GOOD EVENING

The 5 at 5 5 minutes, 5 stories, 5 o’clock…

EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you the five stories you need to know as you head home.

1. #WATER The minister responsible for the running of Irish Water, Alan Kelly, has refused to rule out that Revenue could be used to chase up people who are refusing to pay water charges.

2. #BAILEY A jury of eight men and four women has been sworn in as Ian Bailey begins his civil action against the State for wrongful arrest. The journalist’s legal team will outline his case tomorrow morning.

3. #INAPPROPRIATE? There was an odd exchange between Gerry Adams and TV3′s Ursula Halligan at Leinster House today, on the subject of Tweets by the Sinn Féin leader.

4. #MID-TERMS It’s D-Day for Barack Obama in the US, as Americans vote in mid-term elections.

5. #LOVE/HATE And someone’s apparently selling Nidge’s watch on the internet. Get your bids in here.
