Irish nanny arrives home in Ireland

Aisling Brady McCarthy has arrived back in Ireland.

The 37 year old Cavan woman was released from custody in Boston earlier this week after charges she had been facing of killing a child in her care in 2013 were dropped.

She was later detained by Immigration officials for outstaying a holiday visa in 2002.

Ms Brady McCarthy arrived back in the country this morning on a flight from Boston.

Fennelly findings to dominate Cabinet return

The Cabinet meets today for the first time since the summer recess - with the focus likely to be the finding by the Fennelly Commision that former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan resigned of his own accord.

The Commission's report said Enda Kenny did not force Mr Callinan to quit, but that his decision to do so was a direct result of the Taoiseach having sent a top civil servant to his home.

Sinn Féin says the Taoiseach and Attorney General should resign and that the Dáil should be recalled early next week to discuss issues raised in the report.

Eurostar disruption with 'migrants on roof'

Rail services through the Channel Tunnel have been disrupted because of suspected migrants on the track and even train roofs.

Some passengers on Eurostar were told people had managed to get on top of their train and were asked to "listen out for people walking on the roof".

Reporting the initial disruption shortly before 9pm, Eurostar tweeted: "Trains are waiting to enter the tunnel as trespassers are on the tracks at Calais, the authorities are on site to help."

Following long delays at the French port, two services were forced to turn back, one to London and one to Paris.

Another train heading to London was unable to return to Paris because of a technical fault.
