The death of prison officer Adrian Ismay -

:00:17.:00:19.

a man appears in court charged with his murder.

:00:20.:00:27.

There are calls for Stormont to get involved to solve problems over St

:00:28.:00:32.

Patrick's Day parties in South Belfast.

:00:33.:00:34.

The lead detective in the Arlene Arkinson murder case

tells her inquest he destroyed all his notes relating

:00:37.:00:39.

The Attorney-General John Larkin says the Easter Rising

:00:40.:00:43.

was profoundly wrong and undemocratic.

:00:44.:00:50.

Predictions of falling wages across the UK -

:00:51.:00:54.

It's been another day of Irish success at

:00:55.:01:01.

And there's plenty of dry weather in the forecast this weekend

:01:02.:01:05.

Good evening and welcome to the programme.

:01:06.:01:14.

A second postmortem is to be carried out on the body of the murdered

:01:15.:01:18.

He died on Tuesday from what the prosecution say

:01:19.:01:23.

were complications caused by the injuries he suffered

:01:24.:01:27.

after a device exploded under his van.

:01:28.:01:30.

The details emerged when a 45-year-old man appeared

:01:31.:01:33.

Dan Stanton was there for BBC Newsline.

:01:34.:01:44.

Adrian Ismay was seriously injured when a device exploded under his

:01:45.:01:50.

blue vans in East Belfast on the morning of the 4th of March.

:01:51.:01:54.

After the attack, he was treated in hospital for his injuries

:01:55.:01:56.

for a number of days and then released.

:01:57.:01:58.

It was while he was home that he suffered a heart

:01:59.:02:01.

Today in court, the man charged with his attempted murder

:02:02.:02:04.

Christopher Robinson was asked to stand up whereas the new charge of

:02:05.:02:12.

murder was put to him. He refused to stand up and didn't say anything in

:02:13.:02:14.

reaction. The 45-year-old from Aspen Walk

:02:15.:02:15.

was flanked during the proceedings by three security guards who stood

:02:16.:02:17.

in the dock, and three armed police officers who stood at the door

:02:18.:02:20.

of the court. A detective sergeant told the court

:02:21.:02:24.

he could connect the accused He also said that a preliminary

:02:25.:02:27.

autopsy report said that the cause of death was by a blood clot due

:02:28.:02:32.

to deep-vein thrombosis following the injuries

:02:33.:02:35.

to the prison officer's legs. A defence solicitor said a second

:02:36.:02:47.

autopsy would be carried out on the body of Adrian Ismay. The details of

:02:48.:02:51.

that are expected in the next few days.

:02:52.:02:53.

Stormont Ministers are being urged to intervene directly to stop

:02:54.:02:56.

St Patrick's Day violence breaking out in the Holyland area of Belfast

:02:57.:02:59.

The police made 11 arrests in the city yesterday,

:03:00.:03:04.

and a South Belfast residents' group says the clean-up and security

:03:05.:03:08.

The longer Saint Patrick Day went on, the bigger the crowd got. There

:03:09.:03:29.

was none of the violence which scarred the previous night, but it

:03:30.:03:37.

was noisy and messy. A local residents group says Stormont has to

:03:38.:03:40.

take action to stop it happening again next air. OFM DFM, they are

:03:41.:03:47.

going to America to get jobs, how does this look on American TV?

:03:48.:03:57.

We have an acceptable level of anti-social behaviour.

:03:58.:03:59.

Every night during termtime in the year, drunkenness,

:04:00.:04:01.

It's like it used to be in the Troubles, there

:04:02.:04:03.

We are told it cost ?2 million, which

:04:04.:04:07.

covers the cost of senior university staff out on the ground on the day,

:04:08.:04:10.

security staff, police and this massive

:04:11.:04:11.

Among those helping with the clean-up was Declan Boyle.

:04:12.:04:15.

He is a Belfast city councillor and also a landlord in the area.

:04:16.:04:18.

Should you not be doing more to police your tenants?

:04:19.:04:20.

You tell me what you would like me to do.

:04:21.:04:23.

For a start, you could make sure they're

:04:24.:04:26.

not drinking on the street, not dropping litter.

:04:27.:04:27.

The drinking on the street is the responsibility

:04:28.:04:32.

of the council, the PSNI but more the council.

:04:33.:04:34.

That is their responsibility, not mine.

:04:35.:04:42.

Belfast City Council recently cut back the number of security cameras

:04:43.:04:50.

in the area. Some believe more CCTV would help but others say they have

:04:51.:04:57.

a better idea. If we had enough parents out there, those kids would

:04:58.:05:01.

know they couldn't behave that way. This isn't rocket science. It was a

:05:02.:05:07.

difficult night for the emergency services. A paramedic was assaulted

:05:08.:05:12.

by a drunk teenager who had fallen on the street. While she was

:05:13.:05:16.

treating the patient she was kicked in the stomach and spat at and as a

:05:17.:05:20.

result she had to be added to hospital. Back in the Holyland, the

:05:21.:05:27.

clean-up and a search for answers goes on.

:05:28.:05:30.

The reality is there is no easy solution

:05:31.:05:32.

to the issues around St Patrick's Day here.

:05:33.:05:34.

No matter who you talk to, that's one thing everyone agrees on.

:05:35.:05:37.

But Stormont ministers say they are taking the problem seriously and

:05:38.:05:41.

they will talk to residents. Londonderry also sought crumble

following the same Patrick's Day parade. What happened? Police say

:06:00.:06:07.

around 13 people were arrested due to disorderly behaviour, indecent

:06:08.:06:13.

behaviour, common assault and resisting police officers. They say

:06:14.:06:19.

a 17-year-old was arrested and was being questioned in connection with

:06:20.:06:22.

a stabbing in Grafton Street in Rosemount. We understand an

:06:23.:06:28.

18-year-old man sustained hand injuries and the police will follow

:06:29.:06:32.

that up but police in the city were at pains to put this into the

:06:33.:06:37.

overall perspective of the day, when they say something in the order of

:06:38.:06:43.

17,000 people work out enjoying the same Patrick's Day festivities. They

are tendered the main carnival parade around the city centre, it

was a family parade around the city centre, it

were no reports of trouble at that. Police say most of the trouble was

:06:56.:07:00.

in the evening, from people who were heavily intoxicant.

:07:01.:07:06.

And it was also a busy day for staff at Altnagelvin hospital?

:07:07.:07:11.

Yes, the western trust have confirmed that St Patrick's Day is

:07:12.:07:16.

traditionally busy for staff and yesterday was no different, 172

:07:17.:07:24.

people were treated at A Hospital authorities say a disproportionate

:07:25.:07:28.

number work for assaults but they could not give a breakdown of

:07:29.:07:31.

figures as regarding the people who turned up and whether that was

:07:32.:07:37.

solely related to St Patrick's Day, but it was a very busy day for

:07:38.:07:43.

medical staff at Attlee Galvan. -- asthma Galvan.

:07:44.:07:45.

The former senior detective who led the investigation

:07:46.:07:47.

into the disappearance of Arlene Atkinson has told

:07:48.:07:49.

the inquest into her death that he destroyed all of his notes

:07:50.:07:52.

Eric Anderson also said he arrested the child killer Robert Howard six

:07:53.:07:56.

weeks into his investigation but had no option but to release him.

:07:57.:08:00.

Eric Anderson, seen here, gave evidence to the inquest

:08:01.:08:10.

The inquest was told he was ill and this was the only way

:08:11.:08:15.

Responding to questions by counsel for the coroner, Mr Anderson said

:08:16.:08:18.

How did you destroy your journals? or journals relating

:08:19.:08:31.

How did you destroy your journals? He was asked. By burning and

:08:32.:08:32.

How did you destroy your journals? shredding them, he said. The rules

:08:33.:08:34.

require you shredding them, he said. The rules

:08:35.:08:40.

years after retirement. Asked if he had kept copies, he said no. He was

:08:41.:08:46.

asked if he thought it would be useful at a later date but he said

:08:47.:08:53.

at the time he was under serious threat and it was decided that

:08:54.:08:57.

destroying them was the wiser thing to do.

:08:58.:08:58.

Robert Howard, who was widely suspected of killing

:08:59.:09:00.

Arlene Arkinson, was arrested six weeks after her disappearance.

:09:01.:09:05.

Eric Anderson said it was his decision to arrest Howard because

:09:06.:09:12.

his inquiry pointed strongly to Howard killing our lane. He could

:09:13.:09:17.

not remember the reasons, and asked why Howard was not arrested earlier,

:09:18.:09:23.

Mr Anderson said he was snowed under with information and wanted to get

:09:24.:09:27.

more information on how word to build a case and get him to confess

:09:28.:09:29.

where the body was. Howard was later

:09:30.:09:31.

released and free to go. Mr Anderson was asked if he had any

:09:32.:09:33.

concerns about this. "It was the only decision

:09:34.:09:35.

open to us", he said. It also emerged that the then

:09:36.:09:38.

Chief Constable, Sir Hugh Annesley, ordered a search of the home

:09:39.:09:44.

and garden of Kathleen Arkinson, Eric Anderson will continue giving

:09:45.:09:47.

evidence to the inquest next month. Still to come on the programme:

:09:48.:09:55.

Protestors opposing a controversial exploratory oil well

:09:56.:10:01.

in County Antrim are told they no Northern Ireland's Attorney General

:10:02.:10:04.

is no stranger to controversy. Now John Larkin has said

:10:05.:10:16.

the Easter Rising was profoundly He made the remarks in an interview

with a magazine examining Christian Here's our political

correspondent Gareth Gordon. In three days of fighting, much of

:10:27.:10:39.

the centre of Dublin went into ruins.

:10:40.:10:41.

Dublin 1916 and the aftermath of the Easter Rising,

:10:42.:10:43.

one of the pivotal events in modern Irish history.

:10:44.:10:48.

Rebels had been well organised, even to the extent of producing their own

:10:49.:10:53.

clandestine newspaper. A hundred years on, the centenary

:10:54.:10:55.

of these tumultuous events has produced a mountain of literature,

:10:56.:10:57.

including this publication looking at both what happened in Dublin

:10:58.:11:00.

and the Battle of the Somme from the perspective

:11:01.:11:02.

of the Christian faith. It includes an interview

:11:03.:11:05.

with the Attorney General, John Larkin, who says

:11:06.:11:07.

of the Easter Rising: It's a view likely to provoke strong

:11:08.:11:31.

reactions, both for and against. He's giving that as a legal

:11:32.:11:44.

perspective and it was great to have his voice as somebody who had

:11:45.:11:47.

studied that, but at the same time the bit most interesting to me is

:11:48.:11:53.

him saying that reconciliation is not possible without forgiveness and

:11:54.:11:58.

that requires God, so a number of interesting comments he made.

:11:59.:12:00.

John Larkin is not afraid of saying difficult things.

:12:01.:12:02.

He stirred controversy when he argued there should be

:12:03.:12:04.

an end to prosecutions for Troubles-related killings.

:12:05.:12:06.

Now he's offered a typically strident opinion on a violent event

:12:07.:12:08.

An American software company is to create 74 jobs

:12:09.:12:15.

in Northern Ireland over the next three years.

:12:16.:12:18.

The digital publishing platform HighWire Press will set up a centre

:12:19.:12:22.

in Belfast to house a technical team.

:12:23.:12:25.

The announcement coincides with a trip to the US by the First

:12:26.:12:28.

and Deputy First Ministers to promote Northern Ireland's

:12:29.:12:31.

The company says it's coming here mainly because of

:12:32.:12:36.

On a less positive note, there have been predictions

:12:37.:12:41.

of falling wages across the UK as the wider economy slows down.

:12:42.:12:47.

Wednesday's budget contained revised forecasts about growth,

:12:48.:12:51.

and that could spell bad news here, where pay compares poorly

:12:52.:12:54.

Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill can tell us more.

:12:55.:13:00.

Statistics tell us 2015 was the best period for pay increases

:13:01.:13:04.

A typical, full-time worker was said to earn ?25,000.

:13:05.:13:11.

But the future looks much less healthy, with the budget containing

:13:12.:13:15.

a downgrade of the UK's economic prospects.

:13:16.:13:19.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies, the leading London think tank,

:13:20.:13:23.

expects a national slowdown in wages growth and reduced living standards.

:13:24.:13:29.

It's a view shared at Ulster University.

:13:30.:13:34.

They are making sense, it is a more difficult environment and it is hard

:13:35.:13:43.

to argue for a pay rises in the way it used to be, there is always a

:13:44.:13:48.

cheaper location where things can be done, so now we could only look for

:13:49.:13:52.

pay rises if we are doing our job better, not just getting older.

:13:53.:13:55.

Stagnating pay does nothing to help boost George Osborne's tax take

:13:56.:13:58.

and is part of the reason for more austerity.

:13:59.:14:00.

Cuts are looming because the Chancellor's big goal

:14:01.:14:02.

is for the UK to stop running at a defecit by 2020,

:14:03.:14:05.

but the IFS rates his current chances as "only just the right

:14:06.:14:07.

Traditionally Northern Ireland is a lower wage economy relative

:14:08.:14:12.

Our salaries are about ?2500 behind the national average.

:14:13.:14:20.

Closing the gap isn't looking at getting any easier any time soon.

:14:21.:14:26.

The Secretary of State has been ordered to give sworn testimony

:14:27.:14:30.

to a court over the group known as the "hooded men".

:14:31.:14:33.

If Theresa Villiers fails to meet next week's deadline,

:14:34.:14:36.

she could be subject to contempt of court proceedings.

:14:37.:14:40.

The group claim they were tortured by the Army in the 1970s and have

:14:41.:14:44.

called today's High Court decision "a small victory".

:14:45.:14:48.

They believe the Secretary of State is withholding documents relating

:14:49.:14:51.

to their judicial review, but she says that's not the case.

:14:52.:14:56.

We're going to be disclosing all the documents that are required.

:14:57.:15:00.

Obviously with matters of such sensitivity,

:15:01.:15:03.

which date back some decades, it takes a while to do the searches

:15:04.:15:07.

needed to ensure that we've found all the relevant documents

:15:08.:15:10.

and compiled the appropriate affidavit to support them.

:15:11.:15:15.

A Fermanagh GP who took ?10,000 from a vulnerable patient made

:15:16.:15:19.

a "gross error of judgment with catastrophic circumstances".

:15:20.:15:23.

Dr Michelle Meloitte from Banner Beg road in Kesh appeared in court

:15:24.:15:27.

in Dungannon after admitting fraud by abuse of position.

:15:28.:15:31.

Her lawyer said it was an exceptional case that did not

:15:32.:15:34.

61-year-old Michelle Meloitte, a GP who had given her life

:15:35.:15:44.

to the service of her patients and community.

:15:45.:15:47.

But a prosecution lawyer said she had dishonestly exploited

:15:48.:15:51.

and taken advantage of an elderly patient.

:15:52.:15:54.

The man, who has since died, had given her a loan,

:15:55.:15:57.

but she had "chosen not to repay it" until the police

:15:58.:16:01.

and General Medical Council began to investigate her conduct.

:16:02.:16:05.

Dr Meloitte took the money from Michael McGrory

:16:06.:16:08.

He was suffering from Alzheimer's and the GP was aware

:16:09.:16:14.

of his deteriorating mental and physical health when she came

:16:15.:16:18.

He signed a cheque for ?10,000 in the presence of his home help

:16:19.:16:26.

with an endorsement that it would be paid back that summer.

:16:27.:16:29.

But a year later, when the home help confronted the GP about the money,

:16:30.:16:32.

she was told "not to worry about it".

:16:33.:16:36.

The judge was given a large number of character testimonials that said

:16:37.:16:39.

the former Ederney GP had spent her life going above and beyond the call

:16:40.:16:43.

of duty for her patients and community.

:16:44.:16:45.

Her defence barrister said the reputation of the GP was now

:16:46.:16:48.

besmirched and she faced being struck off the medical register.

:16:49.:16:53.

He said the impression had been given that Dr Meloitte had been

:16:54.:16:56.

"fleecing a patient" in order to "line her own pockets"

:16:57.:17:00.

but that was "not the case whatsoever" and she had used

:17:01.:17:03.

He said she had suffered from depression and had

:17:04.:17:10.

"allowed financial matters to overwhelm her and

:17:11.:17:13.

Dr Meloitte will return to court to be sentenced next month.

:17:14.:17:21.

Still to come on the programme before 7pm:

:17:22.:17:29.

Another successful day for the Irish as the Cheltenham festival draws to

but the champions will try and finish third

:22:06.:22:08.

in the championship. And, after the game,

:22:09.:22:12.

it will be time for coach Joe Schmidt to reflect

:22:13.:22:14.

on his future with the IRFU. Joe Schmidt has a decision to make

:22:15.:22:27.

should he or go? His contract is up next year. He said he would look

:22:28.:22:33.

after -- at his teacher after the summer tour to South Africa. Rory

:22:34.:22:37.

Best trained this morning, so would he like Schmidt to stay? Absolutely,

:22:38.:22:45.

I have not heard a reaction from other players but not just joke but

:22:46.:22:50.

this coaching staff is one of the best I have ever worked that and it

:22:51.:22:54.

would be great to keep it together and keep pushing Ireland forward.

:22:55.:23:00.

OK, we are playing hopefully for third place tomorrow but if we

:23:01.:23:05.

delivered two championships in three years, it's not a bad return. This

:23:06.:23:10.

weekend Schmidt will come up against his former boss at French club

:23:11.:23:18.

Laverne. It is a bit bizarre, I will catch up with him and before the

:23:19.:23:25.

game we will have a bit of a chat about everything but rugby. You

:23:26.:23:29.

really want to win but you don't want him to lose, but there is only

:23:30.:23:36.

one winner. Ireland have just come off a buoyant victory against Italy,

:23:37.:23:41.

so it is exciting to have another crack at good opposition and see

:23:42.:23:47.

where we go. Irish rugby fans have been spoiled over the past two

:23:48.:23:52.

seasons. There was not the a prize tomorrow but what is up for

discussion is the future of Joe Schmidt and a win against Scotland

:23:57.:24:00.

might increase the likelihood of him staying on.

There is plenty of Ulster interest in Sunday's Irish

this is not today's sunset, this was St Patrick's day's sunset in the

morn is that the sun wasn't that far away today. The bulk of the sunshine

the coldest spring night so far. We expect lots of dry weather this

:26:40.:26:44.

weekend, more cloud than sun and it will be cruel at times with those

:26:45.:26:48.

cloudier skies. To begin with quite great and misty, but hopefully it

will brighten as the day goes on but at least it is dry, mist and low

cloud should lift off the hills to the morning and it will brighten up

dry in Dublin. Sunday looks like there is more chance of seeing a bit

:27:32.:27:36.

of sunshine, so we should see temperatures up to ten or 11

:27:37.:27:40.

degrees. More dry weather in the new week due to high pressure that still

pretty cloudy. Our late summary is at 10:30pm tonight
