What the papers say: Tuesday's front pages

The response to a shooting in Dublin on Christmas Eve dominated the national newspaper front pages for St Stephen's Day.

The Irish Times and Irish Examiner both focus on increased armed Garda patrols in Dublin following the shooting in a restaurant in Blanchardstown.

The Irish Independent reports fears of 'revenge attacks' following the incident.

Finally, both the Irish Daily Mirror and Irish Daily Star carry an image of the suspect, reporting he was stabbed '27 times after botched attack'.

In Britain, the front pages cover the healthcare system, the migrant crisis and royalty amid a range of stories.

The Guardian carries a warning of a “child health timebomb” as a report spells out the effects of the UK government shelving anti-obesity pledges.

The Daily Telegraph focuses on a “hormone replacement therapy lottery” with NHS figures indicating women are three times more likely to be offered treatment in some parts of the country.

The Times leads on a Labour alternative to the Conservative Rwanda asylum plan which is due to be unveiled in the new year.

The Sun concentrates on Sarah Ferguson, who was spotted on the royal Christmas church service walk for the first time in three decades.

The Daily Mail, Daily Express and the Daily Mirror run with a Christmas message from Britain's King Charles III, focusing on his plea for peace as “tragic conflict” continues in the Middle East.

The Independent also places its focus on the Middle East and 100 people killed in Gaza in one night.

The i dives into politics with its splash as the Tories face a fresh general election threat from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.

And the Daily Star opts for a tale about “car scoffing rats” that may chew their way through a vehicle near you.
