evening: A teenager is questioned about the weekend murder

The DPP says the sentence imposed on the drunk driver who killed this

A new inquest and new hope for the families of the ten men

The Tyrone woman jailed for lying about her husband's IS plans.

Rory McIlroy tells us he may not go to the Olympics because

Welcome to Paradise where Brendan Rodgers, from the Glens of Antrim,

to Celtic Park. We will bring you the latest as he prepares to meet

his beloved Celtic fans. And it's been a fairly dry start

to the week, I'll be back with details of how the rest

of the week is shaping up. Detectives investigating the murder

of a man at the weekend have been granted a further 24 hours

to question a 16-year-old boy. Gerard Quinn from Currynierin

in Londonderry died after a stabbing He was 24 years old and

the father of a little girl. Our north west reporter

Keiron Tourish has been speaking Gerard Quinn was assaulted around

10pm on Saturday night. It is understood he suffered a wound to

his neck. He was taken from the scene of the accident to Altnagelvin

hospital. But later died. His twin brother was also assaulted and

treated for injuries but later released. A 16-year-old youth was

arrested following the murder and is being questioned by detectives. The

family are devastated by their loss. Gerard Quinn was a father of one, a

daughter, who was two years old. They are a big family in these areas

and they are very well known. My reaction was that this was a

terrible events to have happened, a horrible thing to have happened and

that is what all the people in the community are saying because they

know the family and this is a devastation for the family. It is

believed there was a party going on here at the time of the incident.

One neighbour said he tried to save Gerard Quinn 's wife. I just saw

this body lying at the wall. I ran in and got a couple of clots. I was

keeping pressure on his neck and the cops then turned up and straightaway

I started CPR. He went to the hospital with a pulse and he was

fighting for his life. I will never get over this. Those who knew Gerard

Quinn described him as fun loving and popular. The minute he came in

the room, you knew he was there. Especially at the football in the

changing rooms, you get a lot of banter flying and Gerard was always

involved in that, always giving sick and taking stick, just fun loving.

That is how I picture him. Everybody knows everybody so the whole estate

are just devastated, number and just speechless. Nobody can't wait to get

in. That view was reflected throughout the estate.

The sentence imposed on a drunk driver who killed a County Tyrone

teenager is to be referred to the Appeal Court on the grounds

The move by the Public Prosecution Service concerns the case

of the 18-year-old student Enda Dolan who was knocked down

Kevin Magee has been speaking to his father who has asked

I agree with you, something has to be done in the courts. Enda Dolan's

father reads from some of the many messages of support he has received

since his son's killer was sentenced. To let you know that we

as a family know how you are feeling and support you all the way in

fighting for justice system. Musician and sportsmen Enda Dolan

was knocked down and killed by a drunk tripper as he walked back to

his Queens University accommodation in October 2014. David Lee Stewart

had consumed 13 alcoholic drinks when his van mounted the pavement,

killing the teenager. Last month he was given a seven-year sentence of

which he will spend half in jail and the remainder on licence. Heater at

once the maximum sentence for drunk drivers because increased. We have

had 108 MLAs appointed to our assembly. We will throw down the

conflict to those MLAs and ask them to change the sentencing from 14

years to 20 years. There is no reason why that cannot be done. It's

important. There is no deterrent for anybody drinking and driving and 14

years maximum sentence is not sufficient under the current law.

Politicians at Stormont could change the law of the political will

exists. The issue of changing the law and sentencing is in the

competence of the assembly. If we increase the sentence, it sends a

message to the judges that there is an expectation on the part of the

public how sentences will begin but it does remain with the individual

judge on every case. The Public Prosecution Service had been

considering whether or not it should refer the sentence in this case to

the Court of Appeal. Late this afternoon it announced it will be

using its powers to try and have the sentence looked at on the basis that

it was and uniquely named. If the Court of Appeal agreed to this

request, the sentence will be reviewed.

A fresh inquest has begun into the murder of ten Protestant

workmen at Kingsmills in County Armagh in 1976.

The families say they hope the long-awaited hearing will get

40 years after he was left for dead by the side of a road in South

Armagh, Alan Black arrives for the opening of a fresh inquest into the

death of his friends. Although badly injured, Mr Black was the only

survivor of what became known as the Kingsmills massacre when ten absent

factory workers were shot dead as they made their way home. We have

fought long and hard for this. There have been so many obstacles put in

our way and thanks to these people here, they have got over each one

and really, this is a red letter day for us, to finally get our day in

court. The fight for a fresh inquest has lasted for decades. The families

eventually persuaded the authorities that there was new and significant

evidence including that honoured by a report which blamed the IRA. There

are still people out there withholding information. Either they

are too scared to come forward and you have to respect that, but I

would still appeal for them to come forward at this late stage. You can

hurt nobody at the end of the day and that is what we are striving

for, the truth. This afternoon, one by one, the next of kin took to the

stand is their loved ones and tell how their cruel death affected the

lives of those left behind. Most of the harrowing detail we had heard

before like Howell, believing strongly that the gang intended to

kill the only Catholic on the bus, the men had refused to betray him.

How Alan Black Labour need the dead and dying and how among the moans

and cries of pain at the dishes order had been barked out, finished

them off. All of this was learned a new poignancy as it was said out

loud in a courtroom. The inquest is expected to last at least a month or

six weeks with Alan Black due to give his evidence as early as

Wednesday. A Northern Ireland woman has been

jailed for failing to tell the authorities her husband

was about to join the so called She was among a group of friends

from Walsall in England who planned to bring up their children under

the Caliphate in Syria. Mother of three Lorna Mara from the

Mountjoy area near, was tried at the Old Bailey in London. Today she was

jailed for 2.5 years preparing to tell the authorities that her

husband was about to join the militant group, so-called Islamic

State. Her husband was part of a large network that had heeded the

militants calls for volunteers in 2014. The police say 12 people from

Walsall in the West Midlands went or try to get to Syria that year. The

four-year-old mirror, was planning to take her three young children to

the war zones including an 11-month-old baby. During sentencing

at the Old Bailey, the judge described her as a very strong

character and said she knew perfectly well of her husband 's

dedication to terrorism. The judge added that one of the troubling

things about the Tyrone woman of the facility were telling lies. He said

she had told lie after lie to the jury during her trial and that some

of the evidence was nonsense. The motorcycle racer Ryan Farquhar

who was injured in the recent North West 200 event has been

returned to intensive The Dungannon rider suffered

injuries to his chest and pelvis He was moved out of intensive care

at the Royal Victoria But over the weekend he went back

in and is described Rory McIlroy has told BBC

Newsline that he may not play at the Rio Olympics

because of the spread In an exclusive interview

with Stephen Watson, McIlroy who won the Irish Open yesterday,

said he was closely monitoring news Rory McIlroy told me today he is

monitoring physical barriers very carefully and may not to real if the

barriers which is linked to reign of deformities in newborn babies get

any worse. He won the Irish open yesterday and today brought the

trophy here where amongst other things, he visited Ireland hockey

team and for real and says he is reevaluating whether he will be on

the plane this summer. I have been reading a lot of reports about the

Zika virus. I know some articles have said it might be worse than

what they are saying so I have to monitor the situation as well.

There's going to be a point in time where we are going to have to start

thinking of starting a family so I don't want anything to affect that.

I am ready to go to the Olympics and go to real and try to compete for a

gold medal. Is there a chance you might not go if that gets worse?

Yes, I am getting my injections on Wednesday for last so at least I

will be immunised if I do get bitten by a mosquito! Right now, I am going

and I am looking forward to it and hopefully competing for the gold.

Omitted at the moment but very concerned and it's possible he may

change his mind. The police are treating the assault

of three young people in north Belfast on Saturday afternoon

as a sectarian hate crime. They were attacked

on the Ardoyne Road. One of the victims, who's 13 years

old, says he now doesn't feel safe They said, where are you from? We

just ignored them. They said, are you dirty we Protestants? I said,

what has got to do if you? They walked up behind us and started to

punch us. They pushed me up against a wall and my head and started

punching me in the face. It makes Beefeater annoyed that I cannot go

somewhere without being attacked because of my religion.

The First Minister says she is confident of forming a government

despite concerns of the appointment of a justice minister. That is not

something we have really considered at this point in time. There will be

a government, there will be a minister and we're looking forward

to Wednesday and thirsty. More than 6,000 people attended

hospital Emergency Departments last year having self harmed -

a figure described by Northern Ireland's largest

mental health charity A majority of the patients

were aged between 15 and 24. More than 8,500 incidents

were reported in a year and a number of the people sought help did

so on more than one occasion. The figures are part

of the Chief Medical Officer's annual report which reflects

on the population's health. Professor Peter McBride from

the Northern Ireland Association for Mental Health says he fears

the real number of people self People who are cutting as a way of

coping with their emotions will not go to A so often what is happening

is, they are using this as a means but it's not coming through the

system and will not show up as statistics so it's hard to give an

accurate view of the prevalence of this sort of thing. What we can be

sure of is that the numbers presented here are the tip of the

iceberg. Demand for foster care has reached

an all time high with an appeal The award of Foster Carer

of the Year has been given to a couple who look after 5 boys,

including 2 sets of siblings There is very little time for rest

in the house. This couple posture five boys. The eldest has been with

them for 15 years. The line-up includes two sets of brothers and

all have health problems. Each boy does have complex needs and it has

been tough over the last number of years but you wouldn't be without

them. That is why we do it. When you see a child coming through that

door, standing harrowing in the corner and that is what they do. Of

course they are frightened and you see them progress. The more you

listen to them, the more you make them feel like they are in a normal

environment and a star to settle down. That is why we do it. The

youngest child has a serious heart condition. Then travelled with him

to Birmingham for surgery, a trip that lasted 16 weeks. You treat them

like you own, how can you not? You get so close to them and they tell

you they love them. It's a nice feeling. Around 2150 children across

Northern Ireland are living with over 2000 foster families. Or carers

are required but the assessment system is often criticised for being

too slow. There are a series of checks and a rigorous assessment

process and it's really important that all our services work together

to make sure that happens in a way that is timely and expedited in a

way that makes sure we can meet at 170 target every year. This couple

's two children are now grown up but keeping on the family tradition,

their son and his wife have recently been accepted as foster carers.

The Prince of Wales is in Northern Ireland on the start

Prince Charles was greeted at Belfast's Titanic Quarter

by the First Minister Arlene Foster and other political representatives.

Inside he was shown the latest cyber security to combat internet hackers

and he officially opened a global research institute,

Tomorrow Prince Charles will be joined by his wife the Duchess

of Cornwall for a second round of engagements

day before heading to County Donegal on Wednesday.

Earlier in the programme Rory McIlroy told us about his

concerns about going to the Rio Olympics.

One thing he is certain about though is where the Irish Open

Rory McIlroy says he wants to defend his Irish open title

The world number 3 today told BBC Newsline he thinks

Portstewart on the north coast is the perfect venue.

McIlroy, who donated his prize fund of over ?500,000,

reflected on yesterday's memorable triumph with Stephen Watson.

It was nice to enjoy the win last night and celebrate with my friends

and family and try not to cry! I was trying not to look up at the

hospitality suite because I knew my friends and family were up there and

I know how much it meant to my parents that I won the Aaron

Shotton. It's something I have dreams about for a long, long time.

Even now I am getting emotional. It all sort of hit me. I had a few

moments on the 18th green to try to think about it all and for it to pan

out the way it did, we couldn't have scripted it any better. How

important is it for you that the tournament returns to Northern

Ireland next year? It is huge. Have a nice little thing going here where

the Irish Open goes north on year, sell the next year. It would be

unfair to keep it in the same place every year because then the whole

country don't get to experience what it's like so Portstewart is for sure

good enough golf course to host the Aaron Shotton. That front of

Portstewart is probably one of the best nine holes in the world, it's

incredible. I would love to bring it to a links course and we're looking

at a few courses but Portstewart is one we are taking very series.

Rory also spent some time today with the Northern Ireland football

squad heading to Euro 2016.We'll have an exclusive feature

on what he had to share with Michael O'Neill's team

Brendan Rodgers has pledged to Celtic fans that the club

will dominate Scottish football and enjoy success in Europe.

Today he held his first press conference since being appointed

From early morning, this city has been awash with Brendan Rodgers

denier. At 3:30, the man from Carnlough drove up Celtic Way, got

out of a big fan and it was then off to meet the media where he gave a

commanding performance. There was a draw for me here. Celtic is one of

the biggest clubs in the world and for me to come out of the Premier

League to come here, it certainly not a step down. This is one of the

great clubs of the world, it's an institution in its own right suffer

me to come here, it is a huge honour and privilege to be able to come and

manage Celtic. I know the first thing you did today was to go pitch

side and meet the fans. As you sit here now and they had the privilege

of this job, what is your message to Celtic fans? The message is that we

will do our very best. I am here because of them. I have been a

Celtic supporter all my life. I am very lucky now to have been given

the opportunity to step out of the stands and the sideline and manage

the team. Hopefully they will understand that when you have that

passion and emotion involved in a club, myself, the staff and the

players will do all we can to meet the challenges that are set for us

and that is to dominate here in Scotland and to qualify for the

Champions League. Without, we need. So the Brendan Rodgers era has

officially begun. The man has passed the media examination but

ultimately, bigger tests lie ahead. Tyrone had this game won in the

first half with a 3-goal blitz that rocked Derry. A second from London

O'Neill soon followed. With a crucial third just before half-time,

to put Tyrone well clear. That is how you do it. It is Mickey Harte,

it is Tyrone. The game over? Derry 's attempted to strike back in the

second half proved fruitless. Seeing red with a stray elbow. The

qualifiers now I wait while Tyrone advanced to the semifinals of the

Ulster championship. Goals are very important in championship matches

and we got the goals in the first half. To be great but to get three

probably one begin for us. That was going to guarantee success. I have

to accept responsibility in terms of the hall package. Emotionally and

physically, where we write? 11 points deficit and pulling up at the

end, I think we are better than that. It was Mickey Harte's 250th

game in charge. There have been a few more comfortable victories. Now

face cavern or Armagh for a place in the final.

In the World Rally Championship Kris Meeke picked up a comfortable

Meeke finished almost thirty seconds ahead of his nearest rival.

The Dungannon man is not competing in every rally this season,

as his Citroen team develops a new car for 2017,

which made his win all the more encouraging.

Finally Carrick Rangers have confirmed they have accepted

the resignation of manager Gary Haveron and his

Don't forget tomorrow we have Rory McIlroy and the Northern

The weather is next. The heavy downpours of the weekend

are well behind us but despite that, it was still nice at times in the

sun. This picture taken over the weekend just proves how the sun can

make the difference. This week we're looking at a much quieter

conditions. We will have a lot of settled weather and a lot of dry

weather as well. Quite funny tomorrow but by the end of the week,

more cloud and a few showers particularly in the East but compare

to the weekend, it will be much drier. Good news for a lot of

farmers. The cloudy skies we had earlier, the cloud is already

breaking up so more in the way of sunshine with this evening. Quite

clear tonight and as a result, quite chilly reports of Tyrone and

Fermanagh. Temperatures could be low enough for a touch of Frost on the

grass. First thing tomorrow, a little bit cool but the sun is up

early and it will not be too long before it warms up. A lot of warm

and sunny weather. Worst thing, a little bit cool in places. Some mist

around as well but not too long before we see double figures and

we're looking at plenty of fine, dry, bright weather through the day.

And yet sunshine as well. Strong sunshine, remember that.

Temperatures in the highest up to 17 or 18 degrees. One to showers are

possible but they will be few or far between. Another fine evening

tomorrow. Try light again, a little bit cool in the countryside and as

we move into Wednesday, are still looking at any drive weather. So the

easterly breeze as well. Probably not as much sunshine compared to

tomorrow so temperatures will be lower and towards the end of the

week, just one or two showers.
