Every morning, TheJournal.ie brings you the nine stories you need to know a little before 9am.

1. #GARTH BROOKS Refunds for Garth Brooks tickets are scheduled to begin today through Ticketmaster. A last-ditch attempt to save the gigs failed last night, when Dublin City Council refused to allow Aiken Promotions an uncontested High Court review.

2. #SOCIAL WELFARE There is no evidence that a disproportionately high number of migrants receive social welfare in Ireland, an ESRI report says. It found that there is “no consistent pattern of over representation of migrants” receiving social welfare.

3. #ISRAEL A temporary ceasefire between Hamas and Israel is due to come into effect this morning, after four Palestinian children were killed on a beach by an Israeli strike. The halt in hostilities is on humanitarian grounds and was requested by the UN.

4. #EDUCATION Hundreds of teachers won’t be trained for the new English curriculum in the Junior Cycle course by September. The news has prompted renewed calls for a delay in the implementation of the new curriculum.

5. #ON THE RUN The findings of an inquiry into secret letters about “on-the-runs” are due to be published today. After the collapse of the trial of a man suspected of the 1982 IRA Hyde Park bombing, the scheme was made public.

6. #DANGEROUS BMW is recalling 1.6m Series cars worldwide so that it can fix an airbag problem. It said that the affected cars were built between May 2009 and August 2006 and the measure was precautionary.

7. #ANGLO TAPES New Anglo Tapes have been revealed in the Irish Independent today. The tapes show David Drumm speaking to a fellow senior bank executive about ‘burning’ bondholders and morality.

8. #INQUEST A widower described an inquest into his wife’s death as a “cover up”, the Irish Times reports. The outburst from Michael Kivlehan came as he and his family said they were “stunned” at the coroner’s “restrictive” approach to witnesses in the inquest into Dhara Kivlehan’s death after childbirth.

9. #COURTS A teacher in his 20s has been jailed for having sex with a pupil aged 14. The Donegal man had no previous convictions and was sentenced to two years for each of two charges, to be served concurrently, says the Examiner.
