That's all for now. The next news on BBC One is

Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline.

Armed police in the Republic have been manning checkpoints in Dublin

following the murder of a man at a boxing event

33-year-old David Byrne from Crumlin in the south of the city was shot

dead after gunmen wearing SWAT team uniforms opened fire in the Regency

Two other men were injured in the attack.

The checkpoints are due to continue for at least the next few days.

A man in his 50s is in a critical but stable condition in hospital

after he was hit by a car early this morning.

It happened on the Burn Road near Doagh.

The SDLP leader says there needs to be more involvement

from the British Government over the way legacy

It comes after the Northern Ireland office said that money could only be

released to deal with the past if there was an agreement

to establish new institutions - an issue that was left out

of the deal done between the two governments, the DUP and Sinn Fein.

Colum Eastwood told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme

that there should be more involvement from the British

First of all, we need a raking eyes that this is an issue where the

people who have most truth to tell me to tell it. I would encourage the

British Government, in terms of David Cameron, he needs to step in.

This is way above the Secretary of State's be great. The good thing

that he did with Bloody Sunday, you can do it again and offer lots of

people that same level of truth and justice.

The Ulster Unionist Party leader Mike Nesbitt said there needs to be

a collective political will towards acknowledging

the failings of our political leaders and to recognise

The easy thing, which would make a big impact, is to recognise so many

victims suffer from permanent ill health and well-being and it is

intergenerational. People born after the ceasefires are suffering the

toxic legacy of the conflict. Leicester that is a confidence

builder. Another thing I am very keen on is at knowledge and

statements. As the leader of unionism, I would be prepared to

make a statement about what Unionism didn't did not do in the years we

were in charge if others were prepared to speak out.

Turning to sport now, and Ireland let a 13-point lead slip

as Wales fought back for a draw in a compelling Six Nations

Leading from the front. The Ireland for BBC Newsline.

Leading from the front. The Ireland captain America and the team bus

focus and determined to face the task at hand. -- the Ireland captain

and melt from the team bus. It is very special for us all. We want

Ireland to get in and get a win and get the job done. Settling all the

nerves, a bit of transition in the team, it is very important. It was

down to business and Ireland turned their territory into points. Johnny

Sexton landing to a late penalty kicks. A slick counterattack was

eventually rewarded. Murray spotted a gap and sighters way through the

Welsh defence to touch down. Sexton added the extras. It was a half of

two halves with Wales finishing strong and Taliban a valid to

finishing strong. -- and file told -- Faletau. As the clock ticked

down, it ended 16-16, a bruising encounter reflected in this calling.

Not the best start to Rory's captaincy but talks remain for a

record third Six Nations title in a row. Up next, it is France away in

six days. To GAA, and in Division One

of the Football League, Monaghan maintained their winning

start with a 13-11 victory over Down Last night, Armagh took

an early lead against Laois in their Division Two tie but went

on to lose the match by a point. Paul Cahillane's penalty in the 13th

minute put Laois ahead for the first time and they stayed in front

for the rest of the game. The Belfast Giants are in action

against the Cardiff Devils in the first leg of

the Challenge Cup semi final. In last night's league game,

the Giants suffered defeat at the hands of the Sheffield

Steelers despite leading 2-1 at the end of the second period

after goals by Craig Peacock Sheffield hit back with a goal

in the second period, Looking ahead to tomorrow,

and we have a special health report looking at how Manchester's

politicians and local authorities have managed to strike a deal

which will transform the health Haiyan in Manchester to find out her

local politicians and health officials have managed to sign a

deal about health and so is the. A deal that is described as

ground-breaking. -- I am in Manchester.

And you can see that special report tomorrow night on BBC Newsline

Just time for the weather prospects now.

Today's rain is clearing but it will be followed by a scattering of

showers label, little bit windy as well. The next storm system is

heading our way, storm imaging. The strongest winds from that system

will be reserved for parts of Munster, Wales and the South coast

of England. Not for that, windy but not quite as bad. There will be a

scattering of showers in the wings and it might be cold enough that we

could see a mix of sleet and snow over hills and mountains but not

enough a lot. Most places will see rain. Tomorrow will be rather mixed.

Dry gaps in good spells of sunshine to enjoy but there is always the

risk of some scattered showers coming in on the westerly winds.

Now, they are not particularly strong but they might be gusty,

especially in the North course. Inland, to begin the day, spells of

sunshine but also scattered showers. If you are travelling tomorrow, we

have amber warnings in force for parts of court and Kerry. The

south-west of England and were as well. Not that it is windy but just

not as bad. A scattering of showers even there. Driest parts and novels

Colin. For Northern Ireland in the afternoon, showers continue to come

and go along with the sunny gap and thereafter because of seven or eight

Celsius. Just a little bit higher than normal for the time of year,

although the winds and rain are mostly cold. Into Tuesday, grey and

wet weather expected but it will clear to give us a chilly night

overnight into Wednesday. That is all the news and sport for now. We

will be back at 10:40pm this evening, slightly later.
