No Cobwebs in the Castle

Mark Devenport | 14:56 UK time, Friday, 31 October 2008

Hello all. It's Mark back at the blog. Thanks Martina and sorry RJ.

After my Halloween holiday it's back to the more frightening events of working life. This morning I made my way inside a spooky looking castle which should be full of cobwebs given that nothing has happened there since the summer.

But no, the cleaners are still working at Stormont Castle and there wasn't a spider's web to be seen. And when the First Minister came to join me he didn't look especially wraith-like. You can hear his views on the last minute alterations to Sunday's homecoming parade and whether the Stormont deadlock might lead to an early election on Inside Politics tomorrow at 12.45pm on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio Ulster.

If you can't wait for that, though, the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ NI News website will be webcasting the DUP conference in Armagh tomorrow from 11am until 4.30pm. The coverage, including the new leader's speech, will be carried on ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳2 from 11.45am until 1.10pm. This is the first time the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ has covered one of the local party conferences live in this way. I shall be joining Jim Fitzpatrick in Armagh for our conference programme.

On Sunday the Politics Show will have more on both the DUP Conference and the Army Homecoming Parade in Belfast. Will the withdrawal of the RAF fly past and Sinn Fein's re-location of their counter protest prove enough to take the heat out of the situation?
