DNA tests in the 'Kerry babies' case and warnings over school capacity issues are some of the stories covered on Monday's front pages.
The Irish Times leads with comments from the Irish Planning Institute, claiming the State's planning system s not 'workable'.
The paper also reports a man, who the US believes to be a Russian spy, used an Irish bank account to secure a college place in the US.
The Irish Examiner's lead story is on capacity issues in schools, particularly following efforts to provide places for children fleeing the war in Ukraine.
The Echo also focuses on education, reporting that children with autism are in a 'battle for rights', as transport issues are impacting attendances.
And finally, the Irish Daily Star, Irish Daily Mirror and Irish Daily Mirror all lead with comments from the solicitor representing two people arrested in connection with the 'Kerry babies' case.
A man and a woman were arrested last week on suspicion of murder, but have since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Prosecutions.
The solicitor claims the man and woman are innocent, but will remain in limbo as DNA results are awaited in the case.
