for the patients of the future. That's all from us. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Taoiseach has described the controversy over the | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
cancellation of country singer Garth Brooks' Dublin concerts at Croke | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Park as a shock to the economy and a great disappointment for his fans. | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Now attention is focusing on how to refund the hundreds | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
Garth Brooks fans have ensured several anxious days but late this | :00:20. | :00:41. | |
afternoon came the news they'd been dreading. All five concerts at | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
Dublin's Croke park had been cancelled by the singer. Right up | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
until today I genuinely thought it would go ahead. I thought there was | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
so much money involved that there was no way a handful of residents | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
could stop something going ahead. Such was the demand for tickets that | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
eventually five shows went on sale, all of them sold out. But the | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
tickets had gone on sale subject to licence. Dublin City Council were | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
lobbied by concerned residents living around the venue who said an | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
agreement that only three special events per year are licensed there | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
was being breached. In the end, the Council stated that only three shows | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
could go ahead after the singer said it was five or nothing. They went | :01:27. | :01:30. | |
back to him and said he wouldn't accept three. They phoned me back | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
and said we could have four. What is he supposed to think about the whole | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
thing? He said it was five or nothing. They went from three to | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
four and the next morning they phoned us back at one o'clock and | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
they said it was three again. The controversy even reached the floor | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
of the Irish parliament this afternoon. I'm sure this is a great | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
disappointment to his many hundreds of thousands of fans here. It's a | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
shock to the economy of this city and the reputation of our country. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
So what now for the 400,000 fans with tickets for a show which isn't | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
going to happen? If you bought it from a reputable outlet, from a | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
proper person running a concert in a normal manner, you should be quite | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
safe to get all your money back. If you went on the black market or | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
spoke to some very nice guy on the internet who sent you the tickets | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
for cash, you're going to have to go back to that person, which is not | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
the most optimistic of prospects. Details of what has been described | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
as an unprecedented refunding operation are due to be announced | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
tomorrow. A man and a woman have appeared in | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
court in connection with the weekend The body of Owen Creaney who | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
the police described as "frail and vulnerable" was found in a rubbish | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
bin at a house in Craigavon. Gordon Adair was at Craigavon Court | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
for BBC Newsline. Stephen Hughes, on the left, and | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
Owen Creaney, at a party in Stephen Hughes's house on Wednesday. The | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
police say that within hours of the photo being taken, Hughes and his | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
co-accused attacked Owen Creaney so severely that he eventually died | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
from his injuries. The police say the fatally injured victim was left | :03:16. | :03:17. | |
in the house without medical attention for up two days. They | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
believe he died on Friday night or early Saturday morning. Around | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
lunchtime on Saturday, police relieved a tip-off that a man's body | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
had been found in a house. Initial searches found nothing. Stephen | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Hughes and his co-accused each claim to the other was responsible for the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
killing in police interviews. At one point, information from the | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
co-accused led to officers returning from the house, where they found the | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
body of Owen Creaney hidden in a wheeled bin. Stephen Hughes did not | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
apply for bail, while bail was refused for his co-accused. The | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
court heard that she had a lengthy criminal record and had left the | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
jurisdiction unlawfully while on bail for an earlier arson offence. | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
Both will appear again here in Creigiau common later this month. -- | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
Craigavon. Stormont's ministers have called | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
for all parades and protests over The appeal was made | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
in a joint party statement issued after an Executive meeting | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
at Stormont Castle this afternoon. Ministers discussed the | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
Parades Commission's decision to prevent Orangemen returning past | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
the Ardoyne shops in North Belfast Speaking afterwards, the First | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Minister Peter Robinson said he still wasn't prepared to reveal what | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
the unionists' gradual response to You'll probably not have to long to | :04:30. | :04:44. | |
wait for the next step to be announced and we'll do it according | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
to our own timetable, our own agenda. We'll not be enticed by the | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
questions before then. There have been more calls | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
for the sexual abuse suffered by boys at a care home in east Belfast | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
to be included in the independent investigations into historical abuse | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
ordered by the Home Secretary. Theresa May says the review | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
and inquiry will provide maximum transparency - including access to | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
sensitive government files. The Kincora Boys' Home closed | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
in 1980 and three members But allegations of involvement by | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
the security services in covering up This is the former Kincora Boys' | :05:14. | :05:34. | |
Home on the Newtownards Road in East Belfast. In the early 1980s, it was | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
at the centre of a scandal which dated back years and rocked the | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
political landscape in Northern Ireland. Free care workers at the | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
home, including this man, William McGrath, were convicted of accusing | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
boys. A leading Orangemen with links to political union losing and | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
others, he allegedly also had links to the security services. This is | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
the journalist who investigated the events there. The first | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
investigation was blocked by MI5. MI5 had an interest and that was | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
their agent William McGrath. They stopped British Army intelligence | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
from reporting these matters to the police for investigation, so young | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
men here were brutalised and raped and abused whilst MI5 sat on their | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
hands and allowed it to go on. More than 30 years on, this remains a | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
scandal that persists and will be examined by the historical | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
institutional abuse inquiry set up by the Assembly. We welcome the | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
inquiry but we would not unfortunately it does not have the | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
powers to reach into secret service files in the way the inquiry | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
announced by Theresa May yesterday will. She said it will be able to | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
access whatever and wherever it needs to go and, if necessary, she | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
will bring statutory powers to enable that. That's what we need to | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
get to the bottom of this business. Theresa may have effectively | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
launched two investigations, the first a review of how police and | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
prosecutors dealt with allegations of child sex abuse. The other will | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
be an in-depth inquiry. Both are at an early stage and it is unclear as | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
to whether the abuse here at the former home at King Cora will | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
actually feature. The Kincora Boys' Home was | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
in East Belfast. The constituency's MP Naomi Long has | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
also called for any inquiry or review ordered by | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
Westminster to include that home. I believe it is important that that | :07:31. | :07:41. | |
is properly investigated and thoroughly investigated and even the | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
destruction of records in itself could point to whether or not there | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
is substance to those allegations. So I think by including it in this | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
inquiry we create some clarity around the situation but we also | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
give the opportunity for the victims to talk openly and freshly about | :07:58. | :07:58. | |
what has happened to them. And in football, Linfield are | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
through to the next round of the Europa League after drawing | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
1-1 with B36 Torshavn tonight. Michael Carvill put Linfield | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
in front after 17 minutes in the second-leg tie. The team | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
from the Faroe Islands equalised Linfield now face AIK Solna | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
of Sweden in the second round. Now time for the weather. | :08:13. | :08:29. | |
With the showers out of the way, things are bit more settled through | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
the next 24 hours. We have a dry night coming up with a few clear | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
spells and temperatures similar to last night in the towns. Some | :08:37. | :08:45. | |
countryside but made it to seven or eight. Into tomorrow, the promise of | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
a much better day for stopped a dry day with bright and sunny spells | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
almost anywhere from the word go although there will be some patchy | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
cloud. Similar across the Republic of Ireland, with some sunshine, as | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
there will be across the rest of Britain. Quite warm sunshine by the | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
afternoon with temperatures into the low 20s. The exception is likely to | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
be the North Sea coast, particularly the east of the towards East Anglia. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
They have a noticeable northerly breeze, will have increasing cloud | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
and some rain starting to the gym later on. Out towards the west of | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Ireland, a weather system starts to edge in later in the day, | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
threatening rain. I don't think the rain will reach Northern Ireland in | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
daylight hours but we will see increasing amounts of cloud across | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
the West but a lot of it still fairly dry. There will be bright | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
spells coming through. The best sunshine in the afternoon reserved | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
for the north and east. The south-east could hit 19 or 20, the | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
north coast a little fresher with the breeze. Into Thursday, a bit | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
more cloud around, a bit of a damp start but hopefully the rain not | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
amounting to two much at all. That's it from me. Good night, sleep | :09:59. | :10:01. |
