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

1. #INDUSTRIAL ACTION: Striking National Ambulance Service workers are “prepared for the long haul”, a paramedic on a Dublin picket line has said.

2. #STARMER: A number of Keir Starmer’s cabinet ministers have told the media that they are backing him following a crunch meeting this morning at which Labour leader said he was going to get on with governing. 

3. #CLIMATE: President Catherine Connolly has criticised the degradation of Irish rivers in her first major speech on climate change and the environment.

4. #BALLYMUN: Four homes were damaged overnight in Ballymun in an incident which has been described by a local councillor as “shocking but not surprising”.

5. #DEFENCE FORCES: Recruitment in the Irish Defence Forces has stayed static as the military struggles to overcome years of underinvestment, one of the country’s military representative groups has said.
