This is BBC Newsline. The headlines this Monday evening: Dissident

:00:00.:00:19.

Republicans claim newly acquired Semtex was used in a mortar bomb

:00:20.:00:25.

attack at the weekend. There's condemnation of racists who petrol

:00:26.:00:35.

bombed this home. Whoever is responsible, this does no cause any

:00:36.:00:41.

good. Going green around the globe as St Patrick's Day is celebrated

:00:42.:00:45.

home and away. And there are celebrations for the Ireland Rugby

:00:46.:00:48.

and cricket teams - plus we have all the winners from today's schools

:00:49.:00:52.

finals. The dry spell is coming to an end with more unsettled weather

:00:53.:00:56.

heading this way. I'll have the details shortly.

:00:57.:01:02.

Dissident Republicans claim to have used newly acquired Semtex in a bomb

:01:03.:01:08.

attack on a police Land Rover in west Belfast on Friday night. A

:01:09.:01:11.

family escaped injury when their car was hit by debris from the

:01:12.:01:14.

explosion. The police have appealed for information about the attack,

:01:15.:01:17.

believed to have been carried out by the group calling itself the IRA,

:01:18.:01:20.

which killed prison officer David Black in November 2012. Our Home

:01:21.:01:23.

Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney has this exclusive report.

:01:24.:01:35.

Damaged masonry and mangled metal are the only evidence of what

:01:36.:01:40.

happened here four days ago. A mortar bomb was fired from a tube as

:01:41.:01:51.

a police Land Rover drove along the Falls Road. Scorch marks suggest the

:01:52.:01:56.

device was fired from a tube attached to these railings. It may

:01:57.:02:01.

not have fired have intended. Dissident Republicans say the device

:02:02.:02:10.

contained Semtex. They said both were newly-acquired, in other words

:02:11.:02:15.

not from old supplies under the control of Provisional IRA. If that

:02:16.:02:20.

is true it will be of huge concern to the police and Security Services.

:02:21.:02:24.

The police have said all weapons and explosives used by dissident

:02:25.:02:29.

Republicans were prooefs youly -- previously controlled by the IRA.

:02:30.:02:40.

They included these weapons used in the killing of Ronan Kerr. The find

:02:41.:02:47.

included a quality of Semtex, but it was very years old. There is no way

:02:48.:02:56.

to verify the claim. If it did acquire newly-acquired Semtex it

:02:57.:02:59.

will be the first evidence that dissidents have managed to secure a

:03:00.:03:05.

fresh supply. Whatever the nature of the device one family had a lucky

:03:06.:03:10.

escape after their car was hit by debris. Therm coming -- they were

:03:11.:03:16.

coming home from a party. I thought in up with just click I could lose

:03:17.:03:21.

my life. It is not fair, because they might hurt a civilian or even

:03:22.:03:29.

the police was guarding us. It won't happen again. A west Belfast MP

:03:30.:03:33.

criticised those responsible for the attack and the time it took the

:03:34.:03:37.

police to respond. He said it was around an hour and a half before

:03:38.:03:43.

police officers carried out a search. I have been on the phone to

:03:44.:03:49.

the PSNI from the moment I heard the explosion. The PSNI have yet to

:03:50.:03:54.

appear on the scene, which is unacceptable. The ambulance have

:03:55.:03:57.

arrived and you have arrived. There is a mar key down the road with 500

:03:58.:04:04.

people in. But the PSNI have not arrived. I think that is

:04:05.:04:08.

unacceptable. The police say it was only through good fortune that

:04:09.:04:14.

officers or civilians were not injured or killed. A pipebomb's been

:04:15.:04:21.

defused in south Belfast. Police and army bomb officers discovered what

:04:22.:04:24.

they described as a crude but viable device at Donegall Avenue. And the

:04:25.:04:28.

Waterworks Park in the north of the city was closed at the Cliftonville

:04:29.:04:31.

Road following the discovery of a suspicious object this morning. A

:04:32.:04:35.

number of homes were evacuated while army technical officers carried out

:04:36.:04:38.

a controlled explosion. Police have since declared it a hoax. A racist

:04:39.:04:46.

motive is thought to be behind a petrol bomb attack on a car in

:04:47.:04:49.

Newtownabbey last night. It happened in Ballyronan Park in Rathcoole.The

:04:50.:04:52.

car was destroyed in the fire. Eunan McConville reports. Still visible

:04:53.:05:00.

today, the foam used to douse the flames that engulfed the car parked

:05:01.:05:04.

on this driveway. It is understood the people in the house were foreign

:05:05.:05:09.

national, but no one was there today. The police say that the

:05:10.:05:13.

attack happened at around 9.30 last night. They received a report that

:05:14.:05:19.

the car was on fire. It is dreadful. We can't get by these problems. They

:05:20.:05:24.

just keep reoccurring. You wonder when it is going to end. But the

:05:25.:05:28.

police are not giving a lot away on this. And neither are the people who

:05:29.:05:34.

live here. So there is an element of fear involved. It is believed the

:05:35.:05:38.

windows of car were broken before it was set alight. The house was also

:05:39.:05:45.

attacked with the windows being smashed. The exact circumstances

:05:46.:05:50.

behind the attack remain unclear and people who I have spoke to said they

:05:51.:05:54.

didn't see anything. One person heard something, but knows nothing

:05:55.:06:00.

about the attack. But the police are treating it as a hate crime. There

:06:01.:06:07.

has been some minor trouble in Belfast City Centre. Youths

:06:08.:06:10.

confronted police and a number for bottles were thrown. The police

:06:11.:06:13.

marshalled the youths - many draped in the tricolour - around city

:06:14.:06:16.

centre locations like Castle Street and Cornmarket. The crowd eventually

:06:17.:06:22.

dispersed. Last week we brought you the story of the families worried

:06:23.:06:26.

about the standards of care for eating disorders here. A man whose

:06:27.:06:30.

daughter is now being treated at a specialist unit in London told us in

:06:31.:06:33.

his view staff here lack the expertise to treat the complex

:06:34.:06:37.

condition. And another patient told us she feels her condition has

:06:38.:06:45.

worsened since she had treatment. They changed my medication and I had

:06:46.:06:53.

ECT for six weeks, that was 12 sessions. And most days were I was

:06:54.:06:59.

just sat on the bed or walked around the ward. Just there wasn't really

:07:00.:07:09.

much to do. Other aspects of the regime that quite soon seemed to be

:07:10.:07:14.

peculiar were thing like a complete ban on any kind of exercise, any

:07:15.:07:20.

kind of fresh air, any kind of home visit. She was kept inside for two

:07:21.:07:26.

or three months, without breathing fresh air, except when she was taken

:07:27.:07:32.

to a different hospital. Well following the broadcast the British

:07:33.:07:35.

Psychological Society has called for a rethink in how we care for

:07:36.:07:38.

patients with eating disorders. Their local chair Dr Ciaran Shannon

:07:39.:07:41.

is with us now. Are you surprised by the experience of these families?

:07:42.:07:46.

Well, I think the board and the trust had invested heavily in the

:07:47.:07:51.

last number of years in the creation of specialist eating disorder

:07:52.:07:56.

services. That has improved people's care, I have no doubt about it.

:07:57.:08:03.

Staff in those services are highly committed staff and often struggle,

:08:04.:08:09.

with mental health being the Cinderella of the health service. Of

:08:10.:08:13.

all of those, eating disorder services set up in Northern Ireland,

:08:14.:08:19.

not a single one contains a clinical psychologist. That is shocking. How

:08:20.:08:24.

is that different from the rest of the UK? 21st Century mental health

:08:25.:08:32.

care should be a comprehensive team delivering a comprehensive range of

:08:33.:08:39.

interventions, psyche Colling -- psychology and education and have a

:08:40.:08:46.

multidisciplinary team. There is no clinical psychologist in Northern

:08:47.:08:50.

Ireland. What could you do that psychiatrists are not doing? One of

:08:51.:08:56.

the important skills of a sky Coll gist -- psychologist, we have eight

:08:57.:09:02.

years it takes to become a psychologist. We have a broad range

:09:03.:09:08.

of treatments for individuals, individual treatments for

:09:09.:09:12.

individual. That is important if the individual has complex needs and a

:09:13.:09:15.

range of things going on for them. Is there any evidence to suggest

:09:16.:09:19.

that you get better outcomes than say a psychiatrist? The main focus

:09:20.:09:25.

of an eating disorder team should be on psychological interventions. That

:09:26.:09:30.

team should include a clinical psychologist. Why does it not in

:09:31.:09:34.

Northern Ireland? I think mental health is such an important area in

:09:35.:09:39.

Northern Ireland. We have high levels of mental illness. It is the

:09:40.:09:44.

legacy of the Troubles and high deprivation. We are again the

:09:45.:09:49.

Cinderella of those services. Are you lobbying hard enough to say to

:09:50.:09:53.

the National Health Service we need the funding? I'm saying it tonight.

:09:54.:09:57.

We have said it again and again. We need more funding in member Tall --

:09:58.:10:04.

mental health and clinical psychologists in specialist teams.

:10:05.:10:09.

Thank you. You're watching BBC Newsline. Still to come on the

:10:10.:10:13.

programme: A carnival of colour as thousands turn out to St Patrick's

:10:14.:10:17.

Day. Stay with us for all the pictures from parades across

:10:18.:10:23.

Northern Ireland. The local rugby world has been celebrating Ireland's

:10:24.:10:28.

Six Nations title success. We'll be hearing from the players and coach

:10:29.:10:31.

Joe Schmidt shortly, but first a taste of how the win has been

:10:32.:10:35.

greeted in rugby clubs here. BBC Newsline's Martin Cassidy was there

:10:36.:10:38.

to savour the atmosphere and tension of Saturday's big match at one our

:10:39.:10:41.

biggest clubs - Ballynahinch in County Down. As they gathered, Brian

:10:42.:10:55.

O'Driscoll and his team carried the hopes of clubs across the land. The

:10:56.:11:00.

interest levels are on the rise and things like that just take us you

:11:01.:11:07.

know, it is fantastic. Superb for Irish rugby and Ulster rugby and for

:11:08.:11:14.

local clubs. But no one underestimated the size of the task.

:11:15.:11:18.

Ireland needed to win in France forren the o' second - for only the

:11:19.:11:24.

second time in 40 years. We're in the presence of somebody special. He

:11:25.:11:28.

scored a hat trick. Can he go out in trial? It is great for Brian

:11:29.:11:35.

O'Driscoll to have the win on his last day. He started his career in

:11:36.:11:39.

France and he had finished with a Championship in France. It is very

:11:40.:11:44.

fitting. I'm sure the team will be delighted they have done that for

:11:45.:11:52.

him. A good flick! Tries by Sexton and Trimble raised hopes. But

:11:53.:12:00.

Ireland still trailed 13-12 at the break. My hair was black when the

:12:01.:12:04.

match started! The second half was no less dramatic. The French

:12:05.:12:10.

attacked, but Ireland countered. But there are more nail-minutes before

:12:11.:12:14.

victory for Ireland and the sweet taste of Six Nations success.

:12:15.:12:20.

Fantastic. What a fantastic match. Edge of the seat stuff all the way

:12:21.:12:26.

through. For us at the club, just incredible. We are delighted.

:12:27.:12:33.

Well, it's another St Patrick's day and the day is turning into a global

:12:34.:12:36.

celebration. Many landmarks around the world have been going green as

:12:37.:12:40.

part of Tourism Ireland's global greening campaign. And here are just

:12:41.:12:43.

some of them. The leaning tower of Pisa in Italy has turned green for

:12:44.:12:47.

the occasion. And in Australia, the Sydney Opera House has taken on a

:12:48.:12:52.

greeny hue. There was more than a hint of the Shamrock in America

:12:53.:12:55.

where the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign got the green treatment.

:12:56.:13:00.

It's possible to see the Great Wall of China from outer space. Well,

:13:01.:13:03.

that view is all the more spectacular now that it has been lit

:13:04.:13:07.

up in shades of emerald green. And even Christ the Redeemer in Brazil

:13:08.:13:16.

is now looking decidedly green. Back at home, up to 30,000 people

:13:17.:13:20.

turned out for the annual St Patrick's Day parade in Downpatrick

:13:21.:13:22.

this afternoon. Other parades took place in Armagh,

:13:23.:13:25.

Enniskillen and Dublin. Belfast held its parade a day before everyone

:13:26.:13:28.

else, with one of the biggest crowds ever joining the fun. Michael

:13:29.:13:34.

Fitzpatrick reports. Saint Patrick was at the centre of

:13:35.:13:38.

the celebrations on the streets of the ancient town where the patron

:13:39.:13:43.

saint is said to be buried. A colourful mixture of acrobats,

:13:44.:13:46.

musicians and dancers made their way through the town, with the footpaths

:13:47.:13:50.

lined with thousands of people talking up the party atmosphere.

:13:51.:13:54.

Even the snakes from this local pet shop were allowed to join the party.

:13:55.:14:04.

And atmosphere, the way I like it! It's fantastic, and the weather is

:14:05.:14:09.

lovely for it. So I'm really enjoying it. It's really good fun.

:14:10.:14:13.

She's loving it, are you not? It is from! Today's parade marks the

:14:14.:14:21.

commendation of a week-long test will celebrating Saint Patrick and

:14:22.:14:25.

his connection to the town. -- marks the end of a week-long celebration.

:14:26.:14:29.

This year, it has not disappointed. In Enniskillen, there was a watery

:14:30.:14:34.

theme to the parade. They did not rule the whole way. The organisers

:14:35.:14:40.

were denied the turnout. There has been a great success. Brilliant

:14:41.:14:45.

turnouts. When you think that all of the local people can organise this,

:14:46.:14:51.

great community support. In Omagh, the theme was celebrating cultures.

:14:52.:14:55.

A great crowd turned out to watch the parade and enjoy an open-air

:14:56.:15:00.

concert on the town centre. Belfast got its St Patrick's Day

:15:01.:15:04.

celebrations underway 24-hour is earlier than usual. They said they

:15:05.:15:07.

wanted to give everybody the opportunity to attend and it

:15:08.:15:11.

appeared to be off, with one of the biggest crowds in recent years. The

:15:12.:15:17.

biggest parade on the island was in Dublin, where up to 500,000 people

:15:18.:15:21.

lined the streets in a celebration all things Irish. The parade may be

:15:22.:15:28.

long over but for many, the party is only just starting.

:15:29.:15:31.

There were huge crowds in Londonderry too, from where our

:15:32.:15:35.

north west reporter, Keiron Tourish, sent this round up of all the

:15:36.:15:45.

events. Thousands took to the streets for

:15:46.:15:49.

the carnival parade. A sea of colour and spectacle. It made its way along

:15:50.:15:54.

Queen's and in and around the centre of the city. More than 600 people

:15:55.:16:03.

spent months repairing their floats. They came in all shapes and sizes.

:16:04.:16:09.

It is really good. It was really enjoyable. I thought it went well.

:16:10.:16:15.

Brilliant! Good on all of them for making the effort. It was great,

:16:16.:16:21.

excellent, gorgeous, we loved it. Greetings from Poland! I didn't see

:16:22.:16:31.

it, I was at bingo! The place was alive with the sound of many

:16:32.:16:34.

performers, leading up to its name of music city 2014. The legendary

:16:35.:16:42.

food festival proved a major attraction.

:16:43.:16:49.

For the adventures, there was even a chance to learn a few traditional

:16:50.:16:57.

steps. The theme for 2014 was music, myth and magic and it certainly did

:16:58.:17:00.

not disappoint the thousands who turned out despite the weather.

:17:01.:17:08.

Well, a busy day would be an understatement for sport.

:17:09.:17:10.

With the sport, here's Stephen Watson and no surprise that the

:17:11.:17:14.

Ireland rugby team are top billing. They certainly do. It has been a

:17:15.:17:17.

very busy day. We'll have all the traditional St

:17:18.:17:20.

Patrick's Day Schools sport for you as well. But we start by reflecting

:17:21.:17:23.

on Ireland's Six Nations success. The Ireland team arrived home

:17:24.:17:26.

yesterday to a hero's welcome in Dublin, after securing just their

:17:27.:17:29.

second Championship victory since 1985. The trophy being safely held

:17:30.:17:32.

by Brian O'Driscoll at the back of the court. And they won this one in

:17:33.:17:35.

dramatic fashion. Thomas Niblock looks back on a memorable weekend.

:17:36.:17:46.

The Six Nations belongs to captain Paul O'Connell and Ireland. And for

:17:47.:17:50.

the very last time, Brian O'Driscoll. Last year, Ireland

:17:51.:17:54.

finished joint bottom of the Championship. Under their new

:17:55.:17:58.

coach, they finished top. There are a few unsung heroes. There is the

:17:59.:18:03.

standout champions like Brian and Paul but I thought Eric was

:18:04.:18:13.

outstanding last night. I thought that some of those guys who really

:18:14.:18:19.

worked hard in behind-the-scenes. Chris Henry had another super game.

:18:20.:18:27.

They dominated the first half. I could probably keep naming names

:18:28.:18:31.

because I think it was a super team performance. It is probably even

:18:32.:18:37.

slightly more than the Grand Slam because obviously, with Brian

:18:38.:18:41.

playing his last game in dividend, there was so much emotion, so much

:18:42.:18:46.

at stake and they had to dig deep and it was great to get the win. The

:18:47.:18:51.

calm before the storm, the travelling support nervously local.

:18:52.:18:56.

We only need to win, not by much, just a little win would do! Come on

:18:57.:19:04.

the Irish! Come on Yaris! Once Saint Patrick took his seat, the drama

:19:05.:19:09.

unfolded. -- come on the Irish. Ireland scored the first try. And

:19:10.:19:16.

the Irish Sea and in control when he scored again in the second half.

:19:17.:19:23.

France then scored a try that should have been disallowed. COMMENTATOR:

:19:24.:19:31.

He has brought that. Oh! In Ireland looked to have lost it right at the

:19:32.:19:33.

very end. He has brought that. Oh! In Ireland

:19:34.:19:36.

looked to have COMMENTATOR: To me, that if a forward pass. But it was a

:19:37.:19:44.

forward pass, meaning the tried and Ireland clinched the Championship. I

:19:45.:19:48.

have never been so tired in my life. We put in eight weeks really, really

:19:49.:19:55.

hard work and for me, this is the highest point of my career. And the

:19:56.:20:01.

hard work has paid off and it means so much. So many seconds along the

:20:02.:20:05.

years and so many disappointments here. It is great to finish on a

:20:06.:20:11.

high. My last game in this magnificent jersey and... When I do

:20:12.:20:18.

hang it up on the hook inside, it will be with very fond memories.

:20:19.:20:24.

Memories for Brian, memories for an entire rugby nation.

:20:25.:20:28.

Fantastic occasion. There was drama today for Ireland's

:20:29.:20:32.

cricketers as well. The team got off to a winning start at the World

:20:33.:20:35.

Twenty20 tournament in Bangladesh. They beat Zimbabwe by three wickets

:20:36.:20:38.

in their opening group game of the tournament. But Ireland were made to

:20:39.:20:40.

sweat for victory. This was a game or Ireland seemed to

:20:41.:20:50.

have everything under control. COMMENTATOR: And what a catch! The

:20:51.:20:55.

restricted Zimbabwe to an innings of 163. With William Porterfield and

:20:56.:21:02.

Paul Sterling putting on 80 runs for their first wicket, Ireland appeared

:21:03.:21:07.

to be cruising home. Things got worse with four balls to go. Ireland

:21:08.:21:14.

needed just two runs to win and with the very next ball, it got worse.

:21:15.:21:18.

COMMENTATOR: We've got to hit the stubs, yes they have! Umpire's

:21:19.:21:22.

finger has gone up. What is happening? It went to the last ball

:21:23.:21:30.

with 11 needed to win. And Ireland somehow scrambled home. COMMENTATOR:

:21:31.:21:36.

He misses it. It has got to hit the stumps. It has missed them. Next up

:21:37.:21:40.

for Ireland is the UAE on Wednesday, if your nerves can handle

:21:41.:21:44.

that. Methodist College won the rugby

:21:45.:21:47.

schools' Cup for the third year in a row and the 37th time in total.

:21:48.:21:51.

They beat Sullivan Upper of Holywood in the final at Ravenhill. Two tries

:21:52.:21:56.

by Conor McKee put Methody firmly in control of the game early on, before

:21:57.:21:59.

Sullivan responded with a fine score of their own through a determined

:22:00.:22:01.

Chris Jordan. by Conor McKee put Methody firmly in

:22:02.:22:04.

control But Alastair McIvor then went over for the holder's third try

:22:05.:22:09.

before half-time. Johnny Betts revived Sullivan's hopes briefly in

:22:10.:22:12.

the second half, before Josh Jordan and Rory Cairns scored two more

:22:13.:22:15.

tries for Methody for a decisive 27-12 victory and a third straight

win in the competition. Disappointment for Sullivan in their

:22:30.:22:32.

first ever final. Even when people doubted us, we believed and coaches

:22:33.:22:38.

believed in ourselves and it is unbelievable. Words cannot describe

:22:39.:22:41.

what it feels like. People say that you are lucky to win one of these

:22:42.:22:45.

cups in your lifetime and to win three is unbelievable.

Omagh led at half time thanks to Conan McElduff's goal after 12

:22:55.:22:59.

minutes. St Pat's bounced back with five opening points in the second

:23:00.:23:02.

half and Danny Tallon scored a vital goal. It was the schools 14th

:23:03.:23:10.

success in the competition. -- the school's. They will now try and

:23:11.:23:14.

defend their All Ireland Colleges Hogan Cup title. Undescribable, that

:23:15.:23:21.

field. Words cannot explain it. It is real. This year it is really

:23:22.:23:25.

special because it is our last year in this competition and we won it.

:23:26.:23:30.

We knew we had to win the game unfortunately we did.

:23:31.:23:33.

The third schools final today was in football. -- and fortunately. De La

:23:44.:23:48.

:23:49.:23:52.

race for the Irish League title. Just two points separate the top two

:23:53.:23:55.

teams. Linfield maintained their lead at the weekend after a 3-0 win

In Gaelic Football's National League at the weekend there were wins for

:24:18.:24:22.

Tyrone, Down, Fermanagh and Cavan. But the standout performance of the

:24:23.:24:26.

weekend came from Derry. Brian McIver's side moved into second

:24:27.:24:29.

place in Division One after an impressive victory over Dublin, the

:24:30.:24:33.

current All Ireland champions. Mark Lynch, who was in rampant form,

:24:34.:24:36.

scored a goal and eight points as Derry took it 1-16 to 13 points.

:24:37.:24:45.

That is what I call a busy day and weekend of sport!

Stephen, thank you. Absolutely no complaints about the weather over

:24:56.:25:00.

week? This it is still -- still too early to find out now that Saint

Patrick has turned to stone but it was not a bad day. Most places are

:25:06.:25:11.

enjoying the dry evening and perhaps the odd spot of rain and drizzle.

:25:12.:25:14.

One thing is for sure, for the rest of the week, it is going to be much

more unsettled. Certainly very windy for a few days, especially towards

:25:35.:25:38.

going to be a great start and certainly wet. It will be windy and

:25:39.:25:42.

they will then out. In between, drier spells, great weather and not

temperatures staying between eight and nine degrees. Those are

temperatures normally that we have during the day. Not bad at all. A

very mild night to come. That sets us up nicely for Wednesday. It will

:26:34.:26:37.

be largely dry, bright but quite windy. Temperatures may get up to 14

:26:38.:26:42.

degrees but when you take into account the strong winds, it may

:26:43.:26:46.

feel a little bit colder than that out and about. At least it will be

:26:47.:26:50.

largely dry towards the middle of the week. It will change either. By

windy start to the day. Once the rain clears, it will cool down.
