Court Reports
It's a very sunny Friday of a Bank Holiday. Which means all our usual news sources are in beergardens- except for the courts! So, we've got guilty verdicts and innocent verdicts. It's all very official and newsy. Guy who worked for Irish Life and Permanent is not guilty. Man who committed terrible crimes is guilty. Lady did something to make your granny grab your wrist and exclaim with glee, Isn't that Awful?

Trump Trip
Human ruminant and unpresidential candidate, Donald Trump announced his plan to drop into his golf course in Ireland at the same time as Joe Biden is visiting the country, just to be a dick about it.

Luas Suas
The Luas drivers, who had been striking, agreed to take a last available offer. Maybe they decided that a union that ends up holding transport strikes over the summer (instead of the Winter, when they actually generate some pressure from passengers) might not be able to do any better for them.

That's your News in Gist.
