EVERY MORNING, TheJournal.ie brings you nine things you need to know with your morning cup of coffee.

1. #STAMPEDE: Seven people were injured in a crush outside Copper Face Jacks nightclub on Harcourt Street last night. About 1,500 people were queuing outside the club which was hosting a rare over-18s event (it usually allows over 21s only).

2. #PROBE: The Garda Ombudsman Commissioner has said he cannot say whether he is confident of receiving full cooperation from gardaí in his investigation of the penalty points controversy.

Meanwhile, Alan Shatter has once more criticised members of the PAC for prejudging matters, a claim rejected by chairman John McGuinness and Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald.

We will find out later today if whistleblower – and serving garda sergeant – Maurice McCabe will appear before the committee to give evidence.

3. #CRASH: The final report into the 2011 plane crash at Cork Airport is due to be published today, RTÉ News reports. Six people were killed when the Metroliner failed to land on its third attempt on 10 February.

4. #RAPE: Young people are not equipped to talk about sex, or negotiate consent, a new report from the Rape Crisis Network of Ireland has found. This – and a culture of binge-drinking – puts them at risk of sexual violence, says the group.

5. #RACISM: The Irish Times reports a case from Ennis Circuit Court where the defendant – accused of drink driving – refused to provide a blood sample because the doctor was black. John McNamara, a Clare farmer, is now banned from the road for four years and has to pay a €2,500 fine.

6. #UKRAINE: An extraordinary session of parliament has opened in Ukraine with Prime Minister Mykola Azarov resigning. It is expected that legislators will cancel controversial anti-protest laws and introduce other reforms as politicians hope to ease the current, deadly crisis.

7. #SPY GAMES: The National Security Agency (NSA) in the United States and Britain’s Government Communications Headquarters may be using the app Angry Birds to collect data on citizens, according to the New York Times. Angry Birds is a popular game played on smartphones and tablets.

8. #PUN HAVEN: All of today’s newspapers report on Michael Flatley’s lost horn. His rhino horn, that is. Thieves broke into his Castlehyde home last night, targeting the item which is worth up to €300,000.

9. #WHEN THE CAT’S AWAY: Fancy having a wander around Buckingham Palace when the Queen is out and about? That’s exactly what MPs want visitors to be able to do…in order to raise money to put towards the monarch’s £31 million annual spend.
