:02:33. > :02:36.been at pains to point out that being on the list is not indicate
:02:37. > :02:39.any wrongdoing on the part of the companies. The next important step
:02:40. > :02:44.in this saga will be the inspections that are planned. Not only will they
:02:45. > :02:48.ensure that the boilers are compliant with the scheme, but that
:02:49. > :02:52.the businesses really do need the heat. There are a wide range of
:02:53. > :02:58.businesses in the list. The lots are farms, mostly paltry and mushroom,
:02:59. > :03:01.but there are also manufacturing, haulage and energy firms as well as

:04:47. > :04:52.28-year-old Irish woman had travelled to India on a British
:04:53. > :04:56.passport. She was on holiday in Goa. Police believe the man with her in
:04:57. > :05:00.this CCTV footage is responsible for her murder. They have arrested him
:05:01. > :05:08.and say they have compelling evidence. TRANSLATION: When we

:05:19. > :05:22.lot of forensics evidence. This is a state that is known all over the

:06:27. > :06:36.Shane, how did the meeting between Enda Kenny and Donald Trump go?
:06:37. > :06:42.Well, Enda Kenny is in Washington, DC almost certainly for the last
:06:43. > :06:45.time as Taoiseach. He had a 35 minute meeting with the American
:06:46. > :06:50.president this morning, during which Mr Trump confirmed that he will be
:06:51. > :06:54.coming to Ireland during his presidency. After the meeting the
:06:55. > :06:57.Taoiseach briefed reporters outside the White House and he said that
:06:58. > :07:04.they had discussed many matters, including Northern Ireland. I gave
:07:05. > :07:08.the president a detailed account of the outcome of the election in
:07:09. > :07:11.Northern Ireland, the fact that it is our priority to put together an
:07:12. > :07:15.executive that will provide a voice for Northern Ireland and the fact
:07:16. > :07:19.that there is a clear agreement with the British government that there
:07:20. > :07:22.will be no return to a hard border and there will be no direct rule
:07:23. > :07:26.brought back from London. The president asked a number of
:07:27. > :07:30.questions about what the hard border meant in the past and I pointed out
:07:31. > :07:35.to him about customs posts, the secretary violence that brought with
:07:36. > :07:37.it, the engagement of the United States along with Europe in terms of
:07:38. > :07:43.putting together the peace process and the fact that during those times
:07:44. > :07:46.it wasn't possible to travel from some counties in the Republic to
:07:47. > :07:52.Northern Ireland because of roads being blown up. He had a very clear
:07:53. > :07:57.understanding of that. What did Donald Trump had to say? Well, Mr
:07:58. > :08:04.Trump made his comments here on Capitol Hill at Speaker Paul Ryan's
:08:05. > :08:08.lunch and in his remarks, which were brief, he emphasised the close ties
:08:09. > :08:16.between Ireland and America. And all of our friends welcoming Taoiseach,
:08:17. > :08:20.that's my new friend, my new friend. He's a great guy. The people of
:08:21. > :08:25.Ireland and the people of the United States have stuck together through
:08:26. > :08:32.good times and bad times. Over many centuries we have tilt a bond that
:08:33. > :08:35.thrives, inspires and insurers and with us it is going to be closer
:08:36. > :08:40.than ever before, I can tell you that. And there was a special
:08:41. > :08:46.Northern Ireland breakfast this morning. Yes, an annual event, the
:08:47. > :08:49.Northern Ireland breakfast. Normally the First and Deputy First Minister
:08:50. > :08:52.and attended but of course they don't exist at the moment, so the
:08:53. > :08:58.main speech was given by the head of the Northern Ireland civil service,
:08:59. > :09:01.who gave a relatively optimistic account of where they are in terms
:09:02. > :09:06.of the negotiations back at Stormont. He said he was heading
:09:07. > :09:11.back there later this afternoon for those discussions. Also present was
:09:12. > :09:14.the Lord Mayor of Belfast Brian Kingston who said that he did pick
:09:15. > :09:18.up at the gathering that there was some concern for the political
:09:19. > :09:22.stability of Northern Ireland and that he would like to see devolution
:09:23. > :09:23.restored as soon as possible. Thank you.
:09:24. > :09:26.Meanwhile Enda Kenny has welcomed comments by the UK's Brexit Minister
:09:27. > :09:29.that there will be no customs posts built along the border after Brexit.
:09:30. > :09:32.David Davis said the UK Government will invest in technology
:09:33. > :09:35.which means that customs posts won't be needed.
:09:36. > :09:38.But he gave few details of how exactly the system will work.
:09:39. > :09:43.Here's our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell.
:09:44. > :09:50.The days of customs posts are gone and won't be returning.
:09:51. > :09:54.That's effectively the pledge from the Brexit Minister.
:09:55. > :10:04.It is not going to be easy, it will cost us money. It will cost a lot of
:10:05. > :10:07.work on technology and so on to make the border controls on goods but
:10:08. > :10:10.without having border posts and that is what we intend to do. That is
:10:11. > :10:11.what we intend to do. That echoes language that's been
:10:12. > :10:20.used by the Irish government. I am glad to have heard the comments
:10:21. > :10:23.by secretary Davies. We have a political agreement between the
:10:24. > :10:26.government that I lead and the British government that there will
:10:27. > :10:31.be no return to a hard border, a border with customs posts which
:10:32. > :10:38.brought with it difficulties in the past. This is the border. If we go
:10:39. > :10:41.over here we can see behind this fence the old customs post. This is
:10:42. > :10:46.where lorries would have been pulled in to be checked. It is the sort of
:10:47. > :10:50.place with the British and Irish government do not want to reopen but
:10:51. > :10:54.David Davis was clear that there will have to be some sort of customs
:10:55. > :10:58.controls. He dropped baby about technology but what could that
:10:59. > :11:00.actually mean in practice? -- he taught vaguely about technology.
:11:01. > :11:04.Electronic filing of customs declarations
:11:05. > :11:15.We are optimistic. We know it does not make sense, really, to have
:11:16. > :11:20.border post is on all the crossings we have here. The concern is that
:11:21. > :11:25.the UK say they will not have border posts but it is up to the EU member
:11:26. > :11:26.states as to whether there will be posts on the Republic side of the
:11:27. > :11:31.border. That's an important point -
:11:32. > :11:34.this isn't just a discussion It's between the UK
:11:35. > :11:37.and the EU as a whole. Other EU frontiers,
:11:38. > :11:39.like the crossing between Sweden So it will take unique deal
:11:40. > :11:43.to prevent their return There is sympathy
:11:44. > :11:47.for our special case. This recent Tweet from Guy
:11:48. > :11:51.Verhofstadt, the Brexit negotiator for the European Parliament,
:11:52. > :11:53.spoke of the need to But his is just one voice among
:11:54. > :12:01.many on the EU side. Other governments will need to see
:12:02. > :12:04.exactly what the UK is proposing Some of today's other news now
:12:05. > :12:15.and two men have been arrested in connection with the murder
:12:16. > :12:18.of a high profile loyalist. George Gilmore was shot in the neck

:12:40. > :12:45.grievous bodily injury The impact of the collision
:12:46. > :12:50.was described by one witness as a like a snowplough with people
:12:51. > :12:52.being swept away. It happened on Apollo Road off
:12:53. > :12:56.the Boucher Road in south Belfast in November 2015 as a television
:12:57. > :13:01.programme was being filmed for RTE. The court was told McGrattan
:13:02. > :13:05.was driving at speeds of between 52 and 69 mph in the moments before
:13:06. > :13:12.the crash in a 30 mph zone. As he approached the bend,
:13:13. > :13:15.he tried to break but struck Mounted the pavement at around 25
:13:16. > :13:23.mph, he hit a group of extras. A defence lawyer told
:13:24. > :13:32.the court his client has suffered He struck the pedestrians like a
:13:33. > :13:36.bowling ball strikes pins, while Gwyneth said. People were trapped
:13:37. > :13:41.under the accused's car and against the fence -- one witness said. The
:13:42. > :13:46.injuries were severe, in cases like changing. One victim has been left

:14:04. > :14:05.Inflation has been rising in recent months.
:14:06. > :14:07.There's been an increase in food and energy prices.
:14:08. > :14:09.So how are households managing with the current cost of living?
:14:10. > :14:22.The Prime Minister, Theresa May, says she wants to help people who
:14:23. > :14:28.are working hard but do not feel better off. Those who are just about
:14:29. > :14:32.managing. I have come here to talk to two different groups of people
:14:33. > :14:36.with different financial priorities. In a moment we will hear from some
:14:37. > :14:41.young mothers but first, some older citizens who are here at the leisure
:14:42. > :14:48.centre to try to keep fit. I suppose as a pensioner it is things like
:14:49. > :14:53.foodstuff, I noticed lately when I go shopping that prices are starting
:14:54. > :14:58.to creep up and I suppose you'll prices, oil had been low for a while
:14:59. > :15:03.and it's now it has gone up again although there are hopes for it
:15:04. > :15:07.coming down. Do you think with the government guaranteeing the state
:15:08. > :15:11.pension that that has helped or alleviated any difficulties that
:15:12. > :15:18.pensioners may have? It does help but what you must remember is 2.5%
:15:19. > :15:25.is from a low base and 2.5% on ?100 a week isn't as much as 2.5%, maybe
:15:26. > :15:32.somebody earning three or ?400 a week. I don't buy things I can do
:15:33. > :15:41.without, you know, things that maybe were extras but now you say, do I
:15:42. > :15:44.really need that? I just prioritise things. My daughter has four
:15:45. > :15:49.children say it is difficult for them. The first one is that high
:15:50. > :15:54.school, the other three are at primary school, so there is a big
:15:55. > :15:58.outlay there all the time. Young ones just setting out, trying to buy
:15:59. > :16:01.a home now, my son is getting married next year, you know, people
:16:02. > :16:13.like that, it is really difficult for them to start off.
:16:14. > :16:18.I know somebody at the minute he was about to have another baby, it will
:16:19. > :16:21.be her third and she said she hasn't been able to enjoy the pregnancy
:16:22. > :16:25.much because she is worried about how they will manage afterwards, so
:16:26. > :16:32.I think definitely the main problems are with the cost of childcare and
:16:33. > :16:36.with some jobs it is very flexible, you can go part-time, but some
:16:37. > :16:43.aren't, so I have met a lot of mums that had had to give up work to make
:16:44. > :16:46.things work at home. I am currently on maternity leave and preparing to
:16:47. > :16:52.go back to work. The cost of living makes things difficult nowadays for
:16:53. > :16:57.a full-time childcare place for Nina, a's going to be nearly ?600 a
:16:58. > :17:02.month, so it is quite difficult being in full-time work, both myself
:17:03. > :17:07.and my husband. You find that after you have paid all your bills in the
:17:08. > :17:10.month there isn't much left. I am a part-time headdress and student and
:17:11. > :17:15.my partner works full-time as well so we find it very difficult to
:17:16. > :17:18.juggle everything. Obviously with working part-time I'm not a
:17:19. > :17:22.full-time wage but I still need a childcare so I can go to school and
:17:23. > :17:28.everything else. We find it a big struggle at the moment. How do you
:17:29. > :17:34.prioritise your finances because of the outgoings you have, the
:17:35. > :17:38.childcare costs and all of that? We don't eat out, we cook in the house
:17:39. > :17:42.more than what we would have done before we had children, we don't go
:17:43. > :17:44.out. It is a big impact on our life compare to what it used to be that
:17:45. > :17:45.we don't mind. All over the country, students have
:17:46. > :17:48.been making their own headlines Eleven to sixteen year

:18:09. > :18:13.Carl Frampton to say yes Yes, this might be
:18:14. > :18:19.a bit of an issue. They were some of the hundreds
:18:20. > :18:22.of students working on their own And they weren't shying away
:18:23. > :18:32.from any of the issues. We have pupils from Lithuania,
:18:33. > :18:34.Portugal, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, And that's why Brexit
:18:35. > :18:38.has got so many of us Almost one in three GCSEs taken last
:18:39. > :18:43.year were in STEM subjects like science and maths according
:18:44. > :18:45.to the Joint Council But what about students
:18:46. > :18:51.who feel their strengths lie Cyber bullying is a
:18:52. > :18:57.seriously scary issue. But the question remains, do young

:20:15. > :20:18.feel nervous but I'm OK right now. You have made a lot of sacrifices,
:20:19. > :20:23.you have moved out to America to train, how has it benefited you? Has

:20:57. > :21:00.is no feeling towards it. Is there added pressure on you to win in

:21:04. > :21:06.every single fight night but I'm just a keyboard to getting in there
:21:07. > :21:11.and putting a performance on the stock that is all I have got to do.
:21:12. > :21:16.-- I'm just looking forward to getting in there. If I can control
:21:17. > :21:20.my performance, you know, I'm happy. Thank you, Michael. We will have
:21:21. > :21:22.more fight build-up on tomorrow's programme.

:21:41. > :21:50.From the outset, Ireland versus England was a marked as being the
:21:51. > :21:54.championship decider but after Ireland's defeat to Wales last
:21:55. > :21:58.weekend, the side will be playing not just for pride on Saturday but a
:21:59. > :22:04.win would guarantee a place amongst the top seeds for the 2019 World
:22:05. > :22:07.Cup. The top four ranking would be really aborted for us. We could
:22:08. > :22:14.still potentially end up in a really difficult pool. -- would be really
:22:15. > :22:19.important for us. If you finish in the top four you could finish with a
:22:20. > :22:23.big team from five to eight. The motivation for us is very much on
:22:24. > :22:27.can we get a performance that can allow us to get in the top half of
:22:28. > :22:32.the championship because we need a win to do that we have got to roll
:22:33. > :22:36.our sleeves up and try and achieve that. There is also a chance to deny
:22:37. > :22:40.England a successive grand slam and prevent Eddie Jones's side from
:22:41. > :22:42.winning a world record 19 games in a row. Motivation should not be a
:22:43. > :22:49.problem on Saturday. Jockey Ruby Walsh and trainer

:22:52. > :22:54.of the Cheltenham Festival of Racing with four winners including
:22:55. > :22:56.in the Sun Bets Stayers' Hurdle where Walsh conjured an irresistible
:22:57. > :22:58.run from Nichols Canyon. The 10-1 winner finishing

:23:02. > :23:19.opening round at the Arnold Palmer A's level par after five macro
:23:20. > :23:20.holes. Five shots off the early lead.
:23:21. > :23:22.Meanwhile he has continued his criticism of Muirfield

:23:46. > :23:54.of the Sperrins are the current All-Ireland Camogie Champions
:23:55. > :23:56.and uniquely also hold provincial Mark Sidebottom has spent a day
:23:57. > :24:10.with the record breakers. Slaughtneil a place apart. Home to
:24:11. > :24:15.award-winning architects, award-winning schools and above all,
:24:16. > :24:22.award-winning sports men and women. I've come to the cultural centre
:24:23. > :24:25.here to take the collective pulse of these people. This evening the cast
:24:26. > :24:29.of Charlie and the chocolate factory, which has just been
:24:30. > :24:36.performed upstairs in Irish, is mingling post-show. Earlier, the
:24:37. > :24:38.current and former club chairman arrive with this season's
:24:39. > :24:44.substantial hole of silverware. You are now in your eighth decade. Did
:24:45. > :24:50.you think you would ever see this day, this success? Never, no, I
:24:51. > :25:00.didn't. I didn't think we could ever do it. I never woman who must be
:25:01. > :25:07.nearly 90 and she is as much as we are, Slaughtneil always had a thing,
:25:08. > :25:11.very close knit. Strengthening and perpetuating their sense of place
:25:12. > :25:17.and belonging, these people draw their heroes, sporting and cultural,
:25:18. > :25:21.from within their own community. He is such a great leader, he never
:25:22. > :25:26.gives up, he is always there when you need him. My favourite is
:25:27. > :25:32.Brendan Rodgers. His great at Irish dancing as well is that for! She is
:25:33. > :25:38.a good Irish beaker and role model. It has all happened so quickly. It
:25:39. > :25:42.has been hard to take in. We haven't realised how big the success has
:25:43. > :25:47.been until we have finished playing. It is hard to try and take in at
:25:48. > :25:50.this moment in time. It is a fairy tale made real with just one final
:25:51. > :26:04.chapter yet to be written. All the action tomorrow on one of
:26:05. > :26:05.the busiest days of sport, St Patrick's Day.
:26:06. > :26:08.Now let's get the weather with Geoff.
:26:09. > :26:16.That is a fine looking frog you have for us there! I figured he could
:26:17. > :26:20.talk he would say rubbish! I'm afraid that our weather is going
:26:21. > :26:23.firmly downhill. That process started today. We had our warmest
:26:24. > :26:28.temperatures this morning, then the rain came through to introduce some
:26:29. > :26:33.cooler air so we ended the day in the mid single figures. With clear
:26:34. > :26:36.skies, the sun going down, the temperatures dropping away. Showers
:26:37. > :26:41.working their way in. Some of those could turn wintry over the hills,
:26:42. > :26:45.some sleet here or there. Maybe some patches of ice on untreated roads.
:26:46. > :26:49.St Patrick's Day is frankly going to be a bit rubbish. You will wake up
:26:50. > :26:55.tomorrow morning to rain working its way in from the west on a freshening
:26:56. > :27:01.westerly Ariz. Top temperatures ten or 11 Celsius. Not that you are
:27:02. > :27:05.going to feel that under the cloud and rain. The best chance for any
:27:06. > :27:08.breaks comes from the east half of Northern Ireland. The further west,
:27:09. > :27:13.the wet it gets. It is really not very nice day at all. As we go
:27:14. > :27:17.through the evening and overnight that rain is going to continue.
:27:18. > :27:21.Cloud cover at night means that the temperatures stay pretty mild. Very
:27:22. > :27:24.little difference between the daytime and night-time temperatures.
:27:25. > :27:29.Looking ahead to the weekend, more wet and windy weather on the way.
:27:30. > :27:34.Saturday starts off with rain working its way in from the west. It
:27:35. > :27:39.is still quite breezy. I don't think it will feel very nice at all. On
:27:40. > :27:43.Sunday, at least the hint of a slight improvement because while we
:27:44. > :27:47.start with the rain it is going to be writing up. I'm afraid I can't
:27:48. > :27:50.offer you anything better than that. The outlook for the next few days is
:27:51. > :27:53.really not very good. You can also keep in contact with us
:27:54. > :27:56.via Facebook and Twitter.
