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 before you head out the door.

1. #MENTAL HEALTH: A report into mental health services in Ireland has revealed a lack of appropriately-trained nurses and wards “not suitable for residents”. Most of the hospitals evaluated were found to be largely compliant with regulations, but several errors were highlighted.

2. #ROBBERY: A 44-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a robbery at a post office in Enfield, Co Meath last Friday. A 19-year-old man appeared in court last week in connection with the incident.

3. #COMPLAINTS: The incoming vice president of the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation told delegates at the union’s annual conference that ‘unfounded parental complaints’ were leading to an increased workload for teachers.

5. #HOW TO DO IT: Fine Gael has produced a video aimed at helping election candidates “get down to business quickly” when canvassing in the run up to 23 May.
