EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you five things you need to know before you head out the door…
1. #BRAWL: Gardaí have appealed for witnesses after a brawl at the Forty Foot swimming area in Sandycove, Dublin left five people in hospital. One local TD has warned of “gangs” travelling along the area’s Dart line.
2. #CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL: Proposals for a nine-storey National Children’s Hospital at the St James’s site in Dublin city centre have been revealed today. The plans would cost just over €600million.
3. #INVESTMENT: The world’s best-performing financial asset over the past year? That would be Irish government bonds.
4. #DEATH: The body of a 21-year-old DCU student has been found in a hotel room in Tokyo. The circumstances surrounding the death of Nicola Furlong, who had attended a Nicki Minaj concert on Wednesday night, are not clear.
5. #PRANKS: Kidnappings, raves and the Garda helicopter – all in a day’s work for your average Leaving Cert student, right? We’ve been looking at this year’s crop of school pranks that may have gone a little too far.

No doubt started by one of the local scrotes.
@Eric: Really? Well then there’s no need for forensic fire iinvestigators any more is there? You must be a real asset to the DFB with you psychic powers of deduction!
@liam whelan: not much deduction required when you live nearby and you see the mobs of skangers starting fires and attacking fire engines.
I hope theres no homeless person(s) after taking shelter in the building. Also that all the emergency crews are safe.
Hmmm.. a protected/listed building goes up in flames, suspiciously.
Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it “has to be knocked” and lo and behold shiny a new apartment block will miraculously take its place.
Feel sorry for anyone local with breathing difficulties.
I wonder?????????
Formerly the home of Jerry Beades concrete of the land league…..i wonder…..
@TonyF: we don’t have listed buildings in Ireland – that’s a UK phenomenon
@TonyF: Technically, there is no such thing as a listed building in Ireland.
