HERE ARE THE things we learned, loved and shared today as we round off the day in three easy steps.

THINGS WE LEARNED:

#NEW DELIVERY: The country’s busiest maternity hospital is moving. The National Maternity Hospital will move to the same campus as St Vincent’s University Hospital, at Elm Park in Dublin 4, in a €150 million move. The Department of Health says the existing building would need €25 million in emergency works to maintain and that the Holles St facility – some of which dates from the 1700s – is already running over capacity.

#DEAN FITZPATRICK: Gardaí have released a man who had been arrested in connection with the fatal stabbing of Dean Fitzpatrick on Saturday night. The man was released without charge, and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions. Fitzpatrick is the brother of Amy Fitzpatrick, the 15-year-old who went missing in Spain five years ago.

#PUBLIC SECTOR: The Dáil is due to begin debating public pay cuts tomorrow evening – but one trade union says the legislation to cut some pay might be unconstitutional. The Irish Federation of University Teachers says the proposed public sector deal excludes non-union staff – and treats non-union workers in the same way as anyone who planned to vote against the Haddington Road pay deal.

#SYRIA: The European Union’s foreign ministers are continuing marathon talks in Brussels, hoping to reach agreement on whether to extend an arms embargo against Syria or whether to lift the embargo and arm the rebels. Ministers will reconvene for more talks tonight, while the current embargo

#BANKRUPTCY: Figures provided by Britain’s Insolvency Service show that 134 people with Irish addresses, or who hold Irish citizenship, have filed for bankruptcy in England and Wales in the last five years. 118 have filed in the last three years – in a period where only 97 people have been declared bankrupt within Ireland.

#EXTRA, EXTRA: The volume of complaints to the Press Ombudsman rose by two-thirds last year, according to data out today. Most of the increase was as a result of two particular articles, which between them attracted 250 complaints. One of them was the ‘Magda’ article, which attracted 161 complaints alone.

THINGS WE LOVED:

• This is sort of brilliant, in a saddening kind of way. Ever wonder how much food your family eats in a week – and how that compares to families in other parts of the world?
• Is there anything mathematics can’t solve? (Rhetorical question.) Boffins at the University of Sheffield claim to have figured out the best way to prepare a scone – ending what appeared to be a decades-old dispute about whether cream or jam should be put on first.
• Check out this gorgeous timelapse video of Dublin’s coastline from filmmaker Kevin Barry. Wow.

THINGS WE SHARED:

• So nobody really likes cockroaches, right? Well, now they’re getting even more difficult to get rid of. TIME explains that a new breed of cockroaches are being turned off glucose – which is bad news, given that most roach traps use sugar as the key ingredient…
• The technological revolution of the internet has changed the way that most of us interact with each other. But here’s an impact you might have not have been aware of: there’s a generation of teenagers in the United States who actually don’t know how to post a letter.
• This short film by Simon Eustace, set to a poem by Emily Dickinson, narrated by Edel Quinn, dealing with the idea of being lost. Shot beautifully in Dublin and Bray. Enjoy…
