:01:25. > :01:27.In last year's Assembly elections, it was the smaller parties

:01:28. > :01:30.who made most gains, but how do they rate their chances this time?

:01:46. > :01:51.things I have been saying over the past couple of weeks. Eamon McCann

:01:52. > :01:56.waited 46 years to get elected and now he is back fighting to keep his

:01:57. > :02:04.seat. He was the big winner last May along with his colleague and people

:02:05. > :02:08.before profit secured two seats. Given the circumstances, relative to

:02:09. > :02:13.our size, we made an enormous impact on Stormont. We made the biggest

:02:14. > :02:17.impact probably on Stormont over the last seven months. Having just

:02:18. > :02:21.arrived there and we provided a left-wing voice. The other parties

:02:22. > :02:28.were looking over their shoulders at us. The Green Party also increased

:02:29. > :02:34.their size, adding an extra seat and sending hundreds in all 18

:02:35. > :02:38.constituents. Once again, the Bulls are predicting our vote will go up

:02:39. > :02:43.further. We don't want the selection and I don't think Northern Ireland

:02:44. > :02:50.wanted it. The momentum is with us and for us as a party, good time to

:02:51. > :02:54.be having an election. The TUV reader and only outgoing MLE was

:02:55. > :02:58.disappointed with his party baulk performance last time. He says the

:02:59. > :03:02.climate is no very different. People go for the same again, it is more of

:03:03. > :03:08.the same. You do get what you bought for. If you go for a shambles and

:03:09. > :03:13.squander, you will get the same again. And what you say to people

:03:14. > :03:18.who think voting for smaller parties has no impact on Stormont? I think

:03:19. > :03:23.the smaller parties have stood out at those making a difference at

:03:24. > :03:26.Stormont, kneeling the issues, not bind the door in exposing the

:03:27. > :03:32.squander and shambles of Stormont. They may have bucked the trend last

:03:33. > :03:35.time, but all the others last round. The smaller parties know this will

:03:36. > :03:38.be a very different battle on March the 2nd, that's because there are 18

:03:39. > :03:42.few receipts to go around. There was a protest

:03:43. > :03:44.by the Workers Party outside Party members say they wanted

:03:45. > :03:48.to highlight what they believe is a lack of coverage given

:03:49. > :03:50.to smaller parties during Sport and there'll be no hat-trick

:03:51. > :03:55.of all Ireland finals for Slaughtneil this year,

:03:56. > :03:57.after the club's hurlers were beaten The side were attempting to match

:03:58. > :04:12.their football and camogie teams. It was one game too many for the

:04:13. > :04:16.mighty men. The great juggernaut has been halted. Temporarily. They do

:04:17. > :04:21.march on to another club that final. They came up significantly short

:04:22. > :04:26.here this afternoon. Trailing by 13 points at the break to a very

:04:27. > :04:30.impressive Dublin champions. That would be in the margin by the time

:04:31. > :04:34.the final whistle went. They did put up some resistance in the second

:04:35. > :04:41.half. They did find an end, but ultimately, could not find their

:04:42. > :04:47.true moment on. The final score two goals in 11, three - 21. They go

:04:48. > :04:48.through to the all Ireland club final answer Patrick's Day.

:04:58. > :04:58.Rea is trying win the World Championship

:04:59. > :05:15.He is the only guy that won it and pushed the raced forward. Nobody

:05:16. > :05:19.wanted to come through. I just made for it I was always looking in the

:05:20. > :05:25.front and if there was an attack coming, I could go. I major I was

:05:26. > :05:27.quite clever in the end. I've played a defence of last sector and managed
