The 5 at 5 Five minutes, five stories, five o’clock…

EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you the five biggest stories of the day.

1. #RAIL STRIKE: The second of five planned strikes by Irish Rail staff is taking place today.

2. #LEINSTER HOUSE: Female politicians have said that while the Dáil is no Westminster, it is a boys’ club.

3. #SHOTS FIRED: Gardaí have arrested three men after a shotgun was fired during a Garda pursuit.

4. #POPPY: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar was seen sporting a “shamrock poppy” in the Dáil today. The lapel pin commemorates Irish people who died serving in the British armed forces.
