The 5 at 5 Five minutes, five stories, five o’clock…
EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, The Journal brings you five of the biggest stories of the day.
1. #RTÉ: Media minister Patrick O’Donovan has voiced his anger at only being informed on Thursday about yet another salary issue at RTÉ.
2. #WEATHER: If you got soaked in one of the hailstorms on Thursday, and you’re thinking, why is this happening in May? The warmer weather we’ve been having is actually to blame.
3. #BAKHURST: RTÉ director general Kevin Bakhurst has defended paying a combined total of €97,000 to Claire Byrne and Ray D’Arcy after the duo stopped working for the broadcaster towards the end of year.
4. #EU PRESIDENCY: The owner of a café at Dublin Castle that’s been forced to shut down for the six months of the EU presidency said he’s “furious” the decision was made without engagement with the café.
5. #EUROVISION: What’s the atmosphere like at Eurovision? Odd, fraught – but less intense than recent years.
