A group of young people caught up in the Brussels attacks have tonight | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
The County Antrim teenagers had arrived at the city's airport | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
to catch a flight home when the first explosion took place. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
Our reporter David Maxwell met them as they arrived at Dublin airport. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
As you can see from the arrivals board, incoming flights from | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
Brussels have been cancelled and that is expect it to remain the case | :00:38. | :00:43. | |
for another 24 hours. Anyone trying to make their way back from Brussels | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
is having to plan on alternative route. That is the case for a group | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
of youth Council representatives from Northern Ireland. This evening | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
they made their way back through Amsterdam but this morning they were | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
in Brussels airport when the bombs went off. I have been finding out | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
about their experiences. We just came into the platform down below, | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
out of the train and about to go up the escalator into arrivals when | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
security told us all to get out and moved us into the emergency exits. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
Did you see any sign of the bombs that had gone off? We did not see | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
anything, just the people coming running out and we just followed | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
them. Back out into the car park. It was only after that that was saw the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Fire Brigade and emergency vehicles arriving at new something serious | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
was going on. It was quite shocking, everyone was just running out and we | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
were wondering what was going on. Over 30 people lost their lives in | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Brussels today. You spent a few days there, did it come as a huge shock? | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
Yes, you never know, is could be nice if we had five minutes later. | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
It is shocking to think so many people have lost their lives, so | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
many people affected by such a horrible, devastating event. These | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
young people are glad to be on the ceiling and of course their families | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
will be glad to have them home safe and sound. Everyone is thinking of | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
those killed today and those injured in these latest attack. -- glad to | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
be home this evening. The funeral took place today | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
of the prison officer who died after being injured in a booby trap | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
bomb explosion in Belfast. Adrian Ismay was described as a big | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
man with a big heart. When a bomb exploded under | :02:37. | :02:38. | |
Adrian Ismay's van two and a half weeks ago, he was badly injured | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
but the prison officer, with 29 years service, | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
survived and he and his family must He died a week ago and his | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
funeral took place today. Politicians, prison and police | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
officials came to the Methodist church to celebrate the life | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
of the man from Carlisle who made his home and | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
raised his family here. His brother-in-law spoke | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
of his love of rugby, He was looking forward | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
to a new grandchild and a Florida His oldest grandson said to me, | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
uncle Ron, say it from your heart. We are here to celebrate | :03:20. | :03:34. | |
the life of Adrian. Adrian Ismay was involved | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
in many voluntary groups. Scouts, St John's ambulance, | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
and the rescue service. The Methodist President said dark | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
men came in darkness We want to build an inclusive, | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
peaceful society in Northern And your contribution | :03:56. | :04:02. | |

the passing of Adrian Ismay, who, friends say, | :04:15. | :04:27. | |
had much to live for. A man has been charged | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
with his murder. The Manchester United footballer | :04:31. | :04:37. | |

message which said "devastating news about young Mark, | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
Evan family from Derry". Our North-West reporter, | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
Keiron Tourish was in Ballymagroarty today as the coffins were brought | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
home from County Donegal. Silence descended on this part | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
of Hazelbank as the remains Friends and neighbours trying | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
to comprehend the sheer scale Louise James lost her | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
partner Sean and her sons. As well as her mother | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
Ruth and sister. Her four-month-old baby | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
was rescued by a passer-by. I think all you can do | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
is allow a person to cry, to hug you, to be angry, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
but she's grateful, full of pain and sadness but grateful | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
they are home. Among those in attendance, | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
pupils from the primary school where eight-year-old | :05:43. | :05:46. | |

who also died, had attended the school, too, before leaving | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
for secondary school last summer. All the teachers, all the children, | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
the teachers were crying thinking Amongst those signing | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
the book of condolence, I haven't been sleeping | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
the last few nights. Hopefully the baby is a miracle, | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
and it'll see her through some The funerals are due to take | :06:22. | :06:31. | |
place at 2pm on Thursday The animal welfare charity | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
the USPCA has suspended its Chief Executive | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
Stephen Philpott. It says it has identified issues | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
with how the organisation USPCA chief executive, | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
Stephen Philpott, often ends up His willingness to do interviews | :06:51. | :07:03. | |
on stories like this 2003 hunt on the north coast gave | :07:04. | :07:15. | |
him a high profile. There has been livestock attacked | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
and we want to look at it now. He was also to the fore in campaigns | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
against animal cruelty and practices Today the organisation said issues | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
of concern had been raised And after what it called | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
an independent investigation, We've announced today that | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
Stephen Philpott has been suspended after an internal investigation | :07:32. | :07:39. | |
by the trustees. And we're now into the | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
disciplinary process. The charity had its annual | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
general meeting today. Mr Philpott didn't attend | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
and afterwards delegates I don't want to say | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
anything, thank you. The charity relies almost | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
exclusively on donations More than ?1 million | :08:03. | :08:14. | |
was given last year. The challenge now for the USPCA | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
is to convince the public that it is a good | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
place to donate cash. The charity said as the disciplinary | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
proceedings had not finished, it wasn't able to say more | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
about the circumstances surrounding 93 jobs are being created | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
by a manufacturing company in Bloc Blinds is more than doubling | :08:29. | :08:37. | |
its workforce with a ?4 million expansion which includes | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
new factory premises. The John Lewis department store | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
sells the firm's products in the UK and the company is doing | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
a significant export business to the United States | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
and mainland Europe. With the centenary of | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
the Easter Rising later this week more and more accounts | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
of what happened and the people Catherine Morrison focusses | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
on a family from Belfast. Four siblings were involved in very | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
different battles in the turbulent This is the story | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
of the Corr family. Together with her sister, Nell, | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
they ran off to join the rising, telling their parents | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
they were going camping. Their brothers George | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
and Charles signed up, too, but for the Allied | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
forces in the trenches Siblings on opposite | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
sides of history. We know so much of their part | :09:31. | :09:39. | |
in the rising because Elizabeth left behind this eyewitness | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
account of their time. They met with leaders | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
of the Citizen Army, acted as go-betweens and slept | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
at Countess Markovic's house. They left Dublin on Easter Monday | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
before the fighting began to bring dispatches back to the north | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
to the volunteers who had been For the part they played, | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
they were awarded military pensions Elizabeth and Nell played | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
a significant part. The family is part of a new subject | :10:06. | :10:16. | |
at the Linenhall library in Belfast. This whole exhibition | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
is about opening opportunities And that is consistent | :10:21. | :10:21. | |
with what we are seeing The Corr sisters were taught rifle | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
shooting by a Protestant Things aren't as black | :10:27. | :10:37. | |
and white as they seem. Elizabeth's account paints a vivid | :10:38. | :10:53. | |
picture of the Easter rising and sheds | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
new light on those tumultuous times. Liberty Hall was humming | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
when we arrived. Joseph Plunkett was there, looking | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
ill with his throat bandaged... James Connelly came from another | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
part of the building and said, well, girls, we start | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
operations at noon. This is the proclamation | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
of the Republic. It was still wet from | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
the press and we read it The Corr boys left less material | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
behind but we do know that George was killed fighting | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
for the Australian army on the Somme His brother, Charles, fought | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
for the Canadian expeditionary Their story might sound | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
extraordinary but it isn't unique. It shows the complexities | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
and the divided loyalties There was a shock result in | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
tonight's Irish Premiership match. Carrick Rangers stunned | :11:44. | :11:53. | |
the champions Crusaders with a 4-3 It was good while it lasted but the | :11:54. | :12:10. | |
current dry spell ends today. Tomorrow there will be patchy rain | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
because of the low weather system moving in from the Atlantic. And the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Easter holidays will be wet and windy at times. Tonight we have a | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
lot of cloud, stopping temperatures falling to low. Typically around | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
five or 6 degrees. Eventually the cloud tomorrow wrings some patchy | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
rain later on. But to begin with it is a dry start with some brighter | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
spells for we have grey skies pushing in in the morning. That | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
brings rain to western areas at first, gradually moving east through | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
the course of the day. I had of that across Britain it is a cloudy day, | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
some rain in Scotland nudging its wake east through the course of the | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
day. South of that largely dry and then it turns sunny across many | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
areas through the afternoon. So an east- West split in the afternoon, | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
some rain lingering in eastern counties but brighter towards the | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
West. There will be rain around during the day on Thursday, | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
especially during the first half, improving by the end of the day. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
That sets us up for a good day on Good Friday, said to be the driest | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
of the days to come. Saturday and Sunday will see more low pressure | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
heading our way bringing rain on Saturday with scattered showers and | :13:33. | :13:33. | |
sunshine on Easter Sunday. | :13:34. | :13:36. |
