This is BBC Newsline. The headlines this Thursday evening: | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
TDs fail to elect a new Taoiseach as the Dail meets for the first time | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
since the ash collection. I'm live in Dublin. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
Parents tell us of their shock at the closure of | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Workers being made redundant from the Austins department store | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
in Londonderry speak of their devastation. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
Best times of my life and you don't appreciated until you don't have it. | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
I can say hand on heart, best times of my life. | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
This pet cat is attacked and set on fire leaving it badly injured | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
And three years ago, Britain and Ireland were in the middle of the | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
horse meat scandal. I'm with the food science team at Queens | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
University to find out if what we are eating now is healthy and safe. | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
Jared Payne is in, Stuart McCloskey is out. | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
Ireland make changes to their starting team | :01:18. | :01:18. | |
as they attempt to avoid the dreaded wooden spoon. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
And 12 degrees on the north coast today - more mild weather to come | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
over the next few days but will we have the sunshine too? | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
The 32nd oil has been meeting for the first time since last month's | :01:28. | :01:41. | |
general election but there has been no government elected. It was always | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
unlikely a Taoiseach would be elected to date and it could take | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
weeks for a new government to be formed. We will hear from our | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
political editor in a moment but first here's Shane Harrison. | :01:58. | :01:58. | |
A new Dail, talk of a new beginning and lots of new TDs. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Though some harder to recognise than others. | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
And this advice to the new members from a veteran politician, | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
even if he's only about to start his second term as a Dail deputy. | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
Remember who you are, and who you represent, we are here for Ireland, | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
not four party political advantage, we are here for the people of this | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
island. Inside the chamber, | :02:27. | :02:27. | |
the first serious business - the election of a Ceann Comhairle, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
or Speaker, for the first time There were four candidates but one | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
winner, Fianna Fail's Sean O'Fearghaill, who signalled that | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
political reform and more powers for ordinary TDs would be the order | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
of the day on his watch. Disagreement is dubbed eating heart | :02:43. | :02:57. | |
of a democracy but argument is the lifeblood of a vibrant chamber and | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
mutual respect is the foundation of an effective argument. | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
Fine Gael chose their leader, Enda Kenny. | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Fianna Fail speakers nominated Micheal Martin. | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
As leader of the largest All-Ireland political party and as one of the | :03:09. | :03:22. | |
architects of the Irish peace process, Gerry Adams has | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
consistently displayed qualities of strong leadership, courage and | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
perseverance. But the radical left said | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
they couldn't support Mr Adams because Sinn Fein imposed austerity | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
on Northern Ireland and got An Independent TD accepted no | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Taoiseach would be elected today but said the people | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
couldn't wait indefinitely. I don't want to start talking about | :03:42. | :03:53. | |
Civil War politics, the Sinn Fein, IRA or whatever, but 158 people here | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
have been voted in by the people of Ireland to form a government, so do | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
would. Scenes of harmony like these are unlikely to be repeated when the | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Dail sits again. Not all politicians, it seems, are yet | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
musical brothers. And our logical ad joins us from Dublin. What happens | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
next? Enda Kenny will go to Michael | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Higgins and tender his resignation as Taoiseach. He will remain in a | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
caretaker capacity, so he will still head over to the White House to meet | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
President Obama and handover the ceremonial shamrock, he will be | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
joined by the First and Deputy First Minister but well he continues in a | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
caretaker capacity, behind-the-scenes the parties will | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
have to start trying to work a way out of this inconclusive mess. There | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
is talk of a grand coalition between Fine Gael and Deanna Foyle but there | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
is resistance, especially amongst Fiala Foyle's members because they | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
have seen what has happened previously, so may have to come up | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
with some sort of arrangement short of a coalition, possibly propping up | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Fine Gael in government but how long that can last is open to question. | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
Was there any point in Sinn Fein numbers and Gerry Adams? They would | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
have seen this as a symbolic move, a sign they had come back with more | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
TDs and as one politician said, if it is been a political theatre today | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
why shouldn't we be players in the art, and for Sinn Fein they got the | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
support of the TD who was not one of their members, Seamus Heaney from | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Tipperary. What is the mood of the new Dail? This feature will have his | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
work cut out. What happened after that road today, there were points | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
of order, especially from Sinn Fein, and when they reconvene on March 22 | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
he will have to work hard to keep this balanced Dail in check. | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Two men charged in connection with the theft of a fire engine | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
in Larne at the weekend have been released on bail. | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
The vehicle crashed into a number of homes and cars in the town, | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
Like a trailer for the next Hangover movie - that's how a solicitor | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
for one of two men accused of stealing a fire engine from Larne | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
fire station described the destruction in the town. | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
The two men accused of involvement applied for and were granted bail | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
at Ballymena Magistrates' Court today. | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
The court heard that the alleged driver, 19-year-old Ross Clarke | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
of Fairway in Larne, has a learning disability and had | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
never driven a vehicle before, while his co-accused, | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
66-year-old Robert Duffin of Green Link in the town, | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
allegedly had a fascination for blue lights and that the men had been | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
involved in making 20 hoax calls to the Fire Service. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
The court was told one of the accused is to reside | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
in Newry, to which the judge said he hoped | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
A dad has told BBC Newsline his child is only alive today | :07:15. | :07:23. | |
because of the help they got from the mental health charity Fasa. | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
As we reported on last night's programme, the organisation, | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
which employs 60 people and has several branches, | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
For more than 20 years, Fasa has helped the desperate, | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
My child would not be alive today without them. | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
Now they're battling for their own survival. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Yesterday, Fasa announced it was effectively closing - | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
In its last set of accounts, questions were raised | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Its chairman, who took over last November, has ordered a forensic | :08:00. | :08:07. | |
An organisation which is the victim of our own success, we have grown to | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
deal with the demand on the ground with our communities and we have had | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
to use our own funding to cover those services and can no longer | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
support that. For more than two decades, Assad has been helping | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
people with mental health and addiction problems. The demand has | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
grown. Last year, it opened its most | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
ambitious project to date - the Nightingale Centre | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
in East Belfast, One parent, who didn't | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
want his own voice used, told me it was the only place that | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
could reach his child. You're not treated in there | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
as a number and you're not given You're treated as a child, | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
as a human being. Hope that were things which are | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
child before he went there? My child before he went to Fasa | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
was taking drugs on a weekly, Diazepam, sleeping tablets, blues, | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
yellows, things like that. When he started talking to Fasa | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
and engaging with Fasa and feeling safe with them, | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
he went off the drugs completely. Meetings will continue over | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
the coming days to try and save the group, but anyone | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
who needs help now is being asked to contact Lifeline Counselling | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
Services or the Samaritans. Earlier this week, staff at Austins | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
department store in Londonderry Many of the 53 staff had spent | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
all of their working lives there and today our North-West | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
reporter, Keiron Tourish, It's been a family illness for | :09:34. | :09:47. | |
decades, Austins of the diamond, and for Declan it has been his working | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
life more 40 years, but today in a deserted restaurant once bustling | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
with people, he can only reflect that it is all over. From the time I | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
joined, I witnessed events, marriages and the project gets that | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
occurred in that time period. What many of our staff don't appreciate | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
when this happens is this sudden wrenching of relationships because | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
this is one big family and if you consider your family bricking up in | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
the way this is happening, it is hard to deal with. It was one of | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
your's oldest department stores, first opened by Thomas Austen in | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
1930. It survived world wars and the recession but recent pressures | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
became too much. Sharon and Tony each have more than 30 years | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
service, starting as teenagers but staying a lifetime. My memories are | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
about the people, Mike colleagues and customers. Sorry. Those by the | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
abiding memories, I will never have friends like here and I know those | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
friends will always be there for me and hopefully I can pay that back. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
The best bunch of friends I have had in my life, any friends I had all | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
worked here. A lot of people used to leave and came back and be called | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
them the blogger ranks. I am proud to say I am not a boomerang. For 30 | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
years and I loved every one of them. Brothers Declan and Luke tried to | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
keep the business going despite pressures on the high street and the | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
onset of online, but this proud and situation has now gone. You don't | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
appreciated until you don't have it, I can honestly say, best times of my | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
life. As staff get health and advice on their future, there is | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
uncertainty on what will happen to this building in the heart of the | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
diamond. It has provided employment for generations as a family run | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
business but that era has now come to an end. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Sad news for the staff. Police and animal welfare officers | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
are appealing for information about an attack on a family pet | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
in the Hillsborough Tiger, a young tabby cat, | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
is suffering third degree burns. You may find some of the pictures in | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
Martin Cassidy's report disturbing. Home and taking the first | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
steps in his recovery, after a horrifying attack which has | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
left this long-haired tabby Tiger's owner was too upset | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
to appear on camera but described how she found her injured pet lying | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
at the front door. The vet head what he thinks has | :12:39. | :12:50. | |
happened is that they threw an accelerant on his back and then they | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
let him, when so they let him, the fired group over him, but all did | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
damage is on his back legs onto his back, he has no further or whiskers | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
and on that era. While Tiger's vet has been able | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
to treat the burns and provide pain someone would do this | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
to a defenceless family pet I didn't know if you would come home | :13:21. | :13:42. | |
last night, but Hank Phillipe his home, and with a lot of love and | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
care and his friends, he will hopefully recover. -- thankfully. | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
Just a few hours ago, it was to hard to know | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
if he would pull through, but after a reassuring cuddle | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
at home, Tiger suddenly starts to eat, a sure sign | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
This time three years ago, traces of horse meat were found | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
in ready meals and frozen beefburgers. | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
An independent investigation was scathing of the monitoring | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
Donna has been speaking to Professor Chris Elliott | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
at Queen's University, who headed up that inquiry. | :14:14. | :14:27. | |
That was a test on a piece of fish I brought in but well we await the | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
results, after the horse meat scandal, what about official testing | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
of the food chain? What is in place to make sure food is authentic? | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
There has been a huge amount of 70 in the food industry to make sure | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
the food we buy is safe and genuine. A lot of work on what we call supply | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
chain mapping, looking at where things happen, making sure those are | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
correct. What sort of foods should we worry about, the foods that are | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
covered by fraudsters? We should be reassured about our food supply | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
system but when I look globally there is a lot of fraud in many | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
commodities, like milk, olive oil, herbs, spices and fish. It is | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
impossible for consumers to protect ourselves, we are dependent on the | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
people we buy our food from to protect us and that is why the food | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
industry is working with government to make sure what we buy is safe. | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
You have a big team here, what sort of research are you carrying out at | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
the moment? We do a lot of work with local, national, multinational food | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
companies to look at supply chains four or materials and show them the | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
best way to check those to make sure they are safe. Let's look at the | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
result of the piece of fish I brought in, brought by my producer, | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
one of the cheapest fish products we could buy in Belfast. It said called | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
on the label. Could there be a problem? I would hope it will be | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
Jimmy Mullen because we have well-controlled supply systems but | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
globally fraud in fish is one of the biggest problems we encounter. In a | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
few seconds we will see what the instrumentation will identify this | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
PC 's. It is called, 99.0%. So which is exactly as your producer bought | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
so he obviously has an eye for a bargain. Looking at the food we buy | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
in the shops, how worried should we be at the present time that our food | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
is what we think it is? We have one of the safest food supply systems in | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
the world but behind that will set a huge number of people trying to | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
protect us because fraud in the food supply systems is a global problem. | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
Thank you for your time. Have you changed your eating habits since the | :17:20. | :17:26. | |
horse meat scandal? We would like to know your news and opinions. Check | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
out the conversation on our Facebook page. | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
The Environment Minister has apologised for a controversial | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
comment he made about abortion at a women's event. | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
The SDLP MLA Mark H Durkan was criticised for remarks he made | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
at the launch of a women's manifesto in Londonderry yesterday. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
Mark H Durkan said it was an attempt to bring a bit | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
He was speaking at the launch of a women's manifesto at this | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
When he talked about abortion, he said: "Let's address | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
the elephant in the room - or should that be the | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
Stunned silence and an intake of breath. The minister continued to | :18:01. | :18:18. | |
speak around the issue, as we were leaving the event numerous women | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
told me how disgusted they were. This morning, Mr Durkan | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
said his comments weren't funny. I would like to add a large eyes | :18:25. | :18:38. | |
those remarks and -- with draw those remarks and apologise. I made a | :18:39. | :18:46. | |
clumsy decision and apologise for offence caused. | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
He said he didn't intend to offend anyone, especially anyone | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
going through the trauma of a crisis pregnancy. | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
Ian Paisley Junior has been handed six points and fined ?250 | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
The North Antrim MP did not have to appear at Lisburn Magistrates' | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Court today, but a solicitor representing him said | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
that the offence was an oversight and, at the time, his client | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
assumed his insurance had automatically renewed. | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
Mr Paisley was stopped by police in the city last February. | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
The court heard that when police informed him it had expired a few | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
weeks earlier he immediately arranged cover. | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Running 5K might sound like a challenge if you're | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
reasonably healthy, but what if you have a serious health problem? | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
Well, a thousand people across Northern Ireland have been | :19:25. | :19:26. | |
taking part in what's called the Couch To 5K running scheme. | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
When they started, many weren't able to run at all. | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has been | :19:34. | :19:36. | |
talking to some of those going the distance. | :19:37. | :19:38. | |
These three have more than just running in common - | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
they all have a serious health problem but are using exercise | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
As well as running, Alayne Kinver attends her local gym. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Eight years ago she had a defibrillator implanted | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
after being diagnosed with a serious heart condition. | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
For years she didn't do any exercise, until her doctor | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
advised her to run to maintain a healthy heart. | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
I never thought I would be able to go out and run, and when you come | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
home from work and are proud, going out and running is the best thing | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
because it gives you that energy. These days it seems | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
everyone's running. According to Alayne's doctor, | :20:17. | :20:17. | |
under the right conditions exercise For her, running was an ideal | :20:18. | :20:29. | |
activity, it was some physical exercise but not excessive and she | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
was enthusiastic about that and it will help her heart. | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
Local fitness instructor Gerard Walls receives referrals | :20:36. | :20:36. | |
from GPs who believe their patients could benefit from a good | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
Everyone can do something. People sitting at home saying that is not | :20:40. | :20:51. | |
for me, ask where you are compared to them and say, are you doing | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
enough for yourself? As if running isn't a big enough | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
challenge, imagine accomplishing For this runner, it's | :20:58. | :21:00. | |

met so many people and made so many friends -- 2.5 stone. | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
Both Tony and Alayne have been involved in the Couch To 5K | :21:21. | :21:23. | |

This weekend Belfast's Ormeau Park will see hundreds of | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
This stroke survivor says running's helping keep him alive. | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
Having got over my stroke about eight years ago, and luckily because | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
I hadn't any weakness on either side, I thought, what's to be lost? | :21:41. | :21:49. | |
And probably, also I knew there was a result to be gained. | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
If you're thinking of getting the running bug, it's always good | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
Now, all over the country, budding young journalists have been | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
gathering stories for BBC News School Report today. | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
11-to-16-year-old students have been getting the opportunity to learn how | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Our reporter David Maxwell has been having a look at some of stories | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
For assumption Grammar School students from Ballynahinch, it was | :22:10. | :22:26. | |
bread and butter issues. We were here with a baker who teaches the | :22:27. | :22:34. | |
ball hope to make traditional bread. Use your hands, the best tool you | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
will ever have. Belfast Royal Academy opted for a sports feature | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
on one of their own. Four years ago Tom first backed up a set of golf | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
clubs. He is now the junior world champion and has laid and exciting | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
places. How do you balance your love of golf with school? I get home, do | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
homework set that day so I don't have homework at the weekend or next | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
week, so I can do to school for a bit longer. From golf to gadgets and | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
the bright sparks behind them. We are here in the centre of Belfast | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
ambition like, about inspiring teenagers like us that you don't | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
need to leave Northern Ireland. It was tough questions from Campbell | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
College at his science festival. What are your views on is themselves | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
therapy and do you believe we can and should create super athletes? | :23:36. | :23:42. | |
There is a lot of media hype around the fact athletes use themselves | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
therapy. And it isn't TV without the all-important payoff. I'm Jude. I'm | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
Ryan. I'm Kerry. Back to the studio. After a two-week break, | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
the Six Nations starts again this weekend and Ireland today | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
named their starting team. 2016 hasn't gone according | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
to plan for Joe Schmidt. Ireland have yet to win a game this | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
year, and should they lose to Italy this weekend, Ireland | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
could finish the championship On Saturday they play Italy | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
in Dublin, where Jared Payne comes Nial Foster is with the Ireland | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
squad in County Kildare. Without a win since Cobra, there's | :24:21. | :24:35. | |
nervousness in the Irish rugby camp and that has been reflected in Joe | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Schmidt's team selection. He has reverted to a tried and tested | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
approach by reinstating Jared Payne at outside centre. What he gives us | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
is important in the front line, we know he can do the job at backline | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
and Simon gives us a letter that option, variety in what we can offer | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
in attack and defence of the, so that is the thinking but it's good | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
to have him back in the mix. A cautious outlook from the coach but | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
Jared Payne's defensive attributes are a welcome boost for 18 without a | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
victory in the last four matches. His talk is very clear and accurate | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
anti-leaves you are under no illusion about what you need to do | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
and for the other backs, he leads that the offensive shape. Deathly's | :25:31. | :25:39. | |
last victory in Dublin was in 1997. This group of players will hope it | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
stays that way -- Italy's. And finally, the water down football | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
club has denied reports that it has breached rules by paying an amateur | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
player. Let's get the weather, no | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
complaints. The East Coast had the best of the sunshine and if it | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
wasn't for the barrenness of the trees you would think it was a day | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
in the summer. The next few days will not be as sunny, we will have | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
weather fronts which will bring damp weather tomorrow but this high | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
pressure hills in at the weekend so things strike up unsettled well will | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
continue into next week, so it stays mild, we will have rain for up time | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
tomorrow and drier weather, and runners could be running in T-shirts | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
this weekend. Tonight is cloudy and mild, a few spots of rain in the | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
West but otherwise it is dry, though unfortunately we will see cloudier | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
skies tomorrow. There is a fog though there, there was fog in | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
places this morning, tomorrow fog is more likely on the hills, otherwise | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
some rain moves east through the day. Initially it is dry through the | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
rush-hour for County Antrim, Belfast and Armagh, no frost or iced, | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
temperatures starting off at six or seven, thicker cloud in the West | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
with some drizzle in Fermanagh and around and some low clouds | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
smothering the hill is the Sperrins, and that damp weather moves east, | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
the breeze except, coming in from a mild direction but will not feel as | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
nice as today. It is damp and grizzly on Friday night, initially | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
on Saturday there will be some aptness to the morning, especially | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
in the north and west, but it will get drier as the day goes on and | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
temperatures will hit 12 degrees, perhaps with some brightness in | :27:45. | :27:47. | |
Belfast and the south-east. On Sunday we expect things to stay dry | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
generally, more chance of sunshine and temperatures will hit at least | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
13. High pressure world continue to keep things find into next week, | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
fingers crossed it stays until St Patrick's Day but it's not looking | :28:04. | :28:04. | |
bad. | :28:05. | :28:06. |
