NIPA - Birds are in Rosscarbery for the Old Cock and Old Hen Nationals. Early conditions are not good and no decision is to be made with further update at 11.00am. Still no decision, further update at 1.00pm. Conditions in South very good, Northern Ireland very poor. Forecast for tomorrow is the reverse, the hope is that NI clears up later today and birds can be released. In the last update at 1.00pm it was thought a liberation was possible at 1.30pm, this will be confirmed next time.

LIBERATION IS CONFIRMED at 1.30pm in an Easterly wind.
