EACH WEEKDAY EVENING, TheJournal.ie brings you give things you should know before you head out the door.

1. #ANTHONY WARD: An eight-year-old boy who was found dead in his Cork home yesterday morning died from asphyxia, according to preliminary results from a post-mortem. It is believed that Anthony Ward died in the early hours of the morning and the alarm was later raised by his 43-year-old mother, Diane, who was taken to hospital for treatment.

2. #GAS: Bord Gáis Energy domestic gas customers will see their bills rise by 8.5 per cent later this autumn, following the Commission for Energy Regulation’s approval of an application to increase its prices. This application had later been increased as a result of the falling value of the euro against sterling, rising gas prices, and increased transmission tariffs.

3. #PROTEST: Today a number of people with disabilities travelled to Dublin’s city centre with their Personal Assistants, Home Helps and families to protest against the most recent round of cuts proposed by the Health Service Executive. Leaders Alliance spokesperson John Roche told TheJournal.ie that a core group plans to stay overnight to highlight the “disgraceful, retrograde and inhumane cuts” to frontline services.

4. #JAMES TYNAN: A man has been charged with the manslaughter of James Tynan, a young Kilkenny man who died earlier in February from severe head injuries sustained in an assault in Thurles. Jason Morrissey, who has an address in Toomevara in Tipperary, has been remanded in custody and is due before Nenagh District Court on Friday.

5. #EUROZONE: Poland and Bulgaria have set aside their ambitions to join the eurozone in the midst of weakened public support for the project. Fears over the continuing crisis prompted Bulgaria’s prime minister to say he didn’t see “any benefits” to joining, while Poland’s foreign minister said the country wouldn’t rush into seeking membership until the currency’s broader problems had been sorted out.
