Fares on public transport won't be getting more expensive this year. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Translink have announced a freeze on their bus, | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
coach and rail service for the next year. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
There was a big jump in prices last year. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Welcome to a very busy Europa bus centre. | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
Lots of people heading home for the Bank Holiday weekend. | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
There is good news today because Translink have decided | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Chris Conway is the head of Translink. | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
We have decided to freeze it, which is good news | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
How will you make that up without raising fares? | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
Obviously fares is one element, and also how we are funded | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Investing in public transport is really important | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
and it is a vital link for a lot of communities in Northern Ireland, | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
as well as adding to the economy and supporting the environment. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
I hope that this price freeze will encourage more consumers | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
and shoppers to use public transport when they are getting | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
And passengers seemed to be pleased with the news. | :01:14. | :01:21. | |
We don't get the bus very often, but I think they are fine | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
Do you like the train or the bus better? | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
It doesn't really encourage you to take the bus. | :01:29. | :01:43. | |
I thought they would put them back up again. | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
Existing passengers might be happy, but for it them to keep them that | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
way, more people need to be tempted onboard. | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Imitation guns and suspected cannabis have been seized | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
during a search of a house in East Belfast. | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
There was a heavy police presence outside the house | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
A 30-year-old man was detained and is being questioned | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
by detectives about drugs-related offences. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
Lough Neagh is to benefit from a grant of almost ?2.5 million | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
The money will support projects and jobs that improve and protect | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Our reporter Sara Girvin has been to the lough. | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
It's the biggest lake in the UK and Ireland, | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
Now the rare species that call Lough Neagh home are to benefit | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
from ?2.5 million in lottery funding. | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
The money will be spent on preserving wildlife, | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
restoring wetlands and the Lough's archeological heritage. | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
Five full-time jobs will be created, as well as hundreds of volunteer | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
For those working on the lough, the investment is long overdue. | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
For some strange reason, it's never captured the imagination of people. | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
It never got the interest from Government that it should have. | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
I think this is going to stimulate that and I hope that already | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
beginning. The funding will be delivered over | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
the next five years, but those behind the project hope | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
that will make Lough Neagh a place we can all enjoy for much | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
longer than that. Sara Girvin, BBC Newsline, | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
Ballyronan. Several thousand people have marched | :03:35. | :03:37. | |

McGuinness was also there. The Rising, a six-day rebellion | :03:49. | :03:51. | |

diverse commemoration of 1916, which includes every type | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
of opinion, which is wonderful. BBC Northern Ireland has full | :04:22. | :04:29. | |

on our news website. Sport now, and Ulster lost | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
to Glasgow Warriors by 27 points The away side got off to a good | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
start as Iain Henderson marked his come back from injury | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
by scoring with this Paddy Jackson added the conversion | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
and this long range penalty to give They built on their lead | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
in the second half when Stuart McCloskey scored from this quickly | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
taken line out. However, Glasgow came from behind | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
with two tries in quick succession. The first, this superb solo effort | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
by Stuart Hogg, before former Ulster player Tommy Seymour gathered | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
Finn Russell's kick and touched And in football, the Republic | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
of Ireland got off to a dream start in their friendly match in Dublin | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
against Switzerland by scoring This early goal from Ciaran Clark | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
secured the Irish side a 1-0 win However, there are fitness concerns | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
for striker Kevin Doyle who was stretchered off | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
after he was injured making a tackle Now finally here's Geoff Maskill | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
to tell us what the weather has After quite a decent day things are | :06:24. | :06:41. | |
turning quite wet and windy overnight. A weather front could | :06:42. | :06:48. | |
bring ten or 15 millimetres of rain, setting the done very rather | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
unsettled bank holiday weekend. Good Friday dawned clear and bright and | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
Saturday will feel very different. Gradually, that weather front will | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
work its way to the east, but as you take the wider view, you can see | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
that we're not out the woods even then. It will bring some strong | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
winds and heavy rain across Wales and Scotland and pushing further | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
east throughout the day. Behind it though, throughout Northern Ireland, | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
we are still left with some fairly heavy showers. Top temperatures of 9 | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
degrees. A little down on what we saw today. Overnight Saturday, | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
temperatures dropping away, the clocks going forward on Sunday | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
morning. We will have those darker mornings and some lighter evenings | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
to come. I don't think Easter Sunday will be the day to make the most of | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
them built because it will have a feel of April showers sort of day, | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
plenty of bright spells but also quite pokey showers with a chance of | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
hail and plunder in that mix. The temperatures are down again in notch | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
or two on the current use. Not the best outlook for an Easter bank | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
holiday weekend. It will be the be a | :08:03. | :08:04. |
