:00:00. > :00:13.That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's
:00:14. > :00:20.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: A father and uncle are
:00:21. > :00:23.found guilty of a series of sex offences against two children.
:00:24. > :00:34.I'm live in Coleraine with the latest.

:00:58. > :01:00.-- neuroma. As the Ulster captain Johann Muller confirms he's hanging

:01:08. > :01:14.of wet and windy weather is just waiting to pounce.
:01:15. > :01:17.A horrific sex abuse case has ended at Coleraine Crown Court with two
:01:18. > :01:24.brothers both convicted of a string of offences. The victims were the
:01:25. > :01:28.son and daughter of one of the men. The trial came about after they went
:01:29. > :01:32.to the police in 2012 and said they'd been subjected to years of
:01:33. > :01:37.abuse as children. For legal reasons, we cannot tell you the
:01:38. > :01:49.names of those convicted. David Maxwell has been following the
:01:50. > :01:51.trial. Yes, the jury here at Coleraine Crown Court have been
:01:52. > :01:55.deliberating for the best part of two days after a three-week trial,
:01:56. > :01:59.but by mid-afternoon they reached majority verdicts in most of the
:02:00. > :02:04.charges, which included rape. You may find some of the details
:02:05. > :02:07.distressing. This trial heard stories of
:02:08. > :02:11.unimaginable abuse against two children. At one point, the female
:02:12. > :02:14.victim told the court she was raped by men during drunken parties as
:02:15. > :02:17.they watched pornography. Her brother told the court he too was
:02:18. > :02:21.regularly sexually assaulted and threatened that if he told anyone,
:02:22. > :02:24.the same would be done to a younger brother. The jury also heard of how
:02:25. > :02:28.both children were punched and had cigarettes stubbed out on their
:02:29. > :02:31.bodies by those who were supposed to love them. This abuse went on for
:02:32. > :02:41.years during the 1990s, stopping only when contact with their father
:02:42. > :02:44.was completely severed in 1997. The daughter made initial complaints to
:02:45. > :02:47.police and social services the following year, but the full horror
:02:48. > :02:51.of what had happened wasn't revealed until both children made statements
:02:52. > :02:54.to the authorities in May 2012. 15 years on, there was little physical
:02:55. > :02:58.evidence which could be called upon in this trial. No forensic or DNA
:02:59. > :03:02.testing could be carried out. And a medical examination of the daughter
:03:03. > :03:07.who said she was raped 1000 times proved inconclusive. But the jury in
:03:08. > :03:12.this trial did hear from both those who made the claims of abuse and all
:03:13. > :03:15.of the accused. Today they decided the victims were telling the truth
:03:16. > :03:19.about the cruelty they suffered growing up with a father and uncle
:03:20. > :03:26.who would use them for their own sexual gratification. They found the
:03:27. > :03:35.father guilty of 31 offences in total and the uncle guilty of seven
:03:36. > :03:43.charges. The day before this trial began, both of these men pleaded
:03:44. > :03:48.guilty to a series of offences against their own sister in the
:03:49. > :03:51.1970s and 1980s. . All three of the victims were in court today. Two of
:03:52. > :03:55.them wept as the verdict was delivered. Jurors were told that due
:03:56. > :04:01.to the graphic nature of this trial they need never serve on a jury
:04:02. > :04:03.panel again. Both of the men convicted today will be sentenced
:04:04. > :04:06.next month. You're watching BBC Newsline. Coming

:04:25. > :04:26.was 90 years old. She had a varied career, working alongside
:04:27. > :04:38.world-famous stars like Bob Hope and Josef Locke. Mervyn Jess's report
:04:39. > :04:44.starts with Leila herself. Maybe you could tell us what shape is the
:04:45. > :04:56.world in? My mammy says a hell of a shape. That is the broad Belfast
:04:57. > :04:59.accent. Leila Webster was one of Northern Ireland's best known and
:05:00. > :05:04.most admired entertainers. She was a singer, an actress and a comedienne.
:05:05. > :05:08.He says I would love to run my fingers through your hair. I said
:05:09. > :05:12.just said there and I will throw it over to you. Dennison Mahood was a
:05:13. > :05:15.manager in the Arts Theatre in Belfast when Leila was treading the
:05:16. > :05:20.boards. The likes of Liam Neeson, giving Nesbitt, Dan Gordon, I used
:05:21. > :05:24.to watch them at the side of the stage and they would watch her
:05:25. > :05:28.timing and they said they learned a lot from her timing. It was superb.
:05:29. > :05:30.Born in Rutland Street in the Lower Ormeau, she went on to appear
:05:31. > :05:38.alongside -- she had a difficult childhood.
:05:39. > :05:43.She suffered a nervous breakdown and suffered from agoraphobia which
:05:44. > :05:49.meant she wouldn't leave the house. One day her father arrived with the
:05:50. > :05:55.piano and an entertainer was born who would go one to appear with
:05:56. > :06:01.stars like Josef Locke and Bob Hope. The night I worked with Bob Hope.
:06:02. > :06:05.Bob Hope was one of the biggest stars on the planet and he turned up
:06:06. > :06:10.at the Empire and she was on the same bill so she knocked on his
:06:11. > :06:16.dressing room door. He opened it and she didn't know what to save because
:06:17. > :06:22.she knew what he was thinking. We were commenting on the staff or
:06:23. > :06:28.Leila in Glen Gall Street, like the Holywood walk of Fame, there is
:06:29. > :06:32.Leila. That's a lovely coat you have on. Is it hard to keep clean? Leila
:06:33. > :06:43.Webster died this morning, aged 90. Leila Webster, described today as
:06:44. > :06:46.the last of the great showgirls. A 63-year-old man has died in a road
:06:47. > :06:49.crash near Aughnacloy. He was walking on Monaghan Road at about
:06:50. > :06:53.10:30am this morning when he was hit by a car. A 51-year-old man has been
:06:54. > :06:56.arrested in connection with the incident. The police have appealed
:06:57. > :06:59.for witnesses to the collision to contact them. Members of the
:07:00. > :07:02.Policing Board have voted to formally reject a plan by the
:07:03. > :07:06.Justice Minister to introduce new rules for the appointment of a new
:07:07. > :07:10.Chief Constable. David Ford had sparked a political row when he said
:07:11. > :07:15.he wanted to change the rules shortly after Matt Baggott announced
:07:16. > :07:21.his intention to retire. Our home affairs correspondent Vincent
:07:22. > :07:27.Kearney reports. There were smiles and best wishes for a Matt Baggott
:07:28. > :07:30.at the first meeting of the Policing Board since he announced his
:07:31. > :07:37.intention to retire. Then a reminder he is not yet yesterday's man. You
:07:38. > :07:41.haven't left yet and there is still work to be done and a lot of
:07:42. > :07:48.discussions to be had in the coming weeks. The process to replace them
:07:49. > :07:52.will start next month. Justice Minister David Ford has said he
:07:53. > :07:57.planned to change the rules and remove a requirement for applicants
:07:58. > :08:01.to have served at least two years as an Assistant Chief Constable outside
:08:02. > :08:05.Northern Ireland. The board today agreed to reject that proposal and
:08:06. > :08:10.told the minister it intends to use the existing rules for this process.
:08:11. > :08:16.That means Assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton, who was not up to
:08:17. > :08:20.date's meeting, is the only senior PSNI officer who can apply. It is
:08:21. > :08:26.understood the board would like the process to be complete by June.
:08:27. > :08:30.Deputy Chief Constable Judith Gillespie will also retire next
:08:31. > :08:34.month. Sitting beside her today or two contenders for her job,
:08:35. > :08:39.assistant chief constables Alistair Fenley and will care. Just two seats
:08:40. > :08:47.away, another possible runner, Drew Harris. The First and Deputy First
:08:48. > :08:51.Ministers told David Ford they will make the final decision on proposed
:08:52. > :08:56.changes to the rules for pointing the next Chief Constable. They have
:08:57. > :09:00.now written to him saying they intend sticking to the current rules
:09:01. > :09:06.which means any change is very unlikely.
:09:07. > :09:09.And an update on a story we brought you last month on prison service
:09:10. > :09:13.pay. Staff who joined after 2002 are to get a special payment because of
:09:14. > :09:16.the threat from dissident republicans. The move comes in the
:09:17. > :09:19.week that a man appeared in court charged with killing David Black,
:09:20. > :09:22.the first prison officer to be murdered by paramilitaries in nearly
:09:23. > :09:25.20 years. The Justice Minister says the required ?1.6 million for the
:09:26. > :09:31.security payments have been found in the current budget.
:09:32. > :09:33.A leading official in the GAA says the organisation could have done
:09:34. > :09:36.better in its handling of negotiations with residents opposed
:09:37. > :09:42.to the redevelopment of Casement Park in West Belfast. And he has
:09:43. > :09:45.told the BBC he takes responsibility. It's understood the
:09:46. > :09:48.association is considering offering to buy the homes of some people
:09:49. > :09:55.living next to the ?75 million project. With this exclusive report,
:09:56. > :10:01.here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon. The game is up for
:10:02. > :10:05.the old Casement Park, closed now to all but workmen. And this will be
:10:06. > :10:11.the new Casement Park. ?75 million, 38,000 seats. But there's a problem.
:10:12. > :10:15.Residents whose homes skirt the proposed arena say they've been
:10:16. > :10:17.overlooked. Anger spilled over when two Executive ministers came to
:10:18. > :10:22.announce planning permission had been granted. This woman has invited
:10:23. > :10:27.Planning Minister Mark H Durkan to visit her home. She fears the rear
:10:28. > :10:34.extension used by her son, who has walking difficulties, will lose all
:10:35. > :10:41.its natural light. We are not a statistic. This is our life. Our son
:10:42. > :10:46.is in this room quite a bit and we want him to come but we have had no
:10:47. > :10:49.answer. Now, for the first time, the GAA has said it wished it had
:10:50. > :10:53.handled the concerns in a different way. I would pull my hands up and
:10:54. > :10:58.say perhaps there are things we could've done better in terms of
:10:59. > :11:03.engaging the residents. I led that process but I assure everyone the G8
:11:04. > :11:10.have been transparent and open in everything we have done. We have
:11:11. > :11:17.knocked on 300 daughters and had a three-week consultation process. We
:11:18. > :11:17.went above and beyond what we have to do in the consultation process.
:11:18. > :11:22.It is a matter of regret we find to do in the consultation process.
:11:23. > :11:27.ourselves in the situation where we have local GAA members who are
:11:28. > :11:35.opposed to this project and I want them to discuss this with us and we
:11:36. > :11:38.will alleviate their concerns. I understand the GAA is currently
:11:39. > :11:41.rethinking its strategy to the point where it might offer to buy some of
:11:42. > :11:48.the residents' houses. This is one of the homes worst affected. So
:11:49. > :11:52.would they sell? We have to think about it. I do not think we can
:11:53. > :11:56.continue living here with a development that scale in the side
:11:57. > :11:59.garden. The GAA wants to avoid the threat of legal action, which could
:12:00. > :12:05.endanger its 2016 target date. And you can see more on that story
:12:06. > :12:09.on The View tonight at 10:35pm just after our late BBC Newsline
:12:10. > :12:13.bulletin. Still ahead on the programme before 7pm: Why the only
:12:14. > :12:15.way is up for a local motorcyclist who's signed for a new team in the
:12:16. > :12:25.World Superbike series. A leading business organisation says
:12:26. > :12:28.the Stormont Executive is failing on one of its key economic policies -
:12:29. > :12:35.helping more firms export goods overseas. It's calling for an urgent
:12:36. > :12:42.action plan, as our business correspondent Julian O'Neill
:12:43. > :12:47.reports. EMS Recycle might be based in Tyrone, but it sells waste
:12:48. > :12:51.treatment products to the world. Recently, Nigeria was added to its
:12:52. > :13:01.customer list. Business abroad has created jobs at home. Any company
:13:02. > :13:08.that has a proven product entering the world market should not depend
:13:09. > :13:12.on the European market. Stormont want more firms to think big. Our
:13:13. > :13:15.exports to the eurozone have been falling. New territory has been
:13:16. > :13:19.explored like the Middle East and India. But overall, fewer companies
:13:20. > :13:23.are exporting than two years ago, and Stormont's aim to increase
:13:24. > :13:33.exports by 20% by 2015 is proving a huge struggle. Mark Nodder is boss
:13:34. > :13:40.of export growth is one of the main
:13:41. > :13:47.cornerstones of the economic recovery plan, but a question has
:13:48. > :13:53.been raised about whether the economic strategy is matching
:13:54. > :13:56.expectations. Mark Nodder is president of the Chamber of
:13:57. > :14:01.Commerce. He says an urgent action plan is needed and claimed the
:14:02. > :14:06.Republic gave its firms better help. Does he detect any alarm at missing
:14:07. > :14:14.targets? Has anybody pushed the red button in the Executive? I am not
:14:15. > :14:18.hearing it if they have. The model may be South, that is where we
:14:19. > :14:24.should look first. The Economy Minister disagrees. I am looking
:14:25. > :14:28.forward to having a dialogue with the Chamber of Commerce about where
:14:29. > :14:33.we can deal with issues together. I have worked with them and I am
:14:34. > :14:39.surprised they went to the committee before it they came to me. Just 3%
:14:40. > :14:42.of all local firms fly the flag in overseas markets. A debate has now
:14:43. > :14:47.been opened on how to meet the challenge.
:14:48. > :14:50.Danske Bank has made a profit in Northern Ireland this year. It's the
:14:51. > :14:55.first time that's happened since the financial crash in 2008. The pre-tax
:14:56. > :14:59.profit was nearly ?11.5 million. The bank had to pay off nearly ?50
:15:00. > :15:06.million worth of bad debt - a lot less than in previous years. I think
:15:07. > :15:09.we made some fundamentally good decisions earlier on in the cycle
:15:10. > :15:13.about recognising the level of bad debt we had and trying to provide
:15:14. > :15:17.for it as early as possible, but also the fact there is no more bad
:15:18. > :15:19.news emerging, and that is driven by the overall economic situation
:15:20. > :15:23.settling down and now starting to improve.
:15:24. > :15:26.The Sinn Fein President says Peter Robinson has a choice over how he
:15:27. > :15:29.conducts himself as First Minister. The DUP have rejected criticism from
:15:30. > :15:34.Martin McGuinness that the First Minister is dancing to the tune of
:15:35. > :15:45.loyalist extremists. Gerry Adams says his party colleague was
:15:46. > :15:49.speaking the truth. For a Unionist leader to step into a dispensation
:15:50. > :15:56.based on equality, there is a choice to be made, whether you embrace that
:15:57. > :16:02.and go forward or whether you try to minimise it, dilutive, contract that
:16:03. > :16:07.and unfortunately, sometimes the most extreme elements, the most
:16:08. > :16:11.negative and fundamentalist elements set the agenda. And you can hear
:16:12. > :16:14.more of that interview with Gerry Adams tomorrow on Inside Politics on
:16:15. > :16:18.BBC Radio Ulster tomorrow evening. Most children here are educated with
:16:19. > :16:21.pupils of their own religion, but a move to build schools which can be
:16:22. > :16:28.shared by Catholics and Protestants is capturing the imagination of
:16:29. > :16:31.some. The schools would remain separate but occupy the same
:16:32. > :16:34.building. That would save money. The question is, would anyone agree to
:16:35. > :16:37.it? As our education correspondent, Maggie Taggart reports, Scotland has
:16:38. > :16:50.been creating shared campuses for more than a decade. Glasgow has a
:16:51. > :16:55.history of religious conflict. As in Northern Ireland, Catholics and
:16:56. > :17:00.Protestants don't always live in harmony but in the last ten years 35
:17:01. > :17:06.shared education campuses have grown up, for in Glasgow. Schools share
:17:07. > :17:11.the same buildings and use the same front door but separate into their
:17:12. > :17:17.own sections. They keep their own identity and classrooms at play, eat
:17:18. > :17:23.and do project together. The children can come and learn about
:17:24. > :17:26.the Catholic religion and lots of children from other faiths attend
:17:27. > :17:31.Saracen school and can enjoy lessons together so retain autonomy as an
:17:32. > :17:37.independent school but they can learn a lot from each other by being
:17:38. > :17:41.on a shared campus. The printable of the school in this campus would like
:17:42. > :17:46.to do further. Total integration would be the way forward if we could
:17:47. > :17:51.find a way of doing that, that would be my ideal. I am sure there would
:17:52. > :17:58.be some concerns about that but I think through negotiation and
:17:59. > :18:02.discuss and it is not impossible. This playground is used jointly by
:18:03. > :18:06.the Catholic and nondenominational schools but it is not left to them
:18:07. > :18:13.to decide whether to mix or play together, appointed by the pupils in
:18:14. > :18:18.Courage them to play together. Rivalry between Celtic and Rangers
:18:19. > :18:24.has sparked violence but Celtic has sponsored interdenominational work
:18:25. > :18:34.here. I went to a nomination school myself, -- eight nondenominational
:18:35. > :18:40.school, and I don't want my boy growing up the same way. Pupils
:18:41. > :18:46.don't like the thought of children growing up separately. They wouldn't
:18:47. > :18:52.really get enough. There would be fights over what they believe in.
:18:53. > :18:57.The Catholic Church would prefer freestanding faith schools but a
:18:58. > :19:02.shortage of money has left no other option if it wants new schools with
:19:03. > :19:07.facilities. We live with our neighbours, we want to get on with
:19:08. > :19:13.them but we don't want to live in the same house. As schools consider
:19:14. > :19:19.shared campuses here, the advice from parents is to take it slowly.
:19:20. > :19:24.We spent two years working together as parents and meeting together to
:19:25. > :19:29.build a relationship with each other to realise we are all singing from
:19:30. > :19:33.the same hymn sheet. Schools in Northern Ireland can apply for
:19:34. > :19:38.shared buildings as long as they have already begun cross committee
:19:39. > :19:41.links. -- cross-community links. A school
:19:42. > :19:44.football team in Upperlands might have a real advantage in its next
:19:45. > :19:47.match. Ampertaine Primary has adopted the English Premiership side
:19:48. > :19:50.Aston Villa. And today the professional team, which also wears
:19:51. > :20:00.claret and blue, sent over some of its coaches. It started as an idea
:20:01. > :20:06.by teachers to use football to help educate children, working on things
:20:07. > :20:11.like goal-scoring statistics for maths and nationalities for
:20:12. > :20:17.geography. It is getting to know more about an English football club
:20:18. > :20:21.in the top four, we have brought a few things to show them about the
:20:22. > :20:24.history of Aston Villa. The youngsters were treated to a video
:20:25. > :20:35.message by players and gifts from the club. My favourite part of today
:20:36. > :20:41.was seeing Jeff outside. I like call coaching us and I really like the
:20:42. > :20:44.games. Come what May for a villa in the league this season, they can
:20:45. > :20:51.count on support from these new fans.
:20:52. > :20:55.Maybe Aston Villa picked up some hints as well. Ulster's rugby
:20:56. > :21:00.captain is to retire as the end of this season. But Ireland's captain
:21:01. > :21:04.is back to face Wales. Gavin Andrews is here with the sport.
:21:05. > :21:08.At 34, Johann Muller had been hinting strongly that he might be
:21:09. > :21:10.about to call time on his illustrious career. Today came
:21:11. > :21:21.confirmation that he's set to return to to South Africa and the family
:21:22. > :21:25.farm. He'll be missed. But good news for the Irish captain. Another big
:21:26. > :21:29.man. Paul O'Connell, who's also 34, shows no sign of slowing up. He's
:21:30. > :21:31.back from illness to captain Ireland against Wales in this Saturdays six
:21:32. > :21:41.nations grudge Andrew Trimble train this morning.
:21:42. > :21:44.He started against Scotland last weekend and has been reworked with a
:21:45. > :21:52.starting place this weekend against Wales. They are a big target for us
:21:53. > :21:55.and some big opportunities for us, getting to and Viva and then
:21:56. > :22:00.hopefully doing something similar, taking through phases putting them
:22:01. > :22:06.under pressure but just making sure we put in a good performance. Johann
:22:07. > :22:13.Muller has announced he will retire at the end of the season so how big
:22:14. > :22:17.a whole will he leave at Ravenhill? He has been important for us the
:22:18. > :22:22.last few years. He is a leader on the pitch but also off-the-peg, and
:22:23. > :22:29.a lot of the boys will miss him. He is good for some older fellas like
:22:30. > :22:35.myself and also younger guys coming through, he is important for their
:22:36. > :22:40.allotment. Paul O'Connell has recovered from a chest infection and
:22:41. > :22:43.starts. Gordon D'Arcy regained his place at inside centre to continue
:22:44. > :22:51.the longest serving inside partnership in test rugby.
:22:52. > :22:55.Although the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics doesn't take place
:22:56. > :22:57.until tomorrow, local girl Amy Fuller was in action today. The
:22:58. > :23:01.22-year-old from Bangor missed out on an automatic place in Sunday's
:23:02. > :23:05.final of the snowboard slopestyle in Sochi. But she'll have a second
:23:06. > :23:13.opportunity to qualify for the final over the weekend. There she goes.
:23:14. > :23:16.Good luck to her. From the back roads around
:23:17. > :23:19.Toomebridge, to the majesty of Monaco, it seems the only way is up
:23:20. > :23:23.for Northern Ireland Motorcyclist Eugene Laverty. And to the new
:23:24. > :23:27.surroundings he can now add a new team. He's switched from Aprilia to
:23:28. > :23:30.Suzuki to try and become the first rider from here to win a World
:23:31. > :23:36.Championship since the late Joey Dunlop back in 1986. We are normally
:23:37. > :23:42.used to seeing Eugene Laverty travel much faster on two wheels, but this
:23:43. > :23:50.is perfect preparation for him in an ideal location. Monaco has been his
:23:51. > :23:56.base for the last year. Where he often trained alongside professional
:23:57. > :24:01.cyclists and Olympic champions. I fell in love with the place. There
:24:02. > :24:06.are a lot of sports guys here who just enjoy themselves. It is a
:24:07. > :24:13.different Monaco to what I have known from TV, so I like it here.
:24:14. > :24:23.You have roads, cycling from France into Italy is brewing. -- is
:24:24. > :24:30.brilliant. He flew to Italy last week that back to England last
:24:31. > :24:35.week. Trying to go one better than last season when he was just kept to
:24:36. > :24:43.the title. Laverty does the double here. We had too many non-finishers
:24:44. > :24:48.and they were costly but the second half couldn't have been better. We
:24:49. > :24:55.have nine victories and have been fighting to achieve for a few years
:24:56. > :25:00.now, world champion once in Supersport and twice in Superbike,
:25:01. > :25:07.so I would love to emulate jewellery and bring the trophy home. For now
:25:08. > :25:12.Monaco is home alongside his fiancee pepper, but if he wins this year, he
:25:13. > :25:19.will be back to see his family in Toomebridge. We had some respite
:25:20. > :25:24.from the rain and wind today but watch out, we are in for another
:25:25. > :25:27.batch of horrible weather. What is the forecast?
:25:28. > :25:31.batch of horrible weather. What is the There are lots of other words
:25:32. > :25:35.you could use that I won't use them on live television. I heard the
:25:36. > :25:42.words bring on Twitter a few times today. Hopefully that won't be the
:25:43. > :25:46.kiss of death but it was nice to see sunshine to date across parts of the
:25:47. > :25:51.Republic and Northern Ireland. A couple of showers working their way
:25:52. > :25:55.in so a few showers tonight but with quite clear skies we will see chilly
:25:56. > :26:00.temperatures and were showers fall on those cold surfaces it will mean
:26:01. > :26:05.a risk of ice tomorrow morning. A cold start tomorrow but we will see
:26:06. > :26:12.sunshine. Things go downhill tomorrow night but a good part of
:26:13. > :26:18.the day looks OK. To begin you may have to scrape car windscreens
:26:19. > :26:21.tomorrow. There may be fog around as well but up in Antrim and towards
:26:22. > :26:25.the north coast and parts of Londonderry and to Ron, but any
:26:26. > :26:31.showers around early tomorrow will not be there for the day. They will
:26:32. > :26:35.move away and a large part of the date will be dry with sunshine. Sun
:26:36. > :26:41.will start to fade later and it will turn chilly as the breeze picks up.
:26:42. > :26:46.The reason is another area of low pressure in the Atlantic. That will
:26:47. > :26:51.bring rain tomorrow night. It will stay with us through the weekend and
:26:52. > :26:55.influence whether across Britain and Ireland, so here comes the rain
:26:56. > :27:01.tomorrow night. Five or six hours, some of it heavy, strong if not gale
:27:02. > :27:07.force winds and a high tide during the night, but if you are going to
:27:08. > :27:12.Ravenhill tomorrow it will start to write and hopefully the rain will
:27:13. > :27:18.hold off until most people get home. For Saturday's rugby down in Dublin,
:27:19. > :27:22.it is a different date altogether. There will be heavy rain and
:27:23. > :27:27.showers, and for most of us the weekend will bring wet weather. It
:27:28. > :27:33.may start dry on Saturday but it may get wet throughout the day, bubbly
:27:34. > :27:39.Sunday the better of the two days. There are lots of comments paying
:27:40. > :27:41.tribute to leader Webster on our Facebook page. BBC Newsline is also
:27:42. > :27:44.on Twitter. -- to Leila Webster.
