Molly was joined by the students at Glasnevin NS as she went in to do some serious work at the National Standards Authority of Ireland. They maintain national measurement standards for lots of things - they even time! So, everything that has to be measured gets measured there first!
A Co Sligo primary school is holding a series of events this week to promote the integration of autistic children into mainstream schools. RTÉ News' Teresa Mannion went along to Our Lady of Mercy Primary School.
There was a special forecast by RTÉ weather presenter Louise Heraghty. Louise is a past pupil of the school and she gave pupils the opportunity to do some weather reporting along with her 6-year-old son James who is neurodivergent.
A North American bird - the yellow-crowned night heron - has been spotted in the the village of Belcarra in Co Mayo. It's the first time that type of bird has been seen in Ireland and only the second time it has been recorded in Europe.
It is believed the bird may have arrived in the village, near Castlebar, after getting caught up in the Atlantic hurricane system last Autumn.
