It has to be that man, the coach, Eddie Jones, about to win the Six

Good evening. Nations again

Detectives investigating the murder of Paul Gerard Curran in Lurgan have

been granted an additional 36 hours to question three people.

The 29-year-old's body was found at a house in Manor Drive

Two men and a woman, who are all aged in their 30s,

Teachers are warning of further strike action if politicians fail

to address issues over pay and school budgets.

The NASUWT says political institutions here must be restored,

otherwise more industrial action is planned.

Teachers gathered for their annual conference, still smarting over a 1%

pay increase and determined to continue industrial action over

salaries, pensions and the growing workload. They are concerned about

the impact of funding cuts on education. He would be one of our

main issues along with school budgets, school resource budgets

which have been cut to the bone. We have larger class sizes, less money

available for books, resources and money has been taken away from

special needs. Education really is in crisis. The food might look

appetising but many schools are hungry for more money and teachers

feel short-changed over pay. The union says that while government

money has been wasted on the RHI scheme, politicians are guilty of

penny-pinching when it comes to education. More strikes by teachers

could follow. The 27th of March we see as D-Day for education here. If

devolution is not restored, we are heading for disaster. We are

considering our options during this period. We are not going to go on

strike before date, but we are keeping it in reserve. While

teachers contemplate further strikes, the former minister, Peter

Weir, is warned schools would need to find an extra ?250 million over

the next three years just to stand still.

It happened during a party at a flat shortly after midnight

The victim was wounded in the chest and back and is in a stable

A suspect was followed by a number of people after he left the party

and he was arrested by police a short distance away.

Sinn Fein have again warned that they will not be part

of an Executive with Arlene Foster as First Minister.

Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill was speaking after a party

She is the leader of the DUP so we will work with with the issues. Our

only issue is in terms of forming an Executive. She could not put herself

forward for the position of first Deputy First Minister while this

cloud is over. We have big issues to deal with. We are in a critical

period but we are working with all the parties. We believe in the

institutions, we believe in good governance, but we have to find our

way through those issues. Rugby, and Ireland will be hoping

to recover some pride in their last Six Nations game against England

in Dublin next Saturday. Last night they went

down to Wales by 22-9. As expected, it was a noisy,

physical battle. Jonathan Sexton kicked Ireland ahead, but after a

quiet opening the Welsh should the clinical edge with George North

citing his way through the Irish defence to touch down. Towards the

end of the first-half yellow card for Jonathan Sexton give the Welsh

the initiative to score ten points in the ten minutes that he was off.

North should pace, power and precision to drop down his and

wheels's second second try of the night. Ireland script their way back

into contention fired the boot of Sexton and wave after wave of Irish

attacking play helped Joe Schmidt's site eventually crossed the line,

but a rush of blood from Robbie Henshaw the wheels off the hook as

the Irish conceded a penalty. Those are the ones that Robbie comes in to

head, hoping to give a bit of momentum to get this across the line

because we are in a good position. The physical encounters are so

either way, but being on the wrong side of the scoreline hurts.

Ireland's woes were compose -- compounded after the end of a signal

to our of winning a 36 Nations title in four years. Next they host

England, where they will be playing for pride and not a trophy.

It has been a nice man sought to the week. The worst and best of the

sunshine, but tomorrow is looking like a day. Mostly dry this evening.

The odd spot of drizzle and some mist toward the east coast. It is

after midnight before the next rain comes in. It shouldn't be too heavy

and it was the man tonight. Some will linger into Sunday morning

across eastern counties. It shouldn't be too long before it

brightens up, mainly because there will be a noticeable breeze from the

West which will push the rain away and bring the sun off. They the odd

shower but most places will have a fine morning. A lovely day in many

parts of the Republic. One or two showers. Cloudy in Central and

eastern Britain. Not as warm as today and some rain. The West with

the best of the brightness. A nice afternoon in many places for

Northern Ireland. One or two showers. Temperatures up to 14

degrees of Belfast and County Down. Fresher in the West because of the

breeze. As we move into the new week it will be a dry start to the week.

The little rain later in the day. The rain is light and breezy. It

could get killed by the end of the week. Staging for St Patrick's Day

forecast. That's it from us until

17:50 tomorrow evening. You can keep up to date with local
