Now on BBC one it's time for the news where you are. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
Irish citizens in Northern Ireland and elsewhere could be | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
given the right to vote in Irish presidential elections. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
The Taoiseach Enda Kenny says the Irish Government will hold | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
He made the announcement during a speech in America. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
And Kenny made the announcement as he began -- began a tour of US | :00:24. | :00:37. | |
cities. He confirmed the Government had | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
decided to move forward with plans to hold a referendum to give the | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
right to vote in presidential elections to Irish citizens abroad | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
and in Northern Ireland. There is no more fitting time, and no more | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
fitting place, as we look forward to our worldwide celebration of St | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Patrick's day. And all but that means for what it is to be Irish. | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
This decision of the Government is a clear recognition of the importance | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
that Ireland touches to her citizens, wherever they may be, to | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
our diaspora all over the world. The change would apply only to | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
presidential elections, and not to Dail elections. More details will be | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
published later this month. The referendum is unlikely to be held | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
this year. Assuming it passes, the change would come into effect after | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
the presidential election in 2018. As many as 1 million extra people | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
would be eligible to vote. The Taoiseach's announcement has | :01:43. | :01:45. | |

since the Good Friday Agreement. SDLP leader Colum Eastwood said | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
it was right that people here should have a voice | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
in electing the president. Two men, believed to be a father | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
and son, have been injured after their helicopter crash landed | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
in the garden of a house It happened just outside Carlingford | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
at around 5:15 this evening. One of the men has been flown | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
by coastguard helicopter The other man has been taken away | :02:19. | :02:21. | |

a deal with the European Union. It's thought that Prime Minister | :02:48. | :02:50. | |

David Davis said the Government was working to maintain an invisible | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
border, was working to maintain | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
an invisible border. We have talked to the Irish | :03:04. | :03:16. | |
Government about it, they are onside. We are determined to do it. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
The Commission, remember, have a part to play in the peace process. | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
-- had a part to play. They are absolutely determined in their mind | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
that this is not going to go wrong. So that is the combination of | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
determination that exists here. A barman is in a serious | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
condition in hospital, after he was assaulted | :03:38. | :03:39. | |

and 50 have been arrested. Police are appealing | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
for information. It must have been shopping for | :03:53. | :04:07. | |
customers and staff in the bar. The police have described the assault is | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
brutal, and there were serious head injuries. So it is very concerning. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
-- it must have been shocking. Sport, and Jonathan Rea remains | :04:17. | :04:18. | |

now, with Cecilia Daly. It was pretty mild in some areas | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
this weekend, not everywhere but most places had some decent | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
temperatures and a bit of sunshine. It will get quite chilly over parts | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
of County Down, and cloudy as Wayne and drizzle moves in in the early | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
hours. Lots of it will have gone by early morning, and Monday looks like | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
a dry day in most places. There will be some sunshine around, but a | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
cloudy start. Brightening up, and it should feel pretty mild especially | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
by the afternoon. A lot of fine weather to come across the UK and | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Ireland tomorrow, especially across the Republic in southern Britain. | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
Some rain across North West Scotland later in the afternoon, and there | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
will be one or two showers across Northern Ireland later in the day. | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
But until then it looks like being dry with some sunshine. Then on | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
Tuesday it is a much breezy day across northern Britain, Northern | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
Ireland and the Republic. There will be some showers around as well, but | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
