What the papers say: Sunday's front pages

Dublin Airport struggling with its current volume of flights, internal Coalition tensions over supports for refugees, and Israel's ground operations in Gaza are among the stories on Sunday's front pages.

The Sunday Times leads with Israel's bombardment of Gaza. A story on cuts in payments for Ukrainian refugees also makes the front page.

'Maxed-out' Dublin Airport will be forced to 'stymie' airlines' growth in 2024, according to the Business Post.

There are growing tensions within the Cabinet over proposed benefits cuts for refugees, the Sunday Independent reports.

The Irish Sun on Sunday leads with the Israel-Hamas war.

The Sunday World leads with a story on the family of DJ Carey slamming false internet rumours that the Kilkenny hurling legend had died.

The increasing Israeli bombardment of Gaza continues to dominate the front pages of Sunday’s newspapers.

The Independent says the war has intensified with troops and tanks attacking Gaza while The Sun on Sunday simply says: “The Earth Shook”.

The warning of a “long war” makes the front of The Sunday Telegraph which says Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to “abolish evil”.

Mr Netanyahu also features on the front pages of The Sunday Times and the Observer, which both report on his declaration of a “second war of independence”.

The impact of the conflict at home also features on the front pages with the Sunday Express reporting that prime minister Rishi Sunak is coming under pressure to crack down on extremist groups at pro-Palestinian marches.

The Mail on Sunday concentrates on what the leader of what it calls “an extremist Islamic group” who it says works as an NHS doctor.

There are stories away from the Israel-Hamas conflict with the Sunday People focusing on former UK health secretary Matt Hancock’s appearance on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, saying he sparked fury with a “self-pitying rant” over the Covid pandemic.

The Sunday Mirror turns its attention to minister for disabled people Tom Pursglove campaigning with suspended MP Peter Bone.
