EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you five stories that you really should read before you head home…
1. #NYBERG REPORT: The inquiry into the governance of the Irish banking sector has found that the low standard of risk management in banks, the “speculative” behaviour of Irish buyers, and the “insufficient” warnings by the Irish authorities about a property bubble created our banking crash. You can read the full report here – suffice to say, the author Peter Nyberg doesn’t believe the Irish crash was fundamentally caused by international factors.
2. #DIVING TRAGEDY: An Irish woman has died on an introductory scuba diving course in Australia. Her body has been recovered and the Department of Foreign Affairs is offering assistance to her family, believed to be from Donegal.
3. #HOWZAT? The Irish cricket team may not be entirely out of the running at the 2015 Cricket World Cup – the International Cricket Council has said today that it will reconsider its decision to exclude the associate nations from the CWC.
4. #BARCELONA: One of the world’s most famous churches, Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia creation in Barcelona, Spain, was the scene of a small fire today and hundreds of tourists were evacuated. It is believed an arsonist was at work.
5. #OTTERLY BIZARRE: Think little furry otters are cute? Check out our slideshow of action shots from photographer Arthur Ellis who snapped a rather irate otter chase townspeople in a Co Clare town as they tried to return him to his natural lake habitat.
