:00:13. > :00:15.This is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines

:00:16. > :00:22.A worker at a firm employed by the Government

:00:23. > :00:24.to cut tax credit payments says staff are receiving calls

:00:25. > :00:25.from people who say they're suicidal.

:00:26. > :00:28.The trial begins of a man and woman accused of murdering this man

:00:29. > :00:33.More than a million pounds worth of drugs including

:00:34. > :00:38.heroin are seized in Belfast over the weekend

:00:39. > :00:40.For the first time the Opposition take to the floor

:00:41. > :00:51.Car drivers are paying the price for using Belfast bus lanes. With more

:00:52. > :00:53.than ?2 million paid in finders. And it's a proper autumnal week

:00:54. > :01:01.with no two days the same. A whistle-blower at a Belfast call

:01:02. > :01:11.centre has told the BBC that its staff are having to deal

:01:12. > :01:14.with people who say The centre is run by the firm

:01:15. > :01:21.Concentrix and is employed by the Government to reduce

:01:22. > :01:24.tax credit payments. As our business correspondent

:01:25. > :01:28.Julian O'Neill reports, the worker claims staff

:01:29. > :01:41.are unprepared for what they're Concentrix has been making national

:01:42. > :01:45.headlines over its tax credit contract with HM Revenue and

:01:46. > :01:50.Customs. The American company's Belfast operation is at the eye of a

:01:51. > :01:53.storm with complaints that a wrong cut payments to hundreds of

:01:54. > :01:59.claimants. Now one of its workers has come forward, speaking on the

:02:00. > :02:02.condition of anonymity to the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire show committee

:02:03. > :02:06.claim staff were not trained to deal with many distressed callers. We

:02:07. > :02:10.were dealing with people claiming they were going to commit suicide.

:02:11. > :02:15.You have to trying keep them on the phone while the manager funds the

:02:16. > :02:18.police to go to bed so make sure they are OK. Most people weren't

:02:19. > :02:25.even trained on how to deal with suicide calls. They were just say,

:02:26. > :02:31.oh, go out, have a smoke, you'll be fine. Deal with another 50 odd

:02:32. > :02:36.calls. As many as 60 odd stuff you work on tax credit calls. As revenue

:02:37. > :02:39.Customs use Concentrix callers to crack down on fraud and

:02:40. > :02:46.overpayments. But the whistle-blower says often staff or acting on

:02:47. > :02:50.incorrect information. What you think of Concentrix? It speaks

:02:51. > :02:56.itself. They've passed things between HMC and Concentrix, but it

:02:57. > :03:04.lies with them both. RAF Wittering except it's tough on councillors and

:03:05. > :03:07.not to ensure the police are contacted in certain situations.

:03:08. > :03:10.They say they are highly supportive of staff who are involved in

:03:11. > :03:14.challenging work on behalf of Revenue and Customs. As call centre

:03:15. > :03:17.contract is worth as much as 75 million. But it's already been

:03:18. > :03:23.announced it will be renewed with Concentrix next year. What it means

:03:24. > :03:26.for job numbers in Belfast is unclear, but Concentrix stores do

:03:27. > :03:28.other work here and it says it remains committed to its Northern

:03:29. > :03:31.Ireland operation. A court's been told that

:03:32. > :03:34.when the police were called to a murder scene in Craigavon

:03:35. > :03:37.they discovered blood stains, the smell of bleach and then

:03:38. > :03:40.a body in a wheelie bin. The badly beaten remains were those

:03:41. > :03:42.of Owen Creany from Lurgan. Accused of his murder in July 2014,

:03:43. > :03:45.are 29-year-old Stephen Thomas Hughes from Moyraverty Court

:03:46. > :03:47.in Craigavon and Shaunean Boyle who is 25 and from Edenderry

:03:48. > :04:09.Park, in Banbridge. This is where Owen Creany's body was

:04:10. > :04:14.found. Today, eight court heard his remains are callously dumped in a

:04:15. > :04:19.green recycling bin. The court was told the 40-year-old came here in

:04:20. > :04:23.July 2014 and never left. At the time, this was home to Stephen

:04:24. > :04:28.Hughes who is charged with the murder. His co-accused, Shaunean

:04:29. > :04:31.Boyle, was also living here along with two children. Opening its case,

:04:32. > :04:35.the prosecution said the police were tipped off about the dead man. When

:04:36. > :04:39.it went to the house, but the accused were present and the court

:04:40. > :04:44.heard police found windows on the property were opened, there was a

:04:45. > :04:48.mop and bucket at the back door and the smell of bleach. Inside, there

:04:49. > :04:53.was evidence that copies had been recently cleaned and blood stains

:04:54. > :04:55.under the stairs. The court was told that Owen Creany had most likely

:04:56. > :05:00.been seriously assaulted at the house in the early hours of the 3rd

:05:01. > :05:04.of July. A postmortem examination revealed he suffered serious head

:05:05. > :05:09.and chest injuries, but it may have taken a 48 hours for him to die. The

:05:10. > :05:13.prosecution claimed he lay injured on an upstairs so far for much of

:05:14. > :05:18.that time. Both the defendants denied the murder charge. In police

:05:19. > :05:23.interviews, they blamed each other for what was called the deliberate

:05:24. > :05:26.and frenzied attack. The prosecution said I given Stephen Hughes and that

:05:27. > :05:31.Shaunean Boyle both admit there were present during the attack, it seems

:05:32. > :05:36.incredible that someone who is innocent would leave the victim on

:05:37. > :05:39.the sofa for two days without seeking medical help. The jury was

:05:40. > :05:42.told the trial is likely to last three weeks. Both defendants were

:05:43. > :06:14.remanded back into custody. Four men arrested in Lurgan last

:06:15. > :06:16.week in an investigation into dissident Republican activity

:06:17. > :06:18.have been charged with targeting a former member

:06:19. > :06:20.of the security forces. The police say a device

:06:21. > :06:22.capable of piercing armour Three men, aged 22, 24 and 46,

:06:23. > :06:27.will appear in Court tomorrow. A 22-year-old man was already

:06:28. > :06:29.charged with the attempted murder of police officers

:06:38. > :06:41.on one of the most bitter A Portadown man's been in court

:06:42. > :06:47.charged over the seizure of one and a half million pounds worth

:06:48. > :06:50.of drugs in Belfast at the weekend. The court was told

:06:51. > :06:52.that the police believe the 28-year-old is a member

:06:53. > :07:02.of an It was here Neil Davidson was

:07:03. > :07:06.arrested on Friday. He was arrested coming off a ferry at Belfast ferry

:07:07. > :07:10.port. The car was stopped on this road by police and drugs worth

:07:11. > :07:16.almost $1 million pounds were seized. A court heard that are

:07:17. > :07:22.neither worth of cocaine was found, heroin worth an estimated half a

:07:23. > :07:25.million and ?2000 of cannabis. A 28-year-old of no fixed address

:07:26. > :07:29.appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court today on a number of drugs

:07:30. > :07:34.charges, including importing and possession of class a and class B

:07:35. > :07:38.drugs. They detect it said he could connect the defendant to the

:07:39. > :07:41.charges. He said he believed Mr Davidson was a member of an

:07:42. > :07:47.organised crime gang based in Dublin with connections to Northern

:07:48. > :07:50.Ireland. Opposing bail, the detective said Davidson's own safety

:07:51. > :07:55.could be at risk if released. A defence lawyer confirmed his client

:07:56. > :07:56.claims to have acted under duress. The defender was refused bail and

:07:57. > :08:10.will appear again in a month. The Ulster Unionists and the SDLP

:08:11. > :08:23.took the opportunity to tackle It may look the same as ever, but

:08:24. > :08:27.Stormont is changing, if slowly. Without much ceremony, this was

:08:28. > :08:33.another little bit of history. For the first time, all the business was

:08:34. > :08:38.decided by the official Position. So what are they choose? First item,

:08:39. > :08:41.the Nama property scandal. Local business and investors need to hear

:08:42. > :08:47.this is a clean place to do business and invest. Any corruption either

:08:48. > :08:51.financial or political will not be tolerated. In the previous Assembly,

:08:52. > :08:55.before the days of official opposition, storm's finance

:08:56. > :08:58.committee carried out its own investigation into the Nama

:08:59. > :09:01.allegations. The process was subsequently tainted by the

:09:02. > :09:05.revelation the chair man had been coaching one of the star witnesses.

:09:06. > :09:11.But suggestions that the process should be revived now look likely

:09:12. > :09:17.after this. Do we want to set up a finance committee inquiry for the

:09:18. > :09:25.sake of doing that which will produce great efforts, but will it

:09:26. > :09:30.result in those responsible for wrongdoing around projects be

:09:31. > :09:36.brought to account? The other executive parties in the National

:09:37. > :09:39.Crime Agency was also opposed to any investigation by the committee. Is

:09:40. > :09:44.disappointing unsurprising that despite this clear advice and

:09:45. > :09:47.request from the United Kingdom's key criminal investigative body, the

:09:48. > :09:51.National Crime Agency, that the Ulster Unionist party has continued

:09:52. > :09:55.to make public comment calling for the committee and the Assembly to

:09:56. > :10:02.examine these issues immediately. That was too much for the other

:10:03. > :10:05.opposition party. There are numerous precedents for public and criminal

:10:06. > :10:11.enquirer is to run in parallel and suggesting otherwise could be

:10:12. > :10:15.perceived as another foot dragging exercise. Today may have been a

:10:16. > :10:20.significant one for the opposition, but Italy proved once again that

:10:21. > :10:21.them the larger executive parties unite, they have the votes to get

:10:22. > :10:23.their way. Later in the programme,

:10:24. > :10:25.our political correspondent Stephen Walker talks to the Labour

:10:26. > :10:27.leader Jeremy Corbyn Coming up on the programme before

:10:28. > :10:37.7pm: A dramatic win and a big pay day for Rory McIlroy

:10:38. > :10:53.in the United States. The most bitter parade disputes

:10:54. > :10:56.of recent years could come to end following an agreement

:10:57. > :10:58.between Orange Lodges and a residents' group

:10:59. > :11:00.in the Ardoyne area of north The deal which was struck on Friday

:11:01. > :11:04.evening also means an end to the long-running protest

:11:05. > :11:07.at Twaddell Avenue that has cost the taxpayer millions

:11:08. > :11:08.of pounds in policing. The deal was brokered by two

:11:09. > :11:11.mediators: The Reverend Harold Good Maggie Taggart reports on the detail

:11:12. > :11:23.of the deal and local reaction. Parading, protesting, policing and

:11:24. > :11:27.sporadically, rioting. It has been the regular stuff of life over three

:11:28. > :11:31.years at what has become the most contentious of flash points. But all

:11:32. > :11:34.of the morning March, heading to the Orange celebrations has not been the

:11:35. > :11:39.problem. It is the return of parade which hasn't been allowed. For three

:11:40. > :11:44.years at this camp on Twaddell Avenue, loyalists are protested,

:11:45. > :11:47.wanting three local lodges to propagate back. Residents on this

:11:48. > :11:52.side welcomed the deal. Think everybody is welcome and now the

:11:53. > :11:56.agreement has been made it gives us a bit of breathing space to get more

:11:57. > :12:00.resolutions after the one we've achieved so far. People living on

:12:01. > :12:04.the front lines of both communities have endorsed this resolution, so it

:12:05. > :12:09.has to be a positive step. What has been agreed? Under the terms, three

:12:10. > :12:11.local lodges and two bans will take part in a written parade this

:12:12. > :12:19.weekend playing only hymns on the contentious bit. The residents

:12:20. > :12:23.association here will not protest. The Twaddell Avenue camp will be

:12:24. > :12:29.dismantled and protests will end. After us, the Orange lodges will

:12:30. > :12:33.undertake a voluntary moratorium on return parades. Morning parade will

:12:34. > :12:37.go ahead, but there will no doubt I could be no return parades unless

:12:38. > :12:41.the orange lodges and other groups reach an agreement. People on both

:12:42. > :12:46.sides had been affected and those who spoke publicly have similar

:12:47. > :12:51.views. Doesn't annoy me, because as long as they don't shout slogans

:12:52. > :12:59.that are going to offend anybody, well... When I was young, I used to

:13:00. > :13:04.go to them with my grandmother. It'll take time, but confidence will

:13:05. > :13:11.build again. People won't feel is afraid to move about and be more

:13:12. > :13:15.confident. But there is not complete support for the deal. One door in a

:13:16. > :13:22.resident's group opposes it and Saturday's parade. This goes against

:13:23. > :13:31.the fast majority of the wishes of the people. Over 85% do not want it.

:13:32. > :13:36.And this deal in their way has been put to local people in any sort of

:13:37. > :13:40.conference or consultation. Another resident's group helped negotiate as

:13:41. > :13:45.it was widely supported at a public meeting. Anybody who wanted to come

:13:46. > :13:48.could have attended. There was about 80 people were, a good

:13:49. > :13:56.cross-section. People from Sinn Fein and people from the SDLP. I think it

:13:57. > :14:00.was well balanced. Both Nationalists and the Orange Order said the

:14:01. > :14:04.success of this deal could set an important example. There's no

:14:05. > :14:09.negativity in our mind. Our mind is positive that this is the way

:14:10. > :14:13.forward. An agreement's been reached for the parade to go up the road and

:14:14. > :14:16.it sets a strong templates for anybody else who wants to seek a

:14:17. > :14:22.resolution to their particular problems. Certainly the residents

:14:23. > :14:24.I've spoken to overwhelmingly want this situation brought to a

:14:25. > :14:29.permanent ten, but they're nervous about how it's going to proceed and

:14:30. > :14:32.what it will be like on Saturday and importantly, what happens next year

:14:33. > :14:36.and the year after that and into the future. There are people on both

:14:37. > :14:42.sides who do not agree, but am it is a compromise. It is likely to work.

:14:43. > :14:46.It's important, because the two negotiators, the mediators were

:14:47. > :14:49.trusted by both sides. After three and a half years under policing bill

:14:50. > :14:53.of ?20 million, the first test of this deal will be on Saturday

:14:54. > :14:56.morning at 8:30am. After that, residents will be hoping that what

:14:57. > :15:01.has been described as one of the most difficult and entrenched issues

:15:02. > :15:03.in Northern Ireland will be consigned to the history books.

:15:04. > :15:05.With the launch of a new dissident Republican political party,

:15:06. > :15:11.there's no suggestion of a plan to abandon violence.

:15:12. > :15:13.Saoradh, which is Irish for Liberation, held its first

:15:14. > :15:29.Our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.

:15:30. > :15:37.Talks about the move have been taking place behind the scenes for a

:15:38. > :15:41.number of years. The party was launched on Saturday when around 150

:15:42. > :15:45.people attended its first Ard Fheis. Sinn Fein was not mentioned by name,

:15:46. > :15:51.but it was a target of much criticism. Those who sit in pay of

:15:52. > :15:54.the national press by claiming to champion our liberation are false

:15:55. > :16:03.prophets who've been defeated by the system they claim uphold. Saoradh

:16:04. > :16:06.does not affiliate itself with any dissident organisation, but it

:16:07. > :16:11.appears to be closely aligned to the group referred to as the New IRA. A

:16:12. > :16:15.number of high-profile Republicans associated with that group attended

:16:16. > :16:22.the event. They included Alex McCrory from West Belfast and Colin

:16:23. > :16:25.Duffy from Lurgan. Both are facing a variety of charges, including

:16:26. > :16:30.attempted -- attempting to murder police officers. This man from

:16:31. > :16:37.Belfast on the right who is due to stand trial later this year charged

:16:38. > :16:40.with encouraging support for the IRA and another member who read a

:16:41. > :16:48.statement on behalf of the members of the organisation in prison.

:16:49. > :16:52.Republican prisoners wish to express their full support for Saoradh.

:16:53. > :17:08.Dissidents may have formed a new party, but the charm and was quick

:17:09. > :17:13.to dampen any... The other dissident Republican organisations, the

:17:14. > :17:18.continuity RIA -- IRA are not represented by Saoradh.

:17:19. > :17:20.The Royal Victoria Hospital is restricting new admissions

:17:21. > :17:22.to wards following an outbreak of the Norovirus,

:17:23. > :17:28.The Belfast Trust says there's been an increase in patients

:17:29. > :17:32.at the hospital with the illness which it says usually

:17:33. > :17:35.It has advised people who are experiencing flu-like

:17:36. > :17:43.Motorists have paid more than ?2 million in fines

:17:44. > :17:46.for driving in bus lanes in Belfast over the past 15 months.

:17:47. > :17:50.One particular camera in the city centre has generated almost

:17:51. > :17:52.a million pounds in fines on its own.

:17:53. > :18:01.BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has more.

:18:02. > :18:09.Stick to your lane or you may have to dig deep into your pockets. More

:18:10. > :18:14.than 50,000 finders have been issued in Belfast since last June and most

:18:15. > :18:20.of those are the result of just three cameras. The bus lane which

:18:21. > :18:25.catches out most car drivers runs alongside Belfast City Hall. There

:18:26. > :18:29.it is. Donegal Square East. Almost ?1 million has been issued in

:18:30. > :18:34.finders of their common and and and 75,000, to be exact. Velez Castle

:18:35. > :18:40.Street, not far away, also in the city centre. More than ?700,000 in

:18:41. > :18:45.fines have been racked up there. Great Victoria Street, also piling

:18:46. > :18:50.up the money. More than ?440,000. And if you add it all up across

:18:51. > :18:58.north, south, east and west Belfast community final total of ?2,729,000.

:18:59. > :19:03.And that's only up until the end of last month. Since then, more drivers

:19:04. > :19:07.have been caught being where they should not be. The figures were

:19:08. > :19:12.obtained by the Belfast Telegraph and the number of people being fined

:19:13. > :19:16.has caused concern within the retail trade. I am worried about these

:19:17. > :19:19.headlines that it is potentially putting off shoppers who bring their

:19:20. > :19:24.car into Belfast city centre. That's the last thing we need to see. I am

:19:25. > :19:27.proposing that the Minister for infrastructure look at introducing

:19:28. > :19:31.gig yellow card system and that would mean that it's someone who

:19:32. > :19:34.inadvertently drives into a bus lane, that they don't automatically

:19:35. > :19:40.find, they get a warning letter and if they do it again, then they get

:19:41. > :19:43.fined. Be the minister is not convinced. I'm not sure we do have a

:19:44. > :19:46.system that if you pay a penalty charge in the first fortnight it

:19:47. > :19:52.halved. I think I whole penalty charge system is fair and

:19:53. > :19:56.appropriate. The full penalty is ?90, but the message from the

:19:57. > :19:57.authorities is follow the signs and you will never have to pay the

:19:58. > :19:59.fines. The Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has

:20:00. > :20:02.said his party will consider over the next few months whether to run

:20:03. > :20:07.candidates in Northern Ireland. Although the party has members

:20:08. > :20:10.and registered supporters here it He also spoke to our Political

:20:11. > :20:15.Correspondent Stephen Walker about the implications

:20:16. > :20:24.of Brexit on the border. Labour hasn't all candidates in

:20:25. > :20:28.Northern Ireland for a very long time and our decision taken long

:20:29. > :20:33.before I became leader. Obviously, it will be discussed. Do you like

:20:34. > :20:37.said that when people say that a democratic deficit, do you buy that?

:20:38. > :20:41.There is a democratic deficit in one sense. There is a question of a

:20:42. > :20:43.relationship with other parties in Northern Ireland as well and how

:20:44. > :20:51.that will be affected by any decision we take and so let us have

:20:52. > :20:55.our discussion first. About Brexit, do them because of Northern

:20:56. > :20:59.Ireland's status and the Republic Ireland border that Northern Ireland

:21:00. > :21:02.should have special status? Is a crucial issue, because I don't think

:21:03. > :21:06.anybody wants a harder border between the north and south with all

:21:07. > :21:12.the complications that brings. So there has to be a status agreed. I

:21:13. > :21:17.am hoping, as part of the overall agreement on Brexit that we do keep

:21:18. > :21:20.ourselves involved in the European market, we keep ourselves involved

:21:21. > :21:27.in the European investment bank and that we ensure there is ease of

:21:32. > :21:36.the Republic of Ireland is set for essentially from the 1949 agreement

:21:37. > :21:40.of a Common travel area for the whole of the islands. And where

:21:41. > :21:44.money has been lost from the EU, will you full back-up? Yes, it was

:21:45. > :21:47.made clear in the speech this morning that we are determined to

:21:48. > :21:52.ensure EU investment money lost will be replaced and we are also doing

:21:53. > :21:56.our best to ensure that EU agreed programmes continue for the rest of

:21:57. > :22:00.the time that we are members of the EU. We are setting our red lines on

:22:01. > :22:04.negotiations which are about access to markets which are about and are

:22:05. > :22:09.protection, consumer protection and crucially, worker's rights and

:22:10. > :22:12.membership of the European investment bank which will be

:22:13. > :22:15.extremely important. After all, there's a great deal of EU

:22:16. > :22:17.investment coming to Ireland as a whole on both sides of the border.

:22:18. > :22:19.In sport, Rory McIlroy won a dramatic Play-Off to clinch

:22:20. > :22:21.the PGA Tour Championship in the US yesterday.

:22:22. > :22:23.He also finished top of the overall season standings

:22:24. > :22:27.As well as a pay-out of $11.5 five million and he looks

:22:28. > :22:30.in perfect form for this week's Ryder Cup in Minnesota.

:22:31. > :22:45.As if the Ryder Cup atmosphere was not built up enough, Rory has been

:22:46. > :22:50.further energised by that incredible win and Atalanta, taking on two

:22:51. > :22:53.Americans in a Play-Off and winning. And as the European and American

:22:54. > :22:57.teams arrived here to do battle, that has been an emotional moment

:22:58. > :23:02.for the world of golf as the legendary 87-year-old Arnold Palmer

:23:03. > :23:06.passed away. The man who did so much to popularise the game, making it

:23:07. > :23:09.the multi-million pound sport it is today. As seen last night as Rory

:23:10. > :23:26.McIlroy one golf's richest prize. It lifted him to within one shot of

:23:27. > :23:31.the lead. Then this shot from the bunker on the 18th then came a tie

:23:32. > :23:40.for first place. And it put him into a three-man Play-Off with the

:23:41. > :23:45.Americans. On the very first sudden-death, he had a putt to win.

:23:46. > :23:53.With Chapple eliminated, Michael Roy and his opponent played on. And on

:23:54. > :23:55.the 16th, his opponent's excellent putt when the pressure was on Rory

:23:56. > :23:59.McIlroy to respond in order to clinch the tournament at the

:24:00. > :24:12.Championship. And the $11.5 million that came with the twin triumph.

:24:13. > :24:15.Ultimately I won the FedEx cup. It's up there with some of my best

:24:16. > :24:18.performances on the golf course, regardless of the tournament. Over

:24:19. > :24:23.the last couple of years I seem to average is my best golf when I need

:24:24. > :24:29.it and, yeah, I've obviously never gone into the Ryder Cup with this

:24:30. > :24:34.much excitement, coming off the back of something like this. The victory

:24:35. > :24:38.came shortly before the news of the passing of Arnold Palmer. A man who

:24:39. > :24:43.did so much to make golf the sport it is today. He was the player that

:24:44. > :24:47.brought the game to the masses. It wasn't for him, we would be playing

:24:48. > :24:52.for these obscene amounts of money we play for every week. I would be

:24:53. > :24:56.standing here. I wouldn't be standing here having achieved or

:24:57. > :25:01.amassed the success and cash or whatever he wants to call it, you

:25:02. > :25:05.know, he's provided a lot of great memories for a lot of people and he

:25:06. > :25:09.will be sadly missed. So Rory McIlroy could not have timed it

:25:10. > :25:14.better before the Ryder Cup. He will come here later today to meet with

:25:15. > :25:18.his team mates and captain, Darren Clarke, who will no doubt be

:25:19. > :25:22.thrilled with his star player's pretournament boost for Europe.

:25:23. > :25:32.Barra Best has the forecast for the next few days.

:25:33. > :25:40.Who needs to go to Iceland when you can see the Northern lights here?

:25:41. > :25:45.Maybe another chance to see them on Wednesday, will keep you up-to-date.

:25:46. > :25:50.Tonight, not much chance. A lot of cloud. It will bring with it patchy,

:25:51. > :25:57.light rain and drizzle. Low cloud and mist by tomorrow morning. Not

:25:58. > :26:02.cold tonight, 11-12d. Tomorrow starts cloudy, patchy rain, but

:26:03. > :26:08.through the day, mainly dry. If you are out and about, there will be

:26:09. > :26:15.patchy rain, but behind it, it will brighten up. The cloud breaks and

:26:16. > :26:21.there's a strong westerly wind. Inland, pretty perfect conditions

:26:22. > :26:25.for drying washing. Sunshine winds, temperatures probably 15-16d. If

:26:26. > :26:30.you're travelling tomorrow, is not a bad start across much of Ireland.

:26:31. > :26:34.Plenty of dry weather and sunshine. The cloud sticks around for England

:26:35. > :26:39.and drizzle lingers for a while. Plenty of sunshine for Wales and

:26:40. > :26:43.Scotland, but temperatures between the mid and high teens. By the

:26:44. > :26:48.evening, very little will change. The sun will continue to come and go

:26:49. > :26:52.although the westerly winds will stay breezy at times and into

:26:53. > :26:59.tomorrow night, apart from a few scattered showers, it will be

:27:00. > :27:05.largely dry and mild. 12-13d. The milder conditions set us up for a

:27:06. > :27:09.warmer day on Wednesday. 19, even 20 degrees, with a south-westerly wind

:27:10. > :27:13.and rain coming in and later could bring blustery conditions with heavy

:27:14. > :27:17.downpours. Behind that though it is cooler. As we make our way to

:27:18. > :27:23.Thursday and Friday, temperatures fall while back and for Friday, the

:27:24. > :27:28.highs could be just 12-13d. With no two days the same this week we have

:27:29. > :27:30.a fairly autumnal set up. Stay tuned to the forecast.
