Lunchtime Fix: 7 things to know
Catch up as you refuel.
WHAT’S THE STORY?
1. HURRAH – the ESRI is having some sort of feelgood Friday moment, saying that €2 billion of Budget cuts can be avoided. If economic growth continues, that is. Oh.
2. ON the other hand, if you’re trying to buy a gaff in Dublin, you might not be pleased to read the report from Merrion Stockbrokers which estimates property prices there will climb by 10 per cent this year - and start to climb in the rest of the country too.
3. WELL well well. Remember those letters about the recapitalisation of Bank of Ireland that went missing (we reported about it here)? The Department of Finance couldn’t find them – now, it seems, neither can the Bank of Ireland.
4. YOU heard the one about the CEO and the coffins business, right? That mysterious tale is explained here – and for the highlights (?) of yesterday’s hearing of Rehab at the Public Accounts Committee, click here.
5. SEAMUS Daly of Culloville in Monaghan, 43 years of age, appeared in court today in connection with the murders of 29 people who died in the Omagh bombing in 1998. He will appear again in May.
6. Australia is “very confident” it has found the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370′s black box signals. But getting the plane itself is another matter entirely, this piece explains.
7. THE wonderful author Sue Townsend passed away last night and today our pals at DailyEdge.ie have been remembering her most brilliant creation, Adrian Mole.
