:00:32. > :00:34.claim that the Irish government has tried to poach potential investors
:00:35. > :00:36.The DUP leader, Arlene Foster made the allegation during
:00:37. > :00:46.her party conference speech on Saturday.
:00:47. > :00:48.Arlene Foster's on fire said the post-conference song
:00:49. > :00:50.and she certainly was when it came to the issue
:00:51. > :00:54.I seek to take the views of the Northern Irish
:00:55. > :00:56.people on Brexit at home, their representatives are attempting
:00:57. > :01:07.to talk down our economy and poach investment.
:01:08. > :01:12.It's clear that the one place a hard border exists is in the mind of the
:01:13. > :01:15.Irish government. That came as a surprise to a man
:01:16. > :01:18.she didn't attack during her speech, I'd heard absolutely nothing
:01:19. > :01:20.about that and if that was
:01:21. > :01:23.happening, I would be shocked. From our perspective again,
:01:24. > :01:25.we need to deal with the reality The British government has created
:01:26. > :01:29.enormous problems for us to the Irish
:01:30. > :01:50.Foreign Affairs Minister, who telephoned the DUP economy
:01:51. > :01:52.minister to express his concern. We have to work together to ensure
:01:53. > :01:55.economic and social prosperity Irish government sources have
:01:56. > :01:59.described Arlene Foster's comments One person said to me,
:02:00. > :02:03.if they are to be said, we would prefer them to be
:02:04. > :02:06.said in a different way. Enda Kenny will be meeting
:02:07. > :02:09.Martin McGuinness later this week but he is not expected
:02:10. > :02:13.to meet Arlene Foster. She has said that she
:02:14. > :02:21.hopes to see him soon. The Department for Education
:02:22. > :02:25.has appointed an English academic to lead a formal process
:02:26. > :02:28.to find a single transfer test. The first of this year's five tests
:02:29. > :02:32.will be held next week. But, as our education correspondent
:02:33. > :02:36.Robbie Meredith reports, the Education Minister says
:02:37. > :02:38.he wants one common test will face up to five
:02:39. > :02:47.transfer tests in five weeks, That is because there are
:02:48. > :02:54.two separate testing systems The postprimary transfer
:02:55. > :03:04.consortium set two tests. The education minister says
:03:05. > :03:07.that is too many and wants The thing was to get
:03:08. > :03:15.something in place It is worthwhile trying
:03:16. > :03:23.to see what benefits there can be to ease
:03:24. > :03:26.the burden on children, He has appointed this man,
:03:27. > :03:35.Professor Peter Timms of Durham University,
:03:36. > :03:38.to try to turn two into one. The minister's latest move
:03:39. > :03:42.has been criticised. We've had no statement or notice,
:03:43. > :03:45.despite the minister attending This is further rejection
:03:46. > :03:58.of mounting evidence that links academic achievement
:03:59. > :04:08.and disadvantage. We have got to put together a test
:04:09. > :04:11.that is agreeable to both of us. To some extent are going to have
:04:12. > :04:14.to try late in some way. Provide past papers,
:04:15. > :04:20.given permission to schools. I think that is
:04:21. > :04:28.too tight a time schedule. I'm thinking of at least,
:04:29. > :04:31.and I stress at least, three years. There is disagreement over what form
:04:32. > :04:35.the selection tests should take. The education minister cannot
:04:36. > :04:38.compel them to change. He has to hope
:04:39. > :04:46.he can persuade them to. The police are investigating
