:00:12. > :00:18.This is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines this Monday
:00:19. > :00:19.evening: The conclusions of an investigation
:00:20. > :00:23.into a child protection body are described as shocking.
:00:24. > :00:25.Relief for farmers over EU funding but fears continue over peace
:00:26. > :00:32.A rural Orange hall is badly damaged by arsonists.
:00:33. > :00:34.A row over an inquiry into alleged Irish ticket touting
:00:35. > :00:53.And a big shock for team Ireland as the Golden girl from London 2012,
:00:54. > :00:59.boxer Katie Taylor, is out. You know, I came in here prepared very
:01:00. > :01:01.well, I gave it my best shot and it just didn't happen.
:01:02. > :01:10.I'll be back with a look at how the rest of the week is shaping up.
:01:11. > :01:11.Social workers have described as shocking
:01:12. > :01:16.the content of a report into child protection.
:01:17. > :01:19.The report follows an independent review of the Safeguarding Board
:01:20. > :01:24.It has been criticised for not sharing vital information
:01:25. > :01:27.in some cases and for failing to set up a panel
:01:28. > :01:29.Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly
:01:30. > :01:50.Protecting children from harm is a huge responsibility from the -- for
:01:51. > :01:53.the Department of Health. To improve how that works, the safeguarding
:01:54. > :01:57.board was established. Made up of representatives including the
:01:58. > :02:00.police, health trusts and social services, it aimed to establish
:02:01. > :02:05.greater communication between groups sought to better protect children.
:02:06. > :02:08.However, an independent review led by Professor Alexis Jay said the
:02:09. > :02:13.board failed and what it was asked to do. Now appointed to lead the
:02:14. > :02:18.National inquiry into child sex abuse, her findings here have caused
:02:19. > :02:26.alarm. The report, I have to be honest was quite shocking, firstly
:02:27. > :02:29.with the clarity, and it was very clear the concerns, but also Alexis
:02:30. > :02:33.did not hold back from things difficult things that were hard to
:02:34. > :02:36.read as a professional social worker. It is a highly critical
:02:37. > :02:40.report which I led to the board spent too much time on wrong issues.
:02:41. > :02:48.But tensions existed between those at the top and a lack of structure
:02:49. > :02:50.provided, prevented vital information being shared. For
:02:51. > :02:53.example, on that board, if the medical profession agreed to share
:02:54. > :02:56.with the trusts, everybody else, for example the mental health and
:02:57. > :02:59.well-being of the parent, and then the becomes unwell, they can share
:03:00. > :03:04.that information with the social worker who can take preventative
:03:05. > :03:08.action. It is that critical sharing of information that helps us to work
:03:09. > :03:11.preventively rather than waiting until the incident happens. While
:03:12. > :03:14.the review does not the children were harmed as a result of poor
:03:15. > :03:18.practice, it does say that the proper mechanisms were not in place
:03:19. > :03:23.for properly recording children's deaths. We do have children who die
:03:24. > :03:29.in unexpected circumstances. Particularly our adolescence. And
:03:30. > :03:32.what she says in this report is that the overview panel had not been set
:03:33. > :03:37.up but there is too many processors and a lot of confusion about who
:03:38. > :03:40.gets what information when a child dies, particularly when it is
:03:41. > :03:44.unexpected. That has to be streamlined and it has to be clear
:03:45. > :03:48.what happens. One of the running themes in this review is the lack of
:03:49. > :03:52.communication that existed between the various organisations in place
:03:53. > :03:57.to protect children. But perhaps equally shocking is the fact that
:03:58. > :04:00.very few people who work in this area have been informed of the
:04:01. > :04:06.review's recommendations, or have even been told that the report has
:04:07. > :04:12.been published. The review makes 11 recommendations, including that the
:04:13. > :04:16.board is notified of all deaths and children who have been significantly
:04:17. > :04:20.harmed. Job protection must be prioritised. A review of staff roles
:04:21. > :04:24.and grades should be undertaken immediately and learning must be
:04:25. > :04:28.disseminated more quickly. The Department of Health says it has
:04:29. > :04:32.asked for all of the recommendations to be fermented without delay. --
:04:33. > :04:34.implemented. Farmers were given some good news
:04:35. > :04:37.over the weekend as the Treasury gave a commitment to guarantee
:04:38. > :04:39.direct payments to them until 2020. The move has been welcomed
:04:40. > :04:42.by the Agriculture Minister Michelle McIlveen as a positive step ending
:04:43. > :04:44.uncertainty over the UK's departure from the European
:04:45. > :04:46.common agricultural policy. However, the Finance
:04:47. > :04:47.Minister Mairtin O'Muilleoir has voiced his concern
:04:48. > :04:50.that peace and cross border projects not approved within the next
:04:51. > :04:52.three months could be in peril. Here's our political
:04:53. > :05:09.editor Mark Devenport. Northern Ireland gets ?230 million
:05:10. > :05:14.in direct farm payments from the European Union every year. That is
:05:15. > :05:18.around 10% of all such agricultural support across the UK. So the
:05:19. > :05:24.Treasury's guarantee that it will cover those payments until 2020
:05:25. > :05:30.provides vital short-term relief for local farmers. It does get some
:05:31. > :05:34.securities into former's businesses through to 2020, but of course,
:05:35. > :05:38.then, the big challenge after that is certainly what happens next. But
:05:39. > :05:43.hopefully in the interim period we can try and devise some sort of
:05:44. > :05:49.support system which will sit UK agriculture. The European Union's
:05:50. > :05:53.peace fund bankroll high-profile projects like the peace Bridge
:05:54. > :05:57.across the river Foyle, whilst it is cross-border programme financed
:05:58. > :06:02.ventures like the goblin's walkway along the Antrim coast. The
:06:03. > :06:05.Chancellor has guaranteed his approval for Project signed off
:06:06. > :06:09.before his statement due in November, but after that he will
:06:10. > :06:14.look at future schemes on a case-by-case basis. I have asked the
:06:15. > :06:19.Irish Government -- have asked, the Irish government an Executive at
:06:20. > :06:24.last to have a guarantee that all peace funding would be fulfilled and
:06:25. > :06:27.honoured between now and 2020. He has fallen short of making that
:06:28. > :06:31.pledge. If we are not want to get proper consultation and I can see
:06:32. > :06:37.problems going forward. Really the Executive need to up its game. Put a
:06:38. > :06:39.real plan in place and go across and negotiate with Westminster to get
:06:40. > :06:43.the best deal for Northern Ireland. Stormont ministers want to be fully
:06:44. > :06:47.engaged in the brick that negotiations. But given the number
:06:48. > :06:51.of competing interests in play, this probably will not be the last year
:06:52. > :06:55.then complaining about not being kept in the picture. -- in the
:06:56. > :06:56.Brexit negotiations. An Orange Hall near Ballyronan
:06:57. > :06:58.in County Londonderry has been badly
:06:59. > :07:00.damaged in an arson attack. It is the 21st such
:07:01. > :07:13.attack on Orange Order It is now a familiar story, a tiny
:07:14. > :07:17.rural Orange Hall empty unblocked for the night is set on fire. In
:07:18. > :07:23.remote areas, it is lucky if is spotted before it doesn't do much
:07:24. > :07:27.damage. And, indeed, a neighbour on this road out the smoke alarm. The
:07:28. > :07:34.extensive damage to the building and its content has shocked the large
:07:35. > :07:38.master. A banner, and a variety of musical instruments were destroyed.
:07:39. > :07:43.All through the trouble is, when they were very bad, we never had any
:07:44. > :07:46.problems. It is out of the Road down here and you would have to come down
:07:47. > :07:50.here looking for it, other than that he would not find it. There has been
:07:51. > :07:53.no bad feeling between neighbours or anything like that, Protestants and
:07:54. > :07:57.Catholics, we always got one the best. This is the latest in a long
:07:58. > :08:04.line of attack on Orange hall. There have been 21 reported in the last
:08:05. > :08:07.year alone. The Orange Order is so concerned that its officials are to
:08:08. > :08:11.meet the police in the next three days to discuss the trend. Only two
:08:12. > :08:13.years ago, there is an hundred and 20-year-old hall was completely
:08:14. > :08:19.renovated. Now, they're faced with picking up the pieces of a wrecked
:08:20. > :08:21.building. -- is 120-year-old Paul was completely renovated. Now,
:08:22. > :08:22.they're faced with picking up the pieces of a wrecked building. --
:08:23. > :08:25.this 120-year-old hall. A fire at a derelict
:08:26. > :08:27.building in Sion Mills The blaze at the former
:08:28. > :08:30.Herdman's Mills last night lasted for about three hours
:08:31. > :08:32.and caused significant damage. There has been a series of arson
:08:33. > :08:36.attacks at the site in recent years, including two fires within the space
:08:37. > :08:38.of two days in June. You're watching BBC
:08:39. > :08:42.Newsline and still to come: The latest on a story about claims
:08:43. > :08:50.of a huge fraud in renewable energy. An alleged ticket touting scandal
:08:51. > :08:53.in Rio has led to a row between the Republic's government
:08:54. > :08:56.and the Olympic Council of Ireland. One wants independent
:08:57. > :08:57.representatives involved in an inquiry into what happened,
:08:58. > :08:59.the other doesn't. BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson
:09:00. > :09:17.has the latest. All the countries competing at the
:09:18. > :09:21.Olympics are allocated tickets. Part of the Irish allocation was seized
:09:22. > :09:27.by police investigating a ticket touting scam in Rio. They were being
:09:28. > :09:29.sold for inflated prices. Tickets for the opening ceremony were
:09:30. > :09:34.allegedly being offered for four times their face value. Leaving the
:09:35. > :09:39.Olympic Council of Ireland with questions to answer. They have
:09:40. > :09:42.insisted they did nothing wrong. They are investigating what happened
:09:43. > :09:49.but have rejected calls for an independent inquiry. , I can tell
:09:50. > :09:52.you that only senior council's advise we are carrying out her own
:09:53. > :09:58.investigation, which have already started. -- that under senior
:09:59. > :10:01.counsel's advise. We are not investigating ourselves, we are
:10:02. > :10:05.investigating the trail of the tickets and whatever happened and we
:10:06. > :10:09.have to get the answers. The Irish Sports Minister tried to change his
:10:10. > :10:13.mind during an hour-long meeting in Rio last night. But he did not
:10:14. > :10:21.succeed. I am absolutely stunned by the reaction. I cannot believe that
:10:22. > :10:26.the... Will refuse to take an independent on inquiry. We are
:10:27. > :10:31.certainly looking at the prospect of a different inquiry that is not been
:10:32. > :10:36.ruled out. While the dispute continues between the sports chief
:10:37. > :10:39.Andy Sports Minister, the authorities in the sale are
:10:40. > :10:44.continuing their investigation. An Irish businessman was arrested last
:10:45. > :10:49.week and this evening a Brazilian judge ordered the arrest of four
:10:50. > :10:53.other people. All believed to be executives from an international
:10:54. > :10:58.sports hospitality company. It has been a difficult Olympics for the
:10:59. > :10:59.Irish team, and there is no sign of the ticket controversy going away.
:11:00. > :11:03.Mike Simson, BBC Newsline. Stephen Watson will be live from Rio
:11:04. > :11:09.later in the programme. He will have the latest on the
:11:10. > :11:12.sporting action from today. Next an update on
:11:13. > :11:14.a BBC Newsline story about the alleged abuse
:11:15. > :11:16.of a renewable energy scheme. A whistle blower claims some
:11:17. > :11:19.companies have defrauded the system Well, experts have begun checking
:11:20. > :11:24.those who took advantage although the Department
:11:25. > :11:29.of the Economy says it has no plans to publish an internal
:11:30. > :11:34.review of how it was run. Our agriculture and environment
:11:35. > :11:49.correspondent Renewable heat was good business for
:11:50. > :11:52.John Martin's company. He put wood burning boilers into nursing homes,
:11:53. > :11:56.golf clubs and factories, which wanted to switch from oil and were
:11:57. > :12:04.attracted by a generous government subsidy. But the whole scheme was
:12:05. > :12:10.loosely run and open to abuse. With no cap on payments, the more you
:12:11. > :12:13.burned, the more you earn. A whistle-blower claimed some
:12:14. > :12:19.companies put in boilers they did not need, that a farmer was eating
:12:20. > :12:23.an empty shed. Each was hoping to rack up ?1 million of profit over 20
:12:24. > :12:29.years. The tax payer you would have to foot the bill. Auditors said that
:12:30. > :12:34.could be up to ?150 million over the next five years. That prompted
:12:35. > :12:39.several investigations, including a joint one by the Department of the
:12:40. > :12:43.economy and the regulator Ofgem. It helped run the scheme here. With
:12:44. > :12:46.being an industry, we have heard rumours were some of the
:12:47. > :12:50.installations may not be to the scheme requirements. We welcome the
:12:51. > :12:53.fact that Ofgem are now doing audits and accreditations on the schemes,
:12:54. > :12:57.which will identify those which are not eligible to be in the scheme. It
:12:58. > :13:06.was designed to be energy saving, not a scheme to make money. The
:13:07. > :13:09.economy department have already been given pride of the review commission
:13:10. > :13:12.to identify potential abuses but says there are no plans to publish
:13:13. > :13:15.the report when it has been finalised. That just leaves a second
:13:16. > :13:19.defendant audit commissioned by the economy minister. Auditors are
:13:20. > :13:22.already on the ground checking a percentage of the installations.
:13:23. > :13:26.Amongst the abuse they are looking for suggestions that empty sheds
:13:27. > :13:33.were be needed just for the sake of the subsidy and that in some cases
:13:34. > :13:36.he was being diverted to people's homes. It will be September before
:13:37. > :13:41.the Minister's independent audit is complete. Only then, and only if it
:13:42. > :13:42.is published, all taxpayers here get a truer picture of how much public
:13:43. > :13:53.money has gone up in smoke. Also coming up:
:13:54. > :13:59.Four wins from Ian Hutcheson at the Ulster Grand Prix. We will not all
:14:00. > :14:00.of the action. -- we will have all the action.
:14:01. > :14:02.Two riders seriously injured in this year's North West 200
:14:03. > :14:05.have returned to the spot where they crashed for the first time.
:14:06. > :14:07.One of them has just got out of hospital
:14:08. > :14:10.while the other is out of competition for two years.
:14:11. > :14:23.Returning to the crash site where he almost died just three months ago,
:14:24. > :14:30.Ryan Farquhar says he is lucky to be alive. The writer says his thoughts
:14:31. > :14:35.were of a fellow racer killed in almost the same place just two days
:14:36. > :14:42.later. It is one thing, because I have crashed and hurt myself pretty
:14:43. > :14:47.badly, but with Mitchell having a similar crash to myself and sadly he
:14:48. > :14:51.did not make it, you know, it puts it into even more perspective how
:14:52. > :14:56.lucky I am to be here. Despite what he has been through, Ryan said he is
:14:57. > :15:00.not ready to quit racing. I am hoping that I do not have to, you
:15:01. > :15:09.know, hang my leathers up. Do these circumstances. I do not want to
:15:10. > :15:12.finish my career that way. So I will be very, very determined to get my
:15:13. > :15:17.racing licence back and take part in a race, maybe even a classic race or
:15:18. > :15:23.some sort of race, but my career is not finished, I hope. This was
:15:24. > :15:26.difficult to hear for the North West 200. Competitor Ben Wilson broke his
:15:27. > :15:32.leg so badly at this friend there were fears he had lost it. It was
:15:33. > :15:36.only 45 minutes from losing a leg, because it was the a severe break.
:15:37. > :15:39.The blood flow to it was not great. But the surgeons sorted that out and
:15:40. > :15:43.I have still got my leg and we are trying to get everything sorted so
:15:44. > :15:48.that we can get back on the bike as soon as possible. Race organisers
:15:49. > :15:51.admit that whatever safety precautions are taken, the North
:15:52. > :15:54.West 200 can never be deemed totally safe. It is a road race. It is high
:15:55. > :15:58.speeds. It has to be realised that that is what it is, at the end of
:15:59. > :16:02.the day. But from an organiser point of view, or you can work as it is to
:16:03. > :16:06.make it as safe as you possibly can. Plans for next's Road race are
:16:07. > :16:10.already underway but for now this will go ahead without Ryan Farquhar
:16:11. > :16:13.and Ben Wilson. An incident that involved a lorry
:16:14. > :16:15.getting stuck under a bridge has led to a campaign to try
:16:16. > :16:18.to protect one of Ireland's medieval
:16:19. > :16:19.fortifications. Saint Laurence Gate in Drogheda
:16:20. > :16:22.dates back to Norman times. Our Dublin correspondent
:16:23. > :16:38.Shane Harrison has more. At the most of the River Barrow,
:16:39. > :16:42.this -- River Boyne, this town is steeped in history, with many iconic
:16:43. > :16:46.sites. The town was worse, once a fortress and some of those
:16:47. > :16:52.fortifications remain, including Saint Laurence Gate, built on the
:16:53. > :16:55.13th century. At the moment, traffic can pass on to the gate but an
:16:56. > :16:58.independent councillor hopes that will soon change. We have never been
:16:59. > :17:01.able to get the full support of the Council and when you look at the
:17:02. > :17:06.structure, and you look at its history, it was there to protect
:17:07. > :17:09.from the invasion for the town. It withstood Cromwell and many
:17:10. > :17:14.invasions and, really and truly, to have it damaged by a truck, which
:17:15. > :17:19.could close it after 800 years, would be a sin if we were to let
:17:20. > :17:23.that happen. Sin or not, a truck recently got stuck trying to pass
:17:24. > :17:26.through the arch. Since then, thousands had signed a petition
:17:27. > :17:30.demanding that the date be closed to traffic. Our idea is to protect the
:17:31. > :17:35.gate and all of the medieval architectural structures in the town
:17:36. > :17:40.and make the gate at the gateway to the north-east. And for this to be
:17:41. > :17:46.the jewel of that. It is a laudable goal and one that seems to have the
:17:47. > :17:52.support of most of the townspeople. It should be closed. From a
:17:53. > :17:56.practical point of view, it is really dangerous for traffic as it
:17:57. > :18:00.is anyway. And apart from that, as a tourist attraction, we cannot really
:18:01. > :18:04.use it. People cannot get near it and cannot get up on it because it
:18:05. > :18:08.is dangerous. It should been closed to traffic years ago. It is
:18:09. > :18:13.no-brainer and if the will was there in the council, it would have been
:18:14. > :18:16.closed years ago. So who might be opposed to the campaign? Taxi
:18:17. > :18:20.drivers, I was told, because they believe it would add to the already
:18:21. > :18:24.bad congestion. But amongst them, there was divided opinion and nobody
:18:25. > :18:28.wanted to see anything on camera. If the campaigners get their way, Saint
:18:29. > :18:30.Laurence Gate might see the last vehicle pass on to it later this
:18:31. > :18:35.year. -- pass under it. Now sport, and there was another
:18:36. > :18:50.shock for Team Ireland's Stephen?
:18:51. > :18:56.Thank you. Team Ireland's Olympic boxing story started badly before a
:18:57. > :19:03.punch was even from, when Michael Riley failed a drugs test. He has
:19:04. > :19:05.since admitted that he took a supplement that may contain a banned
:19:06. > :19:09.substance. And then his team-mates started exiting the competition won
:19:10. > :19:12.by one. Starting with the most experienced fighter, Paddy Barnes,
:19:13. > :19:16.who lost his opening fight. He was of course a double bronze Olympic
:19:17. > :19:22.medallist. And then, today, Katie Taylor, London 2012 gold medal
:19:23. > :19:24.winner, was the latest to fall. A decision which left the team very
:19:25. > :19:31.unhappy. Distraught after a disappointing
:19:32. > :19:37.defeat. Katie Taylor was the Golden girl of team Ireland four years ago.
:19:38. > :19:43.But she was dethroned after a tough first fight today. A split decision
:19:44. > :19:45.and a hard one for her to take on. COMMENTATOR: The reigning Olympic
:19:46. > :19:51.champion has been eliminated at the quarterfinal stage. It has been a
:19:52. > :19:56.very tough year. I suffered it, you know, a lot of losses this year and
:19:57. > :20:00.it is very hard to take but the Olympics was really it for me and
:20:01. > :20:08.I... I came in here prepared very well, I give it my best shot and it
:20:09. > :20:12.just didn't happen. So that just leaves Michael Conlon to fly the
:20:13. > :20:17.flag for the boxers. The Belfast man says he can handle the expectation
:20:18. > :20:22.and is confident of still delivering gold. COMMENTATOR: Conlon stood toe
:20:23. > :20:27.to toe and box... A lot of pressure and I love what it brings. It was a
:20:28. > :20:32.tough contest. My legs kind of didn't do what I wanted them to do
:20:33. > :20:36.today. They wanted to go to war and I wanted to box. I got into a war
:20:37. > :20:40.and it is what it is. I got the win as I progressed to the next round
:20:41. > :20:45.and I will get better. And Conlon is back in the ring tomorrow.
:20:46. > :20:50.Yes, Michael Kohlmann will try to salvage these Olympic games for the
:20:51. > :20:50.boxers. Team Ireland retain medal
:20:51. > :20:53.interest in two classes. Annalise Murphy starts today's medal
:20:54. > :20:56.race in the women's Laser Radial in third position and is still well
:20:57. > :21:00.placed to contest for gold, while Ryan Seaton
:21:01. > :21:02.and Matt McGovern are going well They will start today's racing lying
:21:03. > :21:18.in fourth position overall. We will hear from both of them
:21:19. > :21:19.tomorrow. No to something slightly faster.
:21:20. > :21:21.Ian Hutchinson dominated Saturday's Ulster Grand Prix meeting
:21:22. > :21:24.as the Englishman had four wins, including both Superbike races.
:21:25. > :21:31.Gavin Andrews reports on the action at Dundrod.
:21:32. > :21:37.Michael Dunlop started on pole position as the superstock race
:21:38. > :21:41.opened proceedings. But he lost that initiative at the very start and had
:21:42. > :21:45.to work his way back into contention. Eventually passing race
:21:46. > :21:50.leader Ian Hutchinson at the sweet. But on the last lap, hesitation
:21:51. > :21:54.behind a back markers for the English raider retain a decisive
:21:55. > :21:59.advantage for his first win of the day. Just had to be patient and make
:22:00. > :22:02.a plan. Obviously the only thing that could go wrong it was red
:22:03. > :22:07.flagged, because I wanted to do that on the last lap. It was tight, we
:22:08. > :22:10.came across the back marker and it was who ever came across it first
:22:11. > :22:16.would win so I had to make sure I was pass first. There was an
:22:17. > :22:21.exciting tussle in the first a good sport race as he battled with Bruce.
:22:22. > :22:25.A red flag for a premature end to proceedings, leaving antsy as race
:22:26. > :22:31.winner. After a first ever Super Pole qualifying lap around the
:22:32. > :22:37.circuit, there was a 3-way battle as Ian Hutchinson finished ahead of
:22:38. > :22:41.Dunlop and Ansti. And two more victories would follow in the super
:22:42. > :22:45.sport and Superbike races. Quite a day for the Yorkshire man.
:22:46. > :22:48.And you can watch a special highlights programme of the action
:22:49. > :22:51.on BBC Two tonight from nine o'clock.
:22:52. > :22:52.In the Danskebank Premiership, champions Crusaders and last
:22:53. > :22:55.season's runners-up Linfield both remain unbeaten
:22:56. > :22:57.after their clash at the weekend ended in stalemate.
:22:58. > :23:15.The first real heavyweight clash of the season was in truth a bit of a
:23:16. > :23:19.disappointment. Linfield went down to ten men when Steven Laurie got a
:23:20. > :23:26.second yellow. Buddy David Healy's side were able to repel all of the
:23:27. > :23:29.champions -- all the champions could throw at them in a scoreless draw. I
:23:30. > :23:34.felt it was a nothing game. The ball was in the ear too much. Both sets
:23:35. > :23:37.of defenders on top when the headers out of there. There was very little
:23:38. > :23:40.football played in the game. It was hurly-burly and all that type of
:23:41. > :23:46.stuff but for me it was not a great game of football to watch. In stark
:23:47. > :23:51.contrast to mourn Viewpark, where Cliftonville got a 2-1 lead, only
:23:52. > :23:59.for yet another dramatic comeback with two late goals and a 3-2 win.
:24:00. > :24:05.Character snatched three points at the Oval, courtesy of McGill.
:24:06. > :24:14.Well Dungannon ran a comfortable 4-0 winner.
:24:15. > :24:23.A Tony came penalty got this team their first victory of the season.
:24:24. > :24:25.And this late winner against Portadown leaves their team on
:24:26. > :24:26.unbeaten. we'll have the result
:24:27. > :24:38.on our later bulletin. Which of our local competitors do
:24:39. > :24:41.you think we should be keeping an eye on at the Olympics, with just a
:24:42. > :24:44.week to go? Team Ireland are sadly running out
:24:45. > :24:50.of medal opportunities but tomorrow all eyes will be on Belfast boxer
:24:51. > :24:53.Michael Conlon. Seven of our boxers have lost, he is the only one
:24:54. > :24:56.remaining in the competition. He has a tough fight against a Russian
:24:57. > :24:59.opponent who has beaten him before, but Michael is a European and world
:25:00. > :25:03.champion and we are all keeping our fingers crossed that he can bring
:25:04. > :25:07.home cold for a team Ireland. Lets hope so. We will talk to you
:25:08. > :25:13.tomorrow again. Thank you for now. The weather forecast
:25:14. > :25:21.is next with Cecilia Daly. We had 23 degrees today and tomorrow
:25:22. > :25:25.we could see temperatures a degree or so higher. It has been sunny
:25:26. > :25:32.across practically the whole of Ireland, hardly a cloud around, for
:25:33. > :25:36.a perfect day for the beach for those on their holidays. That is
:25:37. > :25:38.what some people did today so I can tell you from personal experience,
:25:39. > :25:41.last week there were very few people in the water! If they were, they had
:25:42. > :25:46.wet suits on rather than bathing suits. It is great to see some rain
:25:47. > :25:49.is on the north coast today. Another taste of summer to come tomorrow but
:25:50. > :25:53.cloudy weather moves in on Wednesday and Thursday, bringing some rain but
:25:54. > :25:57.still of warmth throughout. The end of the week, however, will be more
:25:58. > :26:01.unsettled. Hopefully you can get a sneaky day off tomorrow and enjoy it
:26:02. > :26:03.enjoy it. It is a fine evening and clear night to come to stop
:26:04. > :26:10.temperatures will drop away, possibly just dipping into single
:26:11. > :26:14.figures in one or two spot in the countryside. First thing tomorrow,
:26:15. > :26:17.for those up very early, it will be a little bit cooler, perhaps some
:26:18. > :26:19.early morning mist, but it will rapidly warm and any mistiness will
:26:20. > :26:21.disappear because there were once again be lots of blue sky and
:26:22. > :26:25.virgin. The breeze makes all the difference and, again, it is from
:26:26. > :26:30.the south or sites so that means that temperatures could will peak up
:26:31. > :26:34.towards the north coast. -- site or South East. We may well see 25
:26:35. > :26:38.somewhere tomorrow, so it will feel warm at those beaches on the north
:26:39. > :26:42.coast. A little bit cooler on our beaches at the East Coast, with the
:26:43. > :26:46.breeze finally and off the sea, but still quite nice. Temperatures in my
:26:47. > :26:57.team. A lovely day with strong sunshine, which we are not that used
:26:58. > :26:59.to over the last weeks! Later in the day, we may well see a couple of
:27:00. > :27:02.showers moving in from the West. Particularly tomorrow evening and
:27:03. > :27:04.tomorrow night. It will be a warm one tomorrow night, temperatures in
:27:05. > :27:07.many places in the teens. This area of rain behind me as a weather front
:27:08. > :27:09.which will struggle to come eastwards through Wednesday and
:27:10. > :27:12.Thursday. It means eventually cloud and some rain coming in and then
:27:13. > :27:19.this area of low pressure is what we need to keep an eye on for next
:27:20. > :27:23.weekend, bringing some fairly blustery winds and somewhat
:27:24. > :27:25.persistent rain. On Wednesday, still someone's around, not as sunny. Some
:27:26. > :27:26.wet weather, mainly in the West. Temperatures gradually drop towards
:27:27. > :27:29.the end of the week. You can also keep in contact with us
:27:30. > :27:38.via Facebook and twitter.
