EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you the five stories you need to know as you head home.

1. #ABUSE CLAIMS: The Taoiseach has accused Sinn Féin and the IRA of covering up sexual abuse by moving the perpetrators to the South. One TD said she will be passing on to gardaí the names of eight alleged sex abuses within the IRA who were moved to the Republic.

2. #COURTS: Ian Bailey has described his “eternal shame” at the domestic violence he inflicted upon his partner but refused in court to describe her injuries.

3. #DOSSIER: There has been claims that ‘household names’ including from the now-defunct Progressive Democrats appear in a whistleblower’s document alleging tax evasion by former politicians.

4. #ROSETTA: For the first time in history, we’ve landed a robot on a comet.

5. #SPLISH SPLASH: If it has been raining where you are, it will probably continue, and if it hasn’t been raining where you are, it will probably start soon – there’s another weather warning in place.
