2. #GOAL: John O’Shea is to step down from his role as chief executive of the aid organisation GOAL after the settlement of his High Court action, according to RTÉ. The action was aimed at stopping the board of GOAL from suspending him or removing him from his position.
3. #GCHAT: If you’re a Google user did you notice Gchat was down today? You weren’t alone. Google’s latest update states however that the service should be restored, while now it seems like it’s Twitter’s turn to have problems.
