:00:15. > :00:23.Good evening, this is BBC Newsline with Sarah Travers. The headlines
:00:23. > :00:26.this Monday evening: A warning our economy could be
:00:26. > :00:30.damaged if Westminster introduces a pay freeze for thousands of public
:00:30. > :00:32.sector workers. Dealing with the past, former
:00:32. > :00:38.paramilitaries and top police officers learn lessons from the
:00:38. > :00:46.conflict in South Africa. And a carnival St Patrick's Day
:00:46. > :00:49.atmosphere as potential flashpoints pass off without incident.
:00:49. > :00:56.I am live on the route of the Olympic torch with details of your
:00:56. > :01:01.chance to see it this summer. We are live in Loughgiel where they
:01:01. > :01:04.have come out to welcome their curling heroes.
:01:04. > :01:12.And the sun may have disappeared today, but it should break through
:01:12. > :01:15.in places again tomorrow. The Finance Minister has warned
:01:15. > :01:21.that the Northern Ireland economy could be badly damaged by Treasury
:01:21. > :01:24.plans to effectively freeze the pay of many public sector workers. It
:01:24. > :01:27.has been widely reported that this week's budget will start a process
:01:27. > :01:32.aimed at bringing average public sector wages into line with those
:01:32. > :01:34.in the private sector. In Northern Ireland, average wages in the
:01:34. > :01:40.public sector are much higher, meaning those workers could face
:01:40. > :01:43.years with no real pay rise. Sammy Wilson said the plans could have a
:01:43. > :01:49.devastating impact on thousands of people here. Our business and
:01:49. > :01:54.economics editor Jim Fitzpatrick reports.
:01:54. > :02:00.There are more than 200,000 public sector workers in Northern Ireland.
:02:00. > :02:04.The combined wage bill is well over �4 billion. The Chancellor, who
:02:04. > :02:12.pays that bill, wants them to come down. It seems not all staff are
:02:12. > :02:15.being targeted. Certain sections of the civil service may be first in
:02:15. > :02:18.line for a prolonged pay freezes. The Chancellor is being cheered by
:02:18. > :02:23.the private sector, which has long argued it cannot afford to pay what
:02:23. > :02:28.the public sector workers enjoy it. They are having to pay more so they
:02:28. > :02:31.are less competitive so we cannot export and we have a problem.
:02:31. > :02:39.but unions argued that pay comparisons which appear to show
:02:39. > :02:43.public sector workers in Northern Ireland enjoy between 15% and 30%
:02:43. > :02:46.higher Blears are misleading. it should be paid irrespective of
:02:46. > :02:49.whereabouts in the United Kingdom you are employed. If you are
:02:49. > :02:54.employed at the same employer are doing the same work at the same
:02:54. > :02:58.level, the pay rates should reflect that. In Northern Ireland, the left
:02:58. > :03:03.and a public sector dominated economy. Even those that do not
:03:03. > :03:06.work directly for the state rely on the pay packets of those to do.
:03:06. > :03:10.Retailers, restaurateurs, plumbers, electricians. If those wage packets
:03:10. > :03:14.are effectively cut to bring them into line with private sector it
:03:14. > :03:18.might require a pay freeze lasting years, that would mean less money
:03:18. > :03:22.spent. If the savings go back to Westminster, it could be bad news
:03:22. > :03:26.for the Northern Ireland economy. There will be less spending power
:03:26. > :03:29.in the Northern Irish economy, less spending power means less jobs for
:03:29. > :03:33.people who would deliver the normal goods and services which people
:03:33. > :03:38.spend their money on. And that means increased unemployment, it
:03:38. > :03:44.means lower standards of living and it means that people are going to
:03:44. > :03:49.find it more difficult to make ends meet. Under Gordon Brown, Best Buy
:03:49. > :03:56.was offered the chance to lower public care and -- public a Antigua
:03:56. > :03:58.Sailing to spend elsewhere. -- Best Buy was offered.
:03:58. > :04:01.And starting tomorrow on BBC Newsline, our political
:04:01. > :04:08.correspondent Martina Purdy has a series looking at how more economic
:04:08. > :04:12.changes could affect your life. Will you fare better in the new
:04:12. > :04:15.benefits system? I will be looking at reforms to the regime the
:04:15. > :04:17.Government says in broken -- is broken.
:04:17. > :04:22.The police say they are investigating alleged sexual
:04:22. > :04:24.offences against as many as 50 boys here. The details emerged at a
:04:24. > :04:27.Belfast court hearing, were 17 year-old boy was accused of
:04:27. > :04:33.inciting a child to engage in sexual activity along with making
:04:33. > :04:36.and distributing indecent images of children. All of the charges relate
:04:36. > :04:40.to internet activity. The accused was released on bail on the
:04:40. > :04:43.condition that he does not use the internet.
:04:43. > :04:46.The countdown to the London Olympic Games is well and truly underway,
:04:46. > :04:50.and today, the route the Olympic flame will take through northern
:04:50. > :04:55.Ireland has been revealed. Our reporter Will Leitch is at one of
:04:55. > :04:58.the landmarks which will be visited by the flame.
:04:58. > :05:08.I am at Carrickfergus Castle, just one of the iconic buildings the
:05:08. > :05:10.
:05:10. > :05:12.torch will visit. For five days out of the whole 70 day relay, Northern
:05:12. > :05:18.Ireland's cities, towns and villages will share the Olympic
:05:18. > :05:28.torch, as will Dublin for a morning as well. For 95% of the population,
:05:28. > :05:33.
:05:33. > :05:39.say the organisers, the flame should pass within 10 miles of you.
:05:39. > :05:44.On day one, it starts at the Titanic Centre in Belfast. It goes
:05:44. > :05:50.up the Antrim coast past Carrickfergus onto Lauren, a glance
:05:50. > :05:58.and Ballycastle. Ending in Port Rush. Next day, it starts in a
:05:58. > :06:04.rowing boat in Coleraine before heading west and over to Lemar
:06:04. > :06:09.baddie. Passing over the new piece Bridge. Then it is Southend West
:06:09. > :06:15.from Derry to Strabane, Oman and Enniskillen. Before moving
:06:15. > :06:22.eastwards to our match, Portadown, Banbridge and Yuri. On day four, it
:06:22. > :06:30.starts in Dublin. It restarts in new-right, passing through Lisburn
:06:30. > :06:38.and ending with a celebration at city hall in Belfast. The last day
:06:38. > :06:41.sees... Five days in Ireland, before the torch moves on to
:06:41. > :06:48.Scotland. It will even visit all of the MLAs
:06:48. > :06:51.at Stormont. You can see all the details of that route on BBC News
:06:51. > :06:54.Online. Throughout the whole relay, there will be around 6000 Olympic
:06:54. > :06:57.torch bearers - from day one at the Titanic Centre, right to the local
:06:57. > :07:00.finish in Moorfields, there will be well over 100 people every day,
:07:00. > :07:04.chosen as an inspiration to their communities. So, what is it like
:07:04. > :07:13.for the people who were picked? Teresa Craig has been meeting one
:07:13. > :07:16.of them, Sion Mills schoolboy Darryl Harper.
:07:16. > :07:20.For one County Tyrone schoolboy, the prospect of carrying the
:07:20. > :07:26.Olympic torch is a dream come true. Darryl is in his first year at
:07:26. > :07:30.Strabane Academy. It was teaching staff there who nominated him.
:07:31. > :07:38.really happy. I cannot wait to carry the torch, it is going to be
:07:38. > :07:40.good fun. In a few months, Darryl will replace school books with the
:07:40. > :07:50.Olympic thing. He is excited at cannot believe he has been chosen.
:07:50. > :07:54.He it means a lot. I am surprised to got chosen. While he may be
:07:54. > :07:58.modest about making history, it is no surprise to his family and all
:07:58. > :08:05.those who know end. He is a talented horse rider and it is not
:08:05. > :08:10.his first taste of the Olympics. It is his love of all things
:08:10. > :08:16.equestrian that has opened these opportunities to him. Very excited
:08:17. > :08:20.for him. Especially in his first year a pig school. He travels to
:08:20. > :08:23.Omar twice a week for the riding of the Disabled Association and has
:08:23. > :08:28.competed twice in national championships. Her we are really
:08:28. > :08:35.pleased for him because his own efforts earned it for him. He could
:08:35. > :08:39.not be a better representative. am hoping people will be watching
:08:39. > :08:45.me. As Darryl looks forward to done in the white and gold uniform of
:08:45. > :08:49.the torch bearer, he says it will be at day he will remember forever.
:08:49. > :08:51.Teresa Craig reporting there. The flame arrives here in 11 weeks time,
:08:51. > :08:54.before passing through our towns and cities, beautiful countryside
:08:54. > :09:04.and landmarks. Our best to all the torch bearers as they get practice
:09:04. > :09:06.
:09:06. > :09:09.running and holding aloft - not easy.
:09:09. > :09:15.BBC Newsline will have full coverage when the torch arrives.
:09:15. > :09:18.Still to come on the programme: Potential flashpoints on St
:09:18. > :09:21.Patrick's Day pass off peacefully. And agony as Ireland's men's hockey
:09:21. > :09:30.team say goodbye to their Olympic dream, but ecstasy for the hurlers
:09:30. > :09:34.Politicians from both sides of the border will be welcomed at the
:09:34. > :09:36.White House tomorrow as guests of President Obama. But away from the
:09:36. > :09:40.limelight, a peace-building experiment has been taking place,
:09:40. > :09:43.involving senior police officers and former paramilitaries. They
:09:43. > :09:48.have travelled to South Africa to study policing, and crucially, how
:09:48. > :09:51.to deal with the legacy of the past. The trip was spearheaded by the
:09:51. > :09:53.Conflict Research Institute at the University of Ulster, with the help
:09:53. > :09:57.of community groups. The BBC's special correspondent Fergal Keane
:09:57. > :10:01.reports. In a place once traumatised by
:10:01. > :10:09.political violence, an extraordinary group has come
:10:10. > :10:16.together. Here, a former senior IRA man, chatting to a police officer,
:10:16. > :10:19.his organisation once wanted to kill. This man is a top policemen
:10:19. > :10:25.from the Irish Republic. Sitting near him, a former loyalist
:10:25. > :10:31.prisoner. He is very easy to be angry with people who don't know.
:10:31. > :10:37.But when you get in touch with humanity and get to know them as a
:10:37. > :10:40.person, anything is possible. have come here from a place with a
:10:40. > :10:48.political settlement but what still bitter divisions over the legacy of
:10:48. > :10:58.violence. Here, they met when Mrs from the truth and reconciliation
:10:58. > :11:01.
:11:01. > :11:05.commission. Who is a victim? A victim is someone who was violated.
:11:05. > :11:13.South Africa's truth commission named names and was often
:11:13. > :11:18.emotionally highly charged. There is no consensus for anything like
:11:18. > :11:22.this in Ireland. But for one influential figure, some process is
:11:22. > :11:28.needed. Do the DEC, as a Republican, the
:11:28. > :11:34.IRA taking part in some kind of truth Commission? Very much so.
:11:34. > :11:39.Even if that meant saying painful truths? The it is about conflict.
:11:39. > :11:47.Conflict is at the end of the day about war, it is about killing
:11:47. > :11:51.people. So obviously it is painful. But the devil is in the detail. No
:11:51. > :11:56.group wants to see its members publicly named and blamed. There
:11:56. > :12:02.are strong political opposition to public inquiries or an amnesty for
:12:02. > :12:06.those who inflicted violence. only have the story. It means
:12:07. > :12:11.discussions like this and others at home are tentative, part of a much
:12:11. > :12:17.longer process in that creating trust and for the first time in
:12:17. > :12:22.Irish history, the possibility of a shared memory. It is contentious,
:12:22. > :12:26.it is the blame game. But if people could create the Good Friday

:12:34. > :12:40.from Europe. It builds on previous visits to other conflict zones.
:12:40. > :12:47.There is no end to this or start to it. We need to look at their
:12:47. > :12:51.experiences here and we will create Tyrone. There must stop, the island
:12:51. > :12:59.jail where Nelson Mandela and others were imprisoned. -- the last
:12:59. > :13:03.stop. Here, the cells where men spent decades of their lives. Yet
:13:03. > :13:09.they emerge with a message of reconciliation. This is a brave
:13:09. > :13:12.journey, Auld enemies working together to try and find an answer
:13:12. > :13:16.to a question that divides politicians and confirms Government.
:13:16. > :13:21.How do you answer the demand from the victims of violence for the
:13:21. > :13:28.truth about the past? The answer to that question may be some time in
:13:28. > :13:31.coming. But it is central to creating an enduring peace.
:13:31. > :13:37.Thousands of people took part in St Patrick's Day carnivals all across
:13:37. > :13:42.Ireland this weekend. And in Armagh, a controversial loyalist parade on
:13:42. > :13:45.St Patrick's Day passed off without incident. There was also no repeat
:13:45. > :13:55.of trouble in Belfast's main student district. Our reporter Dan
:13:55. > :14:00.
:14:00. > :14:04.The biggest parade included big golf stars. There was also a
:14:04. > :14:08.Titanic theme and an Olympic team for 2012, all watched by an
:14:09. > :14:13.estimated 20,000 people who lined the route through the city centre.
:14:13. > :14:16.I took a drive around this area on Saturday night way it seemed there
:14:16. > :14:20.were more police officers and stewards than there were students,
:14:20. > :14:25.who had taken advantage of the long weekend to go home to their
:14:25. > :14:29.families. But in Armagh, there were two
:14:29. > :14:32.arrests as a contentious loyalist band parade held in the city passed
:14:32. > :14:39.peacefully. But some businesses said people stayed away and that
:14:39. > :14:45.their trade suffered. Last week, the Parades Commission upheld a
:14:45. > :14:50.decision... Earlier in the day, hundreds of people had lined the
:14:50. > :14:53.route through the city for the annual sum Patrick's parade.
:14:53. > :14:59.Although our Mart was unlucky with the weather, it did not stop the
:14:59. > :15:05.families from enjoying the fun. In Downpatrick, the patron saint of
:15:05. > :15:11.the proceedings for the town centre. Very proud to be here. The best
:15:11. > :15:15.parade in the country! Thousands lined the route to watch
:15:15. > :15:20.60 floats as they wound their way through the town. We are really
:15:20. > :15:25.enjoying the atmosphere, it is very good. This is my first time and it
:15:25. > :15:28.is really good. Really busy. Dublin had by far the largest parade in
:15:29. > :15:33.the republic. There were spectacular scenes as tens of
:15:33. > :15:41.thousands of people watched the many different loads, bans and
:15:41. > :15:46.dancers on display. Derry saw more than 90 community groups taking
:15:46. > :15:52.part in the parade through the city. It was excellent, and excellent day
:15:52. > :15:56.out. The kids love debt. E Newton Abbey, soldiers and their family
:15:56. > :16:01.enjoyed a fun day. The 2nd Battalion Royal Irish Regiment were
:16:01. > :16:06.joined by cadets and other VIPs to receive the shamrock. The brain
:16:06. > :16:10.also held off for the 100 who took part in the annual pilgrimage to
:16:10. > :16:14.the top of this mountain to end this year's St Patrick's Day
:16:14. > :16:18.proceedings. The St Patrick's Day bank holiday
:16:18. > :16:20.weekend is one of the busiest of the year for sport. Here's Stephen
:16:20. > :16:26.Watson I'll bring you all the action from
:16:26. > :16:31.today's three schools finals shortly. But first tonight it's
:16:31. > :16:34.hockey heartbreak for Ireland. The men's teams narrowly missed out on
:16:34. > :16:37.a place at this summers Olympic Games after a dramatic last-second
:16:37. > :16:47.defeat to Korea. Ireland lost 3-2 in the final of the qualifying
:16:47. > :16:49.
:16:49. > :16:54.tournament for London 2012. The look on the players' faces said
:16:54. > :16:59.it all. This is how it feels to agonisingly missed the opportunity
:16:59. > :17:02.of fulfilling your sporting dream. They have given so many years of
:17:02. > :17:08.their life to qualify for these Olympic Games and a missed out in
:17:08. > :17:14.the last 20 seconds, it is heartbreaking. Ireland were left to
:17:14. > :17:22.watch on. Korea celebrated. They had booked their Olympic place in
:17:22. > :17:29.the most dramatic fashion. Ireland led the game twice. Ireland have
:17:30. > :17:35.scored! But the Koreans for back to level at 2-2. Then this happened.
:17:35. > :17:41.Korea's goal in the last seconds was referred to the video referee
:17:41. > :17:50.forced to a such a thin margin and a cruel way to go out. But the goal
:17:50. > :17:54.The goal is being given. players and the staff have worked
:17:54. > :17:59.hard, longer than three years. It will be tough for them to face up
:17:59. > :18:04.tomorrow, but as in life, Sport the deals as blows and we have to stand
:18:04. > :18:08.up again and keep going. The men may have missed out, but now it is
:18:08. > :18:11.the turn of the women to try and qualify for London this week.
:18:11. > :18:14.Let's hope they can make it. The St Patrick's Day Bank Holiday
:18:14. > :18:16.is traditionally the biggest day in the schools sporting calendar. At
:18:16. > :18:20.Ulster rugby headquarters, Ravenhill Methodist College won the
:18:20. > :18:27.Northern Bank Schools Cup. The Belfast School beat Ballyclare High
:18:27. > :18:31.by 22 points to 6. Methody dominated the first half scoring
:18:31. > :18:33.three tries - Rory Winters gave them an early lead and added two
:18:33. > :18:36.more before the interval to give them a commanding lead. James
:18:36. > :18:39.Harrison raced between the posts and Conor McKee squeezed in at the
:18:39. > :18:42.corner. Methday are the most successful school in the history of
:18:42. > :18:50.the competition and added another try in the second half to seal
:18:50. > :18:53.their 33rd win and lift the second oldest trophy in world rugby.
:18:53. > :18:56.Our Lady and St Patrick's won today's Senior Schools Football
:18:57. > :19:03.Final at New Grosvenor. They beat St Malachy's College by three goals
:19:03. > :19:06.to nil. Captain Tom Grimley gave St Patrick's a 1-0 half time lead. And
:19:06. > :19:10.despite having a player sent off at the start of the second half, the
:19:10. > :19:14.ten men went on to score two more goals. Grimley again and this one
:19:14. > :19:19.by man of the match Matthew Cola- Lucca. Our Lady and St Patrick's
:19:19. > :19:22.lifting the Maxol Direct Trophy. The winners of today's BT Macrory
:19:22. > :19:25.Cup are St Michael's Enniskillen. They beat St Pats Maghera in the
:19:25. > :19:28.Gaelic football final at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh. St Pats
:19:28. > :19:31.controlled the first half and Gerry Bradley's fine goal helped them to
:19:31. > :19:37.a four-point lead at the break, but St Michael's fought back in the
:19:37. > :19:40.second half and added seven points in a dominant display. Fermanagh's

:19:48. > :19:52.Crossmaglen must replay their All Ireland club Gaelic football final
:19:52. > :19:55.after drawing with underdogs Garrycastle at Croke Park. But the
:19:55. > :19:59.big winners on St Patrick's Day were the hurlers of Loughgiel
:19:59. > :20:03.Shamrocks. They who won the All Ireland Final for just the second
:20:03. > :20:12.time in the clubs history. And the celebrations in Antrim are still
:20:12. > :20:16.going on 48 hours later. Mark Sidebottom is there.
:20:16. > :20:23.Thank you very much. You are looking at the next generation. As
:20:24. > :20:33.for the current generation, the captain, 14 -- 48 hours on Cant --,
:20:33. > :20:38.Is a little boy is the son of the man who scored seven points. Those
:20:38. > :20:48.three goals, we are going to look at the penalty. I don't think it
:20:48. > :20:59.
:20:59. > :21:04.I know these people here respect the goal I scored. In a word, what
:21:04. > :21:10.does it mean to the community? Fantastic. It is a great
:21:10. > :21:15.achievement to win a game and a great credit to everyone involved.
:21:15. > :21:24.We are hoping to prosper as a club. Johnny, for you, you have now
:21:24. > :21:29.doubled up. I was only a few months old when we last one, long may it
:21:30. > :21:39.continue. Look at this haircut, they call him Rory Mackle Roy,
:21:40. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:51.The best haircut needs a haircut, I think!
:21:51. > :21:53.It was in the words of the coach Declan Kidney a very bad St
:21:53. > :21:56.Patrick's Day for Irelands rugby players. They ended a disappointing
:21:56. > :22:06.Six Nations campaign with a defeat to England on Saturday. Ireland

:22:13. > :22:17.We are a much better team than we showed that today. It is very quiet
:22:17. > :22:24.and sour in the dressing room. Through the Six Nations, there were
:22:24. > :22:26.glimpses of how good a side we want to be. Who wins in a draw is not

:22:30. > :22:32.It certainly was a weekend to remember for the Belfast Giants ice
:22:33. > :22:35.hockey team. They won the Elite League title for the first time
:22:35. > :22:45.since 2006. And as Austin O'Callaghan reports the thousands

:22:58. > :23:05.and a bottle of champagne. After some near-misses in recent seasons,

:25:20. > :25:23.tonight, the prospects for the rest of the week are looking mostly dry.
:25:23. > :25:26.The cloud will come and go a bit, but that means there will be some
:25:26. > :25:32.breaks so we should see some sunshine coming through from time
:25:32. > :25:37.to time. Plenty of that across Belfast this morning with blue
:25:37. > :25:41.skies, and a blue sky towards the north coast, but here at the clouds
:25:41. > :25:46.were bubbling up and it continued to rolling through the afternoon,
:25:46. > :25:50.spoiling the party and bringing some rain. That has been edging its
:25:50. > :25:54.way south east. It will gradually fizzled away and we will get drier
:25:54. > :25:59.weather this evening, but it will remain cloudy and dusty as well.
:25:59. > :26:03.That breeze will bring further patches of light rain through the
:26:03. > :26:08.course of the night, particularly for central and northern areas.
:26:08. > :26:13.Milder to nine than the last couple of nights. By tomorrow, it is
:26:13. > :26:18.drying up and it should brighten up as well. After a fairly cloudy
:26:18. > :26:22.start to the day, we will find the gusty wind gets to work on the
