A major report on Dr Tony Holohan's secondment to TCD, a ban on turf sharing and crisis in the childcare sector are all on Ireland's front pages as a new week begins.
The Irish Examiner reports Government leaders are to conclude that the secondment of chief medical officer Tony Holohan to Trinity College Dublin broke existing rules in a "comprehensive report", while a number of “alleged unauthorised payments” are separately under Garda investigation at the university.
The Irish Independent says the report by controversial top civil servant at the Department of Health Robert Watt will admit that the final financial details of Dr Tony Holohan’s secondment to Trinity College were not fully worked out.
The Irish Daily Mail reports that giving turf for the fire to friends and neighbours is to be outlawed by Green Party leader Eamon Ryan, sparking "war" in Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.
The Irish Daily Star reports there will be a clampdown on the Kinahan cartel, with an international operation to freeze assets and the group's boss to be placed on a "no fly" list.
The Echo reports that a Cork-based union representative has warned that employees are leaving the childcare sector in huge numbers due to low pay, while families are paying "obscene" rates for their children to be looked after.
