An inspection report handed to parents whose children attend a Dublin creche identified breaches of child-adult ratios yet marked the facility compliant. The HSE said this was an “administrative error”.
THE HOWTH COAST Guard Unit has been called out to investigate a report of a person gone into the water at Portmarnock Beach this evening.
A man was reportedly seen walking into the water at about 7pm today.
The witness saw the male walk into the sea and disappear, according to the Howth Coast Guard.
Coast Guard boats and a rescue helicopter have been deployed in the area. Members of the Gardaí are also at the scene. The Howth RNLI all-weather lifeboat was deployed and the RNLI branch provided on-scene co-ordination of the search area.

THE LEADER OF a Welsh political party has published a new draft law that would make deliberate lying by politicians a criminal offence.
Adam Price, leader of Welsh party Plaid Cymru, has published the Elected Representatives (Prohibition of Deception) Bill.
This proposed legislation would see elected politicians face criminal charges if they misled the public on purpose.
The bill says: “It shall be an offence for an elected representative acting in their capacity, or an agent acting on their behalf, to make or publish a statement they know to be misleading, false or deceptive in a material particular.”
So, today we’re asking: Would you back a law that makes it a crime for politicians to lie?
