A GP practice in Dublin's north inner city with more than 2,500 patients has said it is facing closure, despite assurance by the Government during the General Election that their issues would be "sorted". The charity GP Care For All opened in Summerhill in 2015 to cater for the large number of medical card holders in one of the most deprived and diverse parts of the capital. The service says that as it operates as a charity, it is being taxed on the double, making the business unsustainable.

Dublin City Council is to hire stewards to patrol the Molly Malone statue to try to discourage the practice of people 'groping' the statue. They will be introduced on a pilot basis in May and will have a similar role to those who were hired to supervise the Dublin portal following issues with anti-social behaviour last year. The tradition of rubbing the famous fishmonger's breast for luck is believed to have begun around 2012 and is thought to have been instigated by an imaginative tour guide.
