What the papers say: Tuesday's front pages

Tuesday's front pages focus on a range of stories from a vaccine damages scheme stalling to there being 14 times as many listings on Air bnb as on housing website Daft.ie.

The Irish Times reports work on a vaccine-damages compensation scheme has “not progressed” despite the Government previously indicating that the establishment of such a programme would be a priority.

The Irish Examiner lead with a piece that shows there are significantly more short-term lets available across the country than there are long-term rentals, with more than 18,000 properties available to lease on Airbnb.

The Echo meanwhile focus on the Cork Camogie team who made their homecoming yesterday after a comprehensive win over Waterford.
