Shane Coleman says the yo-yo approach gets yet another airing on Budget Groundhog Day. While Kevin Doyle says Noonan won't line the pockets but the bigger picture shows some progress.

In case you want to recap RTE have set out the key changes in recent budgets.

Garda average hourly and weekly earnings show no disadvantage relative to other sectors writes Dr Tom Turner, associate professor University of Limerick. While the psychiatric nurses union pushes for pay restoration.

Today's zen goes to the International Day of the girl, with some advice for girls: ‘Nobody is judging you. Just be yourself.’ While the UN give us some scarey facts on the plight of many young girls around the world.

Have a good day.
