucial fingerprint evidence. | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
Perhaps you work in the motor trade, perhaps in the conversion industry, | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
if you have seen somebody working on this vehicle. | :14:34. | :14:33. | |
An abandoned tyre brought the first finger print. | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
The second on an ashtray at a truck stop in Carlisle. | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
But there was no one matching that print on the system. | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
The breakthrough came during an RUC operation on snipers | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
I got a phone call, OK, we have arrested the sniper team and I said, | :14:48. | :14:59. | |
congratulations, that is wonderful, we got the car and we got the | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
rightful -- rifle and we have got them all alive, which was really | :15:08. | :15:15. | |
good. And he said and the fingerprint officers have had a look | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
at the first set of fingerprints they have taken from the people | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
arrested and it is your... He just took one look at him and said this | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
is the triple thumbprint man. It was considered a massive | :15:28. | :15:28. | |
security operation success. But others say that the bomb | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
was actually the biggest triumph The great irony to me is Canary | :15:33. | :15:44. | |
Wharf got the Republicans to the table. The British are so much "The | :15:45. | :15:53. | |
words are here and the actions are there" and the actions of the | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
British are, yes, you can bomb your way to the conference table. That's | :15:58. | :15:58. | |
really what Canary Wharf was. 20 years ago, the bomb rocked | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
Britain's new financial district, but it's reverberations were felt | :16:01. | :16:02. | |
just as deeply in Northern And you can see that programme | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
at nine o'clock on Monday evening and a sprinkle of stardust - | :16:05. | :16:11. | |
to a campaign to bring jobs back He has recorded a video message | :16:12. | :16:26. | |
urging people to attend a rally in Ballymena tomorrow, | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
calling for greater investment He's the Hollywood superstar who's | :16:30. | :16:31. | |
never forgotten his roots . But now this action man is asking | :16:32. | :16:39. | |
the people of Ballymena Hello, I am Liam Neeson, Fred | :16:40. | :16:52. | |
Palomino man. I am backing the demand for jobs and investment for | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
Ballymena -- are proud Ballymena man. I am asking you to attend a | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
rally for the future of Ballymena at the bandstand on the moon -- on the | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
sixth of every afternoon. Be there. His home town has had | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
a tough time recently. The closures of the Michelin tyre | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
factory and the Gallaghers cigarette plant have left more than 1,600 | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
workers facing unemployment. Now a campaign has been launched | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
calling for more investment - and a brighter future - | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
for the town. Locals say something | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
needs to change. I have a sister who has worked at | :17:23. | :17:32. | |
Gallagher is a over 40 years and I don't know where she will get a job | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
now. So you back the campaign? Fully back it. There is a lot of | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
competition and they look for a lot of criteria. In this day and age, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
workers not plentiful in Ballymena, so it is a bit of a disaster that | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
people have lost their jobs. While the New York-based actor isn't | :17:56. | :17:56. | |
expected to attend the rally in person tomorrow, the event's | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
organisers say his message Out of the workforce here of 1700 | :18:00. | :18:15. | |
going into major plans, service industries and none of -- another | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
thousand, we are looking public sector cuts being massive, massive | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
impact and something needs to happen. Campaigners may have secured | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
the backing of a famous Hollywood actor, but what is needed next is | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
the support of the people of Ballymena and its politicians and, | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
most importantly, the wider business community. | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Children in Lurgan got a special audience today with a man | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
who is seen as a legend in the eyes of Manchester United and Republic | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
Roy Keane signed all of the autographs and posed | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
for all the photos and gave the young people some blunt advice | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
Our reporter Keiron Tourish was there with them. | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
He is one of the finest players of his era and today, Roy Keane | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
captured the imagination of the next generation, all eager to hear his | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
advice after such a distinguished career. You have got to enjoy. If | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
you are not enjoying it, there is something drastically wrong. If you | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
want to become good at any sport, there is hurling, football, the | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
whole lot, basketball, boxing the some of the younger kids, unless you | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
really love something, it is very hard to become really good at it. So | :19:28. | :19:35. | |
enjoyed. Roy Keane was here at the invitation of former United | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
team-mate Pat McGivern. He runs a project where the emphasis is on | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
enjoying your sport and not winning at all costs. Between all the boys | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
and girls, almost 300 of them here, this is something they can look back | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
on for the rest of their lives. In this technology obsessed world, Roy | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
Keane had some blunt advice. Throw them in the bin. Throw them in the | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
bin. Play football. Practice. Kick the ball against the wall, play with | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
your mates. Kids don't climb trees anymore. That is my advice for you, | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
enjoy football and climb some trees. This is why I love the game, | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
watching young kids starting out. And I suppose you are more pleased | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
because you should be at school, should you? That is why they are | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
really happy, not that I am here. Everyone knows Roy Keane never | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
shirked a tackle, but he was asked if he ever made any mistakes on the | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
pitch. I made one or two mistakes, but that is part of life. I swear, I | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
am not standing here with a halo over my head. You make mistakes when | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
you play sports. You get injured sometimes all you injure somebody. I | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
was unfortunate, I came across a lot of bad referees. The some reason, | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
they were always giving me red cards, it was weird. Bad referees. | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
But you have to respect the officials as well, kids. Certainly a | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
Davies children will never forget. -- certainly a day these children | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
will never forget. They just loved him in Lurgan. To | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
rugby next. He was overlooked for the World Cup, | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
but Andrew Trimble is back in favour He was Ireland's Player of the Year | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
in the 2014, so not a massive surprise that a fully fit Trimble | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
starts Sunday's Six Nations opener Rory Best captains the side | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
which sees South African-born CJ Stander make his debut | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
in the back row. Ireland are the RBS Six Nations | :21:28. | :21:44. | |
champions. Lifting the trophy last year was Paul O'Connell and | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
celebrations were emphatic. Ireland were the best in the business and | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
enthusiasm was everywhere ahead of the World Cup. Enthusiasm that was | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
there the year before. But O Connell and O'Driscoll making what seemed | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
like the annual pilgrimage to six days since success, they are no more | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
and the World Cup campaign over but this year, Ireland could do | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
something that has never been jailed in the 100 year plus history of the | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
four, five, Six Nations Rugby, winning the championship for three | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
consecutive years. I think with the quality of Wales, you cannot look | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
beyond it. If you had a different quality of opposition, not that | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
there are too many opponents in the Six Nations you can take lightly, | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
but particularly Wales, with the way they finished the World Cup and the | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
players they have got back into their fold, I have no doubt that | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
will make it a real battle. Andrew Trimble was awarded the 2014 Ireland | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
player of the year. Less than a year later, he was left out of the World | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Cup squad. On Sunday, he starts for Ireland. In no way do I begrudge any | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
decisions made about the World Cup. At that stage, I had played one and | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
a half games in close to ten months maybe and it wasn't enough to prove | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
I was good enough to compete with some of the other guys in there, so | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
the mindset now is I have my opportunity and I really want to | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
take it. Trimble is one of a number of high-profile changes. Tommy | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
O'Donnell, CJ Stander and Simon Stevo all come in. All change in the | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
starting line-up but Ireland will be hoping for what now seems the | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
traditional Six Nations result - a win. | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
And The Island women get the ball rolling against Wales in Dublin | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
tomorrow afternoon Jacques Ireland's women. | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
Ulster are in action at home to Dragons tonight and a win | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
would take Les Kisse's men top of the Pro 12 table. | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
Here's veteran back row forward Roger Wilson. | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
It is a big one and somewhere we haven't been for a while and we | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
would like to get back up to. It takes is nicely then, or hopefully | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
will, into the next four games, a block of games which again we feel | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
like we can motor on and take some good points from those, but it would | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
be a great start. That is live on BBC Two at 7:30pm. | :23:56. | :23:56. | |
Golf and it's been a topsy-turvy day for Rory McIlroy in Dubai. | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
But at the midway point of the Desert Classic, | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
the defending champion remains in contention. | :24:02. | :24:02. | |
The defending champion was already one over par when he fluffed this | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
chip at the eighth, beginning a run of three bogeys in four holes, | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
including this rush of blood to the head which led to a three pot at the | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
11th and the world number two slipped outside the halfway cut | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
mark. But McIlroy fought back with four birdies in his closing six | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
holes, a fine approach at the 16th produced this birdie and once again | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
he was moving in the right direction. And he rolled in this pot | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
at the last to shoot a level par 72 and at four under par, he is six | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
shots off the halfway leader Cabrera-Bello of Spain. Not such a | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
good Dave Michael Hoey, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke, who all | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
missed the halfway cut -- not such a good day for. | :24:56. | :24:57. | |
By this time tomorrow, the hurlers of Cushendall will know | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
if they've made history - they play Sarsfields of Galway | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
in Navan with a place in the All-Ireland club final | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
Ruairiogs manager John "Smokey" McKillop says his players have done | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
I think this is 240 something sessions and I guarantee you could | :25:09. | :25:17. | |
count on your hand the number of people who have missed them. | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Everybody is up for them, every time you step out of the car, or in my | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
case the lorry, it is all they want to talk about, the hurling match. | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
This will be my third all Ireland semifinal, I have been playing for | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
them since I was 15 and I'm 27 now, so that is 12 years and these | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
chances don't come around often, you have to make them count. That is | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
live on the radio, as is all the local football tomorrow. If you are | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
heading to Dublin for the men's or women's Six Nations or for the | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
hurling, the best person to tell us about the weather is Barra. | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
I am not hopeful. It is a case of keeping everything handy, low | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
pressure will be in control. We had rain today that has cleared away, a | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
few showers behind it turning Chile for a while, possibly with the odd | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
stretch of ice but overnight, the cloud built in, helping to lift | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
temperatures and gets rid of the risk of icy conditions, but still, | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
nevertheless, a chilly night. Tomorrow, the cloud sticks around, a | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
disappointing day, rather unsettled and grey, and with rain and the wind | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
picking up. To begin with, the wind not too bad but it will strengthen | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
through the day, it will be grey and outbreaks of rain coming and going. | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
Not wall-to-wall rain, some dry periods but not a lot of sunshine if | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
any. Temperatures at best seven or 8 degrees. If you are travelling | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
tomorrow, the area of low pressure is in control right across Britain | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
and Ireland, so almost everywhere getting wet weather and very strong | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
southerly winds but temperatures were quite a few places will be | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
several degrees above normal for the time of year, 12, maybe 13 degrees | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
for the south-east of England. So for Northern Ireland, for the second | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
part of the afternoon and evening, a fair amount of dry weather around, | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
maybe the odd glimmer of sunshine in the West but we will hold onto a lot | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
of cloud and it will continue to bring in scattered showers. It will | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
turn quite chilly tomorrow night so there is the risk that some areas | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
could see some sleet and snow, maybe in hills and mountains, most | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
low-level areas will see rain. Sunday gets off to a promising | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
start, fairly cloudy with one or two glimmers of sun, but the rain will | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
move in and everyone has some strong south-westerly winds building in, so | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
a blustery end to the day. They spill overnight into Monday, so | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
another unsettled start to the new week and for the time being, no | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
settled spell in the forecast just yet. | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
Oh dear. The late summary is at 10:30pm here on BBC One. From all of | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
us, goodbye. | :27:52. | :27:54. |
