Here are the things we learned, loved and shared today.
THINGS WE LEARNED
#DEATH: A woman in her 50s has died following a road traffic incident on Abbey Street in Dublin’s city centre today. A man was also injured when they were both struck by a car shortly before 1pm near the Jervis Luas stop.
#EUROLEAKS: A draft Troika report has revealed exactly what Ireland’s bailout partners want the government to do as part of the final year of the programme. The documents seen by TheJournal.ie show:
#SAVILE: British police have published a report detailing the extent of the “unprecedented abuse” carried out by the late television presenter Jimmy Savile. Giving Victims a Voice highlights more than 200 sex crimes, including 34 rapes.
#RAPE: Statistics released today show that 90 girls and women became pregnant as a result of rape in 2011. The Rape Crisis Network said that 17 of the women terminated the pregnancy.
#SUICIDE: Dublin radio station FM104 has praised the way its staff handled a live call from a listener who threatened to jump from a bridge in Loughlinstown, Dublin last night.
#MOST WATCHED: Unsurprisingly, the Late Late Toy Show was the most viewed television show in Ireland last year. See what else made the Top 20 here.
