4. #PROPERTY TAX: The Revenue Commissioners has sent letters to more than 50,000 people who have not paid the property tax to inform them that the charge will be taken directly from their wages if they don’t pay up in seven days.

5. #CRUELTY: A Polish mother and her partner, who starved her four-year-old son before beating him to death, were both jailed for 30 years by a British judge today.
