That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me.

:00:00.:00:11.

The headlines this Thursday evening...

:00:12.:00:20.

Should the Orange Order lift its ban on members attending Catholic church

:00:21.:00:28.

services? A new debate has begun. I would say the Order will change the

:00:29.:00:34.

rule, if not in this decade, certainly in the next decade.

:00:35.:00:36.

Plans to make firms disclose how many foreign workers they employ

:00:37.:00:38.

The National Crime Agency says six people are now under investigation

:00:39.:00:43.

Dublin Airport gets a record number of passengers from Northern Ireland.

:00:44.:00:49.

The cost of going to university, the challenges faced by students and

:00:50.:01:02.

their families. I am at Ulster University in Belfast.

:01:03.:01:03.

Georgia on his mind - with the Republic of Ireland's

:01:04.:01:05.

latest World Cup qualifier just over an hour away, can Martin O'Neill

:01:06.:01:08.

And a few raindrops in the forecast, but still more dry than wet weather.

:01:09.:01:18.

A second senior Orangeman has said the Order should consider lifting

:01:19.:01:24.

a ban on members attending services in a Catholic church.

:01:25.:01:28.

Yesterday the Reverend Mervyn Gibson, who is a Grand Chaplain,

:01:29.:01:31.

said his personal view was that the rule should change.

:01:32.:01:34.

Today David McNarry, a past Assistant Grand Master, agreed.

:01:35.:01:37.

The Orange Order's rules go back centuries, but some believe it's now

:01:38.:01:45.

time for a re-think on the ban on members going to

:01:46.:01:49.

The Reverend Mervyn Gibson said it yesterday.

:01:50.:02:00.

It can be changed and it may be changed but that harks back to a

:02:01.:02:07.

different era in many ways. The opportunity is there for the

:02:08.:02:11.

institution itself to change that rule. Would you like to see that

:02:12.:02:15.

change personally? Personally I have to say I would. But does anyone else

:02:16.:02:22.

agree? Mervin has generated a discussion that I think the

:02:23.:02:24.

institution needs to have. I agree with what he said they individually.

:02:25.:02:30.

At the moment I don't detect there is a clamour, because there is no

:02:31.:02:36.

one really being admonished if they go to pay their respects. This is

:02:37.:02:41.

entirely a matter for the grand Lodge and for the Orange

:02:42.:02:47.

institution. I have no doubt there will be strong opinions on both

:02:48.:02:51.

sides, but I think there are occasions when it is the right thing

:02:52.:02:56.

to do. It is what David Trimble after the Omagh bomb, even though he

:02:57.:03:01.

was an Orangemen, he then First Minister went to a Catholic Church

:03:02.:03:04.

for the funeral of three young victims. Mr Trimble, you are

:03:05.:03:09.

particularly welcome with entourage. That was almost 20 years ago. It a

:03:10.:03:14.

talking point then and now it is again. The next meeting of the

:03:15.:03:19.

Orange Order's ruling grand Lodge takes place in December. We'll the

:03:20.:03:24.

matter be raised at that meeting? At this stage it seems unlikely. But

:03:25.:03:28.

whether it is raised or not, there is no doubt a new debate has begun.

:03:29.:03:34.

And a former Presbyterian Church moderator believes change will

:03:35.:03:38.

happen. Eventually. If I was a betting man and I have never placed

:03:39.:03:41.

a bet in my life I would say the Order will change the rule. If not

:03:42.:03:47.

in this decade, certainly in the next decade. All sides of the

:03:48.:03:52.

argument agree on one thing. Nothing will happen quickly.

:03:53.:03:55.

The Home Office says a consultation regarding plans to monitor how many

:03:56.:03:58.

foreign workers are employed by individual firms will cover

:03:59.:04:01.

Northern Ireland as immigration is not a devolved matter.

:04:02.:04:04.

Our Political Editor Mark Devenport has more on this.

:04:05.:04:06.

It has been a controversial issue. Give us some of the details. It

:04:07.:04:19.

stirred controversy when Amber Rudd the Home Secretary said that some

:04:20.:04:23.

firms want Kennington of local workers and she said she could nudge

:04:24.:04:25.

them into better behaviour as she put it by getting them to register

:04:26.:04:31.

what percentage of their workforce was international. That has been

:04:32.:04:34.

criticised by some local politicians here. The SDLP call it xenophobic

:04:35.:04:39.

rhetoric and they are concerned about the position of Irish workers

:04:40.:04:43.

in England. Sinn Fein concerned about the position of cross-border

:04:44.:04:47.

workers. Because this idea seems to spam with employment matters which

:04:48.:04:50.

are devolved to Stormont and immigration matters which are still

:04:51.:04:53.

reserved to the Home Office I did ask the Home Office today wouldn't

:04:54.:04:57.

apply and they came back with the answer that a consultation, which we

:04:58.:05:01.

are expecting that this year, will apply to Northern Ireland. Quite how

:05:02.:05:03.

they will define international workers and deal with all the

:05:04.:05:09.

problems of cross-border working, I think we will have to wait until

:05:10.:05:11.

they put the document. We will leave it there. Thank you.

:05:12.:05:13.

The agency investigating the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland property

:05:14.:05:15.

portfolio has broken its silence on the inquiry.

:05:16.:05:17.

In an exclusive interview for the BBC, the Director General

:05:18.:05:20.

of the National Crime Agency has revealed that six people regarded

:05:21.:05:22.

Lynne Owens said the NCA is treating the case

:05:23.:05:28.

She spoke to our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney.

:05:29.:05:35.

This is the headquarters of the organisation referred

:05:36.:05:37.

It's from here that the National Crime Agency's investigation

:05:38.:05:45.

into Nama's Northern Ireland property sale is being directed.

:05:46.:05:47.

It was here I met the agency's Director General for the first

:05:48.:05:50.

interview she's given about the inquiry.

:05:51.:05:58.

Since the beginning of the enquiry we have interviewed under caution

:05:59.:06:05.

seven people. Six of the people remain under criminal investigation.

:06:06.:06:08.

We have interviewed over 40 witnesses. We have searched eight

:06:09.:06:14.

properties. We have achieved a number of court orders, both for

:06:15.:06:17.

private properties and public locations. And our enquiries

:06:18.:06:24.

continue. Do you question seven people under caution, with an

:06:25.:06:29.

arrested? Two were arrested. The others will not arrested.

:06:30.:06:32.

Interviewed under caution with the agreement. Do you envisage further

:06:33.:06:36.

arrests at this stage? We definitely can't rule it out at this stage.

:06:37.:06:38.

The NCA says the possible crimes being investigated include bribery,

:06:39.:06:41.

The agency says it's impossible to say how long

:06:42.:06:45.

When asked if she was confident there would be criminal charges,

:06:46.:06:51.

That isn't a decision for me to make. Our job is to understate it

:06:52.:07:03.

search for the truth, to compel the evidence and to put those files of

:07:04.:07:07.

evidence to a prosecutor 's office. They will make a judgment whether

:07:08.:07:11.

there is a case to answer and any charging decisions. Our job is to

:07:12.:07:14.

make sure our investigation is as thorough as it can possibly be.

:07:15.:07:16.

The NCA has confirmed to the BBC that two men arrested as part

:07:17.:07:19.

of the investigation in May were released

:07:20.:07:21.

The fact that they were released from police bail so quickly suggests

:07:22.:07:30.

they don't have a case to answer will stop as you know there is a big

:07:31.:07:38.

debate about bail legislation. At the moment we should not hold people

:07:39.:07:43.

on bail longer than is necessary, but neither should people draw any

:07:44.:07:45.

conclusion about that release from bail.

:07:46.:07:46.

The agency's Director General was in Belfast today, briefing

:07:47.:07:48.

members of the Policing Board about the investigation.

:07:49.:07:50.

She said the NCA is working with law enforcement agencies

:07:51.:07:54.

in other parts of the UK, the Republic of Ireland,

:07:55.:07:56.

A cyclist has died in a road crash in County Down.

:07:57.:08:06.

The 50-year-old man was on the Newtownards to Bangor

:08:07.:08:08.

carriageway when he was involved in a collision with a car.

:08:09.:08:11.

It happened just before 6am this morning.

:08:12.:08:14.

The driver of the car wasn't injured.

:08:15.:08:19.

Last night we heard from the 23-year-old man who blinded

:08:20.:08:21.

It's being investigated by the Justice Committee

:08:22.:08:25.

following a highly critical report which found prison officers stood

:08:26.:08:28.

and watched for over an hour without intervening.

:08:29.:08:32.

At a committee hearing today, the Prison Ombudsman told MLAs

:08:33.:08:35.

the shocking incident was down to failures inside

:08:36.:08:37.

The head of the Prison Service also attended the committee

:08:38.:08:42.

Sean Lynch was detained in a part of Maghaberry which,

:08:43.:08:53.

the Ombudsman found, was "unsuitable for managing someone

:08:54.:08:56.

The report also declared that Mr Lynch's "increasingly bizarre

:08:57.:09:01.

and violent" conduct was met by short-term responses

:09:02.:09:03.

On the night Sean Lynch blinded himself, two young prison

:09:04.:09:08.

I feel particularly I have to say, for the two Young Amesbury and staff

:09:09.:09:21.

who had to be worthless. Quite simply on that night when he first

:09:22.:09:24.

raised the alarm, they were not sure what to do. They summoned help which

:09:25.:09:30.

came sometime later. They were at the sharp end of a series of

:09:31.:09:33.

failings of the previous eight weeks or so and it wasn't down to those

:09:34.:09:39.

two prison staff alone. Sean Lynch was remanded

:09:40.:09:40.

to Maghaberry after breaching bail conditions on charges of assault

:09:41.:09:42.

and criminal damage. During his detention,

:09:43.:09:44.

according to the Ombudsman, he was taken to outside

:09:45.:09:46.

hospitals - twice. It is also important to realise that

:09:47.:09:59.

Mr Lynch had quite properly been taken to upset hospital on two

:10:00.:10:03.

previous occasions. But on both of those instances, two different

:10:04.:10:06.

hospitals in dignity, because he was a prisoner, those hospitals. That

:10:07.:10:10.

failed in fulfilling the duty of care. Also before the committee

:10:11.:10:14.

today, Sue McAllister director-general of the Prison

:10:15.:10:17.

Service. She says she hopes to meet Sean Lynch's family this month and

:10:18.:10:20.

also had something else to say. I am sorry for the life changing injuries

:10:21.:10:26.

that Mr Lynch sustained while in our care. Today's hearings here at

:10:27.:10:29.

Stormont are part of an ongoing debate about people with mental

:10:30.:10:33.

health issues who are going through the justice system. And in

:10:34.:10:36.

particular how they are treated and where.

:10:37.:10:39.

Figures from Dublin Airport suggest its use by Northern Ireland

:10:40.:10:43.

It says more than a million passenger journeys were made in 2015

:10:44.:10:48.

by people who had travelled from across the border.

:10:49.:10:50.

Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill has been

:10:51.:10:52.

Dublin is one of the fastest growing airports in Europe,

:10:53.:10:57.

so breaking the million barrier with regards to Northern Ireland

:10:58.:10:59.

Today's figures are for 2015 and the airport says

:11:00.:11:06.

there were 1.2 million passenger journeys by people who live

:11:07.:11:12.

That's up by 37% on 2014, and the most popular destinations

:11:13.:11:17.

for Northern Ireland customers being firstly Heathrow,

:11:18.:11:20.

followed by JFK in New York and then Dubai.

:11:21.:11:25.

Our three airports will look on enviously, although both

:11:26.:11:28.

the International and Belfast City are seeing growth.

:11:29.:11:32.

But Dublin is making enormous strides.

:11:33.:11:35.

An improved motorway and Ireland's abolition of Air Passenger Duty have

:11:36.:11:40.

contributed to its popularity, but nothing more so than route

:11:41.:11:42.

Dublin does about three times as many destinations

:11:43.:11:51.

On long-haul, where Northern Ireland has also scrapped APD,

:11:52.:11:55.

Dublin operates around 30 routes to Northern Ireland's one.

:11:56.:11:59.

Taken as a whole, the figures will serve to focus minds again

:12:00.:12:02.

at our airports and in the Executive, with a feeling

:12:03.:12:04.

some form of strategic thinking is needed going forward.

:12:05.:12:12.

The trial of a couple accused of murdering a man and dumping him

:12:13.:12:16.

in a wheelie bin has heard the body was found by the police at the back

:12:17.:12:19.

Owen Creaney's badly beaten remains were dumped in the bin in July 2014.

:12:20.:12:25.

29-year-old Stephen Hughes and 25-year-old Shaunean Boyle

:12:26.:12:27.

Our reporter Ita Dungan was in court.

:12:28.:12:34.

This is Owen Creaney, seen here on the right.

:12:35.:12:37.

On the left - Stephen Hughes, a man who described the victim

:12:38.:12:42.

as his friend, a man accused of his murder.

:12:43.:12:47.

Along with this woman - Shaunean Boyle.

:12:48.:12:50.

Owen Creaney's body was found here in a wheelie bin.

:12:51.:12:53.

A post mortem examination found that his ribs and breast

:12:54.:12:55.

Today the jury heard from transcripts of a police

:12:56.:13:05.

During the interview, details of how a PSNI officer

:13:06.:13:09.

discovers the body of Owen Creaney are read to the defendant.

:13:10.:13:13.

"I began taking the rubbish out and about half way down I saw

:13:14.:13:20.

"a human foot and continued to remove rubbish and saw a human hand

:13:21.:13:23.

"with a silver wedding band on one of the fingers.

:13:24.:13:28.

"Removed more rubbish and a human torso came into view.

:13:29.:13:35.

The investigating officer then asks Stephen Hughes,

:13:36.:13:36.

"Did you squash Owen's body down into the bin?"

:13:37.:13:39.

Stephen Hughes answers, "The two of us did" -

:13:40.:13:42.

a reference to his co-accused Shaunean Boyle.

:13:43.:13:46.

The officer goes on to ask how, saying "In what way?"

:13:47.:13:50.

Stephen Hughes replies, "Just pushed him into it with my hands."

:13:51.:13:55.

The officer points out that rigor mortis had set in, asking,

:13:56.:13:58.

"So did this take a good amount of effort?"

:13:59.:14:02.

Stephen Hughes is asked why he is protecting his

:14:03.:14:08.

He says she was going on about wanting to see her child again.

:14:09.:14:14.

He was asked why he cared about Shaunean Boyle.

:14:15.:14:16.

He said he knew what it was like to lose your children.

:14:17.:14:30.

The family of a woman seriously injured in a care home accident say

:14:31.:14:33.

lessons were not learned quickly enough from the fall that

:14:34.:14:36.

Eileen Scullion broke her hip at Marina Care Home

:14:37.:14:39.

The home's new owners have fully complied with all

:14:40.:14:43.

The family have told the BBC that the past two years has been

:14:44.:14:48.

Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports.

:14:49.:14:55.

This is the report into on's death... -- mum.

:14:56.:15:00.

Almost two years after their mother's death,

:15:01.:15:02.

her family are still trying to find answers.

:15:03.:15:05.

It has been one of the most traumatic things I have ever had in

:15:06.:15:15.

my life. You know? Mum loved her children and her grandchildren.

:15:16.:15:16.

Eileen Scullion was a mother-of-13 with more than 30 grandchildren.

:15:17.:15:19.

At 89, she was living here at Marina Care Home in Ballyronan.

:15:20.:15:22.

Waiting for a care assistant to take her to the toilet,

:15:23.:15:27.

left alone Mrs Scullion fell off the bed, broke her hip

:15:28.:15:30.

While she'd pneumonia, the broken hip was listed

:15:31.:15:35.

The family had raised concerns about her safety.

:15:36.:15:45.

I think railings around the bed for a start would have helped. More

:15:46.:15:55.

staff, hands on. Maybe people that were more serious about their job.

:15:56.:15:57.

The family have many complaints, including that their mother should

:15:58.:16:00.

never have been left on the edge of a bed unattended.

:16:01.:16:02.

Because the fall was not properly recorded, they don't know how long

:16:03.:16:05.

she lay on the floor in acute pain before

:16:06.:16:07.

Finally, the fall at the privately-run nursing home

:16:08.:16:14.

was not properly investigated until the family contacted

:16:15.:16:17.

The Trust concluded the fall was as a result of the "failure

:16:18.:16:24.

"of the care assistant to remain with Mrs Scullion,

:16:25.:16:28.

It found the care home had a "blanket block" on the provision

:16:29.:16:33.

of bedrails for any resident presenting with confusion.

:16:34.:16:37.

It also said Marina Care home "did not investigate the incident"

:16:38.:16:40.

and so failed to learn anything from it.

:16:41.:16:43.

The family say they were further knocked back when they discovered

:16:44.:16:46.

that the new safety recommendations hadn't been fully complied

:16:47.:16:48.

The new owners say they've now fully implemented all safety requirements.

:16:49.:16:57.

But according to the family, they feel let down by the Trust

:16:58.:17:02.

and they're speaking out so others may benefit

:17:03.:17:04.

Over the past few weeks, tens of thousands of students

:17:05.:17:11.

have started their first year in university.

:17:12.:17:13.

With that new academic journey comes a lot of debt.

:17:14.:17:16.

For BBC Newsline, Donna Traynor was at the Ulster University's

:17:17.:17:18.

If you go to this university ought to Queen's University, you can

:17:19.:17:30.

borrow the cost of your tuition fees. Close to ?4000 a year. On top

:17:31.:17:37.

of that is a maintenance long for everyday expenses. So that means at

:17:38.:17:41.

the end of a three-year course, you could have a debt of ?27,000. That

:17:42.:17:48.

is just if you want to study in Northern Ireland. It would be more

:17:49.:17:51.

expensive if you went elsewhere. And that is just for one student. Sarah

:17:52.:17:58.

visited a family in Garber. Three of the spring chose to go to

:17:59.:18:02.

university. You realise yourself that you will have to start

:18:03.:18:05.

budgeting... No matter what you are studying, student life is a game of

:18:06.:18:10.

numbers. Caitlin topping is back home after graduating from

:18:11.:18:15.

Northumbria University. After degrees, at a cost. Three years of

:18:16.:18:20.

taking out the maximum student. I try not to think about it too hard,

:18:21.:18:26.

because I know it is a lot. It is probably just under ?40,000. After

:18:27.:18:32.

three years. Which is a big number. Caitlin is one of more than 40,000

:18:33.:18:36.

in Northern Ireland who took out a student loan last year to cover

:18:37.:18:41.

university. For the topping family and there two other children these

:18:42.:18:44.

loans were vital. We were kind of hoping that maybe one would stay at

:18:45.:18:49.

home, maybe go to Queen's University or Coleraine. I was hoping maybe

:18:50.:18:55.

will one would didn't go to university and I thought maybe one

:18:56.:19:01.

would go across the water. Whenever they went to Glasgow, we

:19:02.:19:07.

contemplated paying her fees. Make up and said, can you pay the fees

:19:08.:19:12.

for three of them and we realised we couldn't so we would have to take

:19:13.:19:15.

out a student loan or she would have to take that out. Three kids in

:19:16.:19:22.

third level education, as we know they now come out with an amount of

:19:23.:19:25.

debt, do you still think it is worth it? It is leaving with a very big

:19:26.:19:31.

commitment to pay off, but that's Caitlin says, they are paying in

:19:32.:19:35.

little pieces and are capable of doing it, I think it is a good deal.

:19:36.:19:41.

I also think the figure scares people as well because they don't

:19:42.:19:45.

understand that when it comes to it, you're not paying it back until you

:19:46.:19:48.

are capable are able to pay it back. You are paying it back in small

:19:49.:19:53.

amounts. I don't think it should scare people off, because I think

:19:54.:19:56.

university is great and I would do it ten times over.

:19:57.:20:02.

REPORTER: While almost 10,000 people in Northern Ireland have not been

:20:03.:20:08.

scared off, that is the number of students starting university this

:20:09.:20:14.

year. With me is Professor Deirdre Heenan and Paul Callaghan from

:20:15.:20:18.

Citizens Advice bureau. Paul, you have discussed student debt and the

:20:19.:20:21.

cost of going to university at your annual Conference, how difficult is

:20:22.:20:25.

it for dummies at the moment? It is really difficult and also a cause of

:20:26.:20:31.

real concern. We have seen many people coming through asking for

:20:32.:20:36.

advice on student debt. The biggest issue is people don't really

:20:37.:20:39.

understand what the implications of student loans are, what impact it

:20:40.:20:44.

will have live future earnings and take-home pay and the potential

:20:45.:20:47.

disorder of life after university, buying a car or what impact it will

:20:48.:20:51.

have on buying a new house. This is not only for parents but also

:20:52.:20:56.

students. Deidre, is it going to get to the stage where university once

:20:57.:20:59.

again is only for the privileged and well off and therefore what damage

:21:00.:21:03.

with that dude that the Government of your students? It would be hugely

:21:04.:21:06.

damaging that we would not get to that stage. -- I hope we don't get

:21:07.:21:11.

to that stage. It is important that people are able to access higher

:21:12.:21:14.

education but that is a number-1 concern parents when their children

:21:15.:21:19.

are about to leave. They are worried about that. It is important that

:21:20.:21:24.

students are well informed and use what is called as good loans, the

:21:25.:21:29.

student loan company and not credit card or bank loans. There are some

:21:30.:21:33.

families who perhaps with their young people, it is the first time

:21:34.:21:38.

they have experienced university in their family. How off-putting is it

:21:39.:21:41.

for them as Mac it is a real problem. We really want to get

:21:42.:21:45.

across that really it is better to look at student loans as almost like

:21:46.:21:49.

a graduate tax. You might not actually ever paying off the debt

:21:50.:21:54.

that you take on depending on how much you earn. If you only earn

:21:55.:21:57.

?20,000 for the rest of your life you will but we never pay back

:21:58.:22:01.

anything. It is not just a matter of does the taxpayer pay 40 students or

:22:02.:22:07.

the families paid, it is other options that we need to explore.

:22:08.:22:11.

Businesses and employees in terms of paying for third level education

:22:12.:22:16.

will stop it is not black and white. It is a devolved issue. We have to

:22:17.:22:21.

have an informed conversation. It is something that is a reality for

:22:22.:22:24.

families. Something that families are worrying about and we ought to

:22:25.:22:28.

discuss it and ensure we make the best decision for Northern Ireland

:22:29.:22:32.

and for the people here. Professor Deirdre Heenan, thank you, and Paul

:22:33.:22:36.

Callaghan. If you would like to share your experience of the cost of

:22:37.:22:39.

going to university, check out our Facebook page. The addresses on the

:22:40.:22:40.

screen. Are you or members

:22:41.:22:44.

of your family permanently Well, on BBC Newsline next week,

:22:45.:22:46.

we'll have a special series looking at smartphones

:22:47.:22:50.

and digital technology. Four out the five adults now use a

:22:51.:22:59.

smartphone. And the latest research suggests more and more of us are

:23:00.:23:03.

becoming addicted to them. So what impact is this having on our lives?

:23:04.:23:08.

How is it affecting families? What is it doing to our social lives?

:23:09.:23:13.

Good question, and how is it changing the way we work and where

:23:14.:23:17.

we work? And what impact is at having on our health on BBC Newsline

:23:18.:23:21.

next week we will be taking a close look. Oh, and I will be ditching my

:23:22.:23:26.

smartphone for seven days to see if I can cope. I don't think he will be

:23:27.:23:29.

able to. Now sport - and the next wave

:23:30.:23:30.

of World Cup qualifiers is upon us. It's relentless, Tara - the big

:23:31.:23:34.

football wheel keeps on turning. It's Northern Ireland v San Marino

:23:35.:23:37.

in Belfast on Saturday. Tonight, in Group D,

:23:38.:23:40.

Georgia are in Dublin From the venue, here's our reporter

:23:41.:23:43.

Thomas Kane. Even at this early stage of the

:23:44.:23:56.

campaign, the next four days could prove to be crucial for Martin

:23:57.:24:01.

O'Neill's site. For very into an evenly matched teams and only one

:24:02.:24:04.

automatic qualifying spot for Russia, Group D is said to be one of

:24:05.:24:08.

the most competitive. It means it is imperative not to slip up against

:24:09.:24:12.

Moldova and Georgia. The manager is taking nothing for granted. If

:24:13.:24:19.

anyone here had watched the Georgia match against Austria, they caused

:24:20.:24:23.

Austria a lot of problems. A lot of problems during the course of the

:24:24.:24:27.

game. They could have forced an equaliser and could have scored

:24:28.:24:31.

first in the game in fact. It is a difficult game. Anybody who watched

:24:32.:24:38.

the game in the last couple of years would realise that this is a

:24:39.:24:43.

difficult match for us. Georgia will take points from teams without a

:24:44.:24:49.

doubt. I would say, considering if you're talking about rankings, which

:24:50.:24:53.

I don't go along with anyway, they have got to be the best ranked side

:24:54.:24:59.

playing in the particular groups. The Republic of Ireland have won all

:25:00.:25:03.

of their previous contests against the opponents tonight. We will have

:25:04.:25:07.

all the best of the action in our late BBC Newsline bulletin. That is

:25:08.:25:10.

at 10:30pm. The games are over but the fallout

:25:11.:25:27.

continues. All the officials have been suspended from the boxing

:25:28.:25:33.

tournament until an investigation has been carried out. That is the

:25:34.:25:36.

sport. Let's get the weather. We have had a

:25:37.:25:47.

problem with our computer system. We are starting with this lovely

:25:48.:25:55.

picture. It was taken yesterday from Dundrum out towards the more

:25:56.:25:58.

mountains. A lovely twilight scene. Now the cloud is breaking out, the

:25:59.:26:03.

breeze picking up the cloud, we might see scenes like this again

:26:04.:26:08.

this evening. Also in Dublin, pretty similar skies there is the Republic

:26:09.:26:12.

of Ireland take on Georgia. Clear skies but also that cool

:26:13.:26:15.

south-easterly breeze. Through this evening the first part of tonight...

:26:16.:26:24.

Temperatures falling away. Around seven or eight Celsius. Although the

:26:25.:26:30.

breeze is easing down we do get more cloud coming in on the

:26:31.:26:32.

south-easterly breeze and that will indicate what is coming in tomorrow.

:26:33.:26:37.

Cloudy skies and a few showers in the forecast compared to what we

:26:38.:26:42.

have had lately. Mainly across the eastern counties. Not all parents

:26:43.:26:48.

will get them. Light and scattered. In the west you might not see any at

:26:49.:26:56.

all. Highs of 14 Celsius. As we head into the weekend, high pressure are

:26:57.:26:59.

still over us. Mainly light winds and should be some bright spells.

:27:00.:27:04.

Thank you, Angie. I will be back with our latest news at 10:30pm.

:27:05.:27:08.
