:00:50. > :00:55.plant say over 200 workers could be laid off from tomorrow because of

:01:14. > :01:21.Ireland has strongly defended the confidentiality of the confessional

:01:21. > :01:24.box. At Knock Shrine in County Mayo today, Cardinal Sean Brady said it

:01:24. > :01:29.was a sacred and treasured rite, describing any intrusion as a

:01:29. > :01:32.challenge to a free society. Last month, the Irish Government

:01:32. > :01:35.announced new child protection measures in the wake of the Cloyne

:01:35. > :01:39.Report, making it mandatory for priests to reveal child abuse, even

:01:39. > :01:42.if it becomes known through confession. In a statement today,

:02:13. > :02:18.snooker's boom years. He was widely respected and admired. It was his

:02:18. > :02:25.Northern Ireland accent and maybe his build. He was a big man. When

:02:25. > :02:31.they heard and the Northern Ireland accent, they said, "a big man from

:02:31. > :02:36.Northern Ireland, but a huge character. He was always right. No

:02:36. > :02:41.matter what you said, he had a better answer and knew every single

:02:41. > :02:44.thing about snooker. He was a dictionary of snooker.

:02:44. > :02:48.While local councils await new powers to tackle Northern Ireland's

:02:48. > :02:54.litter problem, it's now at its worst for four years. And as Kevin

:02:54. > :03:00.Sharkey reports, that's despite the spending of millions of pounds.

:03:00. > :03:07.It doesn't take too long to find on the streets and roads and parks. To

:03:07. > :03:13.clean it up, the price is high. �100,000 a day, �34 million a year

:03:13. > :03:17.we are spending on it, on the vast majority we don't need to. The it's

:03:17. > :03:22.not confined to town centres. This is a suburban street on the

:03:22. > :03:27.outskirts of Belfast. Well away from the shopping precinct and busy

:03:27. > :03:33.nightlife. You might not expect to find too much rubbish around her. I

:03:33. > :03:40.have found a discarded newspaper, a tin can of. An empty crisp packet.

:03:40. > :03:44.Over here, an empty bottle within 50 yards. It's the same in parks

:03:44. > :03:49.and recreation areas and dog fouling is one of the biggest

:03:49. > :03:54.problems, increasing fivefold over the last year. Even with the heft

:03:54. > :03:59.of a hefty fine. People's mindset has got to change. It takes a long

:03:59. > :04:03.time to do that. I'm not sure you can do it with legislation. It

:04:03. > :04:12.people's attitude which has got to change. No, it getting worse

:04:12. > :04:16.instead a better. That should have been lifted. This was on Monday.

:04:16. > :04:20.Just teach your grandchildren and children what's right and wrong.

:04:20. > :04:25.Then everything should be all right. And on bank holidays like this,

:04:25. > :04:30.some people will go to the bins only to find them overloaded. Some

:04:30. > :04:32.don't even do that. They will throw the rubbish on the ground.

:04:32. > :04:35.A look ahead now to an inspirational story in tomorrow's

:04:35. > :04:37.BBC Newsline. How Derry City footballer Mark Farren, who was

:04:37. > :04:47.diagnosed with a benign brain tumour, has come through surgery

:04:47. > :04:49.

:04:49. > :04:53.and fought his way back to fitness. He has an unequal goalscoring

:04:53. > :04:59.record with the club, goals per game ratio in the history of the

:04:59. > :05:04.club, and, yes, he is just day very modest guy, great humility, he has

:05:04. > :05:07.coped with this tremendously well. This story and much more tomorrow

:05:07. > :05:15.evening at 6:30pm. And now for a look at the weather to come. Here's

:05:15. > :05:19.Good evening. Apart from the odd coastal showers, most places
