Good morning colleagues, 

The Irish Times top news stories this morning include news that former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said every party running in the next Dáil elections should make manifesto pledges that Irish unification is “an objective, not an aspiration”, as news breaks that University Hospital Limerick’s chief clinical director has initiated legal proceedings against the HSE. 

Also, today is SNA Appreciation Day, so show some love. The Indo and Extra cover the news.
