3. #DUBLIN BUS Politicians must act on the latest assault on public transport and provide dedicated transport police before “something even more serious happens”, according to the union for bus and rail. 

4. #DÁIL DECLARATIONS Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said that he has “full confidence” in junior Minister Robert Troy, who has come under scrutiny after he did not declare the sale of a property on the Dáil’s list of declared interests.
