What the papers say: Saturday's front pages
By PA Reporter
This morning's papers carry stories on new rules for refugees and the impact of a changing nighttime economy.
The Irish Times leads with a "hardening" of conditions for Ukrainian refugees in Ireland, and a new poll from the paper/Ipsos says that a clear majority of voters say that people who sing songs which contain pro-IRA chants do not “mean to glorify the IRA”.
The Irish Independent on Saturday leads with reaction on the changing night economy law, which will see pubs and nightclubs stay open later from next year on. The Department of Health has been warned by experts about the possible implications of the new laws, the paper reports.
The Irish Examiner leads with news that Ukrainian refugees will have to pay for their meals out of social welfare payments under proposed changes to the current arrangement.
The Echo carries news of a new "surgical hub" for Cork — there's hope such a facility would alleviate hospital waiting lists.
In the UK, the papers on Saturday focus on health and environmental concerns, as well as Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover and Tyson Fury’s inspiration.
The Daily Mirror and Daily Star cover an angry patient confronting the Prime Minister and accused him of not paying nurses enough.
