Every afternoon, TheJournal.ie brings you 5 things you really need to know by 5pm.

1. # COUNTMEOUT.IE: The Catholic church defection website CountMeOut.ie, which helps members of the Catholic Church in Ireland to formally defect, has suspended its services amid confusion as to whether Irish church authorities now acknowledge defections at all.

An amendment to the church’s Canon Law was made by Pope Benedict earlier this year, which removed any reference to the practice of defection.

2. # AER ARANN: The airline has signed a five-year deal with UK transport group Stobart, which will see the troubled airline emerge from examinership.

The British investor will invest €2.5m in Aer Arann and is also expected to keep the existing management team in place. It is understood that Padraig O’Ceidigh, the managing director of Aer Arann, will remain as the airline’s majority shareholder.

3. # QUINN INSURANCE: The administrators currently attempting to find a buyer for Quinn Insurance Ltd have refused to publish a shortlist of the bidders interested in taking on the troubled insurer.

The reason given is that the naming of the interested parties could “adversely affect” the chances of the sale going through.

4. # AUSTRALIA: The Prime Minister of Australia has confirmed that she will back the installation of a controversial internet filter, designed to block access to certain material online.

The controversial plan would see internet service providers (ISPs) blocking access to images and material relating to rape, drug use, bestiality, detailed instruction in crime, child sex abuse, and material that advocates terrorism.

Critics have likened the plan to internet censorship imposed by countries such such as China, Iran and Saudi Arabia.

5. #DING DING! JACKPOT! It’s been reported that a man who streaked naked at a political rally in the US on Sunday could be rewarded with $1m.

The stunt by Juan Rodriguez of Staten Island, New York - which took place in full view of US President Barack Obama – was reportedly the brain-child of billionaire and website-owner Alki David.

David reportedly offers cash for outrageous stunts to promote his website. His ultimate challenge was for a person to be noticed by the president – and close enough that Obama could hear him shout the website’s name six times.

If he is considered successful, Rodriguez has said he will share the money with four other people, including his girlfriend.
