I'll be back with more updates throughout the night.

Polling stations in the historic referendum on whether the UK should

stay in or leave the European Union have closed.

The outcome of the Northern Ireland Paul will be announced at the

Titanic centre in Belfast. Mark Devenport joins me

live from now. Mark, is there any indication

of what the turn out has been The best guess at this stage is that

turnout will be higher than the 55% we saw in last month's Assembly

poll. We are getting different indications from around Northern

Ireland. Some places in Belfast and Londonderry have had a turnout of

more than 70%, whereas other places have been lower, for instance in Mid

Ulster where there was a turnout of more like 48%. It is all go here in

the Titanic centre and the other counting centres around Northern

Ireland. A lot of ballot boxes brought in in the last two moments,

and the counting staff are verifying the ballot papers, that the right

number are inside the boxes, and then they will get on with the

counting soon after that. Looks busy indeed. When we know which way it

has gone? We will have declarations from each of the 18 parliamentary

constituencies, which should come throughout the night. We are

thinking the earliest might be some time like 12:30am, and the last

should be possibly around 4am this morning. We should have a good idea

of how Northern Ireland has voted in this referendum by probably around

4:15am, when we are expecting the declaration here in the Titanic

centre. The overall UK result will probably be later than that,

probably about 7am or thereabouts. Mark, thank you.

The family of a woman who died from a brain injury

a day after telling police her head had been banged off a wall

is considering legal action against the PSNI.

Two police officers have been disciplined for not seeking medical

attention for the 36-year-old when she was taken into custody.

Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.

Mairead McCallion told police several times over a number of years

that she had been a victim of domestic violence.

When officers arrived to deal with a disturbance at a house in Omagh,

she said her partner had grabbed her by the hair and banged

Her partner was arrested and she was taken to Omagh

But the officers she had spoken to did

not tell the doctor about the head injury.

Hours later, she was sick in the back of a police

car while being driven to a friend's house.

She was rushed to hospital but died the following day.

Her sister says the family is deeply distressed about

She was a very vulnerable young women, and I

think at the most vulnerable point in her life, she was not taken

When she reported that she had a head injury,

she should have got urgent medical attention.

As a family we are left wondering and will always wonder now,

A report from the Police Ombudsman says two officers failed to

follow PSNI procedures for dealing with someone with a head injury.

The officers said they had assumed that

she would tell the police doctor about her injury, but the report

says that they had a duty to make the doctor aware of what

no blame should be apportioned here to Mairead McCallion.

She was in very difficult circumstances, she had been

assaulted, and obviously that was impacting on her, so it was the

The man she said assaulted her was charged with

murder, but the charges were later dropped.

Her family are now considering legal action against the PSNI.

The PSNI has accepted a recommendation from the ombudsman to

introduce a new policy for dealing with people who report a head

injury. In future, officers will be instructed to take the person

directly to hospital and are not stable base station. -- not to a

police station. A Euro fanzone for supporters will

be set up at Boucher Playing Fields in South Belfast for both

the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland's

matches this weekend. It followed a clash

with the Belsonic Festival which ruled out the original venue

at the Titanic slipway. This afternoon the Boucher site

was named as the alternative. Fans will now be able to congregate

there for Northern Ireland's match against Wales on Saturday

and for the Republic's game Having a fanzone, it will be an

thinkable not to have won here in Belfast, and I am delighted his

provided you're now. Fans enjoy coming together, even though you're

only cheering on a screen, you are doing it together and showing her

enthusiasm. -- showing your enthusiasm.

Here's Barra Best with a look at what the weather has

Some scattered showers tonight, one or two on the heavy night, but not

especially chilly. The pressure will remain in control tomorrow, meaning

more scattered showers. To begin with not a bad start to the day.

Plenty of dry weather and sunshine as well, but by the morning, those

showers will begin to come in from the Atlantic, affecting almost any

work across Ireland. The date some heavy downpours as well. A similar

picture further north. The exception may be of the south-east of England,

are largely dry and warm afternoon. For us the wind begins to comment on

the north-west. It will feel cooler and pressure especially towards the

north coast. 14 or 15 Celsius. And a bit warmer. Keep an eye out for some

heavy showers. There could be surface flooding on the roads with

undermining perhaps breaking out through the afternoon. It is a bit

of an improving picture for Saturday. Not as many showers

around, but some wet weather. It will be rather cloudy. The link cool

with those north-westerly winds. More in the way of sunny spells

expected from Andy. -- for Monday. Our next BBC Newsline

is at 6:25am in the morning You can also keep updated
