While the Sunday papers miss out on news of Katie Taylor's win in New York overnight, the turf ban, barriers to housing and Spanish charges against cyclist Stephen Roche are some of the stories covered.
The Sunday Independent reports Fine Gael are "under fire" as Green Party members accuse them "trying to outdo the Healy-Raes" over the proposed ban on the sale of turf.
The paper also reports that an anti-vaccination campaigner will not face charges in connection with a Covid patient leaving Letterkenny University Hospital. The patient, who was 67-years-old, returned to the hospital two days later, where he subsequently died.
The Sunday Times leads with news that former An Post chair, Philip Lynch, has become the first person in the history of the State to be found to have engaged in insider dealing. The €75,000 fine from the Central Bank relates to his actions while he was director of C&C.
In another piece on the front page, the paper claims some Ukrainian refugees who have arrived in Ireland with their pets have been told they cannot stay in some hotels or accommodation centres due to rules against having animals.
Finally, the Irish Mail on Sunday runs an exclusive on its front page, claiming Irish cyclist Stephen Roche has been found guilty of fraud by a civil court in Spain.
Meanwhile in Britain, the papers are led by uproar over a “culture of debauchery” in the House of Commons, following the resignation of Tory MP Neil Parish.
The Observer reports Mr Parish admitted to twice watching porn in the British parliament chamber, with the UK Labour Party signalling his actions may be a criminal offence.
