After an unruly day in the Dáil yesterday Deputy Micheál Martin TD is now Taoiseach Micheál Martin. He went to see President Michael D Higgins who signed the Warrant of Appointment and presented the seal of the Taoiseach and seal of the Government today.
There is a very serious storm coming, Storm Éowyn, and Barry chatted to RTÉ's George Lee to find out more. We can expect very strong winds and it will see a Status Red alert in place. That means all schools are closed but people need to be very careful and stay safe.
It is the start of the annual 'TradFest' event, Ireland’s major trad and folk festival. RTÉ's Evelyn O'Rourke met the Martin family, who will be performing over the next four days.
