pretty soggy. Thank you. That is all from the BBC. We | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline: Echoes of Greece - I'm in | :00:00. | :00:25. | |
Dublin where the authorities have taken into care a blonde blue eyed | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
girl living with a Roma family. A significant ruling for gay and | :00:28. | :00:37. | |
unmarried couples wanting to adopt - we've the details. | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of the Shankill bombing - tonight, | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
hundreds are turning out to remember those killed in terrorist | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
atrocities. It would not be the Turner Prize if | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
there was not some element of controversy. This year is no | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
different. Some pupils have already been banned from visiting this one. | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
Northern Ireland has a new world champion. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
And there's a risk of localised flooding in places tonight, and | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
parts of the east could again be the target. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
A seven-year-old girl has been taken into care in Dublin, while it's | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
established if a Roma couple who say she's their daughter, are telling | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
the truth. Following a case of alleged abduction in Greece, the | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Gardai used emergency laws to remove the child from a house in Tallaght | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
in the south west of the city. Shane Harrison has more information. | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Shane, how did Gardai find out about this? | :01:49. | :01:58. | |
Well, because of the Republic's laws, guidelines and rules | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
protecting children, very little is being set on the record. What we do | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
know is that a member of the public contact the gardai on Facebook and | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
alerted them to her concerns that a blonde haired, blue-eyed | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
seven-year-old girl was living with a Roma family. She looked very | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
different from the parents and her siblings. Embers of the child | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
protection unit went to the family to see for themselves. -- members. | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
The family insisted the girl was born in 2006 at a hospital in | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
Dublin. That he was -- she was a member of their family. The gardai | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
were not satisfied with their explanations were with the documents | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
they produce. They sought an emergency health care order to place | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
the child in care. Local people have been giving their reaction about a | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
case that is similar to that of Maria in Greece. It is really too | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
shocking to hear about. All I heard about it was about | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
Greece. I am really shocked. I would be very concerned. I hope there is | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
an innocent explanation. I would hate to think any child was taken or | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
abducted. Until proven guilty, everyone is innocent. You can point | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
the finger all you want, what there is no proof just yet. | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
It is our understanding that even as we speak there is an attempt to get | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
an order extending that emergency childcare for up to 28 days, to | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
allow for DNA tests and to allow for the authorities to see if the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
documents stand up and whether there is an innocent explanation for this. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
Next, a big announcement for unmarried and gay couples who want | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
to adopt. The Health Minister has been told he cannot appeal a court | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
ruling lifting the ban. Marie-Louise Connolly can take us through this. | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
As it stands, you can only adopt if you are married. What has changed? | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
This decision, which brings us in line with the rest of the UK, means | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
that gay and unmarried couples can adopt. Because the ruling comes from | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
the highest court in the land, it means it cannot be challenged. This | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
will be seen as a major victory for same-sex couples and unmarried | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
couples who want to have family. The Supreme Court dismissed the case as | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
the application did not satisfy the criteria of raising an arguable | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
point of law of general public importance. It was immediately | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
dismissed. The Health Minister had wanted the decision to be | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
overturned. It is not now happening. What has been his reaction? The | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
Minister has released a statement. He has said that it is with | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
disappointment he cannot appeal that decision. The minister says he is | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
currently considering the implications for the adoption bill, | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
which is being drafted and which he hopes to introduce to the assembly | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
next year. This is the second major ruling that has gone against Edwin | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Poots in less than a week. Last Friday, the decision came on the | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
issue of gay blood. That decision was described as irrational that gay | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
men would not be able to give blood in Northern Ireland. Among the | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
criticism directed at the Health Minister was the fact that he was | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
allowing his own religious beliefs to cloud his judgement. Something he | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
denied. Just before I came on air, there was a statement from the | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
Alliance Party who said that his position as Health Minister has been | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
seriously undermined eye success of legal failures. | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
-- undermined by successive legal failures. Hundreds of people in the | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Shankill area of West Belfast are taking part in a special remembrance | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
event this evening. The walk takes in five locations, where 25 people | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
were killed in attacks during the Troubles. Tomorrow is the 20th | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
anniversary of the attack at Frizzell's fish shop, where ten | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
people died. Chris Page is on the Shankill Road for us now. | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
Yes, there is a real spirit of community and remembrance here. The | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
ceremony has just started. Several hundred people have gathered. Over | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
40 years ago there was a furniture shop here. A bomb killed four | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
people. This is one of the five locations people will be visiting | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
tonight. 25 people were killed in those places, more than 200 | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
injured. Jackie is one of the organisers. What are people thinking | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
tonight? It is a very sad occasion but we are here to show compassion | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
and solidarity with the families. We will be doing it tomorrow at West | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
Kirk. We are also aware there were four other no warning bombs in which | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
25 people were killed in total and 300 injured. This is to remember all | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
of that. And this particular Balmoral showroom bomb was one of | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
the five no warning bombs that killed people. We're here remember | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
this. We hope that it helps to bring about healing for those who were | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
briefed and for those who were injured, and for this whole | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
community which suffered so much during the Troubles. How important | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
is it for people to remember? Crewe this is a genuine outpouring of | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
community spirit. -- this is a genuine outpouring of community | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
spirit. This should never, ever happen again. That is all from the | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
Shankill for now. We will have a full report on the late News at | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
10:25pm. A secret journal being written by | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
the high profile Sinn Fein official and Republican informer Denis | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
Donaldson shortly before he was shot dead, is at the centre of a dispute | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
between the Gardai and the Police Ombudsman. The journal was found by | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
police in a County Donegal cottage where he was killed. | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
For 20 years, Denis Donaldson led a secret life as an informer for MI5 | :08:36. | :08:46. | |
and the police. In April 2006, his body was found in this remote family | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
cottage in Donegal. He had gone there after being told by the police | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
that the media were going to expose his role as an agent. His family | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
have alleged that PSNI officers who knew about his secret role, may have | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
exposed him as an agent and contributed to his death. They | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
believe a journal written by Denis Donaldson could contain crucial | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
evidence about his killers. The journal was removed from the cottage | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
by gardai. They initially said they would return it to the family but | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
have refused to do so. Now they have refused repeated requests to send it | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
to the police ombudsman here. His investigators want to read it as | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
part of inquiry into allegations that police officers may have | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
contributed to Denis Donaldson's death. A solicitor for the family | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
said they cannot understand why one law-enforcement agency will not | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
share information with another. I think it is ridiculous. It is | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
nonsensical. It is nonsensical that the police ombudsman is only trying | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
to investigate an issue, and it is simply beyond the family's reason as | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
to why the gardai would obstruct it. The honours man has told the BBC | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
that despite the gardai refusal to make the journal available, | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
investigators have discovered new lines of inquiry which are well | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
underway. The gardai have not responded to questions about their | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
decision. Coming up before seven, find out why | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
a shortage of office space could be threatening job creation. | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
It's a big day for Londonderry as the city prepares for what it hopes | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
will be an influx of thousands of art fans. The ?25,000 top Turner | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
Prize will be awarded in December. But first, our arts correspondent | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
reveals the contenders. We have had a preview of the | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
exhibition of the Turner Prize. This used to be the living quarters for | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
the soldiers in the barracks. It is the first time the Turner Prize has | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
been outside England and it is a bit of a coup for the UK city of | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
culture. Sometimes unorthodox, sometimes controversial. First up in | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
Gallery number four, well, we're not allowed to film. It is an empty room | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
with people starting up conversations with the visitors. The | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
other exhibits include large paintings by a Canadian painter. A | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
public spat has caused a four raw here. Visitors can sketch this | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
figure of a naked man. No I'm quite surprised that there have been a | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
couple of schools that have not allowed their children to come and | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
join. It was not a problem when I showed it in Manchester. Maybe there | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
is a pocket of conservatism in this part of the world. How does a | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
veteran of other Turner Prize is in England view this opposition? -- | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
exhibition? It is astonishing. To somebody who has never been to Derry | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
before, this set of buildings look beautiful. The galleries are | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
possibly slightly smaller than at Tate Britain. But there is a real | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
intimacy. Personally I think the show looks great. Tate Britain shows | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
Derry for its first trip outside England. -- chose. We want the | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
Turner Prize to travel. I think it becomes more interesting when it | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
leaves London. I have not got a favourite. I am the chair of the | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
jury! No! This showing was for the media only. It opens proper to all | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
visitors first thing in the morning. The good news is that unlike the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
Turner Prize when it is held in London, this exhibition is free. | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
Unless you want the catalogue at ?3. The winner will be decided in | :13:01. | :13:12. | |
December. It's been reported today that the local construction industry | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
has finally come out of recession after five years. But in another | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
part of the economy, BBC Newsline has been told that there is a crisis | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
situation. A shortage of 'quality' office space in Belfast is so bad it | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
threatens to undermine attempts to win jobs from the UK and overseas. | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
This report from our business correspondent Julian O'Neill. The | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
locked doors lies abandoned office space. Much of what is gathering | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
dust is too old and too small. A report due from commercial agents | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Lisney will say that Belfast lacks a supply of quality offices. Try | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
selling this to an inward investor. Typically a lot of these guys are | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
footloose, they will look at Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
and Belfast. Belfast has a competitive edge in terms of | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
pricing, but in terms of availability we are low in stock. We | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
are close to crisis point. Belfast has 9000 square -- 900,000 square | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
feet of empty office space. Quarter of the stock is known as grade A. -- | :14:19. | :14:27. | |
a quarter of the stock. Desirable space will soon be met. Occupancy | :14:28. | :14:36. | |
deals are close leaving stock low. Some help is in the pipeline. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
Belfast Harbour is developing new offices on the waterfront at a cost | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
of ?10 million. There have been detailed discussions with invest NI | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
on who might fill them. A recent investment conference have given us | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
a lot of positivity in terms of foreign investment coming to Belfast | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
and we have had a number of discussions with clients and we are | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
quite buoyant about the level of demand that we can satisfy. One big | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
factor in this, there has been precious little finance available in | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
recent years for private sector developments. There have been | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
exceptions, like this building down by the law courts. The problem may | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
now need more radical thinking with Invest NI looking to see if Stormont | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
needs to intervene. Still to come on BBC Newsline... The Belfast student | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
setting the gold standard in archery. The only secondary school | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
in Crumlin in County Antrim could close next year, even though there | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
are thousands of school pupils in the area. Crumlin Integrated College | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
has been hit by several years of controversy. But as Mark Simpson | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
reports, the Ulster Unionist Party says the school must be kept open. | :16:00. | :16:11. | |
Pupils leaving Crumlin Integrated College today, unsure whether their | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
school has a future. It is not the first time it has been in the | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
spotlight. Last year some parents and pupils staged a protest, | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
following a highly critical inspectors report, which led to the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
principle being suspended and having to undergo retraining. This protest | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
was over plans for her to return to the school. Also last year, police | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
investigated reports of a death threat against the principle. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Numbers have dropped in recent years at the school and a committee at the | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
education board has recommended its closure. A former school governor | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
says doing that would be a huge mistake. There are plenty of pupils | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
in Crumlin and I would like to see support coming from across the board | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
and keeping the school thriving. The family which lives across the road | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
from the school has two primary schoolchildren and their father is | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
worried about the future. Our alternatives are to go to Lurgan, | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
Lisburn or Belfast. We feel that it has been closed down for people who | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
live here. This is an increasing problem -- population. If the board | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
decides to close the school, the gates would not shut immediately, | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
there would be a two-month public consultation period and the decision | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
would have to be approved at the highest level, by the Education | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
Minister. The future of the school will be discussed at a board meeting | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
next week. Tonight the Board said all options would be considered | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
Now - in a moment we'll meet our latest world champion. But first, | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
Stephen Watson has news on Rory McIlroy. He may not have won much | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
this year and he's been talking about that. It has been | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
disappointing. As his troubled year draws near an end, Rory McIlroy has | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
admitted to being 'undergolfed' in the early part of the season. He's | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
now looking to end on a high, starting with the BMW Masters in | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
Shanghai. He is so popular in the Far East. After his second place | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
finish at the Korean Open, he has now arrived in China, where he | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
remains a huge draw. Nikki Gregg's report includes flash photography. | :18:38. | :18:47. | |
In this part of the world, they cannot get enough of Rory McIlroy. | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
Fans turned out for a golf clinic with him and he was happy to give | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
advice to both the smallest and the tallest, including this seven foot | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
one NBA star. He is rethinking his own approach to the game, admitting | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
that his schedule at the start of the year could have been better | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
planned and has affected his form. I felt like I was under golf to. | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
Especially with a few changes that I had to go through. You identify | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
things in competitive play, more than practice, and it has definitely | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
been a transitional year and a learning year and hopefully I can | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
put all the things I have learned into practice going forward. The | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
next up is a strong finish to an inconsistent year. It is hugely | :19:39. | :19:47. | |
important this week and next week. I want to get myself into the race for | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Dubai and give myself a shot at defending my title in a few weeks. | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
He remains a huge hit in the Far East and he is keen to prove he has | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
rediscovered his rhythm on the golf course. Northern Ireland has a new | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
double world Champion. 17-year-old Patrick Houston, a schoolboy at | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Campbell College in Belfast, won gold at the weekend in both | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
individual and team events at the World Archery Youth Championships in | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
China. Thomas Niblock has been to meet him. Patrick Euston is an Irish | :20:21. | :20:31. | |
champion, a British champion, a European champion and I am the | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
lighted to say now, you are a world champion. Congratulations. It is | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
brilliant. I am pleased with how I have done. You just got back from | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
China. The runway was flooded when we arrived in Belfast and we had to | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
take off again. You made it into school? I came in for an hour and | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
then I went home. What was the experience like in China? I was | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
pleased with how little nerds I felt. When I finished shooting, the | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
raw joy of winning was indescribable -- nerve. What about the | :21:17. | :21:25. | |
Commonwealth Games and the Olympics? There are a series of selection | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
shoots which will be held before the Olympics. There is no reason why I | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
cannot beat the other archers. Is that the ultimate aim? Ever since I | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
started winning competitions, I have that as a view. That has become more | :21:42. | :21:51. | |
realistic. We wish you all the best. Who knows? He could be a possible | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
Olympic champion. And congratulations are also due to | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Rebecca Lennon from Banbridge who won a bronze medal at the world | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
championships. And there's more on those archery successes on BBC Sport | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
online. A good week for Ulster Rugby continued today with news that | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
back-row forward, Chris Henry, has signed a new three year deal that | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
will keep him at Ravenhill until at least June 2017. Meanwhile John Afoa | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
says he hasn't decided where he'll be playing rugby next season. The | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
All Black's contract with Ulster comes to an end in May and there's | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
ongoing speculation that he may be tempted to return to New Zealand. | :22:24. | :22:34. | |
And when to try and look and do things now. I want to get back and | :22:35. | :22:39. | |
playing around Christmas. I will speak to my wife and see what we | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
want to do. Last year I was looking to go home, but I am now hoping to | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
stay on. I am at the end of my contract and looking at everything. | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
At the World Amateur Boxing Championships, Flyweight Paddy | :22:55. | :22:56. | |
Barnes has won again and joins Michael Conlan and Tommy McCarthy in | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
the quarterfinals, which are live behind the BBC Red Button tomorrow | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
from 9am. Through the best and worst of times in the last 40 years, one | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
television programme's been there. BBC Northern Ireland's award winning | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
Spotlight programme is synonymous with investigative journalism. | :23:11. | :23:12. | |
Tonight, as Declan Lawn, reports it marks its 40th anniversary with a | :23:13. | :23:27. | |
special edition. It is the programme that in 1979 asked George Best if he | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
was an alcoholic. I have enough to keep me busy. I will give him a few | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
kids to keep him busy. The programme he asked John White where he got his | :23:45. | :23:56. | |
money. I do not smoke or drink. The flagship current affairs programme | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
Spotlight has been asking hard questions for 40 years. In the | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
beginning, it had a soft focus. As the Troubles raged, the first | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
editions of the programme looked at local government, traffic and even | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
the job of a lollipop man. By the late 1970s, a new breed of reporter | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
felt it was time for a change. Harmony people have you killed? The | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
more digging kind of stuff, the investigative work was not really | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
being done. We saw it as an opportunity to find things out. By | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
the 1980s, at macro spotlight had taken shape. Since then it has | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
delivered hard-hitting investigations. The concerns of MPs | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
that the should be an independent enquiry into the killings are shared | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
by people in Japan often. Spotlight can reveal that Iris Robinson | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
received a total of ?50,000 by two well-known property developers that | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
summer in 2008. These days, there are still plenty of questions left | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
to ask in Northern Ireland. As the saying goes, life begins at 40. And | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
you can see that special programme, Spotlight at 40, here on BBC One at | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
10.35 after our late summary. The weather is next. | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
For some parts tonight, it is a rerun of last night. More heavy | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
rain. We had a respite today, showers moved in, it lifted | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
temperatures to 17 degrees in places, but we had some decent | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
spells of sunshine between those showers and we had to cast our eyes | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
up went to see what is coming our way. This rain in the Republic of | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
Ireland is edging eastwards. This evening sees the spells and a few | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
showers, through the night we get more prolonged spells of rain, some | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
of it could be quite thundery and again it looks as though parts of | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
Antrim, and County Down part in the firing line. Not quite so wet in the | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
West, and mild night as well. Given that we had some flooding in the | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
East last night, the ground is pretty sodden and given more rain | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
tonight, that increases the risk of localised flooding and The Met | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
office has issued a warning and could be issues in these parts for | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
the rush hour tomorrow. A different day tomorrow, a cooler winds picking | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
up from the West, it will drive the rain out of the way and that will be | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
followed by bright spells and showers. It will brighten up with | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
some sunshine quickly tomorrow morning, but those showers will | :26:52. | :26:59. | |
start to feed him on the breeze. There will probably be more frequent | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
showers in County Tyrone and on the north coast. Fewer showers towards | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
the east and that those were the best of the sunshine will be. | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
Temperatures will be well down on today. Into tomorrow evening, | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
showers will start to ease away, the breeze will ease down tomorrow | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
night, it will end up dry and clear. It will be a chilly night. After a | :27:22. | :27:30. | |
chilly start, Thursday May be the best day, at bright day, lighter | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
winds. For Friday, low pressure is on the way. Our late summary is at | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
10.25. You can also keep in contact with us via Facebook and Twitter. | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
