:00:46. > :00:51.after he returns home a double world champion?

:00:55. > :00:56.Spring can still have a few wintry bites though.
:00:57. > :01:05.I'll be a looking at the week ahead later in the programme.
:01:06. > :01:09.We begin with that new revelation about the prominent Belfast
:01:10. > :01:12.businessman, Frank Cushnahan, who's been at the centre
:01:13. > :01:22.He has claimed he was due to be paid a fixer fee in relation
:01:23. > :01:24.to the billion pound sale of Northern Ireland's property
:01:25. > :01:28.The admission is made on a covert recording obtained
:01:29. > :01:32.Mr Cushnahan, who had been an adviser to Nama,
:01:33. > :01:34.has previously denied that he was due to receive money.
:01:35. > :01:44.Here's our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell.
:01:45. > :01:54.This is lana-macro. Former banker, corporate fixer and Nama advisor.
:01:55. > :01:57.Nama is the Republic's bad bank. After the financial crisis, it took
:01:58. > :02:02.effective control ball properly loaned portfolio in Northern Ireland
:02:03. > :02:07.with more than ?1 billion. It set up an advisory committee to deal with
:02:08. > :02:11.Northern issues. Frank Cushnahan was appointed to that committed by the B
:02:12. > :02:14.U P. And the former First Minister praised his role when he appeared
:02:15. > :02:20.before Stormont committee which was examining the deal. I think the
:02:21. > :02:25.general view of Frank Cushnahan is that he wasn't used very
:02:26. > :02:34.considerably as an expert in these areas. -- was used. I was almost
:02:35. > :02:38.going to use the word recurring in backing financial issues. But
:02:39. > :02:41.unknown to Nama, they had been talking to a US investment fund who
:02:42. > :02:46.are interested in buying the entire Northern Ireland portfolio. -- who
:02:47. > :02:54.were. Prior to leaving his post, Frank Cushnahan continue to meet
:02:55. > :02:59.with them. He was due to be paid ?5 million if the bid succeeded, but it
:03:00. > :03:03.collapsed when a Nama learned of his role. Another company then bought
:03:04. > :03:09.the loaned portfolio for more than ?1 billion. Lana-macro was also due
:03:10. > :03:13.to benefit from that deal. He has consistent they denied it. -- Frank
:03:14. > :03:19.Cushnahan. But in discussing the deal, is says he was due a fee. He
:03:20. > :03:30.did that because he was unable to settle. This revelation raises major
:03:31. > :03:34.issues for Nama. Should it have stopped the process entirely when it
:03:35. > :03:42.learned of Frank Cushnahan's role in the proposed sale? To my's Scott --
:03:43. > :03:46.Spotlight will reveal details of a whistle-blower alleging corruption
:03:47. > :03:47.and bribery. Much of what he has to say relates to the Nama Northern
:03:48. > :03:51.Ireland portfolio. And you can see that special edition
:03:52. > :03:54.of Spotlight tonight at 8:30pm, The London Mayor Boris Johnson has
:03:55. > :04:00.delivered a manufacturing boost to the local company Wrightbus

:05:08. > :05:08.just in London, but in Singapore and Hong Kong I think we need to lift
:05:09. > :05:11.our eyes to see Hong Kong I think we need to lift
:05:12. > :05:16.around the planet and I'm afraid that the sad thing is that they are
:05:17. > :05:21.not in Europe at the moment, but across the world. Many Northern
:05:22. > :05:24.Ireland exporters worry that Brexit poses a risk to the economy and then
:05:25. > :05:29.the Prime Minister who was in county Antrim at the weekend, they have an
:05:30. > :05:34.ally. We have privileged access to a market of 500 million people in the
:05:35. > :05:38.free trade single market, and that gives us jobs, investment, the
:05:39. > :05:44.chance to build on what is already a strong economy. And we can put that
:05:45. > :05:49.at risk if we leave. But today was about positive views for money
:05:50. > :05:54.factoring, with the bus order removing uncertainty around 300
:05:55. > :05:59.jobs. The Route master bus is only about a fifth of what Wrightbus
:06:00. > :06:04.does, but it has become a calling card and not just
:06:05. > :06:05.does, but it has become a calling but for Northern Ireland plc. As
:06:06. > :06:09.Boris Johnson said, this but for Northern Ireland plc. As
:06:10. > :06:11.brand, we have seen it in films and across the world and in some of the
:06:12. > :06:15.trade missions I was across the world and in some of the
:06:16. > :06:20.bus with us and it has become an icon of British money factoring. It
:06:21. > :06:24.is a massive endorsement for a really good products. It takes us
:06:25. > :06:29.from 800 buses to 1000 buses, which is the size of order we originally
:06:30. > :06:34.contemplated when we had back in 2009, and it is brilliant to see it
:06:35. > :06:38.coming off. Boris Johnson also visited to other parts of the boys
:06:39. > :06:42.for London buses and trains. This place in Lisbon makes P VC products.

:06:57. > :06:58.Boris Johnson is this evening speaking at a business event
:06:59. > :07:01.Beforehand, BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson asked him
:07:02. > :07:08.would happen at the border if the UK voted to leave the European Union.
:07:09. > :07:16.I that there has
:07:17. > :07:20.I area between the United Kingdom and
:07:21. > :07:26.the Republic of Ireland for getting on 100 years. There's no
:07:27. > :07:30.the Republic of Ireland for getting case. What about farmers? There are
:07:31. > :07:34.many Northern Ireland. Can you guarantee they would be better off
:07:35. > :07:39.out of the EU? I can certainly guarantee they will be no worse off
:07:40. > :07:42.and in many ways, better off, because you would be
:07:43. > :07:46.and in many ways, better off, the subsidy and we would get money
:07:47. > :07:52.back from the EU which currently goes to Brussels and goes on heaven
:07:53. > :07:57.knows what. We lose about ?9 billion a year. And we never see it again.
:07:58. > :08:02.What they were said to your critics who say it is not about what is best
:08:03. > :08:10.for Birmingham or Belfast, but about what is best for Boris? Obviously I
:08:11. > :08:15.totally reject that. It was a very difficult to take a side, because I
:08:16. > :08:18.was trying to persuade myself that we had reformer. And you remember
:08:19. > :08:26.the Prime Minister went out and tried to get along -- a deal and we
:08:27. > :08:30.were told it would be fundamental. Is it a legal trip? I don't think we
:08:31. > :08:37.have the reform we need an bomber pieces, I have always said we should
:08:38. > :08:42.be confident about the future of this country in striking a new
:08:43. > :08:48.series of relationships. One final thing, if I had 10 euros in my
:08:49. > :08:53.pockets, should I put my money on a Brexit? Will we win? There is every
:08:54. > :09:01.chance that the people will see this is their chance to get our back from
:09:02. > :09:07.Brussels. And to get our people and give them a gain the chance to kick
:09:08. > :09:11.out at elections the people who are taking the decisions. Time for
:09:12. > :09:13.freedom is what I would say. Boris Johnson talking to Mark Simpson.
:09:14. > :09:26.England is doing the post match slap, that is never a good sign.
:09:27. > :09:32.I'll's six Nations aspirations are over.

:09:36. > :09:39.Father Stephen Crossan is reported to have taken the drug on a night
:09:40. > :09:44.of drinking last night in his house at St Patrick's church in Banbridge.
:09:45. > :09:51.Our correspondent Chris Buckler is with me.
:09:52. > :09:53.A Sunday newspaper obtained this video.
:09:54. > :10:06.It was obtained by the Some On Sunday and filmed the last July. It
:10:07. > :10:10.seems Father Stephen Crossan had been out with people and invited
:10:11. > :10:13.them back to his parochial home. We can show you some of the video, it
:10:14. > :10:18.is clear they were drinking and talking and at one stage, he is
:10:19. > :10:22.offered by one of the people there a line of powder. We will not show
:10:23. > :10:31.that specifically, but in this footage, we can see a ?10 note and
:10:32. > :10:34.he goes over and he snorts that a drug. It is also claimed by the
:10:35. > :10:37.paper that the group he was with found in a thousand maxi memorabilia

:10:47. > :10:46.historical items from all over the world.
:10:47. > :10:58.he says this happened in only one occasion and was on sick leave and
:10:59. > :11:03.suffering from depression and has taken a leave of absence from the
:11:04. > :11:06.church. We have also had a statement from the Bishop of Birmingham or who
:11:07. > :11:11.said that for the Crossan asked for the leave of absence at the start of
:11:12. > :11:15.this month and he has been receiving counselling and is considering his
:11:16. > :11:18.future. He also made it clear that he is concerned for Father Crossan's

:11:29. > :11:32.a quarter past three this afternoon. The victim's condition in hospital
:11:33. > :11:36.is described as serious. Counting is still going
:11:37. > :11:37.on in constituences As our Dublin correspondent
:11:38. > :11:54.Shane Harrison reports, the formation of a new Government
:11:55. > :12:09.is likely to be drawn-out with no Day three in the Republic election
:12:10. > :12:13.count. The people have spoken, but it is not quite clear what they have
:12:14. > :12:18.said. The only two parties that would have a working majority as a
:12:19. > :12:23.coalition of Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. Both centrist, with origins in
:12:24. > :12:28.the Civil War of the early 1920s. There is growing opposition within
:12:29. > :12:35.Fianna Fail and to any arrangement with police. Some may see this as a
:12:36. > :12:38.reconcilable similarities. A former Taoiseach is not ruling out another
:12:39. > :12:42.election next year as he sees no prospects of the two parties working
:12:43. > :12:50.together, not even on what was called a strategy when in the 80s, a
:12:51. > :12:53.minority Fianna Fail administration was supported into budgetary
:12:54. > :12:57.decisions. I think a grand coalition I do not see. I just do not see it.
:12:58. > :13:04.They might be different in a month, but I don't see it now. They had a
:13:05. > :13:09.strategy which is minority support for a Government. An arrangement
:13:10. > :13:13.like that I can see. If a Fianna Fail was the big winning the
:13:14. > :13:17.election, rising almost Lazarus like from the near dead, then Fine Gael
:13:18. > :13:22.and labour, the outgoing coalition, were the losers. Among those not
:13:23. > :13:26.returned whether Fine Gael deputy leader and Minister for children's
:13:27. > :13:31.affairs. We are a gate country great people and have shown we have a
:13:32. > :13:35.stronger backbone in terms of surviving processions and what
:13:36. > :13:41.people want to see in our is a recovery that does hit every door
:13:42. > :13:46.and gets into every family home. The Dail will meet on March the tend to
:13:47. > :13:49.choose a speaker. For the first time this will happen by secret ballot.
:13:50. > :13:53.If Bertie Ahern is correct, it will be a least another month before I
:13:54. > :13:59.knew Government is formed and a tea shop collected. -- teashop.
:14:00. > :14:02.The Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has dismissed any suggestion
:14:03. > :14:04.he's disappointed at his party's results and insists
:14:05. > :14:09.While it made gains in a number of areas, there was one setback
:14:10. > :14:10.in County Donegal where it lost a seat.
:14:11. > :14:13.Our Political Correspondent Stephen Walker was at Gerry Adams' Louth
:14:14. > :14:16.count over the weekend and assesses what this election means
:14:17. > :14:28.Sinn Fein's vote has gone up, nearly doubling in the nine years and the
:14:29. > :14:33.parties now the third largest in the Republic. Over the weekend in Louth,
:14:34. > :14:38.there was much to celebrate with the re-election of Gerry Adams and
:14:39. > :14:43.victory for an older Munster, their area's first ever woman TD. Gerry
:14:44. > :14:47.Adams says his party's performance is the best in his lifetime and one
:14:48. > :14:54.of a number of seats that he expected to win he has won. But
:14:55. > :14:59.could they have done better? Some commentators .com parent our turnout
:15:00. > :15:02.with their opinion polls. But the only real opinion poll is on the
:15:03. > :15:07.day. What do you think you could have done better? You can always do
:15:08. > :15:12.better. I loved that we had a majority, but that takes time. There
:15:13. > :15:15.were Sinn Fein successes in places like Limerick, Waterford and
:15:16. > :15:18.Wexford. In Donegal, only one candidate was elected, despite three
:15:19. > :15:24.being on the ballot paper which the party knew was a gamble. You say it
:15:25. > :15:29.is. Why? When you stand three candidates and you're looking to
:15:30. > :15:36.manage the vote, it puts the other TD's in jeopardy. So how should we
:15:37. > :15:41.assess that Sinn Fein's performance? They have 14 TDs, that is a success
:15:42. > :15:45.story. They bowled on that base all the time. Given the rise in how well
:15:46. > :15:51.the hard left have done, I think there will be disappointed that they
:15:52. > :15:55.haven't gone closer to the 30 mark. Some political commentators have
:15:56. > :16:00.suggested that Gerry Adams's media performances during the campaign and
:16:01. > :16:05.his leadership or restricting the party's growth. Gerry Adams, in my
:16:06. > :16:14.opinion, when you look at the people who criticise and he felt -- either
:16:15. > :16:18.from the political establishment or elsewhere, they forget the work he
:16:19. > :16:21.has done in bringing peace. Political uncertainty in the
:16:22. > :16:24.Republic says -- means it could take another Paula for a working
:16:25. > :16:26.Government can be formed. Gerry Adams says his party is on an
:16:27. > :16:28.election footing. Our political editor Mark Devenport
:16:29. > :16:30.is in Dublin for us. These last ten seats seem to be
:16:31. > :16:41.taking a lot of time, That is fair enough. We did get some
:16:42. > :16:47.movement within the last hour or so. Not here, but an Wexford where
:16:48. > :16:51.Fianna Fail got a few more TDs declared. We are still waiting for
:16:52. > :16:53.eight seats in places like Dublin bay north. The process of the
:16:54. > :16:56.recount seems to be glacially slow. So far as the talks of forming
:16:57. > :17:09.a Government are concerned, Well, we have already heard there in
:17:10. > :17:13.the report from Bertie Ahern, appearing to rule out a grand
:17:14. > :17:18.coalition between Fianna Fail and Fine Gael because of those historic
:17:19. > :17:22.differences and the opposition within Fianna Fail's grass roots. He
:17:23. > :17:25.has also done on the notion of minority Government, but it didn't
:17:26. > :17:30.go one of those options, you do need to go for a fresh election. Those
:17:31. > :17:33.big traditional parties do not want to see a realignment in Irish
:17:34. > :17:37.politics where they form one block and the likes of Sinn Fein and the
:17:38. > :17:39.newer parties to the left formerly of the block. They do not want to
:17:40. > :17:41.usher in a new era in that sense. Fianna Fail stressing not just
:17:42. > :17:54.the need to form a government, How realistic is that change? Well,
:17:55. > :17:58.it has been said that talks on a reforming the Dail, making it more
:17:59. > :18:01.independent of the Government of the day should precede any talks on
:18:02. > :18:06.forming a Government. If you are cynical com you may suggest this was
:18:07. > :18:09.a convenient siding for him to shunt things into. But what is may allow
:18:10. > :18:13.the parties to do is talk about issues rather than directly about
:18:14. > :18:16.forming a Government and somewhere down the road, one of talks a segue
:18:17. > :18:19.into the other. Thank Mark. The police have been granted more
:18:20. > :18:22.time to question three men about the murder of a man
:18:23. > :18:25.in south Belfast last week. 28-year-old Stephen Carson was shot
:18:26. > :18:29.at his house in Walmer Street in front of his partner
:18:30. > :18:33.and young son. Eight people have been arrested
:18:34. > :18:35.by police officers investigating The seven men and one woman are aged
:18:36. > :18:55.between 22 and 52. It is not every day we have a local

:19:07. > :19:14.He now holds the IBF and WBC superbantamweight crown after his

:19:26. > :19:44.on a job well done. He's made a real sacrifices for
:19:45. > :19:48.this. It may have been Manchester, but with thousands of farmers are
:19:49. > :19:54.making the trip, it felt like Belfast. Frampton was in control.
:19:55. > :20:00.With so much on the line at though, he wasn't taking any risks. --
:20:01. > :20:04.neither fighter was taking any risks. This was the most telling
:20:05. > :20:09.blow, Scott quick revealed after that the punch-up broken his jaw.
:20:10. > :20:17.Knowing he needed a knockout to win, the Bury man up the intensity of the
:20:18. > :20:29.night belonged to Frampton. -- put the night. What next to him? There
:20:30. > :20:34.were loads of options. I said all along, I have a few feelers put out
:20:35. > :20:46.already, that is difficult end of the year. I want to defend the world
:20:47. > :20:53.title. He has always supported us at Windsor, so it is about time. What a
:20:54. > :21:02.performance. What is on your wish list? Santa Cruz is fond of him. He
:21:03. > :21:10.has the WBC, he'll go to America for that. In the other dressing room,
:21:11. > :21:17.Wayne Rooney, sold and injected Scott quick. He, Governor to --
:21:18. > :21:26.uppercut. It put a spanner in the works. I had to re-evaluate things
:21:27. > :21:32.and see how painful it was. Would you like another go at him? It was
:21:33. > :21:37.the uppercut. I'm talking so you know, and I can't hear out of this
:21:38. > :21:42.year. My joy is cracking but it is what it is. Two bells. His unbeaten
:21:43. > :21:47.record now, is any stopping Carl Frampton? -- is there any stopping.
:21:48. > :21:52.Jonathan Rea made the perfect to the start to the defence
:21:53. > :21:53.of his world superbike title in Australia.
:21:54. > :21:57.Rea is aiming to emulate the achievement of Carl Fogarty,
:21:58. > :22:00.who successfully defended his title twice in the 1990s.

:22:50. > :22:53.nervous! You have to play first game at some stage and where better
:22:54. > :22:59.stadium to play? Today will be a bit emotional I suspect. I have
:23:00. > :23:03.waterproof mascara on today! Just in case. The Glasgow had a solid start
:23:04. > :23:07.to his international career, but the waterproof mascara was needed for
:23:08. > :23:10.pretty much anyone else wearing green. It could have been different
:23:11. > :23:15.had Ireland taken chances. But they didn't and England did. They can
:23:16. > :23:20.only reflect now on what might have been. At this level, you will not
:23:21. > :23:24.get loads and loads of chances. You have to take as many as you can. One
:23:25. > :23:30.return up from six or seven is a have to take as many as you can. One
:23:31. > :23:34.disappointing for us. When you come to England and always stash my goal
:23:35. > :23:40.penalty will never be enough. That's what happened today. England won and
:23:41. > :23:43.Ireland lost. From an English perspective, the grand slam
:23:44. > :23:44.expectations remain alive but I'll's grip on the six Nations trophy is
:23:45. > :23:54.over. Ulster remain fourth in the table
:23:55. > :23:57.after a defeat at Cardiff yesterday, but are now fighting
:23:58. > :23:59.for a place in the Play-Offs, as well as the European
:24:00. > :24:01.Rugby Champions Cup. A Craig Gilroy try gave Ulster
:24:02. > :24:04.a ten-point lead early But Cardiff fought back through two
:24:05. > :24:07.quick-fire tries in the closing minutes and snatched
:24:08. > :24:15.a 23-13 victory. Crusaders remain top
:24:16. > :24:17.of the Danskebank Premiership, but they relied on a late penalty
:24:18. > :24:24.to rescue a point in a one-all And there was penalty drama
:24:25. > :24:30.at Windsor Park where Linfield keeper Ross Glendenning saw red,
:24:31. > :24:32.but defender Mark Haughey put on the gloves and saved
:24:33. > :24:34.Kevin Braniff's spot-kick In Gaelic Football's
:24:35. > :24:37.Allianz League, Donegal were impressive winners against Mayo
:24:38. > :24:39.and Tyrone won again while Armagh beat Fermanagh
:24:40. > :24:42.by a single point. A final round of 69 saw
:24:43. > :24:46.Graeme McDowell finish fifth at the Honda Classic
:24:47. > :24:50.and the Belfast Giants are third in the Elite League,
:24:51. > :24:52.after two wins at the weekend, And that was a very
:24:53. > :25:00.busy weekend in sport. And when many of us woke up
:25:01. > :25:04.to a new week this morning, And although the road was clear,
:25:05. > :25:14.motorists had to take extra care Cecilia Daly is there
:25:15. > :25:26.with the forecast. It is almost over. Today's the last
:25:27. > :25:33.day of winter, so it's appropriate there a bit of snow. Tomorrow is the
:25:34. > :25:38.start of a new month, a new season, but it doesn't mean march cannot be
:25:39. > :25:43.a bit wintry at times. March 2013 was when we had snow from most of
:25:44. > :25:49.the month. Don't be surprised if there is a bit obsolete or hill snow
:25:50. > :25:53.at times mixed in with rain. It will still be quite cold this week and
:25:54. > :25:59.unsettled. Not a particularly good week if you are looking for dry
:26:00. > :26:05.weather. But this morning, there was snow and ten nights, we have rain
:26:06. > :26:09.and some will be quite heavy. It is getting milder, temperatures are
:26:10. > :26:14.currently 6-7d. By the end of the night, the heavy rain will have
:26:15. > :26:19.moved on and temperatures will be up to 9-10d. A mild start tomorrow, but
:26:20. > :26:23.things will flip and it will get colder and quite wintry in places
:26:24. > :26:26.late in the day and particularly tomorrow night. By the time many
:26:27. > :26:32.it will be mild and breezy, it will be mild and breezy,
:26:33. > :26:34.temperatures around a camera-9 degrees. Bits and pieces and
:26:35. > :26:37.temperatures around a camera-9 and drizzle, no sleet, snow or ice,
:26:38. > :26:40.and it should dry and drizzle, no sleet, snow or ice,
:26:41. > :26:42.of the morning and even brighten up and drizzle, no sleet, snow or ice,
:26:43. > :26:46.a bit. And it's better compared to and drizzle, no sleet, snow or ice,
:26:47. > :26:50.today. Mild to begin with. But of the afternoon
:26:51. > :26:55.showers move in and temperatures fall. 4-5d by this time tomorrow.
:26:56. > :27:00.That means late indeed and particularly tomorrow evening and
:27:01. > :27:07.night, the showers. Still fall as sleet and snow again. There could be
:27:08. > :27:09.night, the showers. Still fall as a few centimetres of snow by
:27:10. > :27:10.Wednesday morning and quite icy conditions as temperatures drop to
:27:11. > :27:14.freezing or below. Wednesday morning could be another challenge was snow
:27:15. > :27:19.in places and not necessarily on the high hills. A real bite to the wind
:27:20. > :27:23.picking up. So do not pick -- back away our coats and wellies yet,
:27:24. > :27:28.because there is still cold weather to come. It will rain, but weather
:27:29. > :27:32.systems will bring more rain on Thursday and it is back to the
