1. #HUMAN RIGHTS: The United Nations has told Ireland to change its abortion legislation to include exemptions for rape, incest and fatal foetal abnormalities. It also recommended that the State open an investigation into symphysiotomy immediately.
2. #AH5017: The missing Air Algerie flight carrying 116 has reportedly crashed but there is no trace of the plane yet.
3. #COURTS: There are about 50% fewer drink-driving charges heard in our district courts now, compared to five years ago. Why?
4. #NOT AGAIN: Food studies in Dublin have revealed that some lamb kebabs contain…no lamb. It’s alright though, there was no horsemeat in them either.
