Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline: The man accused | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
of murdering 29 people in the Omagh bombing is released from jail | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
We've been hearing the reaction of some families whose loved ones | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
I think that is the last man that will be within eight courts. The | :00:30. | :00:42. | |
sense of justice has never really been there. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
appearing to agree with the comment "Get the ethnics out". | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
There are fresh calls for an inquiry into the sale | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
of Nama's Northern Ireland loan portfolio. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
The Calais refugee crisis and the nine-year-old from Portadown | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
It was scary seeing everybody in the with her family at the camp. | :00:58. | :01:13. | |
Is Premier League football star Chris Brunt set to miss | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
the European Championship Finals this summer with Northern Ireland? | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
And the first day of spring but the weather will turn a decidedly wintry | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
tonight. There are warnings for snow and ice across Northern Ireland. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Find out how this will affect you, late in the programme. -- later in | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
the programme. The case against a man accused | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
of murdering 29 people in the Real IRA bomb attack in Omagh | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
in 1998 has collapsed. Seamus Daly, who is 45 | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
and from Jonesborough in County Armagh, was also accused | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
of causing the explosion. Mr Daly had always | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
denied the charges. There's some flash photography | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
in this report from our home affairs Seamus Daly was released from prison | :01:52. | :02:06. | |
this afternoon. He was not happy to be greeted by the media. | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
this afternoon. He was not happy to almost two years in custody, charged | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
with the Omagh bombing and other offences. He was called last week | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
for a hearing enough evidence for the case against | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
him to proceed. It was not in court in Ballymena today when a | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
prosecution lawyer announced the ant is about question was Noel. -- the | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Amazon. is about question was Noel. -- the | :02:35. | :02:43. | |
judge who heard evidence about the case last week was due to announce | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
today if it would continue. But the decision was taken out of his hands | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
today if it would continue. But the when a lawyer said that the case no | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
longer met the test for prosecution. The prosecution had relied upon a | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
star witness to link Seamus Daly to a mobile phone that used by the | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Omagh bombers. He told them that Seamus Daly had called them from | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
that phone on the day. Butchering court hearings last week he conceded | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
he made a mistake and because the call could take place a week | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
earlier. I that point, the prosecution case fell apart. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Relatives of some of those killed in the bombing were in court when it | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
was announced the charges against Seamus Daly were being withdrawn. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Afterwards, they said they were frustrated and angry. We just feel | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
that this was the last chance for justice for ahmad-macro. -- Omagh. | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
And that is now over. And that is quite difficult to deal with. Very | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
difficult to deal with. They also said they had always had serious | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
concerns about the key witness and questioned the decision by | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
prosecutors to take the case to court on the basis of his evidence. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
We did not express our concerns and if these people have read all the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
statements and compared them, I don't know. I think they are in the | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
wrong job. Seamus Daly's solicitor also questioned the decision to take | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
the case to court and said the prosecution service and police have | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
questions to answer. The prosecution against the defendant, Seamus Daly, | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
was based on a house of straw. 29 people were killed when a bomb went | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
almost a quarter of eight and a devastated Omagh town centre in | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
August 19 98. More than 200 others were also injured in the blast, just | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
four months after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. No one has | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
been convicted of the attack and relatives of those killed and do not | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
believe anyone ever will. The bullet prosecution service says there are | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
ongoing lines of inquiry -- the public prosecution service -- that | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
the police plan to submit anything new at this stage. Nearly 18 years | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
after the single worst atrocity of the troubles, the likelihood of | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
convicting the killers appears more remote than ever. | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
Our reporter in the south west Julian Fowler is in | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Julian, what been the reaction there? | :05:13. | :05:22. | |
The Director of Public Prosecutions Bara McGrory said he has great | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
sympathy with the families and shares their disappointment. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
I've been speaking to the sister of Alan Radford who was 16 years | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
old when he was killed on the street behind me. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Claire Monteith told me she's angry but not shocked, | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
as she believed it was inevitable the case would collapse. | :05:42. | :05:51. | |
Personally, I think that is the last man that will be in a court. The | :05:52. | :05:59. | |
sense of justice has never really been there for myself or the | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
majority of my family. They felt the same. So it is just moving on from | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
this. And to know there will never be a definite closure or a definite | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
conviction is just... We will just have to leave it. I wouldn't say I | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
accept it, but to be able to just live with it and know that is the | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
way it is going to be. Anybody that has been active, as my family was | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
for many years, but then they were within the civil action within the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Justice route, anybody will know the truth. They know the truth behind it | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
all. We know what. I do not see the point for a public inquiry. I do not | :06:48. | :06:55. | |
support the calls for it. The truth we already know is what will be | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
their, apart from people saying we have wasted millions of pounds. It | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
doesn't get any easier, no matter how many years this goes on, it | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
never gets any easier. If like I say come you learn to live with it to a | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
certain degree. I don't accept his death. I will never forgive, nor | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
will I ever forget. The PPS said they and the police | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
share a determination to prosecute those responsible if any | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
new evidence to support But after 18 years that seems | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
a remote possibility. And there could be more bad | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
news for the families. Seamus Daly was one of four men | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
found liable in a civil hearing. That judgment will now be appealed | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
as his lawyer said much of the evidence was provided | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
by the same key witness who had been due to give evidence | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
in the criminal trial. The DUP MP Sammy Wilson has been | :07:48. | :07:58. | |
filmed appearing to agree with the comment "get | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
the ethnics out". Mr Wlson was taking part in a BBC | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Spotlight programme last month when he had a conversation with | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
a man out of the reporter's earshot. Last month, Sammy Wilson and I were | :08:09. | :08:25. | |
filming for tonight's BBC Spotlight about the referendum. Sammy Wilson, | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
who was wearing a personal microphone had a conversation with a | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
member of the public out of my earshot. It was about whether we | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
should stay in the European Union or stay out. Are you with me? Between | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
EU me, get the ethnics out. You're absolutely right! After we had | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
viewed the footage, Spotlight asked why he had appeared to agree with | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
the man's comments, in response, Mr Wilson asked if the BBC was and I | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
quote, having a laugh. He went on to say I'm not prepared to spend any | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
more time being interviewed, giving explanations or responding to what | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
anyone would regard as a disgraced full request to facilitate your | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
biased political slant. Mr Wilson has been criticised by the Alliance | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Party, the SDLP and the Ulster Unionists. Mike Nesbitt said he | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
found the exchange between a man and Samuelson stomach churning. In a | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
statement this morning, the DUP said that... | :09:29. | :09:40. | |
Samuelson said he agreed with the man's comments on the European Union | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
and not what he said about ethnic minorities. I agreed with his | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
comments about leaving the EU, not the comments he made about the | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
ethnic communities. I don't have anything to withdraw, because I | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
didn't agree with him. Tonight's Spotlight is on BBC One at 10:45pm. | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
You're watching BBC Newsline, still to come on the programme: | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
A new mother who was sectioned under the Mental Health Act says more | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
needs to be done to help women who suffer from depression | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
There have been fresh calls for an independent inquiry | :10:15. | :10:23. | |
into the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland loan portfolio | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
following revelations in a BBC Spotlight programme. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
The property loans were sold for more than one billion | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
Last night's programme focused on claims made by the businessman | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
Frank Cushnahan who acted as an advisor to Nama. | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Here's our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell. | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
The sale of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio was the biggest property | :10:51. | :11:01. | |
deal evident on this soil. This man, Frank Cushnahan, was deeply | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
involved. He had been appointed to Nama's Northern Ireland advisory | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
committee. But unknown to Nama, you had been talking to a US investment | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
fund which wanted to buy the portfolio. He was in line to receive | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
a ?5 million fee if the bid was successful. But Nama found out about | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
his role and it was so concerned the fee could undermine the integrity of | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
the sale, that they were effectively excluded. Another company then abort | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
the portfolio. Then assurances were given that no one connected with | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Nama, which would have included a Frank Cushnahan was to benefit from | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
that deal. But Spotlight has recorded Frank Cushnahan saying he | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
did work on the deal and expected to be paid and his role was | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
deliberately hidden from Nama. Nama said no. Then what happened? The | :11:55. | :12:04. | |
next was to get the next one on the pitch. | :12:05. | :12:17. | |
Stormont's finance committee has been examining the Nama deal and is | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
to publish the findings in the next few weeks. The committee will | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
discuss the implications of the Spotlight programme. But the problem | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
for us is that we are running out of time and the Assembly finishes in | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
three weeks and the focus is now the incoming finance committee and we | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
need to pick up where we leaving. The company have repeated their | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
never sought advice from all paid Frank Cushnahan. Nama say they have | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
dealt with these issues extensively and have nothing fresh to add. But | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
questions about this deal are not going away. Sinn Fein, the SDLP and | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
Alliance have all called for some form of cross-border inquiry. | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Members of Arlene Arkinson's family have told the inquest into her death | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
of the pain caused by her disappearance. | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
The 15-year-old was reported missing after a night out in August 1994. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
The man suspected of killing her, Robert Howard, died | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
He'd been convicted of murdering a teenager in London. | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
A family living with years of pain caused by the loss of the little | :13:21. | :13:34. | |
sister. Her eldest brother Martin said they had suffered a badly. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
Arlene had been living with him, his wife and baby when she went missing. | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
He described how smart, a bit of a handful, but with no harm in her. He | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
was sure he said that rumours she was pregnant were wrong. He told the | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
court... Later, his brother Adrian took the | :13:52. | :14:05. | |
court. -- stand. They later heard how he had confronted Robert Howard | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
on two separate occasions about it is to's disappearance. Howard had | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
replied, I never touched her and denied murdering her. Arlene's | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
sister Paula explained about nine and 99 calls she made to the police | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
about the case in 2008, at a time she was suffering from depression | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
and extreme stress. But she went on to say... | :14:27. | :14:38. | |
It has been a difficult day of evidence for the Arc in the summer | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
family, remembering the loss of Arlene and also having way to more | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
than 21 years to be able to tell their story in courts. There will be | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
more evidence from family members in coming days. | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
Some of the other stories in the news this evening. | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Nine people have been arrested in an operation | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
against the accessing of indecent images of children online. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
Searches and arrests were carried out across Northern Ireland | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
by the PSNI and the National Crime Agency. | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
They say steps have also been taken to protect a number of children | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
There was uproar in Belfast Magistrates' Court when two men | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
charged with last week's murder of Stephen Carson in south Belfast | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
appeared in the dock while relatives of the victim | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
37-year-old Michael Smith from Ardmonagh Gardens in Belfast | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
and David Smith, aged 32, from Monagh Drive, also in the city, | :15:33. | :15:34. | |
were remanded in custody to appear via video link later this month. | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
The police have begun an investigation after footage | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
emerged of a Catholic priest caught on video snorting what appeared | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
The Sun on Sunday reported Father Stephen Crossan took the drug | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
during a night of drinking last year in Banbridge. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
He's taken leave from the priesthood. | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
We're used to hearing about the dreadful conditions | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
at the refugee camps in Europe, but tonight we hear from the family | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
from Portadown who spent a week there trying to help. | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
The bulldozers moved in yesterday to the same camp and Tara Mills has | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
been speaking to the family about their experience | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
A child's bookie, abandoned. Unable to continue its journey because of | :16:19. | :16:32. | |
the mud. The rubbish piled high with nowhere to watch, store food or live | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
anything close to a normal life. And it was a normal life this family | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
left a fortnight ago to go and help, including the youngest child, | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
Nicole, who is nine years old. It was scary seeing everybody in the | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
tents and all the snow. It was a very nice to see all the things on | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
the ground and it was very muddy. I felt very sad for them. It felt good | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
to help them. I gave them that he and coffee and there was a pulpit | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
there and we got to play with them with a little boy. What was his | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
name? Sam. Her mum, Paula, defended the decision to take. People said | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
children shouldn't be there, but they can do a lot as we noticed when | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
we took hours out with those. Her dad had been up before Christmas and | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
he knew it was safe for us all to go out, so I was quite happy. Plus I | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
always had her by my side and did not let her go for a minute. The | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
family travelled in their camper van and said it became a makeshift soup | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
kitchen and somewhere for people to sit and talk. Living conditions that | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
you wouldn't keep animals in. You would do time if you kept animals in | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
that condition. Sadly, it was the camp they visited that was partially | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
dismantled yesterday, something the family finds deeply upsetting | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
considering what little the refugees had has now been taken away. They | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
also worry about what will happen to the children who have no parents to | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
look after them. Some of the kids Nicole was playing with, it was | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
scary, because they had had no fear, they had learned how to say axel in | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
English, because they wanted to climb on one and get into the UK. | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
One thing is certain, everybody in the family says they will go back | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
and Nicole says she cannot stop thinking about the friends she made. | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
I'm thinking about the way they have to sleep and how I've got a bed. It | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
is clear the plight of the refugees has affected his family and they say | :18:46. | 2:50:53 | |
they are not has affected his family and they say | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
and do nothing. Next we're focusing once again | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
on the severe depression suffered by women before and | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
after they give birth. One of them has told us it's now | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
critical that Northern Ireland has a specialist mother and baby unit | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
to treat such cases. Maria Derbyshire contacted us | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
after our report last week After having her baby | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
she was sectioned, that is, placed in hospital under | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
the Mental Health Act. Today she joined health | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |

Marie-Louise Connolly has At the moment, life is good for | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
Maria Darbyshire. But it has not always been the case, as she has | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
suffered from chronic postnatal mental illness. After my first DD, | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
life was very good. -- after my first baby. Then life fell apart, I | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
had all these delusions and hallucinations, things I went | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
through at the time, that was my reality. I ended up being sectioned. | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |

Such an announcement means the other regions including here should | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
benefit. This afternoon, Maria travelled to Stormont to join health | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
professionals lobbying for the money to be made available. We would | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
really like to see that investment to ring fenced for services for | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
women here in Northern Ireland and the development of a very good, | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
specialist services, both in the community and the mother and baby | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
unit. Listening worthy MLAs who sit on the all-party group on mental | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
health care. Some trusts are better than others, that is apparent. We | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
need a regional approach, because 20% of women will suffer some sort | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
of mental health issue during pregnancy or within a year of giving | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
birth. That needs to be tackled and needs to be tackled as part of an | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
overall strategy. Maria said she will continue to lobby for | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
specialist services. The next stop is the health minister. -- her next | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
stop. These old rifles have been uncovered | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
more than a hundred years after they were smuggled into Larne | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
to arm the Ulster Volunteer Force. The discovery was made | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
in an Orange Hall in Belfast as a disused room | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
was being cleared out. Our Investigations Reporter Kevin | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
Magee has been for a look. The gunners were discovered | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
side Clifton Street Orange Hall in a purpose built part of the building. | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
This is the actual cupboard and purpose built part of the building. | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
can see we prised it opened. And when we opened it, we said, | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
can see we prised it opened. And goodness. Though the words were a | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
bit stronger. We closed it goodness. Though the words were a | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
wondered what we had found. Many it was shock, horror. It contained ten | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
arrivals wrapped in linen. All were in excellent condition. -- rifles. | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
These represent a direct link with our past. Though part of an illegal | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
consignment of around 25,000 German rifles that were landed in Larne | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
Harbour at the height of the home rule crisis in 1914. The gunners | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
were all stamped properly of the Ulster Volunteer Force. They were | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
actually sent from Larne to the nine counties of Ulster. Over the years, | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
number of them turned up in the church floor boards for example and | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
in Orange halls. Most were shipped to England in the late 1930s to hop | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
on Britain's Home Guard. The police took them away, deactivate them | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
returning to the Orange Order. The guns will be housed within our | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
exhibition space in the hall. There is already a great interest and | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
people are keen to see them. Hopefully, it will be a resort for | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
everyone. The weapons are now classified as antiques and do not | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
require a firearms licence. Now sport, and potentially bad news | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
for Northern Ireland ahead of this Yes, unfortunately it looks like it | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
is. Northern Ireland International Chris | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
Brunt looks set to miss He was carried off during the first | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
half of West Bromich Albion's game against Crystal palace | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |

serious enough to see him As his international manager | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
Michael O'Neill faces an anxious wait, Brunt's club manager | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |

to play three times. There are the top of the game, it is | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
not an easy game. And the good thing is we are hitting our stride in the | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |

with Cecilia Daly. And by the look of your globe, | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
Cecilia, we are in for an icy forecast? Yes, it is not unusual to | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
get snow in March. You can literally get all four seasons in one day in | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
March. People have been known to get sunburnt on Saint Patrick's Day. But | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
this is a typical early spring picture, newborn lambs nestling into | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
their mother. They will have a hard night tonight, because the swirl of | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
cloud you can see here is the latest storm. It is storm Jake. It will | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
come to the Republic of Ireland and parts of South West Britain tonight | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
and tomorrow, so we are not worried about particularly strong winds, but | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
the impact of the storm also down cold air is so snow and ice warnings | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
will come into effect later this evening. It is cold and dry at the | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
moment, sleet and snow will move into northern areas, but by the end | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
of the night, there could be a covering of snow just about | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
anywhere. Also a risk of ice as temperatures dropped close to | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
freezing. Give yourself extra time in the morning, because it could be | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
covered in snow anywhere. The most snow will be over the hills, | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
particularly across Londonderry and Antrim. So, your commute tomorrow | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
morning could be quite nasty with snow falling and online game places. | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
Even may need to brush it off your car or defrosted, it will feel | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
bitterly cold and quite a brisk wind and temperatures only a couple of | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
degrees above freezing. Icy conditions in places. As the morning | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
goes on, the worst of the snow showers will move away and sunshine | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
comes through and it will be a little less cold. The rain and sleet | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
as the day goes on, but still very cold and strong winds. More strong | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
winds to come tomorrow night, showers are moving away and | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
temperatures will drop close to freezing. Thursday will be more | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
springlike, at least bit of sunshine around, dry for a time before the | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
system brings rain and rain and maybe Summerhill snow once again. So | 2:50:54 | 2:50:53 | |
tomorrow morning, be careful in all that ice and snow. From us, goodbye. | 2:50:54 | 2:50:54 |
