:00:20. > :00:26.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: Stormont draws up an
:00:26. > :00:29.action plan to save Crumlin Road courthouse from ruin. More
:00:29. > :00:34.harrowing details emerge of how three family members died in a
:00:34. > :00:42.slurry tank accident. A report finds the shooting of an Official
:00:42. > :00:48.IRA man by the army was unjustified. Just two Ulster players are named
:00:48. > :00:52.on the Ireland rugby team to play Wales. We'll hear Declan Kidney's
:00:52. > :00:58.explanation. The wind remains a feature of the weather and after a
:00:58. > :01:01.mild day, it's cooling down again as well. Stormont is stepping in to
:01:01. > :01:04.sort out the future of one of our best known listed buildings.
:01:04. > :01:08.Crumlin Road courthouse in north Belfast has been lying derelict for
:01:08. > :01:10.15 years now and is a state of serious disrepair. It's owned by a
:01:10. > :01:20.private developer, but now Stormont is intervening with an action plan.
:01:20. > :01:25.
:01:25. > :01:31.Julian O'Neill has this exclusive report. The damage is clear for all
:01:31. > :01:36.to see. A series of fires several years ago left this 160-year-old
:01:36. > :01:42.listed building exposed to the elements. According to an architect
:01:42. > :01:47.for the building's own e it is not beyond repair. There is still a
:01:47. > :01:51.structure which is capable of restoration. Number one court, the
:01:51. > :01:55.bit that survived the most and a lot of the original features are
:01:55. > :01:59.there. Although it looks terrible and it is terrible and it would be
:01:59. > :02:05.great to see work starting, we still have a structure that is
:02:05. > :02:12.important and can be restored. Crumlin Road jail is enjoying a new
:02:12. > :02:17.lease of life, thanks to fub lick - - public funds. But the court has
:02:17. > :02:21.failed to attract investment. As far back as 2007 the jail and the
:02:21. > :02:25.court house were seen as playing a key role in the revitalisation of
:02:25. > :02:30.what is one of the most deprived parts of Belfast. While the jail
:02:30. > :02:34.has been refurbished into a tourist attraction, at the court house,
:02:34. > :02:39.time has stood still, as first plans for an office and then a
:02:39. > :02:42.hotel have failed to get off the drawing board. Stormont has
:02:42. > :02:48.commissioned a report and it will establish the building's condition
:02:48. > :02:53.and value. It will also select the preferred development option. And
:02:53. > :02:57.taking back public ownership through vesting or buying the court
:02:57. > :03:03.house is a possible outcome. The social development minister says it
:03:03. > :03:07.is time to act. I see it in terms of regeneration, economic
:03:07. > :03:12.development, employment opportunities. Also the removal of
:03:12. > :03:15.a blight from that part of the city. We have condemned people, the
:03:15. > :03:20.owners have condemned people for years to living in an area where
:03:20. > :03:24.that is what they look at day after day. That is unacceptable. We need
:03:24. > :03:28.a resolution and I'm determined that we will do that. The owner has
:03:28. > :03:33.a new idea and his architect told me it is to turn the corporate
:03:33. > :03:37.house into a museum for records and drawings of local historic
:03:37. > :03:47.buildings. There has been a muted reception in the community. Bearing
:03:47. > :03:52.in mind this building sits, it is actually an interface between
:03:52. > :03:58.Antrim Road, Cliftonville and Shankill, I feel -- fail to imagine
:03:58. > :04:05.what would draw someone like myself or someone from a deprived building
:04:05. > :04:12.to access a wilding -- building to access architect. The economic down
:04:12. > :04:21.U-turn has not helped. The study on its future is due to be completed
:04:21. > :04:24.by July. The deaths of three members of the Spence family last
:04:24. > :04:27.September has been described as the worst farming tragedy here in 20
:04:27. > :04:30.years. The inquest into the deaths of Noel Spence, and his two sons
:04:30. > :04:38.Graham and Nevin finished today and our reporter Claire Savage was in
:04:38. > :04:45.the Coroner's Court in Belfast. Today giving evidence was the state
:04:45. > :04:49.pathologist professor Jack Crane. He said when the men entered the
:04:49. > :04:54.tank, the level of toxic gases was high enough to render the men
:04:54. > :04:58.unconscious and when they fell into the slurry, they died. Two Health
:04:58. > :05:02.and Safety Executives gave evidence about the dangers of working in
:05:02. > :05:06.tanks on farm and recommended a number of precautions. You take of
:05:06. > :05:11.taking a bottle of fizzy drink with the cap on, shake it and removing
:05:11. > :05:16.the cap. You get a huge quantity of gas released. That is what happens
:05:16. > :05:21.when you mix slurry. The advice is get the animals out, mix on a windy
:05:21. > :05:27.day, open all openings, put in the pump, start it up and get out and
:05:27. > :05:30.stay out for half an hour at least. The coroner said this was an
:05:30. > :05:35.unbelievable tragedy and when it happened people were river eted to
:05:35. > :05:39.the newspapers and radio as they couldn't believe such a tragedy
:05:39. > :05:43.could happen in the 21st Century. He added until this happened, not
:05:43. > :05:48.everyone was aware of the dangers and said what he has been told is
:05:48. > :05:54.the message is getting across to the wider Northern Ireland farming
:05:55. > :05:59.community. And that the tradgejibg - tragic death were now known
:05:59. > :06:04.throughout the British Isles. He said not only was a it a loss to
:06:04. > :06:10.the farming communities, but to anyone that loved rugby and that
:06:10. > :06:15.Nevin's loss was felt throughout the rugby world. The coroner added
:06:15. > :06:20.that often the ending of an inquest brought closure to a family, but he
:06:20. > :06:29.didn't that that was the case in this instance and he hoped the
:06:29. > :06:33.Spence family would be able to get on with their lives. A 26-year-old
:06:33. > :06:36.man has died in a car crash in County Armagh. It happened on
:06:36. > :06:39.Monaghan Road at Madden on Monday. The man was driving a silver car
:06:39. > :06:44.which went into a hedge. The police have appealed for anyone who saw
:06:44. > :06:47.the crash to contact them. Detectives are treating as
:06:47. > :06:50.attempted murder an incident in Omagh when a pipe bomb was left
:06:50. > :06:52.close to a police officer's home. The off-duty officer fired after he
:06:52. > :06:55.said he saw people acting suspiciously near the house in the
:06:55. > :07:05.Coolnagard area on Friday night. The police officer no longer lives
:07:05. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:10.there but had returned to carry out repairs. A judge has ruled that a
:07:10. > :07:13.15-year-old girl should remain in a juvenile detention centre, after
:07:13. > :07:15.hearing claims that she was involved in sex and drug-taking
:07:15. > :07:19.sessions with men linked to Loyalist paramilitaries. The
:07:19. > :07:29.teenager - who is in care - was refused bail to help her sever ties
:07:29. > :07:30.
:07:30. > :07:34.with any men trying to exploit her. Julie McCullough has the story.
:07:34. > :07:39.What more can you tell us. Frplgt these allegations emerged during a
:07:39. > :07:42.bail hearing for the teenager today. The 15-year-old, who can't be
:07:42. > :07:46.identified for legal reasons, is charged with assaulting a member of
:07:46. > :07:50.staff and another resident at a children's home. Last week it was
:07:50. > :07:53.claimed that she breeched her conditions, by leaving the home
:07:53. > :07:58.without permission early on a morning that she was due in court.
:07:58. > :08:03.The court was later told she had said a local LVF man had demanded
:08:03. > :08:08.she go to his home at 5am. A prosecution lawyer told the court
:08:08. > :08:12.that the girl referred to engaging in sexual activity with more than
:08:12. > :08:15.one man and taking cocaine and other drugs. He said she was
:08:16. > :08:19.forming dangerous bonds and that the trust wanted to break the bonds.
:08:19. > :08:23.He said while the home was happy to have her back, they wanted her to
:08:23. > :08:27.spend some time in secure accommodation first. What did her
:08:27. > :08:31.legal team have to say? Well, a defence lawyer accepted that the
:08:32. > :08:37.girl had left the home at the request of a local known figure.
:08:37. > :08:40.But he added she said her own safety was never in doubt. And she
:08:40. > :08:45.denies some of the circumstances outlined about her activity with
:08:45. > :08:49.older men. However, the judge pointed out that vulnerable young
:08:49. > :08:55.people in care are being targeted very often for sexual purposes. And
:08:55. > :08:59.he said those who do it seem to know who might easily fall under
:08:59. > :09:06.their influence. He ruled she should remain in a juvenile
:09:06. > :09:10.detention centre until secure accommodation is found. Thank you.
:09:10. > :09:17.An information has found that the Parachutet Regiment were not
:09:17. > :09:21.justified in shooting an official figure in the IRA in Belfast 40
:09:21. > :09:29.years ago. The finding has come from the Historical Enquiries Team.
:09:29. > :09:37.Mervyn Jess reports. Official IRA leader, Joe McCann during a gun
:09:37. > :09:45.battle in the 70s. A year later, he was dead. Shot by the army running
:09:45. > :09:48.away from the police in the city's Markets ar Y -- area. His widow was
:09:48. > :09:52.the chief mourner at his funeral. Today, she and her sons and
:09:52. > :09:56.daughters were at a news conference outlieping the findings of the
:09:57. > :10:03.Historical Enquiries Team report into his killing. The official IRA
:10:03. > :10:08.leader was shot dead by paratrooperers 1972 as he was
:10:08. > :10:15.running way from the police. shooting of our father was not
:10:15. > :10:18.justified. It was unjustified. report says while Joe McCann was
:10:18. > :10:23.wanted in connection with terrorist crime and the soldiers thought he
:10:23. > :10:30.was armed, his actions did not amount to the level of specific
:10:30. > :10:36.threat to justify them opening fire. All three soldiers, A, B and C,
:10:36. > :10:42.opened fire and Joe fell. Having been struck by three bullets. He
:10:42. > :10:49.was unarmed. It has not been possible to question the Special
:10:49. > :10:54.Branch version of events. Because incredibly the RUC then and the
:10:54. > :10:58.PSNI now claim no -- not to be aware of the Special Branch
:10:58. > :11:04.officers who were following Joe. The feignedings themselves were
:11:04. > :11:09.that the paras were unjustified in their use of lethal force and
:11:09. > :11:14.contravened the yellow card and their own procedures. The shooting
:11:14. > :11:19.of this IRA figure led to widespread rioting in Belfast at
:11:19. > :11:24.the time. The Historical Enquiries Team report concludes there are no
:11:24. > :11:34.lines of inquiry, or further investigative opportunities that
:11:34. > :11:43.could clarify the circumstances of his death. Still to come: Two
:11:43. > :11:46.churches close to the border are targeted by armed robbers. The
:11:46. > :11:48.Alliance Party is being accused of denying parents the choice over
:11:48. > :11:51.their children's education by proposing a major increase in
:11:51. > :11:54.places in integrated schools. It's one of a series of proposals in a
:11:54. > :12:04.new Alliance document setting out how the Executive should build a
:12:04. > :12:06.
:12:06. > :12:10.shared future. Our Political Editor Mark Devenport is at Stormont. How
:12:10. > :12:16.do alliance hope to achieve this expadges in integrated education?
:12:16. > :12:21.They are setting a dramatic target for more than tripling the number
:12:21. > :12:25.of children in integrated schools by 2020. They would make it easier
:12:25. > :12:32.for some schools to deClare themselves as integrated and saying
:12:32. > :12:37.all new build schools should be integrated. The alliance minister
:12:37. > :12:43.said the party is responding to popular demands. In the fast few
:12:43. > :12:49.weirs we have had 6% of our -- in the past few year we have had 6% of
:12:49. > :12:53.children in integrated schools. The schools have a range of benefits.
:12:54. > :12:58.We have a plan to increase the number of places in Northern
:12:58. > :13:02.Ireland and we believe that is in line with what most people want to
:13:02. > :13:07.see. What has been the reaction to that plan? Well there has been
:13:07. > :13:12.criticism of the plan from other parties. The DUP and Sinn Fein and
:13:12. > :13:20.the SDLP say that the plan appears to eliminate parental choice. We
:13:20. > :13:26.asked Jim Clarke from the council for Catholic maintained schools
:13:26. > :13:30.whether this increase was realistic. The simple answer is no. We have
:13:30. > :13:35.had 25 years of department encouraging integrated education
:13:35. > :13:40.and we have 6%. We have many spare places in the integrated sector.
:13:40. > :13:44.Only five or six schools are oversubscribed. The offer of
:13:44. > :13:49.Catholic education is available throughout the world and it is
:13:49. > :13:56.nearly almost a sign of a mature society that we can offer a faith-
:13:56. > :14:01.based option. We are prepared to offer a fate-based option,
:14:01. > :14:05.alongside the Protestant churches if communities want that. This I
:14:05. > :14:11.about a shared feature with flag flying at the centre of attention.
:14:11. > :14:16.What is the party proposing there? They suggest that the designated
:14:16. > :14:20.day flag flying policy should be applied to all government buildings
:14:20. > :14:24.and should be rolled out across the other new supercouncils which are
:14:24. > :14:30.due to come into existence. They also call for regulation of the
:14:30. > :14:35.flying of flags on street furniture, such as lamp posts. So people could
:14:35. > :14:38.apply for a licence to fly the union flag around a certain day and
:14:38. > :14:42.after that it would be their responsibility to take that flag
:14:42. > :14:49.down. I should say that this is of course an alliance proposal and the
:14:50. > :14:56.First Minister in a BBC interview rejected the notion of any Parades
:14:56. > :15:00.Commission-style body to regulate flag flying. So not all the parties
:15:00. > :15:09.are singing off the same hymn sheet. Thank you. You're watching BBC
:15:09. > :15:19.Newsline and still to come on the programme: I'm live at Donegal,
:15:19. > :15:20.
:15:20. > :15:22.they play Linfield tonight. Within the last hour senior politicians in
:15:22. > :15:25.the Republic have been paying tribute to the bravery of Detective
:15:25. > :15:28.Garda Adrian Donohoe. He was murdered last Friday night while on
:15:28. > :15:34.escort duty outside a credit union in County Louth. Shane Harrison is
:15:34. > :15:39.in Dublin. What is the latest on the investigation. The Irish
:15:39. > :15:44.justice minister and senior police officers believe a burnt out car
:15:44. > :15:48.found in woods near the scene is linked to the murder of Adrian
:15:48. > :15:56.Donohoe, whose funeral will take place tomorrow. It emerged the car
:15:56. > :16:00.was stolen in a village a few days before the murder and kept out of
:16:00. > :16:07.circulation. There are reports that police have a good idea who the
:16:07. > :16:11.murder gang are, but those reports are not being officially confirmed.
:16:11. > :16:16.The focus remains on North Louth criminals. Politicians have been
:16:16. > :16:21.paying tribute to the police officer today? Yes members of the
:16:21. > :16:24.Parliament stood in silence in tribute to Adrian Donohoe. The
:16:24. > :16:29.Taoiseach told the house that the murder of a garda is a capital
:16:29. > :16:34.offence with a mandatory 40 year sentence and in paying tribute he
:16:34. > :16:38.said no effort would be spared in bringing the killers before the
:16:38. > :16:47.courts. Let me assure everyone here, everyone in his family and in the
:16:47. > :16:55.country, that we will do everything possible to bring those who
:16:55. > :17:00.murdered Adrian Donohoe to justice. And we will not rest and we cannot
:17:00. > :17:05.rest until we have done. So Sinn Fein president, Gerry Adams,
:17:05. > :17:13.appealed to anyone with information to contact the police. H said Mr
:17:13. > :17:19.Donohoe's murder brought memories of the murder of Gerry McCabe in
:17:19. > :17:24.1996 and Ger ger apologised to Gerry McCabe's widow and said he
:17:24. > :17:28.was sorry for the pain inflicted on those who had served the state.
:17:28. > :17:31.Thank you. A parish priest who knew Detective Adrian Donohoe has been
:17:31. > :17:34.speaking about his fears when he was held by armed raiders in his
:17:34. > :17:36.parochial house last night. The robbery was in Belturbet in County
:17:36. > :17:39.Cavan shortly before another robbery at a parochial house in
:17:39. > :17:49.Kinawley in County Fermanagh. It's thought the same gang was involved.
:17:49. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:54.With more here's our district reporter Julian Fowler. Recovering
:17:54. > :17:59.from their ordeal, the parish priest and his house keeper have
:17:59. > :18:03.been left shaken after three men came to the house last night and
:18:03. > :18:10.demanded money. They were kept in the kitchen for half an hour while
:18:10. > :18:19.the gang searched the house. The I offered the man with a hammer a cup
:18:19. > :18:23.of tea. Which he declined. So I didn't feel frightened, my house
:18:23. > :18:26.keeper was terrified. She said it was the worst ordeal she had
:18:26. > :18:33.experienced. Me said the murder of police officer had crossed his mind.
:18:33. > :18:38.I felt this was of a minor nature compared to the, horrible events in
:18:38. > :18:42.Dundalk. I knew Adrian Donohoe. I was in parish some years back and
:18:42. > :18:47.he was a wonderful young man. Wonderful. Half an hour after
:18:47. > :18:52.leaving the area, it is thought the same gang crossed the border and
:18:52. > :18:57.made their way to the pa roachial house elsewhere. Two women were
:18:57. > :19:02.counting money in the office when the gang came through the door.
:19:02. > :19:07.think priests' houses would be targeted, somebody said nothing is
:19:07. > :19:11.sacred. But I have been heartened by the messages of support by
:19:11. > :19:19.people in the Parrish who are sickened this is happening. It is
:19:19. > :19:25.thought only a small sup was taken in both robbery -- sum was taken in
:19:25. > :19:28.both robberies. Ulster may be the in-form team in Irish rugby at the
:19:28. > :19:31.moment. But just two of their players have been picked for the
:19:31. > :19:35.international side to play Wales in the Six Nations championship on
:19:35. > :19:38.Saturday. Austin O'Callaghan is in west Belfast this evening. I'm at
:19:38. > :19:42.Suffolk Road, home of Donegal Celtic, who play Linfield in a key
:19:42. > :19:45.league match tonight. More on that in a few moments. But, yes, I think
:19:45. > :19:51.a few eyebrows were raised around Ravenhill at Declan's Kidney's team
:19:51. > :19:55.selection for the trip to Cardiff on Saturday. Ulster may be top of
:19:55. > :19:57.rugby's Pro 12, but only Rory Best and winger Craig Gilroy have made
:19:57. > :20:01.the starting 15. Two more players Chris Henry and Declan Fitzpatrick
:20:01. > :20:06.have been named on the bench. Our reporter Thomas Kane has spent the
:20:06. > :20:12.day at the Ireland team headquarters in county Kildare. It
:20:12. > :20:19.wasn't exactly the changing of guard, but the new captain wasn't
:20:19. > :20:24.going to let the previous skipper Hoad hill up on his way to training.
:20:24. > :20:32.-- hold him up on his way to training. Hitching a ride with him
:20:32. > :20:37.was a young Ulster man handed his Six Nations debut. Having announced
:20:37. > :20:42.his presence during the November internationals. He has been playing
:20:42. > :20:47.well. He played well on the right- wing against the Barbarians last
:20:47. > :20:53.year. That was well noted. He can go on both and acquit himself well.
:20:53. > :20:58.That is no easy task. He deserves his chance. Ulster have been the in
:20:58. > :21:05.form Irish province this season and while Stephen ferris and Tommy Bow
:21:05. > :21:10.would have started, the contingent from the side is outnumbered by the
:21:10. > :21:14.Repationings from Munster and Leinster. -- representations. Can
:21:14. > :21:18.you understand supporters saying we are doing well and we only have two
:21:18. > :21:23.starting. I wasn't aware of that until you pointed that out. That is
:21:23. > :21:28.never the way we pick the team. I could imagine you know hn you do
:21:28. > :21:33.the numbers, but once you're involved in an Irish set up, if the
:21:33. > :21:38.15 lads come from there and they're the best 15, that is the 15 that
:21:38. > :21:46.will play. I think Chris Henry is hard done by. His form has been
:21:46. > :21:50.comepgsal. The Ulster guys have to be more patient. -- exceptional.
:21:50. > :21:55.They are unluckly there not a few more of them in the team. Although
:21:55. > :22:00.not named in the match day 22, Ian Henderson will travel with the
:22:00. > :22:09.squad asen extra player. Suggesting that Declan Kidney will give him a
:22:09. > :22:19.chance to impress as the Six Nations progresses. Wales again

:22:30. > :22:35.match is off. $$WHITEWith me now is the DC manager Pat McAllister. Who
:22:35. > :22:38.needs the points most? What Linfield need is no concern to me.
:22:39. > :22:43.My only focus is to keep the club in the league. We haven't been
:22:43. > :22:48.picking up many points. So it is important to start getting points
:22:48. > :22:57.on the board. Whats gone wrong this season? It is simple, we haven't
:22:57. > :23:03.won enough games. But our level of performance has been good. We have
:23:03. > :23:12.matched teams but we have lacked the killing edge up front. Good
:23:12. > :23:20.luck tonight. Kick off is at quart tore 8 and Mr Is cover on radio
:23:20. > :23:22.Ulster immediate wave. -- medium wave. Next to one of the more
:23:22. > :23:25.unusual journeys for one of our leading rally drivers. The BBC's
:23:25. > :23:29.Top Gear programme has enlisted the help of Dungannon's Kris Meeke. His
:23:29. > :23:31.task - to drive a luxury car around a world rally championship circuit
:23:31. > :23:36.with presenter James May as co- pilot. Denise Watson's report
:23:36. > :23:41.begins with an excerpt from a roller coaster ride. Are you scared
:23:41. > :23:50.about driving this on a rally course? I am a bit. You should be
:23:50. > :23:55.more scared. Come on. Plus two left. Don't call the notes. When Chris
:23:55. > :24:01.Meeke is at the wheel, he means business. But James May wasn't up
:24:01. > :24:08.to speed with the pace notes. was something different and to take
:24:08. > :24:15.a 2.3 turn Bentley 620 was something different. As Chris tried
:24:15. > :24:21.to keep the car on the road, James was getting on his nerve. Get it
:24:21. > :24:25.right or shut up. When you're running on gravel tracks on those
:24:26. > :24:34.tyres, the grip can be limited. It was capable of doing up to 145mph.
:24:34. > :24:39.So trying to get it stopped in those sishs can be challenging.
:24:39. > :24:44.this was a challenge, sustaining a career is more difficult. The
:24:44. > :24:50.County ty Rhone man is without a drive and the economic climate
:24:50. > :24:54.causing the world of motor sport to tighten its belt. There is not many
:24:54. > :24:59.properly paid seats at the top level, once you come out of that,
:24:59. > :25:04.it is hard to earn a living. But I want to be back competing. Million
:25:04. > :25:09.of Top Gear viewers will agree. If he can drive a Bentley around a
:25:09. > :25:19.rally course like thi, it is only a matter of time before he is back on
:25:19. > :25:23.
:25:23. > :25:30.the world stage. Larne against Lurgan Celtic is off. But the two
:25:30. > :25:33.league matches are on. I'm sure it's a bit soggy underfoot at
:25:33. > :25:35.Donegal Celtic tonight - it's been a wild day. Angie has more to tell
:25:35. > :25:38.a wild day. Angie has more to tell us about the windy weather. The
:25:38. > :25:43.wind has been a feature and will continue to be a feature over the
:25:43. > :25:48.next couple of days, but did you notice how mild it felt? That is
:25:48. > :25:53.because the wind was coming from the south and lifted the
:25:53. > :25:59.temperatures into double fi,. Highest temperature 14.3 Celsius.
:25:59. > :26:08.Look how much higher than the average which is normally around
:26:08. > :26:12.six degrees. But the weather was quite wild, windy and wet. That is
:26:12. > :26:16.clearing and now that weather system is moving away, we look at
:26:17. > :26:21.the isobars, the white line, they're packing in tightly tonight.
:26:21. > :26:27.So gale force gusts maybe as high as 60mph towards the north coast.
:26:27. > :26:30.That could cause some minor tree damage. But it is a dry evening and
:26:30. > :26:34.those strongest winds should die away during the night. But it is
:26:34. > :26:38.still breezy and that breeze will bring more showers. Some later in
:26:38. > :26:44.the night could be on the heavy side. But at least it is frost-free
:26:44. > :26:48.No lower than four or five degrees. Tomorrow, the showery and windy
:26:48. > :26:52.theme continues. But we may get a bright gap through the morning rush
:26:52. > :26:58.hour. But I think as the morning wears on we will see more showers
:26:58. > :27:01.appearing and again where they show up, they could be heavy. Maybe
:27:02. > :27:06.mixed with hail or thunder ch things improve by the afternoon.
:27:06. > :27:10.Although the showers could linger across parts of the east for a
:27:10. > :27:14.while. Drier and brighter weather will follow, with sunshine coming
:27:14. > :27:20.through. But nowhere near as mild as today with the breeze from the
:27:20. > :27:26.west. Highs of around eight degrees. Tomorrow night ot system appears,
:27:26. > :27:29.again the ice bars pack in. So we have to expect a squally band of
:27:30. > :27:34.heavy rain to move through during the latter part of tomorrow night.
:27:34. > :27:38.That should clear away to leave a breezy day on Thursday. A few
:27:38. > :27:42.showers around, particularly towards the north coast. It should
:27:42. > :27:49.become drier towards the weekend fpbgt, the wind should ease down,
