A driver competing in the Ulster Rally has been killed

:00:09.:00:11.

20-year-old Timothy Cathcart was from Enniskillen.

:00:12.:00:14.

Our reporter Chris Page is at the rally headquarters at St Angelo.

:00:15.:00:17.

Well, this was the base for the rally drivers and the teams, but

:00:18.:00:36.

tonight he have all packed up and driven away after a very sad

:00:37.:00:42.

evening. The rest of the Ulster Rally has been called off as a mark

:00:43.:00:45.

of respect to Timothy Cathcart. Although all the race attracts

:00:46.:00:54.

drivers from all over, Timothy Cathcart was local. It was during

:00:55.:01:00.

special stage three of this competition near five male tone that

:01:01.:01:09.

this crash happened. -- Fivemiletown. There were no other

:01:10.:01:16.

vehicles involved. His codriver was injured. He was a mac listed by the

organised by the Northern Ireland Motor Club. They see that there will

:01:39.:01:43.

be an investigation which they will cooperate fully with. Once the

:01:44.:01:48.

police have finished looking into this then there will be another

:01:49.:01:51.

inquiry carried out by the governing body of the sport. They say that the

:02:14.:02:15.

the groups it funds that they should make plans for cuts of up to 5% of

:02:16.:02:18.

their budgets for this year. As our arts correspondent

:02:19.:02:21.

Maggie Taggart reports, 37 bodies were told that it's the result of

:02:22.:02:23.

?78 million worth of cuts agreed by As the Belfast Circus School has

final rehearsals for it August show, the organisers are dealing

:02:37.:02:40.

with unwelcome financial developments. 37 organisations which

:02:41.:02:45.

get the largest annual funding were called to a hastily arranged meeting

:02:46.:02:51.

yesterday. They were told to prepare for cuts of up to 5% by October. We

:02:52.:02:57.

were told to go away and preparing 5% cut to submit the impact of that

:02:58.:03:04.

cut to the Arts Council. For us, that means that we have to break at

:03:05.:03:10.

savings of ?8,000 in the remainder of this financial year and it was a

:03:11.:03:14.

big shock to think that we had the security of a grant being awarded to

:03:15.:03:20.

us back in the end of March and then in August to find out that, no, that

:03:21.:03:27.

is not going to happen. Almost halfway through the financial

:03:28.:03:30.

year organisations like these ones were told to work out how they could

:03:31.:03:34.

save 2.1% of their budgets. They said that the message was not that

:03:35.:03:39.

the cuts were potential but definite. The Arts Council has tried

:03:40.:03:44.

to reassure and says that it will work to mitigate the effect on those

:03:45.:03:49.

that it supplies of funding. That did not come across yesterday, that

:03:50.:03:52.

would be lovely if that was the case, but that did not come across.

:03:53.:03:58.

Wait map or did come across? That this is how it is and that this will

:03:59.:04:08.

get worse. The initial cut for this organisation would be around ?3000.

:04:09.:04:13.

At this point of year it is a big change to our plans for the year. It

:04:14.:04:17.

also means that we will have to look closely at where our key funding

:04:18.:04:24.

will be. The cost is from artist -- for artists come from the Arts

:04:25.:04:30.

Council funding. We have to make changes quickly and we do not have

time to find the funding complement it. The Tate a mac Northern Ireland

week. The police have confirmed they are

:04:58.:05:01.

conducting enquiries in to the death of a 22-year-old man at Belfast City

:05:02.:05:04.

Hospital more than a year ago. Sean-Paul Carnahan died five months

:05:05.:05:07.

after he sustained a brain injury The details emerged at a preliminary

:05:08.:05:10.

inquest hearing into his death. Sean-Paul Carnahan was admitted to

:05:11.:05:29.

Belfast City Hospital in March, 2013, after he had tried to take his

:05:30.:05:36.

own life. He had been a regular user of so-called legal highs. He was

:05:37.:05:40.

left brain damaged. Following his death, his mother spoke publicly to

stuff. You would not want to be left the way that my son was left. He was

:06:00.:06:12.

fortunately, like most children, he did not realise the danger he

brought onto himself. She accuses the hospital was not looking after

:06:17.:06:24.

him properly. They gave up on him. My child died of starvation. I had

to watch my child died, waste away in front of my eyes. When my child

:06:28.:06:31.

died he was six foot and he died in front of my eyes. When my child

five stone. I am traumatised by that. I thought that when I put my

:06:36.:06:42.

child into their care that he would get better, not basically that he

:06:43.:06:54.

would be starved to death. Mrs Carnahan's solicitor did confirm

:06:55.:06:58.

that she has put in an official complaint about the care given to

:06:59.:07:04.

her son. The coroner queried whether this constituted a charge of

:07:05.:07:10.

corporate manslaughter. There has been agreement that it did. The

:07:11.:07:16.

inquest cannot continue until the PSNI's investigation into the

:07:17.:07:23.

complaint is carried out. The hospital said that it offered its

:07:24.:07:27.

complaint is carried out. The deepest condolences to the family.

:07:28.:07:30.

It also said that it would be inappropriate to make any comment

:07:31.:07:31.

whilst there is an ongoing process. The Catholic Primate Cardinal Sean

:07:32.:07:35.

Brady has confirmed that he offered his resignation to

:07:36.:07:38.

the Pope last month in anticipation During his 18-year period as

:07:39.:07:40.

Archbishop of Armagh he has had to deal with strong criticism of his

:07:41.:07:44.

and the Church's handling of cases The Coadjutor Archbishop, Monsignor

:07:45.:07:47.

Eamon Martin, will become the next Primate of All Ireland when Cardinal

:07:48.:07:51.

Brady's resignation is accepted. The number

:07:52.:08:00.

of new mortgage repossession cases coming before the courts fell to

:08:01.:08:02.

the lowest level since 2007 There were just over 1,600

:08:03.:08:04.

cases between January and June. That compares to almost 2,000 cases

:08:05.:08:11.

in the same period last year. Belfast City Council has confirmed

:08:12.:08:18.

that an event hosted by George Galloway will take place

:08:19.:08:20.

at the Ulster Hall as scheduled. The council, which owns the

:08:21.:08:23.

Ulster Hall, had taken legal advice after the DUP called for next week's

:08:24.:08:27.

event to be cancelled because of anti-Israeli remarks made

:08:28.:08:30.

recently by Mr Galloway. Now let's have a look

:08:31.:08:39.

at the weather forecast. It has been a reardrive day-to-day.

:08:40.:08:58.

Things Damian McBride, just the odd shower overnight. Temperatures stay

:08:59.:09:08.

in double figures -- things have been Parma. Quite cloudy start of

:09:09.:09:16.

the day on Saturday, the Shermer is starting to work their way in on the

:09:17.:09:23.

westerly breeze. In north -South split. A very different day across

:09:24.:09:34.

England and Wales. For us, we will see those Shermer is coming from the

:09:35.:09:37.

west as they go through the afternoon on Saturday. It should not

:09:38.:09:43.

be enough to disrupt the racing, but it is not what we would expect for

:09:44.:09:47.

the middle of August, with those temperatures topping out at around

:09:48.:09:53.

17 degrees. We will notice these wind gauges starting to pick up, the

:09:54.:09:59.

north-westerly breeze coming in, holding down the temperatures, the

:10:00.:10:04.

showers become much heavier. The temperatures struggling above 14

:10:05.:10:10.

degrees. A disappointing end to the weekend, next week looks like it

:10:11.:10:13.

will be autumnal.
