EVERY WEEKDAY EVENING, The Journal brings you the five biggest stories of the day.
1. #OMICRON WAVE: The Taoiseach said there are no plans for a meeting this week on whether new restrictions to curb the spread of Covid in Ireland are required. Meanwhile, a drop in South Africa’s recorded new cases suggests a recent surge of infections there could be slowing.
2. #BACK TO SCHOOL: A review of public health measures in schools will be undertaken when they reopen in the New Year.
3. #GIVE BLOOD: The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is set to reduce the time that men have to wait to give blood after having sexual contact with other men.
4. #CLIMATE CRISIS: Parts of Greenland are recording temperatures 28 degrees above the seasonal average. Meteorologists say the data is in line with global warming trends.
