Good evening, this is BBC Newsline. The headlines... | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
Good fire which killed a mother and daughter in Dungannon was started | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
deliberately. The police have appealed for the person responsible | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
to do the right thing. Why more than half of post-primary | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
schools in the north-east could close in a radical shake-up. | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
One million for the Orange Order to help it step towards reconciliation. | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
Should add Belfast street be named in the memory of one of the worst | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
atrocities of the Troubles? Tributes are paid to the founder of | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
the Corrymeela Community here in Ballycastle and around the world. | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
The spotlight is on medical care at football matches again after an | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
incident at a cup-tie in Belfast. Not much heat around today as this | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
cool showery spell of weather continues. I will have the details | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
later. The fire which killed a mother and | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
daughter in Dungannon at the weekend was started deliberately. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
The police have called on whoever was responsible for the death of | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
Elizabeth McGirr and her daughter, Deidre, to search their conscience. | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
A man who was in the flat at Dunlea Vale at the time escaped unhurt. | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
The police have stressed that he isn't a suspect. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
A gesture of grief and respect from the community mourning the loss of | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
two local women. 71-year-old Elizabeth McGirr, known as Betty, | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
and her daughter, Deidre, died in the fire at you do's home shortly | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
before 10 o'clock on Saturday night. -- the advert. The police now | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
believe the fire was started deliberately. The detective leading | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
the investigation had this message for whoever was behind it. It may | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
not have been your intention to hurt anyone. Things may have got | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
out of control. I would ask you to search a conscience, consider the | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
feelings of the family. Let them have closure around this and come | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
forward and tell us what happened. It is not too late to do the right | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
thing. The fire could easily have claimed a third life, something | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
detectives are stressing. Another resident of the flat managed to get | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
out of the building. It was nothing short of miraculous that he was | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
able to escape the flames and survive. The detective went on to | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
say that the man was in a long-term relationship with their grip and | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
was not expected of starting the fire. -- Deidre. Police have | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
reviewed their appeal for witnesses. 29 schools could be closed because | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
of financial pressures. A leaked document from the North Eastern | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Education Board suggests cutting more than half of its post- | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
primaries. It covers most of County Antrim, including Larne and | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
Ballymena. In particular, schools in Ballymena are targeted. A board | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
spokesman says the document is a draft and final decisions are up to | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
:03:22. | :03:24. | ||
the minister. Education Board have been told to | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
suggest changes which would result in a all post-primary is having at | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
least 500 people are getting results and not in debt. The north- | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
eastern border area has more than 3,000 empty spaces. Draft documents | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
leaked to the Ballymena Guardian said there could be only 20 post- | :03:41. | :03:48. | |
primary schools instead of the current 49. 29 out of 49 sounds | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
dramatic but considering lots of Catholic schools will amalgamate | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
and some will join to form bigger campuses, perhaps it is | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
understandable. Ballymena has been targeted for urgent action and a | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
group of local schools suggests closing two skills, including | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
Cambridge House Grammar. There are 10 schools in the Ballymena | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
partnership and one -- all but one have signed up to a proposal for | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
the future of schooling in this area. This one has not signed up. | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
It has 270 pupils and has formal intervention. The board of | :04:23. | :04:29. | |
governors has submitted its own proposals which could mean this | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
cabbie's catering for all ages. The North Eastern Board is happy that | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
suggestions are coming in. We are delighted to have these submissions | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
and we are aware that it is not necessarily signed up to buy all | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
schools. Teachers' unions admit skills will close but dramatic | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
headlines concern them. The biggest concern would be that the jobs | :04:56. | :05:05. | |
would be at greater risk if parents and pupils went with their feet. | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Went sensationalised pet -- headlines:, parents will move the | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
children in advance of any decision. It has been stressed that no | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
decisions will be made without consultation. | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
The most ambitious projects by the Orange Order in a century - that's | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
how a new EU-funded reconciliation and confidence building scheme has | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
been described. Nearly a million pounds has been pumped into the | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
:05:37. | :05:38. | ||
project, along with seven full-time staff. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
This is one image people have of the Orange Order, men parading | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
behind bands, sometimes in areas where they are not welcome. The | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Orange Order says it is much more than this and wants to tell people | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
about it. It wants Protestants to feel more able to come forward at | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
interface and a cross community levels. This three-year project, | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
the aims to do just that. Orange institution carries a great | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
burden of history. We are not seeking to divest ourselves of that | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
history. We want to remember 1690 and remember the Ulster covenant | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
and the part that the Orange Institution played in the formation | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
of this country of Northern Ireland. That does not mean we want to live | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
in 1690, or 1912. It is the biggest project the Orange Order has | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
undertaken in the last 100 years and in terms of the significance of | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
this organisation in Northern Ireland, its strength in terms of | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
its culture and presence, there is no question that today is a | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
milestone. Does this mean opening up official lines of communication | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
with republicans and Sinn Fein? portray it in this way is putting a | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
political aspect into the scheme which is not there. The idea of | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
this is to build good relationships and local level with people who are | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
comfortable to engage with us, but people we are comfortable in | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
engaging with. Unionist and nationalist politicians were at | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
today's announcement, where the mood was positive. My answer people | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
have been asking for this kind of thing. The nationalist community | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
has benefited from this kind of European money and generally | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
speaking the Protestant community has been behind the door. | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
Orange Order says the cross- community work and the end of this | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
work will reach out to about 8,000 people during a period of the | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
project. Whether or not they reach back will be key to the success. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
Now an update on the wedding which was stopped in Larne registry | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
office. BBC Newsline was there yesterday when officers from the UK | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Border Agency arrested five people suspected of being involved in a | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
sham marriage. Today, the would-be bride and two female witnesses were | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
in court in Antrim. 26 year-old Naydyne Botelho, who is originally | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
from Portugal but with an address in London, faces four charges. The | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
court was told she'd been paid �3,000 to take part and had already | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
married two other men from Nigeria. One of them has now gained | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
residency in the UK. The accused's solicitor said she co-operated | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
fully with the investigators. Ms Botelho wept as bail was refused. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Staff at the Belfast Telegraph say they are not convinced by | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
management assurances that there will be no job losses in the switch | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
to morning-only publication. The change at the end of the week will | :08:33. | :08:42. | |
:08:43. | :08:45. | ||
leave Northern Ireland with no evening newspaper. | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Their late Telegraph were once familiar cries from vendors. The | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
Evening Telegraph has been on sale in the streets of Belfast for | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
generations. In its heyday it has several editions throughout the day. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
A country are Derry edition, the 4th, the early, the late and the | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
final, but the era of the evening newspaper is drawn to a close. The | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Belfast Telegraph has decided it will no longer print during the day, | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
it will print one edition in the morning. Effectively ending the | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
traditional role as an evening newspaper. This will bring it head- | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
to-head against existing morning titles on the news stands. The term | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
evening newspaper has become irrelevant. There is not really | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
such a role any more in terms of Updating what has been available in | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
print earlier. By the time you do that, we have all caught up online | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
or on TV and elsewhere. That process has changed and the | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Telegraph would say to you that they are responding to be changed. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
While the latest figures show it remains Northern Ireland's biggest | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
selling regional newspaper with a circulation of almost 54,000, sales | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
have been falling, down 8% in May last six months of last year. No | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
one was available for interview but in a statement it said its focus | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
remains on the quality of its editorial content. A spokesman said | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
no jobs would be affected. According to one former trade union | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
has to work there, staff were worried about the future. | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
future, when you drop additions like this and become a morning | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
newspaper, jobs will be lost. -- E editions. The Belfast Telegraph is | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
now published in Newry. This important page turn in its history | :10:39. | :10:47. | |
begins on Friday. All the best, cheerier. | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
You're watching BBC Newsline. Still to come... | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Remembering the life of a peacemaker - Ray Davey, founder of | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
the Corrymeela Community, dies at the age of 97. | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
And the story of the Limerick farmer who took the owners of the | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
Titanic to court, and won. Unionists are opposing a second | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
attempt to name a street in north Belfast in memory of the victims of | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
the loyalist bombing of McGurk's Bar in 1971. It looks like the | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
renaming will happen, but a DUP councillor says it's not | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:27. | ||
appropriate and would set a dangerous precedent. | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
This is a nationalist part of north Belfast and the residents of this | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
new development want to reject the street name chosen by the council | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
18 months ago. Officially this is freshers caught her. The name below, | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
is what the community wants in memory of 15 Catholics killed just | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
across the road in what was McGurk's Bar. What is the problem? | :11:52. | :11:58. | |
How does it offend anyone? They are innocent people and we are not | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
allowed to remember them? We are remembering the Titanic, let's get | :12:01. | :12:08. | |
real! Belfast council is divided on party lines. Unionists have found | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
themselves out voted in committee and are dismayed at the prospect of | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
losing again. It is right that we remember the terrible suffering and | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
the loss of life and the injuries and damage caused by bombings and | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
shootings. But by renaming streets, I do not think that is the right | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
way to do it, and I don't accept that some people do have -- I don't | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
doubt some people have an agenda. We could get into a competition, a | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
tit-for-tat situation. The bombing of McGurk's Bar was one of the | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
worst acts of the Troubles. The families of those killed say the | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
name change could act as an important reminder. Future | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
generations hopefully, whenever they ask for a query the etymology | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
of the police name, hopefully they will be able to attend to the | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
lessons of the past to ensure we do not do the same again. Belfast | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
councillors will be split once more when this issue comes before a | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
meeting of the full council on 1st May. Then, the name change could | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
well become official. What this demonstrates is that the past still | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
has the capacity to cause political division. | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
The work of people like the Reverend Ray Davey stopped our | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
society falling apart. That's one of the tributes paid to the founder | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
of the Corrymeela Community, who died yesterday. Ray Davey started | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
Corrymeela in 1965, before the Troubles, but as the conflict | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
worsened it became a centre for reconciliation and peace building. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Our district journalist has been spending the day at the Corrymeela | :13:38. | :13:48. | |
:13:48. | :13:52. | ||
Community Centre near Ballycastle. There's certainly a very sombre | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
atmosphere today among those who knew Ray Davey. He started this | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
place in the 1960s as a place for reconciliation. He retired in the | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
1980s but was still very much involved. The building that we are | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
using at the moment bear his name. Five decades on, the work that he | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
started is still going on. Corrymeela Community came together | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
before the Troubles but its finer had already seen division and | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
violence close-up. Ray Davey was born in Dunmurry in 1915 as the | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
First World War raged. After university he trained as a | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Presbyterian minister but on his first Sunday in the job, war broke | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
out. He served as a chaplain in Africa and was a prisoner of war in | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Germany during the allied bombing. This experience shaped his thinking | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
and he came home with a determination to build bridges | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
between people and communities. was on a lovely part of the closed. | :14:45. | :14:52. | |
It already had accommodation for 60 or 70 people and it also had the | :14:52. | :15:00. | |
advantage of being a marvellously quiet place, a healing place, where | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
people could relax. That isolation became a valuable asset when | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
violence broke out in the late 60s. It was a time when the work of Ray | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
Davey and his volunteers took on a new urgency. What happened here was | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
not always universally welcomed. There were people coming to the | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
centre to talk and to use this open space, or do save space, and many | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
people would say we should not be talking to them at all in those | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
days. Obviously, paramilitaries, for example. Thousands of others | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
from all walks of life have -- of life have come here to help and | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
heal. The Corrymeela name and its founder are known around the world | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
and what Ray Davey started is still going on. The people who met him | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
were touched. They didn't have just made a great man, but he encouraged | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
them to find their own voice. have got a lot to learn from each | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
other, no matter what a point of view. We need each other and I feel | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
that is a tremendously important area for us to work together in for | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
the future. Tributes been paid to here, across Northern Ireland and | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
the world. Ray Davey touched a lot of lives and his legacy and the | :16:20. | :16:30. | |
:16:30. | :16:34. | ||
legacy of Corrymeela lives on through them. | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
After a week at sea, the Balmoral, which has been tracing the route of | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
the Titanic, has reached Halifax in Nova Scotia. Many of the victims | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
are buried there and the families have been visiting the graves. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
This is a city which is remembered for recovering the dead. A century | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
ago, the remains were brought to Halifax in Nova Scotia. One ship | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
was sent into the Atlantic to search for the bodies of those who | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
died on board the Titanic and to do with the sheer numbers, public | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
buildings had to be used as makeshift morgues. In these | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
cemeteries, scores of the victims still live. After visiting the | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
wreck site it was another important port of call for the passengers | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
paying tribute. It was clearly one of the most emotional of the | :17:14. | :17:22. | |
journey. Yesterday, this couple had their wedding blessed on board the | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
Balmoral. Today be took large from the service and placed them at the | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
:17:35. | :17:38. | ||
graves. Very sad. Some people are looking for the names of those who | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
died but what strikes you is the sheer number of graves with just no | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
names at all on them. They are just known by numbers. For the | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
passengers to trace the route of the Titanic to the spot of the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
sinking, one headstone in particular stood out, the grave of | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
the unknown child. In recent years, thanks to DNA testing, the boy was | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
identified but many still feel at personal connection with the story. | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
37 years ago I lost a baby. I did not know for six weeks but it had | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
been a little girl. We didn't find out until last year where she was | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
buried. Can you imagine what it would be like for a parent to know | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
that there is a child buried here and not know whether it is hers are | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
not? That's the one that really strikes home with me. A lost child. | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
One final part of this journey remains, to go to New York, the | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
:18:47. | :18:49. | ||
city which held so many hopes and dreams for those who died. | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
Later tonight, BBC Newsline will broadcast a special programme | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
telling the story of a father who took the owners of the Titanic to | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
court and won. His family only found out about this David and | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
Goliath battle 100 years after the ship went down. | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
All this family ever knew about the Titanic was that they had a | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
relative who died on it. They knew nothing about the court case their | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
great-grandfather took a year after it sank. We were shocked when we | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
heard about it and amazed that Thomas Ryan, he had wanted to | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
pursue a case like this, taking on a huge company and that he actually | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
won. The great uncle Patrick had been on his way to a new life in | :19:39. | :19:44. | |
America when the ship went down. In 1913, his father, already in his | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
seventies, travelled from his home in County Limerick to the High | :19:49. | :19:55. | |
Court in London to suit White Star Line. The jury found in his favour, | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
that the owners of the Titanic had been negligent by not slowing down | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
after receiving several warnings of eyes. We are gobsmacked that this | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
has happened and it has come to light 100 years after. It is | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
amazing stuff. Tonight, in a special BBC Newsline programme, you | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
can follow the Ryan family on their journey of discovery. | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
You can see more on that story on BBC Newsline's special tonight on | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
BBC One at 10:35pm, after our late news. | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
An exciting night of football in the Setanta Cup, but not without | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
controversy. Crusaders have taken a big step | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
towards booking a place in the Setanta Cup final. They beat | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
Airtricity leaders Sligo Rovers 2-0 in the first leg of their semi at | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Seaview last night. However, the visiting team were unhappy with the | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
speed of the medical care of the ground after one of the Sligo | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:06. | ||
players experienced breathing difficulties. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
Knockout competition brings out the best in Crusaders. Two goals | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
brought an end to Sligo Rovers's unbeaten run. The club was forced | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
on the defensive following this injury to Rovers, Jason McGuinness. | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
He has had problems breathing and I am shocked there was no doctor on | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
hand. We had to wait for 10 minutes for oxygen. I find it appalling. | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
The issue is whether the host club should have had a doctor and | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
ambulance crew on site? Crusaders insist they met their obligations | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
by providing paramedic care. Maybe he was looking for a doctor as well | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
but we have a full ambulance crew and even our own Visio with a | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
defibrillator and everything. We are equipped for anything. On the | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
pitch, medical provision is a hot topic given the death of an Italian | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
footballer during a match at a weekend. Also, Fabrice Mumbai | :22:07. | :22:14. | |
suffering a cardiac arrest last month. It takes up a sizable but | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
vital part of the Budget. The it does cost clubs -- it costs clubs a | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
lot to have recovered. It is essential to have it and it is | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
absolutely no problem, we have to find the finance. As for the club's | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
fortunes in terms of silverware, having won the League Cup and | :22:37. | :22:47. | |
needed three to the Irish Cup final, Crusaders are now aiming for a hat- | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
trick. The injured Sligo player Jason | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
McGuinness is fine. If Crusaders get through to the final, their | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
probable opponents are Derry City, who beat Shamrock Rovers 3-0 in | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Dublin. The key moment in the game came just 15 minutes in, went | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
Rovers' goalkeeper, Reyaard Pieterse, was set off for a | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
professional foul. His replacement, Oscar Jonsson, saved the ensuing | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
penalty but he couldn't stop Kevin Deery's following from the rebound. | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
The visitors doubled their lead in spectacular fashion early in the | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
second half through Patrick McEleny. It was 3-0 before the end, when | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
Ryan McBride headed home. The second legs in both semi-finals are | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
next Monday night. Ulster scrum half Paul Marshall has | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
been ruled out a Friday's Pro12 game against Leinster at Ravenhill | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
because of an elbow injury. There is still a question over his | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
availability for the Heineken Cup semi-final against Edinburgh on | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
:23:47. | :23:49. | ||
Saturday week. Paul Marshall has had a scan and he | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
has a tear in the ligament in his elbow. It will take a bit of time. | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
We will know more next Tuesday and we can see if any healing has taken | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
place. We have to wait until next Tuesday. He will not play this | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
weekend but fingers crossed, the semi-final is not out of the | :24:06. | :24:12. | |
equation yet. Paddy Barnes has won his first | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
fight at the only pre-qualifying boxing event in Turkey. He stopped | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
his Hungarian upon it in the second round and he needs one more win in | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
the quarter-final against Romania tomorrow night to qualify for | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
London 2012. In Gaelic games, Terry Hyland is | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
the new Cavan senior football manager. His first match in charge | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
will be the opening round of Ulster Championship against holders | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
Donegal next month. Earlier today, Cecilia Daly said | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
she wanted weather photos of showers. She can now tell us what | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
:24:55. | :25:01. | ||
There were plenty of choices. I've got a reply from someone called | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
Paul Donnelly with a shower cubicle! Other people obeyed the | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
rules and said in a proper pictures. We are going to keep this weather | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
for the rest of the week. Not everybody gets a share with all of | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
the time or in the same intensity. The most frequent heavy showers | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
were in the West. There were a lot of hailstones in Fermanagh and | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
Tyrone, towards Londonderry. Eventually, some showers hit the | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
east as well. There is an area getting going over the Antrim hills, | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
quite intense. Belfast is on the tail end of that. One of our father | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
was sent in a picture just before the Sharon arrived on the Cregagh | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
Road. -- the shower. No pressure to the rest of us at the moment, | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
gradually moving showers. -- moving south. By Thursday, it is quite far | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
away. Showers should be fewer but we will still have a cool northerly | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
wind. Not an awful lot of heat around the next few days. The worst | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
showers will ease the way this evening. Sa Ameobi East Coast and | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
particularly in the set East. -- some showers in the east coast and | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
the South East. For Western Counties, some sunshine tomorrow. | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
The East will be cloudier with showers compared to today. The show | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
was develop fairly randomly as the days go on. They will ease off in | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
the afternoon across Northern Counties. The win moves into the | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
North tomorrow afternoon and many parts of the North will become | :26:44. | :26:49. |
