:01:20. > :01:21.the names of firms But it can't yet release details
:01:22. > :01:25.of individuals in the scheme. The judge said it appeared

:01:30. > :01:31.would publish as soon Here's our Agriculture
:01:32. > :01:47.and Environment Correspondent, The courts have been wrestling with
:01:48. > :01:51.the issue of naming those receiving nondomestic subsidy since
:01:52. > :01:54.mid-January. Today the judge made his judgment. It means the
:01:55. > :01:59.Department for the economy can publish details of companies getting
:02:00. > :02:03.the money, but anyone who applied under their own name has one more
:02:04. > :02:07.shot at anonymity. They will have to be given the chance to explain why
:02:08. > :02:12.they should not be named under data protection legislation. Each case
:02:13. > :02:17.will be assessed on its merits. Justice Dini said those in receipt
:02:18. > :02:21.of the subsidy did not have what amounted to a legally binding
:02:22. > :02:25.contract. He also said there was a clear case for publication of
:02:26. > :02:30.details, which he said could help address some abuses in the scheme.
:02:31. > :02:36.The court heard a reference to one well-known company which had up to
:02:37. > :02:40.seven boilers and earned up to ?300,000 in subsidies since July
:02:41. > :02:45.2000 15. The Justice said there may well be legitimate reasons for that
:02:46. > :02:51.and similar installations, but they can be explained to the upcoming
:02:52. > :02:55.public enquiry. He said eyebrows might be raised by some of the
:02:56. > :02:59.publications but that was not a good reason not to publish. The court was
:03:00. > :03:03.our three temporary postponement but the department said the Minister for
:03:04. > :03:06.the economy would only have the power to publish while he was still
:03:07. > :03:12.a minister and that would run out either today or tomorrow. This
:03:13. > :03:14.afternoon the court heard the boiler owners were not looking for an
:03:15. > :03:20.extension of the temporary injunction, effectively lifting the
:03:21. > :03:26.final obstacle to publication of names by Guinea companies. Tonight
:03:27. > :03:27.the department said it would publish as soon as practical and after
:03:28. > :03:31.details had been checked. New plans have been announced

:03:42. > :03:42.the Albertbridge Road. The fresh proposal includes offices
:03:43. > :03:45.and houses as well as a hotel. Our economics and business editor

:04:03. > :04:08.Little more than scrubby grass and graffiti covered walls. It was once
:04:09. > :04:11.a major industrial area, making fans and compressors. The factory was
:04:12. > :04:16.torn down at the turn of the century and little has happened here since
:04:17. > :04:22.then. The new owner is a consortium led by the Warwickshire -based St
:04:23. > :04:27.Francis group. It proposes a scheme including an office development and
:04:28. > :04:31.over 800 homes. It would also feature a new footbridge towards the
:04:32. > :04:35.Waterfront Hall. The designer said they should effectively expand the
:04:36. > :04:41.city centre. It is an extension to the existing fabric of the city. It
:04:42. > :04:46.is about place making, as well. We do a lot of work like this across
:04:47. > :04:51.the world. It can become a fantastic asset for the city. But we have been
:04:52. > :04:55.here before. A former owner had ambitious plans for a supermarket
:04:56. > :05:00.and office blocks, but the property crash intervened. This building was
:05:01. > :05:05.a marketing suite and is all there is to show for that previous
:05:06. > :05:09.regeneration attempt. This is a prime waterfront site. The city
:05:10. > :05:13.centre is just across the river behind me. It seems hardly
:05:14. > :05:18.believable so little has happened here in 20 years. Now there is a
:05:19. > :05:22.real chance of this site will be brought back into productive use.
:05:23. > :05:27.The owners say it will be a gradual process. It could take up to another
:05:28. > :05:29.20 years to fully build up this site.
:05:30. > :05:32.After a fractious five-week election campaign, tomorrow is polling day

:05:40. > :05:52.This is what it is all about. Winning a seat in the chamber. This
:05:53. > :05:55.time it is going to be harder than ever because the number of seats had
:05:56. > :06:02.been cut. This is what happened last time. In total, 108 members were
:06:03. > :06:07.elected. There was not much room in the chamber but that will change.
:06:08. > :06:12.Only 90 seats are now up for grabs. No longer six seats per
:06:13. > :06:17.constituency, only five. It will be interesting to see what impact it
:06:18. > :06:19.has. It is over to the voters. The polls are open from seven o'clock in
:06:20. > :06:24.the morning until ten o'clock tomorrow night. But counting does
:06:25. > :06:30.not begin until Friday morning. If you intend to vote tomorrow they
:06:31. > :06:34.will be a bit of rain around but the temperature is not bad at 7 degrees.
:06:35. > :06:36.At this stage, looking ahead to the election, these are the only numbers
:06:37. > :06:40.we can safely predict. On the final day of campaigning
:06:41. > :06:44.the former First Minister Peter Robinson has urged the politicians
:06:45. > :06:47.to be careful not to close off sensible options they could take
:06:48. > :06:49.once the talks get We're joined now by Our Political
:06:50. > :07:00.Editor Mark Devenport. It is a fairly unusual intervention
:07:01. > :07:02.from Peter Robinson. He said he had avoided giving a running commentary
:07:03. > :07:08.on political events but now he is concerned about the continued
:07:09. > :07:11.existence of the Stormont institution which has outweighed his
:07:12. > :07:17.plans for a quiet retirement. You get the sense of an elder statesman
:07:18. > :07:21.looking down, calling politicians to step back, take a breath and make
:07:22. > :07:27.sure there is space for an agreement to be reached when the process is
:07:28. > :07:30.over. He is looking forward to a high unionist turnout and said he
:07:31. > :07:34.believes the argument that the people should have their say is
:07:35. > :07:39.bogus and there should be an enquiry and cost-cutting measures in
:07:40. > :07:43.relation to the RHI scheme. He said he cannot help feeling that while
:07:44. > :07:46.Martin McGuinness had been in good health, the breakdown would have
:07:47. > :07:53.been avoided and instead he argues more belligerent areas in Sinn Fein
:07:54. > :07:57.have seized the opportunity. Gerry Adams has also been campaigning
:07:58. > :08:01.today. Yes, in the West. He was posing with candidates on the river
:08:02. > :08:08.stroll, some making jokes that there were crocodiles, does not seem
:08:09. > :08:13.likely at any time of the year. But in a blog he wrote, a regular
:08:14. > :08:16.weekly, he rejects the notion that there is one element of Sinn Fein
:08:17. > :08:20.and Martin McGuinness would have done things differently. He said he
:08:21. > :08:26.resigned because he was making a stand in favour of good governance.
:08:27. > :08:28.He said in the last election the DUP said if you do not vote for their
:08:29. > :08:33.Martin McGuinness would become the first Minister, Gerry Adams said
:08:34. > :08:37.shock, horror, he was the bogeyman in that election but with him
:08:38. > :08:43.obviously ill and the new, new to the job, I, Gerry Adams, will make
:08:44. > :08:49.the perfect bogeyman for this one. David Kennedy has had cause to
:08:50. > :08:53.complain. -- Danny Kennedy. He complained fake leaflets are being
:08:54. > :08:59.put out in his name with an Ulster Unionists letter heading tacking the
:09:00. > :09:03.DUP in County Armagh and strongly criticising his opponent, William
:09:04. > :09:07.Owen. You might think, what is the problem, this is an opponent, why
:09:08. > :09:13.should he be concerned? But Danny Kennedy in contrast to his leader
:09:14. > :09:15.about giving his number two boat to the SDLP, Danny Kennedy said he
:09:16. > :09:21.thought his supporters should transfer their boats in a prounion
:09:22. > :09:26.way towards Erwin. He feels there is foul play with somebody trying to
:09:27. > :09:32.jam open a crack between the unionist in County Armagh. What
:09:33. > :09:38.about the Unionists? I am sure they are out and about on the street as
:09:39. > :09:42.we speak. The SDLP's Claire Hanna is pushing the line the party has
:09:43. > :09:47.pushed that it is a choice between direct rule and devolution. He said
:09:48. > :09:49.the SDLP is willing to join a coalition with the Ulster Unionist
:09:50. > :09:55.Party, the Green party and the Alliance. It would be a way to save
:09:56. > :10:01.devolution, they argue. Naomi Long was getting some praise on social
:10:02. > :10:04.media for her performance in the leader debate last night. Some said
:10:05. > :10:12.she was the only politician talking sense so far. Her Twitter party
:10:13. > :10:15.says, she does get quite cross at times and Naomi Long said, I prefer
:10:16. > :10:20.to call it passionate. Mark, thank you.
:10:21. > :10:22.Northern Ireland's Air Ambulance will be doctor-led, the health

:10:25. > :10:33.Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK not to have an operational
:10:34. > :10:39.air ambulance service yet. But that will change. The new service will
:10:40. > :10:41.take off from the maze site near Lisburn within three months and
:10:42. > :10:46.operate seven days a week in daylight hours. Despite initial
:10:47. > :10:50.concerns when it takes to the skies it will have a doctor on board. The
:10:51. > :10:54.quicker you can get the specialist treatment to the patient, the
:10:55. > :11:02.better. To have a doctor led service is better. We will provide one of
:11:03. > :11:08.the best services in Europe. There is another helicopter in Enniskillen
:11:09. > :11:13.to provide cover when the primary is not available. There is an estimated
:11:14. > :11:16.cost around ?2 million per year, around half raised by charity. It
:11:17. > :11:20.might have taken years to set up but when it is airborne it will reach

:12:07. > :12:11.and money those involved say they fear patients
:12:12. > :12:14.elsewhere won't benefit. Our Health Correspondent
:12:15. > :12:26.Marie-Louise Connolly reports. Following a car accident Philip
:12:27. > :12:31.Irvine needed a lot of physiotherapy. He says being able to
:12:32. > :12:36.refer himself to a physiotherapist within the health service helped get
:12:37. > :12:41.him back on his feet a lot faster. It was quick and fast. I had
:12:42. > :12:46.ownership of it. I was able to go into the system, I was able to put
:12:47. > :12:52.in my details and was able to say exactly how I felt. How I felt my
:12:53. > :12:57.symptoms were. I gave that detail to the physiotherapy department. Direct
:12:58. > :13:01.access physiotherapy is only available for those in the South
:13:02. > :13:06.Eastern health trust, by filling in a form or going online, patients can
:13:07. > :13:12.make direct contact with the service, cutting out the GP, saving
:13:13. > :13:16.everybody time. While the scheme has proved it saves money, according to
:13:17. > :13:20.people involved in the project rolling it out elsewhere appears to
:13:21. > :13:25.have been put on hold. We have a scheme which is working very well.
:13:26. > :13:29.We know it reduces GP workload. More patients had to go and see the
:13:30. > :13:33.physiotherapist. We know it works. I do not understand why we cannot roll
:13:34. > :13:37.it out across Northern Ireland. I think it is probably down to lack of
:13:38. > :13:41.decisive decision-making. The concept of direct referral is not
:13:42. > :13:47.new. It has been rolled out across Scotland and much of England and
:13:48. > :13:51.where. While it is down in Northern Ireland, elsewhere it is on the
:13:52. > :13:56.rise. The figures show over 33,000 people are waiting to be assessed by
:13:57. > :14:00.a physiotherapist. And according to the Department of Health targets,
:14:01. > :14:06.nobody should have to wait any more than 13 weeks to start treatment.
:14:07. > :14:10.Despite some of those involved sensing the entire process is being
:14:11. > :14:14.stalled, in a statement a spokesperson from the health and
:14:15. > :14:19.social care board said they support the roll-out of direct access
:14:20. > :14:22.physiotherapy and are committed to reducing waiting lists, a key
:14:23. > :14:28.requirements to the effective introduction of the service. Despite
:14:29. > :14:31.those words, many are still sceptical and they blame the current
:14:32. > :14:37.political impasse for important decisions not being made. There does
:14:38. > :14:40.seem to be a failing in the current political system in Stormont with
:14:41. > :14:44.the situation we have at the moment. People do not seem to be able to
:14:45. > :14:49.take decisions. This is a simple example. It was not going to solve
:14:50. > :14:54.universal health problems but it was a step forward for many people, a
:14:55. > :14:57.simple one. Physiotherapists have lobbied for direct access to
:14:58. > :15:00.patients in the health service in 2010. By all accounts their campaign
:15:01. > :15:03.is not over yet. Tributes have been paid
:15:04. > :15:05.to the former SDLP MLA and councillor PJ Bradley,
:15:06. > :15:07.who has died following Mr Bradley, who was from Burren
:15:08. > :15:10.outside Warrenpoint, was an assembly member
:15:11. > :15:13.for South Down from 1998 to 2011, and served as a councillor
:15:14. > :15:16.for 24 years. His daughter Sinead is an SDLP
:15:17. > :15:19.candidate for the same constituency Mr Bradley has been described
:15:20. > :15:38.as a gentleman politician who worked He was driven by the need to serve
:15:39. > :15:43.people, to represent and deliver for people. And I suppose in many ways
:15:44. > :15:49.that is what a true public servant in the local community, whether it
:15:50. > :15:51.is a counsellor, a member or an MP, you do that because you want to
:15:52. > :15:55.improve and better your community. Whether there should be an Irish
:15:56. > :15:57.language act has been Nationalists and other parties want
:15:58. > :16:02.one, many unionists don't. But what do Irish speakers feel
:16:03. > :16:04.about a language act Our Education Correspondent Robbie
:16:05. > :16:21.Meredith has been finding out. The same sums, but in Irish. For
:16:22. > :16:26.these people... One of only two Irish speaking schools in Ireland
:16:27. > :16:30.and the only one outside Belfast. My mother and father speaks Irish and
:16:31. > :16:36.we all speak Irish together. Here we do every subject and it is no
:16:37. > :16:41.different from a normal school. The School opened, controversially, in
:16:42. > :16:44.2015, with only 16 pupils. Since then that number has travelled and
:16:45. > :16:53.it is expected to rise again this year. The Irish language has opened
:16:54. > :16:57.in the mountains and their is, maybe the seat was lying dormant for a
:16:58. > :17:02.while and the Irish medium of education and community sector has
:17:03. > :17:07.enabled that seat to grow again. At the school and some other areas the
:17:08. > :17:12.language is already obvious but what differences in practice might a
:17:13. > :17:17.language act make? It could be used in court, at assembly debates, in
:17:18. > :17:21.policing and other state functions. And a commissioner would be put in
:17:22. > :17:25.place to make sure the use of the language is facilitated. Those
:17:26. > :17:31.proposals and others were detailed in this government document back in
:17:32. > :17:35.2015. But how much it might cost to implement the act has not been
:17:36. > :17:40.estimated. Another class, this time in South Belfast. Lifelong learning
:17:41. > :17:42.students here come from different backgrounds and do not see why a
:17:43. > :17:47.language act should be controversial. It is not something
:17:48. > :17:52.we have the opportunity to learn at school but I have always had an
:17:53. > :17:57.interest in language in general. It would not necessarily force people
:17:58. > :18:06.to use Irish. And it would potentially not politicise the
:18:07. > :18:13.language to some degree. Enshrining it to protect the language, the
:18:14. > :18:18.Welsh has got theirs. A fluent Irish speaker is a Protestant and
:18:19. > :18:23.Unionist. A very important move for me would be the appointment of an
:18:24. > :18:27.Irish language Commissioner, or indeed a languages Commissioner for
:18:28. > :18:36.Northern Ireland, who could take a look at the overarching question
:18:37. > :18:38.surrounding Irish... At one time Protestants ensured the language
:18:39. > :18:44.survived, according to some observers. I think the Irish
:18:45. > :18:48.language should be taken out of the political arena because in Northern
:18:49. > :18:51.Ireland it is a sectarian arena. The Presbyterian Church has done more to
:18:52. > :18:56.preserve and protect the Irish language that the Catholic Church
:18:57. > :18:59.ever did. In the 17th century the Presbyterian Church translated the
:19:00. > :19:03.Bible into Irish but the Catholic Church never managed that until
:19:04. > :19:07.1981. The Irish speakers I have spoken with did not want the
:19:08. > :19:12.language to be apolitical football but when it comes to a language act,
:19:13. > :19:16.the challenge is still to get all the politicians in harmony.

:20:22. > :20:27.Behind me the first team are playing their second team. They also have
:20:28. > :20:33.another 16 team, and under 12 team and 15 players in total and every

:20:44. > :20:49.have music and dances... The club is not exclusive. This week E a C Wars
:20:50. > :20:56.will come their local players but the presence in this games is not
:20:57. > :21:00.limited to those on the courts. The under 12 or under 16, the support,
:21:01. > :21:08.even the family for the away matches, here it is amazing. It is
:21:09. > :21:13.just a religion. If you go back home, there were so many supporters
:21:14. > :21:19.outside. We have six Lithuanian teams and national teams in the

:21:23. > :21:28.mail manager. We know they bring a lot to the game, with the families.
:21:29. > :21:32.It has changed. People are migrating to work here and we knew there would
:21:33. > :21:35.be basketball players coming. We hoped we would get them involved in
:21:36. > :21:39.the local game and thankfully they did and they have created these
:21:40. > :21:43.teams. We are surprised at how many. But they just keep coming. The club
:21:44. > :21:45.says it plans to keep growing and attract players from outside the
:21:46. > :21:48.Baltic states. Rory McIlroy has found himself
:21:49. > :21:50.fielding more questions about "that" round of golf with the president
:21:51. > :22:05.of the United States. As he continue recovering from a rib
:22:06. > :22:06.injury he played 18 holes with US President Donald Trump recently, in
:22:07. > :22:11.Florida. He returns to competitive action
:22:12. > :22:13.at the World Golf Championship in Mexico tomorrow after
:22:14. > :22:15.a seven-week absence. At the pre-tournament media
:22:16. > :22:19.conference, the world number three. He's preparing for the first
:22:20. > :22:21.major of the season, the Masters in five weeks and has
:22:22. > :22:31.responded to his critics. If it had been president Obama, I
:22:32. > :22:34.have played golf with President Clinton and spent time with
:22:35. > :22:39.President Bush. I have been around with quite a few presidents before.
:22:40. > :22:45.Putting it to one side, I wanted to have an experience that I might not
:22:46. > :22:49.ever get. I might respect the guy or not respect the guy. I do not care.
:22:50. > :22:54.If somebody has the chance to play in that scenario and just sort of
:22:55. > :22:59.experience the whole thing, it is not as if we were speaking foreign
:23:00. > :23:04.policy out there. We were talking about golf and the grass on the
:23:05. > :23:08.greens. He was happy to talk about golf than anything else has to do
:23:09. > :23:14.these days. I was a bit taken aback by what I received. But I understand
:23:15. > :23:24.why. I get the divisive rhetoric and everything that was said. I was just
:23:25. > :23:27.doing what I felt was respectful. The president of the United States
:23:28. > :23:32.calls you up and wants to play golf with you, I was not going to say no.
:23:33. > :23:37.It is what it is. I am not American. I cannot change the political system
:23:38. > :23:40.there and what is going to happen. I cannot vote. I could not really do
:23:41. > :23:44.anything other than respect the offer. -- respect the office. Just
:23:45. > :23:47.go play and take it from there. Ireland international Paddy Jackson
:23:48. > :23:50.has signed a two year extension The new deal will keep
:23:51. > :23:53.the 25-year-old at the Kingpspan Stadium until at least
:23:54. > :23:55.the summer of 2019. It is believed Jackson turned down
:23:56. > :23:57.offers from other clubs with Northampton and Bristol
:23:58. > :24:00.understood to have made advances. Jackson made his
:24:01. > :24:05.Ulster debut in 2011. Paralympic champion Kelly Gallagher
:24:06. > :24:07.has spoken of her determination to get back on the slopes
:24:08. > :24:10.following a nasty spill during a training camp
:24:11. > :24:11.in Italy last month. The visually impaired skier,
:24:12. > :24:15.who won gold at the Sochi games three years ago,
:24:16. > :24:17.suffered a dislocated elbow But as Nigel Ringland
:24:18. > :24:33.reports, Kelly is now well These were the pictures of Kelly
:24:34. > :24:37.Gallagher being transported down the mountain after a horrible crash.
:24:38. > :24:41.There was no television coverage of the accident itself, but the
:24:42. > :24:45.Paralympic champion vividly remembers the moment it happened.
:24:46. > :24:50.You have the feeling you are flying through the air and you think, oh,
:24:51. > :24:53.no, here it comes. I felt it and instantly I felt something was wrong
:24:54. > :25:00.with my harm. My guide got to me first. I asked him to get my
:25:01. > :25:04.engagement ring of my hand in case they cut it. I have my priorities!
:25:05. > :25:08.Before they gave me morphine hide told them nobody should tell my
:25:09. > :25:13.mother. I did not want anybody to tell her about me. She has suffered
:25:14. > :25:16.through various injuries since the Olympics and has also tried to form
:25:17. > :25:22.a working relationship with a new guide, Gary Smith, as they prepare
:25:23. > :25:26.for the games next year in Korea. It has taken me a bit longer to put my
:25:27. > :25:30.trust in myself. I lost a lot of confidence after Sochi with chopping
:25:31. > :25:35.and changing and not knowing what I was up to. Me and Gary are working
:25:36. > :25:39.together on our relationship and me coming back with confidence from
:25:40. > :25:43.injury, we will see what the snow is like and have a really good look and
:25:44. > :25:47.I just put my trust in him because he is the guy with eyes. He can
:25:48. > :25:52.guide me down. It is good he is still able to work on our campaign,
:25:53. > :25:56.even though I am not able to do very much at the moment. Recovery is the
:25:57. > :25:58.top priority but she still hopes to be on top of the podium in 12
:25:59. > :26:04.months. Let's hope so. Banbridge Academy have won the girls
:26:05. > :26:07.Ulster Schools Hockey Cup after beating Wallace High School
:26:08. > :26:09.4-0 in this afternoon's final. Katie McKee was the hat-trick hero
:26:10. > :26:12.for Banbridge, this superb solo effort was the pick of her goals
:26:13. > :26:15.as she led her school to victory in the competition for the first
:26:16. > :26:18.time in over a century. Banbridge will now go
:26:19. > :26:20.on to represent Ulster in the All Ireland Schools
:26:21. > :26:32.Championship, which will take place We will have full highlights on that
:26:33. > :26:37.game on the BBC sport website and you can see the action from the
:26:38. > :26:40.rugby semifinals, Ambridge have had to wait 111 years to win that trophy
:26:41. > :26:43.so I think they deserve to celebrate.
:26:44. > :26:50.Now the weather. The 1st of March is the first day of spring in the
:26:51. > :26:55.meteorological calendar and we certainly had a springlike feel to
:26:56. > :27:02.the weather. Plenty of pictures coming in, this is capturing the
:27:03. > :27:06.nice sunny intervals over Newtown woods this morning. By the evening a
:27:07. > :27:10.very different feel. A different note in the weather because of a
:27:11. > :27:13.weather front which has slowly been moving north across Ireland through
:27:14. > :27:19.the day and bringing rain and a little bit of hills no for a time.
:27:20. > :27:24.Wet snow this evening and in the first part of the night. Were these
:27:25. > :27:28.guys are the cloudy is, just above freezing and clear skies, just below
:27:29. > :27:33.freezing. I think you are going to need a woolly coat. It will be a
:27:34. > :27:37.cold start to the day tomorrow. Some showers around going through the
:27:38. > :27:42.morning but also a couple of bright spells, at least in the first half
:27:43. > :27:46.of the day. Going through into the afternoon and early evening the
:27:47. > :27:52.skies are clouding over and gradually rain working its way in.
:27:53. > :27:55.The values are not far off today, a high of seven or 8 degrees I think
:27:56. > :27:58.tomorrow but given the extra wind-chill factor I think it will
:27:59. > :28:03.feel cooler, especially with less sunshine. Overnight the rain
:28:04. > :28:09.gradually moving north and milder air behind it. Going through Friday
:28:10. > :28:13.this low-pressure will be delivering quite a bit of rain in parts of
:28:14. > :28:18.England for a time. We will not see very much of that. What we do see
:28:19. > :28:23.will be confined on the east coast and further west, cloudy but mostly
:28:24. > :28:27.dry going through the day on Friday. Feeling cooler in the north-easterly
:28:28. > :28:32.wind, hey cool direction for it to be coming from. It is not until
:28:33. > :28:36.Saturday we start to see significant rain from that area of low pressure.
:28:37. > :28:43.It will be confined in the main on the East Coast of County Antrim and
:28:44. > :28:46.County Down. In the evening everybody is going to see a little
:28:47. > :28:51.bit in the way of sunshine and showers. Only on Saturday morning
:28:52. > :28:58.are we going to see some more persistent rain. So all in all it is
:28:59. > :29:03.not a wash-out, is it? I will be back with a late programme at half
:29:04. > :29:04.past ten. From everybody on BBC Newsline, have a
