HERE ARE THE things you need to know as we round off the day in three easy steps.
THINGS WE LEARNED
#SHOOTINGS: In what is the third so-called gangland killing this week, a man in his 30s has been shot dead in Ballyfermot, Dublin. The victim – a convicted drug dealer – had known his life was in danger.
#CRIME: The news of the shooting came as the CSO revealed that crime rates in Ireland are falling – except when it comes to burglaries, kidnappings and fraud offences.
#EUROZONE PROBLEMS: Another week and another set of problems for eurozone countries. After a fresh round of stress tests, Spain has been told its banks may need a €60 billion bailout, while France’s president Francois Hollande unveiled the country’s toughest ever package of tax rises and spending cuts.
#TEENAGE FEUD: A London community is in shock today after a 14-year-old girl was arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of a teenage boy.
#iSORRY: CEO Tim Cook is determined to do everything to make Apple Maps better. But in the meantime, he’s given customers some alternative options.
#OM NOM NOM: There was some great news for two Irish restaurants today as they were awarded the much-coveted Michelin Stars for the first time, bringing Ireland’s list of celebrated restaurants to eight.
