Simon Harris captures most of the front page headlines on Tuesday as he is set to become the next taoiseach as TDs return to the Dáil.
The Irish Times' lead story focuses on Mr Harris' Cabinet reshuffle, alongside an image of Leo Varadkar as he met with President Michael D Higgins to formally resign on Monday.
The Irish Examiner also speculates over the make-up of the new Cabinet, but the paper's lead image shows two young sungazers taking in Monday's solar eclipse.
The Irish Independent has an interview with Mr Harris' parents, and separately speculates that Hildegarde Naughton and Jennifer Carroll MacNeill are in contention for a cabinet promotion.
