:01:26. > :01:31.the remarks were offensive and sectarian. Yes, they caused great

:01:32. > :01:39.offence. I don't think it amounted to a crime. At the time, one of the

:02:57. > :03:01.Australia, he said his memory was very good. At the age of two he

:03:02. > :03:03.remembers being thrown in the air and that feeling of helplessness

:03:04. > :03:08.when you know you're going to have the ground. That was just a taste of

:09:05. > :09:08.be dry. The high pressure is sitting over all of Great Britain and

:09:17. > :09:20.south-east of England at 23 degrees. Across Ireland, temperatures

:09:21. > :09:24.typically in the high teens. Were we do get some sunshine, we would

:09:25. > :09:32.expect temperatures to get up to the low 20s. The wind will stay light

:09:33. > :09:40.and it will stay dry. Overnight into Thursday, a dry night. Thursday will

:09:41. > :09:45.be much like tomorrow, high-pressure remaining in control. Cloudy, but

:09:46. > :09:51.spells of sunshine. Were we to get sunshine, temperatures could get up
