:01:48. > :01:55.be right, they said. We were up for going into the
:01:56. > :02:03.government in May, but we are not going to take scraps are not have
:02:04. > :02:07.any say in the programme. Things would need to change? Things would
:02:08. > :02:13.absolutely need to change. And the Alliance Party want
:02:14. > :02:21.commitments, as well. We are quite happy to sit in

:02:52. > :02:53.if they want opposition or government,
:02:54. > :02:56.and then there is the issue of who leads their party
:02:57. > :03:07.You would have a lot of work to do if you are taking over the reins
:03:08. > :03:10.from Mike Nesbitt. It was a very disappointing performance.
:03:11. > :03:13.I can't argue with coming back with ten seats.

:03:52. > :03:54.The woman was trapped for over an hour whilst rescue
:03:55. > :03:57.Remarkably, she is back at the scene this afternoon.
:03:58. > :04:01.In one piece, bar a sore leg, she checks on her kayak.
:04:02. > :04:11.I would have drowned if I haven't got my head above water at that
:04:12. > :04:15.sign. Initially it was just like -- hadn't got my head above water at
:04:16. > :04:19.that sign. It was only the force of the water which kept me up.
:04:20. > :04:22.The operation, which has been described as very difficult,
:04:23. > :04:24.involved all the emergency services and various rescue teams.
:04:25. > :04:29.Actually dealing with the incident in order to release her proved very
:04:30. > :04:36.difficult because in effect we had to get our people downstream of the
:04:37. > :04:37.canoe and we had to exert tremendous effort against the flow of water, to
:04:38. > :04:40.create some space. Believed to be on land,
:04:41. > :04:43.she says it will be awhile before Sport and Slaughtneil have won
:04:44. > :04:47.the All-Ireland Club Camogie Championship by beating Sarsfields

:05:07. > :05:13.Today she lifted the ultimate prize in her sport. In Slaughtneil there
:05:14. > :05:18.is no church in a restaurant, no pub, pretty much nothing, apart from
:05:19. > :05:24.they are the best GAA club in Ireland. With time running out on
:05:25. > :05:30.one point between them it was another one of those Cassady
:05:31. > :05:38.players, who struck this point over the bar. The whistle followed, and
:05:39. > :05:42.tomorrow this small place will be in many of the newspapers. The girls
:05:43. > :05:47.walked off the pitch today knowing they are the most accessible team in
:05:48. > :05:51.the history of the club -- the most successful.
:05:52. > :05:52.Let's get a look at the weather forecast
:05:53. > :06:00.Most of the showers were confined to the south-east and the many it was
:06:01. > :06:04.the better day of the weekend and tomorrow we get off to a dry start.
:06:05. > :06:12.It is going to be a changeable week, every day, it spells of rain coming
:06:13. > :06:16.in accompanied by brisk winds. The winds are staying like tonight,
:06:17. > :06:21.though. It will be dry inland with clear spells and quite cold, as
:06:22. > :06:24.well. Temperatures down to freezing, giving a slight frost and a few icy
:06:25. > :06:31.patches and maybe a few patches of fog. Tomorrow we have rain arriving,
:06:32. > :06:34.not until later on, though, and for most of us it is a bright and cold
:06:35. > :06:40.start and you might want to leave extra journey time because of the
:06:41. > :06:44.frost. Sunshine in the morning, sunshine and showers for many parts
:06:45. > :06:48.of the country, pushing into the East of Scotland, cloudy across the
:06:49. > :06:53.Republic and towards the south-west, the rain turning into showers and
:06:54. > :06:57.then we cast our eyes to the West with another batch of rain moving to
:06:58. > :07:05.the west of Ireland. Late in the opening. Also edging into Northern
:07:06. > :07:08.Ireland and temperatures will fall as the cloud gathers to bring rain
:07:09. > :07:14.and also hill snow possibly, as well. In the rest of the week, after
:07:15. > :07:19.blustery showers tomorrow night, Wednesday will turn drier for time
:07:20. > :07:20.but the next weather system is coming Thursday and once again wet
:07:21. > :07:27.and windy. From everyone on the programme,
:07:28. > :07:30.enjoy your evening.
