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

1. #HUMAN RIGHTS BREACH The High Court ruled that the State is breaching human rights law by failing to house almost 3,000 people who have sought international protection in Ireland since last year.

2. #PARENT’S LEAVE Paid Parent’s Leave is being extended from today, increasing from seven weeks to nine.

3. #OLYMPICS Daire Lynch and Philip Doyle won a Bronze medal for rowing in this morning’s men’s Double Sculls final.

4. #ARMAGH The PSNI officer who waved an Armagh flag from a policy vehicle to celebrate the county’s victory in the All-Ireland final will not be suspended or dismissed.

5. #RTÉ The Data Protection Commission has blocked RTÉ from publishing the names of workers who have earned extra money from freelance work outside of their contracts with the state entity.

    Parking legally usually sorts that one out.

    Beware the InApp purchases particularly if you have kids playing with the iphone or ipad!

    Best of luck to all the brave start-ups across Ireland (we’re gonna need it)!

    If you are on LinkedIn we’re a new start up for businesses looking to reduce their energy costs (http://www.linkedin.com/company/energyelephant-com).

    On the finance side, we’ve learned the hard way that the best way to raise finance is to find paying customers. It is easier and less time consuming than any of the grant processes which to be honest are almost a waste of your time and effort unless you have no other options.
