EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, The Journal brings you five of the biggest stories of the day.

2. #LONDON: Gerry Adams was “directly responsible for and complicit” in the decisions made by the IRA to detonate bombs in England, the High Court in London has heard.

3. #CANCELLED: A number of ferries between Dublin and Holyhead in Wales have been cancelled or delayed due to “extraordinary circumstances”.

4. #ZIPPAY: A new mobile payment service designed to make sending money between bank accounts easier (essentially a rival of Revolut) is beginning to roll out to Irish banking customers this week.
