:08:47. > :08:51.reinvest and underfunded pension scheme. Then when things got bad he
:08:52. > :08:59.couldn't off-load it, couldn't find anyone, and sold to ?1 to Dominic
:09:00. > :09:02.Chappell. They said Dominic Chappel was unsuited to running a business
:09:03. > :09:08.like this. He didn't have very much money. This shop survived the

:10:50. > :10:56.if I didn't think I was the right person to lead the service I

:11:33. > :11:36.report. A lot more work needs to be done but the reform has been
:11:37. > :11:41.embedded. But her record divides opinion. The prison service has been
:11:42. > :11:47.left in a much worse shape over the course of the last four years and --
:11:48. > :11:51.than Sue McAllister foundered. The drugs problem in the prison behind
:11:52. > :11:57.us is absolutely right. The assaults on prisoners and prison staff, has
:11:58. > :11:59.went up. This has not been a tenure which can be looked at in any going
:12:00. > :12:01.way. Sue McAllister said,
:12:02. > :12:03.with the conclusion of a reform programme in March, her role has
:12:04. > :12:06.come to a natural end. She also paid tribute
:12:07. > :12:09.to two prison officers David Black and Adrian Ismay,

:13:47. > :13:59.were still being paid That is contrary to the
:14:00. > :14:01.determination and commission, if it thinks these were OK, it is quite
:14:02. > :14:02.wrong. Now details have emerged

:14:05. > :14:06.Trevor Reaney. The review acknowledges
:14:07. > :14:09.the regularity of more than ?65,000 paid to MLAs between January 2013
:14:10. > :14:15.and March 2015 was in doubt. It put this down to a discrepancy
:14:16. > :14:21.between the handbook telling MLAs what expenses they can claim
:14:22. > :14:23.and the rules laid down Because the money was claimed
:14:24. > :14:27.in good faith by the politicians, the Assembly has decided there's no

:15:44. > :15:48.into Rio police headquarters, Kevin Kilty and Stephen Martin walked back
:15:49. > :15:52.out again. Last weekend the police seized their passports as part of a
:15:53. > :15:56.probe into the mis-selling of Olympic tickets. According to the
:15:57. > :16:02.police they were always only witnesses rather than suspects.

:16:08. > :16:11.A judge will now make the final decision of the return of the men's

:16:19. > :16:23.testimony integrated Olympic committee president Patrick Hickey
:16:24. > :16:26.was in charge of the ticketing. He along with another Irish official
:16:27. > :16:32.Kevin Mallon were arrested in connection with the mis-selling of
:16:33. > :16:37.tickets. They are now both sharing a cell at the maximum security prison
:16:38. > :16:42.in Rio. Today Pat Hickey's family say they are very concerned about
:16:43. > :16:46.his welfare. They called on the Irish government to intervene,
:16:47. > :16:50.saying they were gravely concerned about the effect this degrading and
:16:51. > :16:56.humiliating ordeal was having on his help. They have described his arrest
:16:57. > :17:02.as entirely inappropriate and unacceptable for a 71-year-old Irish
:17:03. > :17:05.citizen and are requesting an urgent meeting with the Irish Minister for
:17:06. > :17:11.foreign affairs and the Irish sports minister to discuss the manner of
:17:12. > :17:14.his arrest and detention. Pat Hickey's lawyers are currently
:17:15. > :17:16.seeking a second bail application and have gone to court in an attempt
:17:17. > :17:20.to speed up the process. A 17th century castle "lost"
:17:21. > :17:23.for more than 250 years has been rediscovered in the border
:17:24. > :17:25.town of Clones. An archaeological excavation
:17:26. > :17:29.had failed to uncover the remains of the castle,
:17:30. > :17:31.but it was there. Our south west reporter
:17:32. > :17:44.Julian Fowler has been to see Hiding in plain sight. But there are
:17:45. > :17:53.a few clues as to what lies hidden here. Just of this in Clones is
:17:54. > :17:56.Castle Street and Castle house. When two historians recently explored
:17:57. > :18:00.behind these buildings, crossing over barbed wire and through
:18:01. > :18:04.brambles, they made a discovery which now seems obvious. They found
:18:05. > :18:12.a castle. How long has it been missing for? Since the 1760s I would
:18:13. > :18:17.say. It has been missing since the new Street was built in front. I
:18:18. > :18:20.think there is a bit of folklore. Kids may be played here when they
:18:21. > :18:26.were young and pretended it was a castle and they were right, it is a
:18:27. > :18:32.castle. Recently used as a place to dump rubbish, until now experts have
:18:33. > :18:39.dismissed it as an old agricultural outbuilding. They always dismissed
:18:40. > :18:43.it as of no great importance. I know I was certainly present with some of
:18:44. > :18:47.them and they don't think they even came inside the building, just gave
:18:48. > :18:52.it a cursory glance and dismissed it. When a nearby excavation field
:18:53. > :18:57.to find evidence of the building, it was assumed to be castle, built in
:18:58. > :19:03.the 16 hundredths, no longer existed. Now it can reclaim its
:19:04. > :19:09.place in history. Clones has a lot of historical depth to it, early
:19:10. > :19:14.Christian sites, are Abbey. This is the next piece of the jigsaw. We
:19:15. > :19:21.have what we believe to be a remnant of the plantation castle, it means
:19:22. > :19:26.that Clones really has got little bits of every period of Irish
:19:27. > :19:32.history of standing in the town. Having cleared the undergrowth, the
:19:33. > :19:37.defence of features have been revealed, including the musket slips
:19:38. > :19:40.to ward off attackers. There is local folklore of tunnels hidden
:19:41. > :19:45.beneath the town, so there could yet be more discoveries lurking within
:19:46. > :19:49.these walls. Having rediscovered their castle, the plan is known to
:19:50. > :19:55.carry out some archaeology to find out what else could be hidden here.
:19:56. > :19:58.Now sport, and with the Ryder Cup fast approaching, it's a good time
:19:59. > :20:04.Yes - Rory McIlroy has been showing some better form on day two
:20:05. > :20:05.of the Barclays tournament in New York.
:20:06. > :20:08.He has just shot a second round of 69, that's two under par,

:21:07. > :21:09.in the Danske Bank Premiership. Newly promoted Ards are the league
:21:10. > :21:11.leaders and travel to Mourneview Park to take
:21:12. > :21:14.on a Glenavon side who lost heavily Their manager is expecting
:21:15. > :21:27.a response tonight. It would be happening again, that is
:21:28. > :21:32.for sure. We weren't happy. -- won't. The players have to realise
:21:33. > :21:35.there are loads waiting in the wings coming back from injury and will be
:21:36. > :21:39.back in the next three or four weeks. If I had the opportunity
:21:40. > :21:42.there would be five or six changes, but we don't have that
:21:43. > :21:46.unfortunately, so we have to go with what we go with. Hopefully this time
:21:47. > :21:51.the boys will take the opportunity and get back in the swing of things.
:21:52. > :21:54.I would say we will get Gwen Aven on top form. We will enjoy it. It is a

:22:08. > :22:13.display from Derry City - this time in the cup
:22:14. > :22:16.against Bohemians last week. Harry Monaghan put them
:22:17. > :22:18.ahead in the first half. The Candystripes scored a second
:22:19. > :22:20.after the break League form's been eye catching too
:22:21. > :22:25.- Derry are currently second and have only lost four times
:22:26. > :22:38.in 23 matches. I think team spirit is a big thing
:22:39. > :22:43.from me. Player development. If you put those two together, they are
:22:44. > :22:49.quite a bit of the way down the road with your squad. There is in such
:22:50. > :22:53.thing as an expert or someone who knows it all. You just want to do it
:22:54. > :22:56.in association with the culture of the club and try and married those
:22:57. > :23:01.two together and do what you think is right for this particular club.
:23:02. > :23:05.Things are working quite well for us at the moment. It is important we do
:23:06. > :23:06.everything we can do to sustain that.
:23:07. > :23:08.Kenny Shiels has given youth a chance and those
:23:09. > :23:10.players have delivered - four of his brightest young
:23:11. > :23:12.talents are being given new or extended contracts.
:23:13. > :23:16.There's a new found confidence in the dressing room.
:23:17. > :23:26.Kenny has been brilliant since he came. A lot more professional,
:23:27. > :23:32.coming back from jobs in Scotland, on and off the pitch, we have been
:23:33. > :23:40.getting out and around the community, so it has been good for
:23:41. > :23:42.us, him coming home. Kenny Shiels says the club has two difficult
:23:43. > :23:47.assignments over the coming days and he says it is important to maintain
:23:48. > :23:49.momentum and keep up the challenge for that coveted European spot.
:23:50. > :23:52.There's a double-header of rugby at the Kingspan Stadium tonight.

:24:07. > :24:08.a warm-up match against an English side, following their 25-19 defeat
:24:09. > :24:24.They will be similar to Exeter, physical. A big pack. We are looking
:24:25. > :24:31.forward to the physical encounter. We are hoping that we can have the
:24:32. > :24:36.right things in place that make us know that what we have done last
:24:37. > :24:41.season is working for us. In order lose, it is about what we see in
:24:42. > :24:47.terms of attitude, physicality, certain methodologies. If some of
:24:48. > :24:49.those things come through, we have got a week to prepare for the big
:24:50. > :24:51.one at the Kingspan Stadium. Rower Joel Cassells will defend his
:24:52. > :24:53.world championship title in the men's lightweight pair final
:24:54. > :24:55.tomorrow in Rotterdam. Cassells and partner Sam Scrimegour,
:24:56. > :24:58.seen here winning last year, qualified fastest for the final
:24:59. > :25:00.and the Coleraine man, who missed out on a place
