1. #MACHETE ATTACK: A 13-YEAR-OLD girl remains in critical condition in hospital after being stabbed on Saturday night in Co Fermanagh, as it emerged she suffered injuries while protecting her 11-month-old nephew from a gang of armed men.

2. #I’M SORRY Fine Gael by-election candidate Verona Murphy has apologised after suggesting that asylum seekers coming to Ireland need to be “deprogrammed” as they may have been “infiltrated” by ISIS.
