A police officer has been charged in connection with the murder | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
The officer, who is a woman, will appear in court | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
James McDonagh died after being assaulted outside | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
Earlier this evening, the police said that a 33-year-old | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
woman had been charged with perverting the course | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
of justice and withholding information about the killing. | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
It's now been revealed that she's a police officer, | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
and it's understood she has been suspended from the force. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
An extra ?1.6 million is being given to private companies who run | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
They've been calling for additional funding for some time, | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
and the money will also go towards to providing care | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Here's our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
You all right? Go. | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
It might look like child's play, but caring for the elderly | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
Presently, the difficulty is recruiting highly-trained staff | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
especially as demand for places continues growing. | :01:13. | :01:22. | |
Our residents are getting younger and staying longer, | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
that is it, and continuity of staff, it is important. | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
According to staff, the hourly rate of no more than ?6.70 does not make | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
There are better hourly rates needed to enhance and make more | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
People like myself and the rest of the staff that work here. | :01:41. | :01:49. | |
It is hoped that the ?1.6 million investment today aimed | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
at the independent, or private sector, will address some | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
of these challenges. How will the money be used? | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
The hourly rate that health Trusts currently pay domiciliary care homes | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Currently it is not clear how residential care home owners | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
The big question is if employees pass the financial benefit | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
We will do our best to renumerate staff as best we can. | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
They do a difficult job, often under difficult circumstances | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
and they deserve to be well paid for what they do. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
The health minister said since meeting the sector | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
of the different challenges, including recruitment. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
He said the package should bring stability to the sector and reassure | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
residents and families that all is being done to make sure | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
The financial package today will receive more of a boost | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
on 1st April when the Department of Health says | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
it will make additional money available in order to | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
cope with the impact of the national living wage. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
It means for the over 25s working in this sector, | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
the hourly rate will increase from ?6.70 per hour | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Good news for the workers but according to the owners | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
of places like this, it is a major challenge. | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
While employers welcome the cash boost today, | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
they call for the entire system to be reassessed. | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
There is a need for an independent review, a root and branch review | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
of the structure and model of the support of the social care | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
The much-needed investment today is a significant nod | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
from the department that at last they are trying to prioritise caring | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
A 33-year-old man has appeared in court charged with the murder | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
The body of 48-year-old Anthony McErlain was found at a flat | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
In court in Coleraine today was Christopher Patrick Keenan, | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
No bail application was made and he'll appear in court | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
The police have been granted extra time to question a 50-year-old man | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Storm Henry - has been making his presence felt today - | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
causing some travel disruption and strong gusts | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
We'll have a forecast shortly but earlier this | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
evening our reporter David Maxwell went to Carrickfergus to see | :04:21. | :04:21. | |
what conditions were like on the coast. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Storm Henry should be leaving soon and he hasn't gone yet and | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
Carrickfergus getting a pummelling this evening. The highest wind gusts | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
were recorded at 75 mph and with winds like that, you can expect some | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
damage and trees have been brought down across Northern Ireland | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
including one this evening outside Lisburn. There will be damaging | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
gusts overnight. There have not been the power outages we saw with storm | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Gertrude last week, with 20,000 people disconnected. They say there | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
are special teams of engineers on tonight and an escalation plan in | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
place. The PS and I are warning truck drivers to take care, | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
especially those in high sided vehicles on motorways and Translink | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
have diverted some of their bus services off the motorways this | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
evening. The 212 service has been diverted in north Belfast. The good | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
news is, it should be an improving picture overnight, the weather | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
warning remaining in place until 10am tomorrow morning so we have not | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
seen the end of the gales but storm Henry certainly on his way. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
Michelle Gildernew has been dropped as a Sinn Fein candidate | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
for the Fermanagh and South Tyrone constituency in May's Assembly | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
She's been replaced by the current MLA, Phil Flanagan. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
A Sinn Fein selection convention last night in Enniskillen last night | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
reversed a decision taken back in the middle of December. | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
Speaking to me earlier, our political editor, | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Mark Devenport, told me the move had come as a surprise. | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
It has been a topsy-turvy time for Sinn Fein. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
She lost her seat in Westminster last year to Tom Elliott. | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
The Unionist handed eight. -- candidate. | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Then it looked like she would make a dramatic comeback in the middle | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
of December, when she was selected instead of Flanagan to come forward | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
as one of the candidates for the Assembly elections. | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
But the ruling council ordered a rerun because apparently | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
there were complaints about procedural errors. | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
That decision taken in December has been turned around, | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
with Phil Flanagan back on the ticket along with Sean Lynch | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
and John Feeley. Michelle Gildernew losing out. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
Any sense at all about what her future might hold? | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
Given her high profile - she is not just | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
a former MP but a former Stormont Agriculture Minister - | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
you would think that Sinn Fein would look to find a place for her. | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
They have rules about wanting more than 30% of the candidates | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
But that is across all elections rather than any | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
We did hear rumours they might shift her next door to Mid Ulster | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
because Martin McGuinness has gone back to his home constituency, | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
She continues to work for Sinn Fein in a backroom capacity but no sign | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
People across Britain and Ireland have been expressing their sadness | :07:30. | :07:45. | |
at the death of Terry Wogan. The veteran broadcaster died yesterday | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
from cancer. He spent most of his career in London but made several | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
programmes on this side of the Irish sea. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Terry Wogan was born in Limerick but grew up there and in London where he | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
began his broadcasting life. Most of his long career was with the BBC, | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
from a DJ on his breakfast show to the Eurovision contest narrator. | :08:05. | :08:16. | |
Where he showed his sardonic style. A series of programmes featured a | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
round trip of Ireland and one stop was that the Titanic port in Belfast | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
where he was moved by the story of a defendant. Terry seemed to be very | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
interested in my particular family story, the fact my great-grandfather | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
had given my grandfather two pennies before he sailed on Titanic and of | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
course he did not come back. Terry was keen to hold those pennies and | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
he did seem moved by the story. He had a chat show for ten years and in | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
1995, appeared on BBC Northern Ireland with the late Jerry Anderson | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
discussing an infamous appearance by George best. When he came out, I | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
went across to meet him and he was footless. Children In Need was one | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
of his passions and he resented it for more than three decades. He has | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
fronted Children In Need since it started in 1980, 34 years and last | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
year, in November, was the first time he hasn't been there but he's | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
very much with us in spirit and always will be. In Limerick, the | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
city of his birth, a book of condolence was opened in memory of | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
the local boy who, although long gone, have never forgot his roots. | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
Parents are being urged to know how to deal with a child who takes | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
a seizure called a febrile convulsion. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
They're caused by a high temperature and can affect children up | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
Two-year-old Hannah is completely fine now. | :09:43. | :09:55. | |
Three weeks ago, she took a febrile seizure in the middle of the night. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Her mum Tracey, a nurse, did not know what was happening. | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
She was foaming at the mouth. Her lips were blue. | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
Luckily enough the seizure only lasted about a minute. | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
She went into a deep sleep but was unresponsive. | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
I could not understand why my daughter was taking a seizure. | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
She is a perfectly healthy child. I thought she was dying. | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
That is what most parents believe but in fact it is a more common | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
They are a type of seizure which can happen in children between six | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
months and five years, with a temperature. | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Just putting it in perspective, one in 50 children would have had | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
it by the age of five in the UK and Ireland. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
When we were filming at the hospital, baby Jake | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
was being monitored after having one. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
If your child does have a seizure it is important to do | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
a number of things. Call for help. | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
Get the child into the recovery position. | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Janine, you are a doctor on the children's ward and Kathryn, | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
Show me how to put her in the recovery position. | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
Put the arm closest to you up to the head. | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Bring the hand across the body and the back of the | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
Roll the child onto the side and open the airway. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
I think every parent should be trained in the first aid on how | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
In antenatal classes they should cover this. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
If you know your child is not well, keep their temperature under | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Hello, good evening, it certainly has been a blustery | :11:43. | :11:55. | |
and lively start to the new week thanks to Storm Henry which drifts | :11:56. | :11:57. | |
to the north of Scotland through tonight. | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
Still some tightly packed isobars there, indicating very strong, | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
even quite stormy winds and they carry on into tomorrow. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
So we still have a wind warning in place through tonight, | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
into tomorrow morning, potential for further disruption | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
with tree debris on roads and some pretty nasty crosswinds. | :12:11. | :12:12. | |
Now, we have seen the peak of the winds this evening, | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
nevertheless, still severe gale force gusts through the night, | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
Showers rattling through as well but enough breeze to prevent | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
temperatures from dipping much lower than three or 4 degrees so it should | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Into tomorrow, those showers soon roll away which will give us some | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
sunshine, but not particularly warm, we will still have a cold wind | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
blowing and during the morning, to begin with, they are still | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
in that warning category, still gusting up to 60 mph. | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
But as you can see, it turns dry and bright. | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
A few showers speeding across parts of the Republic of Ireland, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
showery rain for northern Scotland, turning to sleet and snow over | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
the Scottish mountains and although the warnings have | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
For southern Scotland, and the rest of England - | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
maybe a couple of showers in Wales - generally it is dry and quite funny | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
maybe a couple of showers in Wales - generally it is dry and quite sunny | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Come the afternoon, for Northern Ireland, | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
the winds ease a little bit but it is still a gusty, | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
cold-feeling day, even with the sunshine, highs only | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
And then in the evening time, showers do develop, some of those | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
turning wintry on the hills, the wind is picking up. | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
But they ease down again on Wednesday which does look | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
Our next BBC Newsline is at 6.25am in the morning during | :13:22. | :13:27. |
