GOOD EVENING

The 5 at 5 5 minutes, 5 stories, 5 o’clock…

EACH WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you five things you should know before you head out the door…

1. #BAILOUT Ireland remains on track to exit the bailout, the IMF mission chief said today following the country’s final review. Taoiseach Enda Kenny said that the credit for the exit goes to the people, and that there is a sense “we’ve come through a very difficult period”.

2. #CORK The body of an elderly man was found in a house in Cork today. The scene has been sealed off at Knockgorm in Cloyne, and the office of the State Pathologist has been notified. A post-mortem is due to take place.

3. #MARRIAGE The first poll since the announcement of a same-sex marriage referendum has found that 76 per cent of likely voters support the introduction of same-sex marriage into the Constitution. The Red C poll for Paddy Power showed Fianna Fáil supporters are most likely to oppose same-sex marriage.

4. #WATER Water restrictions in Dublin are to be lifted from tonight, but water pressure will remain low in the evenings over the coming weeks. Dublin City Council thanked customers for their patience during the water restrictions.

5. #IDENTIFIED The young Australian woman found by gardaí in a ‘distressed’ state near the GPO in Dublin a month ago has been moved to the adult mental health care section of the HSE. In the High Court this morning, the representative for her guardian ad litem said she “remains very concerned” about her.
