EVERY MORNING, TheJournal.ie brings you the stories you need to know as you wake up.
1. #MISSING The massive search for the EgyptAir plane, presumed crashed, continues in the Mediterranean today after the airline confirmed that debris found yesterday was not part of its aircraft. It is still not known what caused the tragedy but terrorism is suspected.

3. #STRIKE TWO The new Education Minister has warned that schools could close if teachers go ahead with industrial action which would see them stop working their ‘Croke Park extra hours’.
4. #SEE YA Seán Quinn has left his position at Quinn Industrial Holdings (QIHL) – the company that took over some of the operations of the former Quinn Group. He’ll still be able to visit though as he’s negotiated to retain access to his own office.

8. #POTUS The latest poll from CBS News and the New York Times shows that the gap between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is narrowing. She’s still six points ahead though.
9. #POWER OUTAGE It looks like Alan Kelly will fail in his bid to become Labour leader today with no fellow TD willing to nominate him for a contest. Brendan Howlin is now expected to take the top post.
