Mourners at the funeral of a family of five who died in an apparent

:00:09.:00:12.

murder-suicide have been told by the local priest that it is

:00:13.:00:14.

The bodies of Alan and Clodagh Hawe, and their sons Liam, Niall,

:00:15.:00:21.

and Ryan were found at their home in Cavan on Monday.

:00:22.:00:25.

Kevin Magee reports from County Cavan.

:00:26.:00:31.

A scene of sadness beyond description and belief. The coffins

:00:32.:00:38.

of five members of an entire family are carried into a country church

:00:39.:00:45.

for a requiem mass. Parents Alan and Clodagh Hawe, and Liam, Niall and

:00:46.:00:50.

Ryan were laid to rest this afternoon at Saint Mary's church.

:00:51.:00:53.

Hundreds turned up to pay their respects. The priest said that the

:00:54.:01:00.

families of both parents, Alan and Clodagh, were united in support and

brokenness. And we're sharing the building, burden, will and pain.

:01:06.:01:09.

Last week, the Hawe family seemed like any other, but

Last week, the Hawe family seemed side in the adjoining cemetery.

:01:18.:01:18.

People in this close-knit community have suffered an unimaginable loss.

:01:19.:01:21.

Now that the funerals have taken place, they are being left to grieve

:01:22.:01:26.

and trying to make some sense out of what had happened.

:01:27.:01:29.

A service has been held in northern France to mark the centenary

:01:30.:01:32.

of the 16th Irish Division's involvement in the

:01:33.:01:34.

The Secretary of State James Brokenshire and the Republic's

:01:35.:01:37.

Regional Development Minister, Heather Humphreys

:01:38.:01:39.

were among those at the commemoration.

:01:40.:01:40.

The people of this town have never seen anything like this before,

:01:41.:01:59.

British and Irish soldiers joined honouring the dead at the 16th Irish

:02:00.:02:04.

division at this tiny village on the Somme. The Royal Irish Regiment and

:02:05.:02:09.

the Irish Defence Forces mounted the ceremonial cenotaph guard. There are

:02:10.:02:14.

politicians laid wreaths. Laurel from for the UK. Hundreds gathered

:02:15.:02:20.

at the granite Celtic cross erected in memory of the day that the 16th

Irish division. The Stormont junior minister of the DUP lead a read, as

:02:27.:02:30.

the Secretary of State and the Irish Minister for regional development,

:02:31.:02:35.

Heather Humphreys. It just goes to show the great cooperation there is

:02:36.:02:39.

between the defence forces in the UK and in Ireland and in Northern

:02:40.:02:44.

Ireland. And it is great to see as all here today united in remembering

:02:45.:02:49.

all of those who gave their lives in the First World War, and

:02:50.:02:51.

particularly at the Battle of the Somme. There is a growing confidence

:02:52.:02:57.

within nationalism and unionism to recognise some of our shared

:02:58.:03:02.

history. I am encouraged by the fact that so many nationalists are

:03:03.:03:06.

willing to recognise the role the ancestors paid in the Great War.

:03:07.:03:09.

This was a special moment here in this rural French village. When

:03:10.:03:14.

British and Irish, long divided by history, were united in remembering

:03:15.:03:17.

the sacrifice of young Irish men who died fighting here at the Somme.

:03:18.:03:21.

Onto sport, and Northern Ireland are in Prague this weekend to take

:03:22.:03:23.

on the Czech Republic in their opening

:03:24.:03:25.

The team's feeling positive after the Euros.

:03:26.:03:36.

The confidence we have is a collective team is absolutely

:03:37.:03:40.

fantastic. I think the most important thing that Michael made

:03:41.:03:46.

clear is that he wanted continuity. So most of the team, basically all

:03:47.:03:50.

of the team we have, have sort of progressed onto the World Cup from

:03:51.:03:54.

the Urals. Some have been dropped by injury and a couple of new faces

:03:55.:03:59.

Broughton, but the major part of the starting 11 is basically the same.

:04:00.:04:02.

So, are fundamental as the team have not changed, so we are going into

:04:03.:04:10.

this campaign was probably even more confidence than we did with Euro

:04:11.:04:12.

campaign. In rugby, Ireland have made a bid

:04:13.:04:13.

to host the 2023 World Cup, along with France, Italy and South

:04:14.:04:16.

Africa. World Rugby confirmed that the four

:04:17.:04:18.

unions submitted their applications Ireland and Italy have never staged

the event although games were played No sunshine today -

:04:21.:04:24.

but will there be any Here's Angie with

:04:25.:04:28.

the weekend weather. Hello, good evening. After a

:04:29.:04:39.

disappointing day today at least the second half of the weekend is

:04:40.:04:44.

looking a little bit better. But, for this evening, still from rain to

:04:45.:04:47.

content within places. Where those showers come along, a few could be

:04:48.:04:52.

heavy. Maybe even a rumble or two of thunder. That theme continues

:04:53.:04:54.

throughout the night, particularly for part of the north and east.

:04:55.:04:57.

Again, heavy bursts possible. Eventually drying up towards the

:04:58.:05:03.

West. It is a mild-mannered, but lows

:05:04.:05:20.

of 11- at least would like a better day. A lot of dry weather in the

:05:21.:05:25.

forecast and some sunshine. Probably starting at quite cloudy and done,

:05:26.:05:27.

particularly in parts of the East, before the rain clears away, and

:05:28.:05:29.

those skies start to Britain. Also breaking up across the Republic. In

:05:30.:05:32.

the meantime, that fragmenting band of rain moves away. Eventually down

:05:33.:05:34.

towards the east and south east, but broke up in between. Temperatures in

:05:35.:05:37.

the south east should get into the low 20s. It is a better day for

:05:38.:05:39.

Northern Ireland tomorrow. Still a fair amount of sunshine around in

:05:40.:05:42.

the afternoon. Although it probably will become quite hazy. Feeling

:05:43.:05:46.

fairly pleasant. House of 19 towards the South East so maybe a bit

:05:47.:05:49.

fresher on part of the North Coast. A little bit of a change again

:05:50.:05:53.

tomorrow night. Another weather front moves in bringing increasingly

:05:54.:05:57.

wet weather. The isobars are packing in as well, those will become quite

:05:58.:06:00.

breezy. But once it is clear is not too much rain during the first half

:06:01.:06:05.

of next week. Variable, often large amounts of cloud. Some bright spells

:06:06.:06:06.

and it is warming up. In the meantime you can keep
