:03:52. > :03:56.were celebrations nevertheless. For Jim Nicholson it was an anxious wait
:03:57. > :03:59.but he retained his seat. The elections have been good for Sinn
:04:00. > :04:06.Fein on both sides of the border. They topped Paul in Northern Ireland
:04:07. > :04:12.and in the south we have taken two seats and on course for a third. In
:04:13. > :04:17.the council elections they took 157 seats in the south and 105 in
:04:18. > :04:21.Northern Ireland, and they are the largest party Belfast and Dublin
:04:22. > :04:24.Council 's. Does the party's widespread support mean that they

:04:39. > :04:41.a date on it but we are uniting the Fein, North himself. The next step
:04:42. > :04:45.is to try to get into government on both sides of the border. If Sinn
:04:46. > :04:49.Fein do get into power in the south they will be hoping to get key
:04:50. > :04:54.ministries dealing with cross-border issues. All part of their strategy
:04:55. > :04:57.do eventually get rid of the border. Some believe the Sinn Fein rise in
:04:58. > :05:03.the Republic is temporary, and is simply a protest vote, after the

:05:20. > :05:26.certain circumstances than when politics and economy stabilised more
:05:27. > :05:32.people not vote on them. There was going to be a Westminster Hall, an
:05:33. > :05:37.assembly poll at the general election in the Republic, all within
:05:38. > :05:43.the next few -- all within the next two years.
:05:44. > :05:46.They just finished counting at the Kings Hall
:05:47. > :05:49.in the last half hour, amid criticism of the time it's taken.
:05:50. > :05:51.Some politicians say the process has been understaffed,
:05:52. > :05:55.technology is the best way to speed things up.
:05:56. > :06:05.They had set aside one day for the count but by mid-evening it was
:06:06. > :06:10.clear that it was going to stretch into the second one. The long hours
:06:11. > :06:15.took their toll on everyone waiting on the declarations, especially the
:06:16. > :06:18.candidates. There has been criticism of the delay in the declaration of
:06:19. > :06:24.both the local government and European results. The DUP said it
:06:25. > :06:27.was simply an issue of staffing. In my view we just do not simply put
:06:28. > :06:32.enough people in the count the votes. And if we put more people in
:06:33. > :06:36.and get more professional about it and organise it more effectively,
:06:37. > :06:40.there is no magic about it. That is the problem. The chief of the actual
:06:41. > :06:46.officer said that he had enough people for the job. The Irish
:06:47. > :06:51.Republic are still doing the last of its receipt after three days of
:06:52. > :06:57.counting. It has been suggested that technology might speak rings up. We
:06:58. > :07:01.are using a system on a 21st-century that is not fit for purpose. If we
:07:02. > :07:05.want to make progress on this and make the count quicker and more
:07:06. > :07:10.efficient we have to have all ballot papers with a bar code on them,
:07:11. > :07:14.scanned into a scanning device and a computer reads that and does the
:07:15. > :07:19.calculations and instead of the count lasting days, it lasts four
:07:20. > :07:23.hours. He has been making this case for some time. After criticism in
:07:24. > :07:30.the last assembly election results, he arranged counting using software
:07:31. > :07:35.developed by a company from Derry, but not many politicians turned up
:07:36. > :07:38.to see. That same company ran Scottish local government elections
:07:39. > :07:41.in 2012. The electoral commission said that they had gone smoothly.
:07:42. > :07:48.More than 1200 seats where gold, more than three times that what we
:07:49. > :07:52.have in our new super councils, and the last of the result was in by
:07:53. > :07:55.tea-time on day one of the count. But that type of counting has not
:07:56. > :07:58.been without difficulty in the past, and any new system would need
:07:59. > :08:04.extensive stress testing before its introduction.
:08:05. > :08:12.Let's get an overview of where the European results leave

:08:22. > :08:24.The Ulster Unionists had better local elections, their share went
:08:25. > :08:30.up, they had worse European elections in the sense that their
:08:31. > :08:36.share went down by 2.75%. Given that, they will be taking solace
:08:37. > :08:40.from the fact that Jim Nicholson has one, because there was some speaking
:08:41. > :08:49.nation you could be the most vulnerable of the outgoing MEPs. We
:08:50. > :08:52.heard how slow the count has been in Northern Ireland. They are still
:08:53. > :08:56.counting in the Republic, although they had a head start. Counting on
:08:57. > :09:00.the Republic began they had a head start. Counting on

:09:49. > :09:50.local and European elections as But the experience has shown that
:09:51. > :09:56.the Sinn Fein vote is on an almost continuous upward curve, albeit
:09:57. > :10:00.incremental. It is difficult to see the Labour Party regaining much of
:10:01. > :10:04.the ground that it has lost at the weekend, even with a new leader,
:10:05. > :10:10.especially as there has to be another vote in the autumn. Three
:10:11. > :10:14.major political parties in the Republic now, including Sinn Fein,
:10:15. > :10:18.and that is not going to change between now and the general election
:10:19. > :10:21.expected in 2016. It means that Sinn Fein policies will come under a lot
:10:22. > :10:27.more scrutiny from their political opponents and from the media than
:10:28. > :10:30.perhaps was the case. I have heard some DUP people privately say that
:10:31. > :10:35.some tough decisions, particularly in Northern Ireland with regard to
:10:36. > :10:37.welfare, have not been taken because Sinn Fein did not want to give
:10:38. > :10:45.ammunition to its opponents, south of the border. What do you think the
:10:46. > :10:50.implications are of both elections on those party leader talks?
:10:51. > :10:55.Commentators talk about a window of opportunity on the other side of an
:10:56. > :11:01.election when politicians can take more risky moves than they would
:11:02. > :11:05.want to. The problem is, in relation to parade in the past, the DUP will
:11:06. > :11:12.be looking over its shoulder at the likes of the TUV who got 75,000
:11:13. > :11:17.votes within the last few moments. Jim Allister has made a tub thumping

:12:52. > :12:59.believe it at the time. But as time has gone on, I think there must have

:13:23. > :13:28.retired Canadian judge ruled out a public inquiry into the case in
:13:29. > :13:33.2003. He concluded there was not sufficient evidence to justify an
:13:34. > :13:36.inquiry. Because, he said, intelligence that claimed collusion
:13:37. > :13:41.was a factor in the murders, it was over ten years out of date. He also
:13:42. > :13:47.questioned the reliability of the source of that intelligence. Judge
:13:48. > :13:51.Smithwick found that this information was dated just three
:13:52. > :13:57.years after the murders and was reliable. The former force minister
:13:58. > :14:02.Lord Trimble has called for a full public inquiry to be granted
:14:03. > :14:07.alongside -- along the Smithwick tribunal lines. It is clear that the
:14:08. > :14:11.mistake was made and that mistake should be put right. There is clear
:14:12. > :14:18.evidence which points towards collusion again. You think there
:14:19. > :14:24.should be an inquiry into the case? Yes. Attention has turned to this
:14:25. > :14:27.and other similar cases in the six months since the Smithwick report
