What the papers say: Sunday's front pages

Allegations against Russell Brand and the potential sale of land at Montrose are some of the stories on the front pages of Sunday's national newspapers.

The Business Post reports the State is to get 'first call' if RTÉ sell land at Montrose.

The paper also carries the findings of a Red C poll, with seven in 10 demanding that the Universal Social Charge be abolished.

The Sunday Independent writes a parish priest has hit out at Seán Quinn over his book, alongside a piece on former chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan and the loss of his wife to cancer during the pandemic.

The Irish Mail on Sunday's headline reads: 'Coalition fears of Sinn Féin control over RTÉ', claiming direct funding has been ruled out 'due to risk of future "coercion"'.

Following the airing of Channel 4's Dispatches episode on allegations against Russell Brand on Saturday night, the Irish Sunday Mirror leads with 'Brand accused of rape and sex assaults'.

In Britain, the Brand accusations lead several of the newspaper front pages.

The Sunday Times broke the story in conjunction with Channel 4 and it dominates their front page.

The Sunday Telegraph, the Sunday Mirror, the Mail on Sunday and the Sun on Sunday also lead on the accusations against the star.

Elsewhere, shadow foreign secretary David Lammy wants to reset Britain’s foreign policy under a Labour government, according to The Observer.

The Sunday Express says millions of people are ditching the NHS and switching to private healthcare as waiting lists hit record levels.

The Independent features a story on prisoners having to wait five years behind bars before they come to trial due to a growing court backlog.

And the Daily Star on Sunday says people are taking days off work because of their fear of the apocalypse.
