EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you five things you need to know before you head out the door…

1. #BRAWL: Gardaí have appealed for witnesses after a brawl at the Forty Foot swimming area in Sandycove, Dublin left five people in hospital. One local TD has warned of “gangs” travelling along the area’s Dart line.

2. #CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL: Proposals for a nine-storey National Children’s Hospital at the St James’s site in Dublin city centre have been revealed today. The plans would cost just over €600million.

3. #INVESTMENT: The world’s best-performing financial asset over the past year? That would be Irish government bonds.

4. #DEATH: The body of a 21-year-old DCU student has been found in a hotel room in Tokyo. The circumstances surrounding the death of Nicola Furlong, who had attended a Nicki Minaj concert on Wednesday night, are not clear.

5. #PRANKS: Kidnappings, raves and the Garda helicopter – all in a day’s work for your average Leaving Cert student, right? We’ve been looking at this year’s crop of school pranks that may have gone a little too far.

  • If these gangs, were sent to Military Boot Camps and given a work over or have their Dole cut off? You’ll have a different attitude, either hit them in the pocket or make them do severe military type boot camps and community service. That goes for all people involved in crime, except for serious crime!

    No issues with Duck Duck and the rave, but tying kids up and dumping them? Maybe it was on the context of a bit of fun, but sounds close to bullying.
