What the papers say: Sunday's front pages

A jump in insolvencies, reaction to President Michael D Higgins' comments on the Israel-Hamas conflict, and the death of Bobby Charlton are covered on the front pages of Sunday's papers.

The Business Post leads with an exclusive which claims a 'perfect storm' has led to a 'dramatic rise' in business insolvencies.

The Sunday Independent quotes Israel's ambassador to Ireland Dana Erlick, who described comments from President Michael D Higgins as 'inflammatory'.

The Irish Mail on Sunday reads: 'Home care for aged targeted in health cuts', while the Irish Sunday Mirror carries an image of Charlton, whose death was confirmed on Saturday, aged 86, with the headline: 'Back with Big Jack'.

In Britain, the papers are led by tributes to Charlton.

The Sun on Sunday, Sunday People and Daily Star Sunday all call the Manchester United and England legend a “hero”, with the Sunday Mirror also paying tribute on its front page.

Elsewhere, The Observer reports the US is urging Israel not to launch a pre-emptive strike on Hizbullah in Lebanon.

A Hamas fugitive lives in a council property in London, according to The Sunday Times.

The Sunday Telegraph reports the US is calling on the UK to recognise Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation.

The Sunday Express says Islamic extremists are attempting to hijack pro-Palestinian rallies.

And the Mail on Sunday leads with Israel vowing to launch a military strike against Iran if Hizbullah joins the war.
