2. #IRAN: Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said he ordered the US navy to fire on Iranian boats laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, threatening an already faltering ceasefire between the two countries.
3. #COST OF LIVING: Tánaiste Simon Harris has ruled out a “mini budget” to tackle the cost-of-living crisis and said it “makes sense” to “prioritise” certain sectors for an intervention.
4. #DUBLIN AIRPORT: A man has died after being struck by a shuttle bus at Dublin Airport early this morning.
5. #UKRAINE: The EU has given final approval to a €90 billion loan for Ukraine and a new round of sanctions on Russia, in a boost for Kyiv after a prolonged row.
