That's all from the BBC News at Six. Goodbye from | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
This is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
300 new jobs for Belfast in the biggest Executive-backed | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
Anger at increased incidents of anti-social | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
The Scottish Conservative leader visits | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
and calls for local politicians to introduce same-sex marriage. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
A court rules Hank the dog should return to his owners - | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
It seems that once this picked up public pressure, they wanted it | :00:43. | :00:56. | |
finished as soon as possible so there is no way we would be having | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
this conversation without the public support. | :01:01. | :01:01. | |
Also on the programme: A call for us to keep an eye and an ear out | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
The countdown is on to the world's biggest sporting event, the | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
Olympics. Join me for the build-up in Rio. | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
And wet and windy weather is on the way, but how long | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
I'll have your forecast later in the programme. | :01:19. | :01:23. | |
The biggest Executive-backed jobs announcement in almost a year | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
will see 300 well-paid jobs created in Belfast. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
With grants of ?2 million, this investment is being seen | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
as a boost to the economy at a time when politicians disagree | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
over what damage - if any - Brexit will have in attracting | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
This report from our business correspondent, Julian O'Neill. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
300 jobs from a new inward investor is just the kind of news | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
Invest NI spent a year on the deal which has delivered | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
Tullett Prebon has its headquarters in London but has chosen Belfast | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
ahead of Asia or Europe for a new IT base. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
The First Minister says it sends out a positive message. | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
I will never talk down the Northern Ireland economy because my | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
experience as the Economy Minister has made it clear to me we have so | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
much to offer to companies across the world, whether our young people, | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
academic excellence, cost four accommodation and the fact we are | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
going to lower the rate of corporation tax, I think Northern | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
Ireland has a strong story to tell. Belfast has a track record | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
of attracting jobs in financial services which has put it | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
on the radar of a growing It was very much a global search. | :02:49. | :02:59. | |
Why we chose Belfast is the high level of skilled people in the | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
financial markets and technology area, combined with education, it | :03:05. | :03:05. | |
feels like the right place for us. It's a timely announcement | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
amid economic uncertainty But one half of the Executive | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
is concerned foreign companies may soon see Northern Ireland | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
as a less attractive location. There's no point living | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
in a fools' paradise. There is a tremendous amount | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
of uncertainty, and that inhibits our ability to be very | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
fully engaged with prospective investors who are, and had been up | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
until the Brexit result, very keen The jobs, created over a three-year | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
period, will pay well, ?33,000 on avergage, | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
with the company being offered Today's announcement is as good as a | :03:48. | :04:06. | |
business as usual sign hanging from the offices of Invest NI. The boost | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
is as obvious as it is welcome but the real challenges of Brexit are, | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
of course, yet to be faced. Four masked men have been involved | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
in a shooting at a hotel in Belleek Staff were threatened before one | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
shot was fired into a van belonging to a contractor who was working | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
at the hotel on Main Street The men were wearing dark overalls | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
with white stripes and balaclavas. They made off in a black Ford Escort | :04:29. | :04:39. | |
in the direction of the border. There's concern about what people | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
are describing as a rise in anti-social behaviour in | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Londonderry. It's not confined to one particular | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
area but in the Creggan estate Here's our North-West | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
reporter, Keiron Tourish. Community worker Shauna Deery awoke | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
this morning to find what looked like a bullet hole | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
through her front bedroom window. In fact, she now believes an air | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
rifle had been used to target She and her two-year-old | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
daughter were asleep She was really upset, was on her | :05:11. | :05:30. | |
telephone toy crying to pepper paid to say bad men had broken her | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
windows, she was staying she wants to stay in her granny's has tonight. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
That was the horrible thing, to see my daughter scared in her own home. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Another Creggan home targetted in recent days - | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
this time a resident who has lived here 40 years had her window broken. | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
She was too frightened to appear on camera. | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
They are on drugs, you see the drugs, the cars pulling up, | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
exchanging money for the drugs. The level of anti-social behaviour | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
isn't confined to any one estate. This derelict school was set on fire | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
last month in Graves have been attacked | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
in the city cemetery and cars are being stolen and later burned | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
out in different parts of the city. Back in Creggan, daily life | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
brings constant worry for 74-year-old Margaret McIntyre | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
who suffers from COPD. She sits nervously by | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
the front window, afraid They broke this glass with what's | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
believed to have been a baseball bat I came through all the Troubles and | :06:27. | :06:46. | |
never experienced anything like this. I don't know why because I | :06:47. | :06:58. | |
haven't got any problems with anybody. Around 200 residents of the | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Creggan estate recently attended a public meeting to outline their | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
concerns about anti-social behaviour. They say they are being | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
targeted in recent days because of their public stance and urged those | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
responsible to stop immediately. The Scottish Conservative leader has | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
called on politicians here to introduce equal marriage | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
for same-sex couples. Northern Ireland is the only | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
part of the UK where Ruth Davidson is in Belfast as part | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
of the Belfast Pride festival. Our political correspondent, | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
Stephen Walker, We are used to seeing murals but not | :07:34. | :07:47. | |
like this. This work in Belfast's Cathedral Quarter was made to | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
highlight the campaign for same-sex marriage here. And today the leader | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
of Scotland's Conservatives added her voice to that call. Ruth | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
Davidson has come here with a political message but also telling | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
her personal story. She is a practising Christian engaged to a | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Catholic woman from Ireland. She wants people in Northern Ireland to | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
have the same rights as in Scotland. I'm a Protestant, I'm engaged to a | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
Catholic Irishwoman from County works word who was educated by nuns | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
so for me this is not about a particular community or country or | :08:30. | :08:42. | |
faith background, this is people who are in love and loved in return | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
having the same rights as everybody else. Stormont has debated equal | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
average five times and although last year a majority of MLAs voted for | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
change, the move was blocked by a DUP petition of concern. Some of the | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
peculiarities within the Northern Ireland Assembly are being used in | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
ways they weren't designed to be used and when it comes to a majority | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
in the country and the parliament that support something, to use a | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
technique designed to protect minority to stop a minority having | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
the same site -- rights as everyone else, this needs to be looked at. | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
Some believe the law should not be changed. I believe it is contrary to | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
the teaching of God world and while you may chain standards of living | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
you cannot change scripture, the Bible says marriage is between a man | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
and a woman and once you move outside this you going to this area, | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
I did not believe marriage is based on inequality, it is based on a | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
complementary relationship between husband and wife. It may have been | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
debated many times at Stormont but it seems it will not be the last. | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
The issue may be debated in court and is also likely to be brought | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
back to the Assembly when MLAs return after the summer recess. | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
Next, the end of a dog detail that has had media attention across the | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
globe in recent weeks. A terrier called Hank was seized by Belfast | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
City Council and assessed as being a pit bull, which is illegal, but with | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
the aid of celebrities including Dermot O read and Carl Frampton, the | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
dog is back home. It was last month that two-year-old | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Hank was removed by dog wardens following a complaint from a member | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
of the public. One of his owners broke down | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
in court today as it was agreed Until the judge said | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
the words, we were afraid I can't get over it, | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
being able to see him Supporters erupted into spontaneous | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
applause inside the court. The campaign to highlight Hank's | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
seizure gained worldwide attention. We did not think Hank would be | :10:53. | :11:08. | |
coming home, especially this scene, without the support. Belfast City | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
Council Expedia to the process, we spoke to people who had similar | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
situations in England and here and it seems they responded to pressure | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
and we would not be having this conversation today without the | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
public support. But hang's owners say the fight does not end there, | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
they want to see changes in legislation to dangerous breeds. | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
Hank will have to undergo behavioural training | :11:44. | :11:44. | |
and also be kept on a lead and muzzle while in public. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
His family, though, say they are just relieved | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
Plenty to come before 7pm, including a rather unexpected | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
discovery during a dig at Hillsborough Castle which may | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
A new study suggests that people are still | :11:59. | :12:08. | |
Figures show there's been a significant fall in the number | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
of people owning their homes compared to ten years ago. | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
Industry experts are now pointing to several factors | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
which could partly explain this, as Rick Faragher | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
A growing number of people might not have the option. | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
Home ownership in Northern Ireland is down. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Over the last couple of years people have been paying so much in rent | :12:36. | :12:49. | |
that it could've gone to we deposit but it's desperation, they don't | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
have the properties and cannot get the money, some are relying on their | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
parents but they have to go into the rented sector. | :12:58. | :12:58. | |
Finances aside, could there be other factors in the decline of mortgages? | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
Younger people aren't feeling the need to graduate, get their first | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
pay cheque and go and buy a house, people are waiting longer, more in | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
line with other European cities where there is not the same need to | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
buy straightaway. This report shows 63% of people in Northern Ireland | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
have a mortgage, down from 73% ten years ago but roughly in line with | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
England and Scotland. The people behind the study say this now | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
suggests the issue of one-day owning your own home is not just a London | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
problem. Katie and her husband | :13:42. | :13:42. | |
bought their house in West Belfast two years ago via a co-ownership | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
deal, a scheme where they own only She says it's becoming harder | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
for young people to get a mortgage. We were both new into our jobs, the | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
banks required a certain security from you in terms of making the | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
commitment to payments every month, which you cannot really do, you have | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
the best aspirations in the world and are ready to go once you get out | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
of uni, and are ready to start your career but the requirements set for | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
us were not realistic. Anyone who was looking for a job, you don't | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
have an option to not live in that city or area so unless you work in a | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
financial position to afford a mortgage, the only option is to | :14:32. | :14:32. | |
rent. There's now speculation | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
that the Bank of England could cut That may go some way to making | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
mortgages more affordable - if you can get one in | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
the first place. A well-preserved human skeleton | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
which could be 1000 years old has been discovered in the grounds | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
of Hillsborough Castle. Archaeologists found it | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
during excavation work ahead They say it's unusual to find | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
remains of this age in such good condition and they hope it'll reveal | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
more about the history of the area. In recent decades it's | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
hosted royalty, But it seems the grounds | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
of Hillsborough Castle have been These archaeologists and volunteers | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
are uncovering an unknown history. And they didn't need | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
to dig deep to find it. These human remains were one of the | :15:23. | :15:37. | |
first thing to be found on the site, ten centimetres below soil level and | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
the experts think it's a young woman but the bones will be taken away | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
today for analysis in the hope that can be confirmed and we can find out | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
more about the life of this person. We arrived hoping to find the | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
remains of a 15th or 16th century church and about two hours into our | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
first day we found a skeleton. While that was initially believed to | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
belong to the church, we now think it might be about 1000 A.D., so many | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
hundreds years earlier. Other human remains found | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
on this ancient burial site The challenge now is to find | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
the remnants of the church building. Volunteers are doing | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
much of the work. The possibility of finding the | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
church floor is fascinating. We've already found a Georgian coin so | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
finding skeletons like this is fascinating as well. We're finding | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
flint scrapers dating back to the Neolithic period, so going back | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
maybe 6000 years and we are also finding Georgian corns, which I link | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
to the castle. You need stamina to keep this up. | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
The history uncovered here will be presented in a new visitor centre | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
Were talking and very long time ago, pre-broken records, so exciting to | :16:56. | :17:05. | |
find out more about Hillsborough before it was as we know it, the | :17:06. | :17:08. | |
Georgian style today. Once work is complete, | :17:09. | :17:09. | |
the site will be restored. And after revealing his or her | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
secrets, this person will once If you're taking a moonlit stroll | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
and you hear snoring, it may not be from a human but one | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
of these - a barn owl. A wildlife charity wants | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
the public's help in tracking down these elusive night-time | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
hunters and that sound Here's our agriculture | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
and environment I suppose you don't really know what | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
you will find. Nocturnal and secretive barn owls | :17:38. | :17:47. | |
aren't easy to find. Unless you're with Michael Calvert, | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
a farmer who manages his land to attract this threatened | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
and protected species. For a second year the birds | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
have used his owl boxes. Ringer David Galbraith gets the job | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
of sticking his hand in to retrieve them, not something done lightly | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
when powerful talons are in play. If I can get the hold of it, not | :18:04. | :18:19. | |
particularly difficult, but if it gets a hold of me, more difficult. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
But before long he's back down with one, and while we examine | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
this juvenile silent hunter, he heads back up for the other. | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Do you see the comb on the edge of this feather? You can't make out | :18:29. | :18:36. | |
like hairs coming off the leading edge. That breaks up the air and | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
deadens the sound of the wind beats. The other one is a feisty | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
and angry little barn owl. A couple of weeks younger | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
than her sister, she's It's not hard to see why | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
Michael Calvert enjoys them so much. I'm up very often at 4am to have a | :18:47. | :19:03. | |
look, if it's a wet night they will come back and the parents will set | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
on the platform and preen themselves in the morning sun, it is quite a | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
sight to see. Barn owls are a protected species and it is an | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
offence to disturb them at the nest, so to carry out that ringing | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
procedure we had to get an exemption from the Department of Agriculture | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
and the environment. Sightings of the adults are useful, | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
but they can range over What Ulster Wildlife really want | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
is to find new nests, and they're hoping the hungry chicks | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
which make this noise when they're We hope this year that the general | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
public will keep your ear open for barn owls, we hope they will listen | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
for the rasping, snoring sound checks make when they are begging | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
for food from their mum and dad and that scent can travel up to 100 | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
metres from a nest site. For now, though, it's time | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
to put our babies back. Fluff is still fighting and David | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
is glad to off-load this awkward little owl with his | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
hands still intact. Safe and sound. Athletes are | :20:08. | :20:20. | |
beginning to assemble in the Olympic Village this week at the games in | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Brazil approach. The opening ceremony is on Friday. Some of our | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
local competitors have arrived in Rio and therefore Newsline is | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Stephen Watson. Tourists flock annually to some of Rio's most | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
famous landmarks like the Copacabana beach, but for August the focus is | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
on the world's biggest sporting event. 10,500 competitors from 600 | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
companies will compete in over 300 events. 28 athletes are from | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
Northern Ireland, the biggest ever contingent at a games and they will | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
represent either Team GB for team Ireland. They are jetting in from | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
all corners of the globe for the biggest sporting show on Earth. It | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
is the first time the Olympic games has been staged in South America and | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
sunny Brazil is ready. In the impressive athletes Village, a | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
traditional welcome for team Ireland. They have a former gold | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
medallist from Northern Ireland in charge and his own Olympic veteran. | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
This is my 13th games and I am more excited to be here now, you have | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
different emotions but we want to make sure we have everything in | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
place so the guys can perform to their maximum, and if they do I am | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
sure we will come away with excellent performances. Among the | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
competitors from back home is Claire Abbott, who was at her first games | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
to compete in the venting. Quite a journey for workforce, which also | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
made the 10,000 mile trip. He has to go to competitions on a lorry for a | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
few hours so the plane is quite smooth for them. They are all happy, | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
we have great reports from the team vet, so we are delighted they are in | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
good form because they can't tell you if they feel just like so we | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
have to take it day by day. What advice would you give to young | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
athletes here for the first time? Do a couple of touristy things. Get it | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
out of the way and then start into your careening and embrace it and | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
enjoy it. There are high hopes for team Ireland's boxers in Rio with | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
Michael Conlan and Paddy Barnes, bronze medallists four years ago, | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
tipped to go even better this time, and as we continue our profile of | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Northern Ireland Olympians, Barnes told us of his desire to win a gold | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
medal, something no fighter from Northern Ireland has done at a games | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
before. Moments in Irish boxing history, John McNally wins silver in | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
1952 and Wayne McCulloch does the same 40 years later. These are the | :23:18. | :23:23. | |
best results by Northern Ireland boxers at the Olympics, but Paddy | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Barnes will look to go one better. Already a two-time bronze winner, he | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
wants one thing in Rio. In Beijing I qualified and got a bronze in | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
London, I thought I could have won gold but I fell short, I was happy | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
with bronze but I should win gold, I believe I will win gold. Barnes and | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
Conlon are favourites to return home as Olympic champions and one of | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
those silver medallists who went on to win a world title says they can. | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
I saw Paddy last week and I said, you're bringing a gold back this | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
time aren't you, and he said he is. If you get the good draw, you get | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
right to the final and win a gold medal, it's tough but I think we can | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
do it. Although Barnes has not made a definitive decision as to what he | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
will do after Rio, this will be his final Olympics. It's one of the best | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
experiences in your life, you have to go out and enjoy it and just do | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
what you normally do, because we have been all around the world | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
boxing, the Olympics are the same as any other tournament, it's bigger | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
but it's the same ring, same appointment so you just relax and do | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
your best. And hopefully his best will be good enough for gold. And | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
three-time Olympian Paddy Barnes will carry the flag for team Ireland | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
at the Olympic ceremony on Friday. We will have more from Rio tomorrow. | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
In Gaelic football, Cavan manager Derry Hyland has resigned. He guided | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Cavan to promotion of League 1 this year that they had a disappointing | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
championship campaign, losing a semifinal replay to turn around and | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
then in the All-Ireland qualifiers to Derry. The weather is next and a | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
fantastic picture but I bet that was not today. It wasn't, but this was | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
the sunset on the North Coast last night and I have an even better one, | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
the sun setting through the arch in Ballan toy and that only happens a | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
few times a year. Please keep your photos coming in, it has been a | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
disappointing day, maybe the odd glimmer of sunshine before nightfall | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
and then it turns unsettled with wet weather from the Atlantic, but a | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
warm night for many. Tomorrow will be wet and windy, courtesy of this | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
low swinging in from the Atlantic. Tight isobars, expect gusts of 50 | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
miles an hour along the Irish coast, inland maybe 40 miles an hour so it | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
will be blustery at times with outbreaks of rain making their way | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
east through the day. It won't always be raining, there will be dry | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
gaps but if you catch the rates it could be torrential so we could see | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
driving problems on the roads with surface break and flooding. If you | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
are travelling across Ireland tomorrow it will be unsettled | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
frantically everywhere, rain expected but windier conditions will | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
be further north and it will be treacherous in high areas with heavy | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
downpours. You will see outbreaks of rain right through until tomorrow | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
evening, maybe the odd glimmer of sunshine between those showers and | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
it will state that white overnight into Thursday but eventually it | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
begins to ease, temperatures tomorrow night between 12 and 14 | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
degrees. On Thursday there will be a few showers but much drier than | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
tomorrow and more sunny gaps. Towards the North Coast it will feel | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
a little fresh but inland maybe 19 degrees where we get the best of the | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
sunshine away from the winds. Not bad day on Friday, Saturday looks a | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
little warmer but unsettled weather, more detail closer to the time. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
That's it for now. Check out our Facebook page, a story from earlier | :27:39. | :27:46. | |
