EVERY MORNING, TheJournal.ie brings you nine things to know with your first cup of coffee…
1. #MORIARTY: Health minister James Reilly has defended the decision to meet Michael Lowry after he was censured in the Moriarty Tribunal report. It’s emerged that finance minister Michael Noonan also met Lowry, as full details of the Tipperary TD’s discussions with Phil Hogan were revealed.
2. #WEALTH: Irish households have suffered the largest decline in wealth in Europe with an average drop of 23 per cent in three years, new figures from the Central Bank show. The Irish Times reports that wealth rose in half of the countries surveyed.
3. #WAITING LISTS: Almost 178,000 people in Ireland are waiting to be seen by a consultant after a referral from a GP, HSE figures have revealed. RTÉ reports that 300 people have been waiting for more than four years to be seen at a clinic.
4. #HOUSEHOLD CHARGE: Several thousand homeowners a day are still paying the household charge almost one week after the deadline. Almost 160,000 registrations are currently at the Local Government Agency waiting to be processed, it’s estimated.
5. #VIRUS: A quick-spreading Trojan virus has infected 550,000 Macs across the world including some in Apple’s home of Cupertino, California, CBC News reports. The Backdoor Flashback virus can download itself to machines running OS X – traditionally seen as virus-free – if the user visits a malicious website.
6. #PRISONS: Close to 5,000 drug seizures have been made in Irish jails in the last three years. The Irish Times reports that by far the largest number of finds – 1,661 – were in Dublin’s Mountjoy prison.
7. #FACEBOOK: A US Marine faces being kicked out of the military because he made unflattering comments about President Barack Obama on his Facebook page. Gary Stein pasted an image of Obama’s face onto a poster for the movie Jackass, the Houston Chronicle reports.
8. #RATING AGENCIES: Credit rating agencies were instrumental in causing the global financial crisis, in the eyes of many economists. So why do countries around the world still tremble before them? We’ve been looking behind the ratings to explain this bizarre situation.
9. #PORN STARS: Irish porn stars have held a protest outside the Dáil, calling for safe sex in business here. Adult actor Mark Williamson told TheJournal.ie he had been told to “like it or lump it” by producers who wanted unprotected sex in their films.

HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!
Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software’s. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get 40,000 Kuwaiti dinar each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don’t give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. on yahoomail, (luciafernando222@gmail.com) for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable.(luciafernando222@gmail.com)
