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