EVERY DAY, TheJournal.ie brings you a round-up of all the day’s news as well as the bits and pieces that you may have missed.

• A blog claiming to represent Catholic lawyers is claiming that a file is being prepared for the DPP after a number of complaints about a ‘blasphemous’ exhibition at University College Cork. The validity of the claims have yet to be verified but it is an issue which has seen protests coming from both sides.
• The justice minister Alan Shatter has questioned the need for the aid flotilla sailing to Gaza this week, with 25 Irish people on board the MV Saoirse. He says he sees it as more of a political protest.
• Doctors in Cork are awaiting the results of a postmortem on the body of a man who died last week from a suspected case of CJD. A variant of the illness is what causes ‘mad cow disease’.
• Two men were arrested in Louth after Garda found bomb-making equipment during a planned investigation into dissident activity. The Army Bomb Disposal Unit was called to the scene.

• There were not such joyous scenes in Russia however, as 14 gay rights activists were arrested for partaking in an unauthorised equality rally.
• U2 took to the main stage at Glastonbury last night as scuffles broke out in the crowd as protesters attempted to inflate a giant balloon aimed at pointing out U2′s -tax-dodging’ status.

• German and British tabloids have gone head to head in a war of the stereotypes after it was revealed that up to half of all British people carry a German gene.
