EVERY DAY, THEJOURNAL.IE brings you nine things you need to know with your morning cup of coffee.

1. #DUBLIN BUS: Strike action at Dublin Bus has entered its second day meaning that the capital is without a bus service today. With no sign of a resolution between management and unions, the working week now looks likely to be affected by the industrial action.

2. #ROADS: A man has died and two others have been injured after a car crash at Dublin’s North Wall Quay. The road is currently closed in both directions following the crash in the early hours of this morning.

3. #EMERGENCY: What’s a typical night at work for the men and women of Dublin Fire Brigade ambulance crew like? TheJournal.ie spent one night following a crew dealing with everything from car crashes to drunkenness on the streets of the capital. Michelle Hennessy’s fascinating two-part series can be watched here and here.

4. #REHAB UNIT: Keltoi House is a successful HSE-operated rehab unit in the Phoenix Park in Dublin but it operates at less than 50 per cent of its capacity with staffing restrictions meaning just eight of its 20 beds are operational, TheJournal.ie has learned.

5. #CANNABIS: Gardaí have seized more than €160 million of cannabis in the last four years, almost half it discovered last year alone. Figures from the Department of Justice show a sharp rise in the number of seizures over the last four years.

6. #BOSTON: One of the two brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston Marathon bombings in April was in possession of American far-right literature, the BBC reports. A Panorama being broadcast tonight will shed new light on the life of Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his brother Dzhokar in the lead-up to the attacks which killed three and injured hundreds.

7. #SEANAD: Public Expenditure and Reform Minister Brendan Howlin recommended an extra payment for senators working from home, according to the Irish Daily Mail today. Despite being part of a government advocating abolition of the second chamber, Howlin backed the allowance in documents from last December but later decided against it, Senan Molony writes.

8. #FIANNA FÁIL: Fianna Fáil finance spokesperson Michael McGrath has told the Irish Daily Mail and the Irish Examiner that he is not after party leader Micheál Martin’s job. This follows a report in the Sunday Independent yesterday that moves were being made against the former Cabinet minister.

9. #TEST TUBE BURGER: The world’s first ever test tube burger will be eaten at a press conference in London later today. The 5 pound burger was grown by scientists in a lab in the Netherlands using cells from a cow and cost some €250,000.
