The 5 at 5 5 minutes, 5 stories, 5 o’clock…

EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you the five stories you need to know before you head out the door.

1. #OUT OF CONTROL: The Government has insisted that it can still end long-term homelessness by 2016, despite claims from the Dublin Simon Community that the target is “unachievable”.

2. #ATTACK: A man is being questioned by gardaí after a woman was stabbed in Dublin this morning. She remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital.

3. #RESIGNATION: Sinn Féin councillor for Dublin’s north inner city, Jonathan Dowdall, has announced that he is stepping down from his role due to health reasons.

4. #COURTS: Veteran British DJ David Lee Travis has been found guilty of indecent assault. He was cleared of 12 charges of indecent assault earlier this year but faced a retrial on two counts.

5. #LOST CASH: A waste worker who found almost €3,000 in a skip has been able to return it to its rightful owner. What would you do if you came across that much cash?
