Monday's front pages focus on a range of stories from vacant office blocks being repurposed for housing to staff at Cork University Hospital querying why management consultants are earning €608,000.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s speeding fine and a variety of other stories feature on the front pages in Britain on Monday.

The Mirror and The Guardian take a different stance, saying Labour is demanding a probe into Ms Braverman’s speeding fine after her team denied she had a speeding ticket six weeks ago.
