HERE ARE THE things you need to know as we round off the day in three easy steps.
THINGS WE LEARNED:
#NASSAU ST: Gardaí have now identified the man who was died after being hit by a bus in Dublin on Thursday. Earlier today Gardaí issued an appeal for information to help identify the man with a detailed description of the deceased.
#HEALTH: A new report from the Department of Health has confirmed that over 3,200 jobs will be cut from the health service by the end of next year. The report also said that vacancies will only be filled on an “exceptional basis”.
#ASSAULT: Gardaí in Dublin are investigating an assault in the early hours of this morning in which a 21-year-old man sustained serious head injuries. The man was injured in an altercation between two groups of youths at 3.20am.
#RESPITE: Two Fine Gael politicians have told TheJournal.ie that they have asked Minister for Social Protection to reconsider the cut of over €300 to the Respite Care Grant. Yesterday the minister said there would be no roll back on the decision announced in this week’s budget.
#ARRESTS: Four men and two women were arrested this morning in connection with the investigation into the suspected murder of criminal gang boss Eamon Kelly this week. Yesterday, 34-year-old Sean Connolly from Bluebell in Dublin, was charged with the murder of Kelly as well as IRA membership and possession of a firearm.
#NO CONFIDENCE: Sinn Féin today published a motion of no confidence in the government which will be debated next week in the Dáil. Publishing the motion today, Adams said the two coalition parties have “broken their contract with the electorate and torn up their election promises”.

Duggan aka King size
Another of Hutch’s gang. They’re being wiped out, no doubt regretting the Regency caper now…
Just because they know each other dosent mean they are part of the same gang.
They know each other.that dosent mean they are part of same gang..it more than likely has nothing to do with regency hotel hit..
Did his brother have anything to do with it? Means nothing to these people.
King Size

Don’t really care..after all it’s a game of cat and mouse.let them at it.
Tip: Never play cat and mouse games if you are a mouse.
Bantersaurus Rex. .in this the cat becomes a mouse.the mouse becomes a cat.
Good point rex
If you remember the Tom and Jerry cartoons, the cat would often get a bad doing.
Jamie this is not Tom and Jerry or a cartoon, this is Love/Hate
Another one bites the dust!
This is the same estate that houses Regina Doherty TD’s constituency office!
So you mean to tell us in the one single estate you have a guy evading cigarette taxes to Revenue and right down the road from Regina who was also having her own problems with Revenue?

Some peoples attitudes on here amaze me. If the victims have any links to crime people make out they deserve death. Why not move to Syria and join Isis . Shariah law
