Monday's front pages focus on a range of stories from a shotgun which was seized by gardaí in 2009 ending up in the hands of organised crime to 22 teens in State care still missing.

The Irish Times reports that a pump-action shotgun seized by the Garda, and which should have been in secure storage as evidence, got back into the hands of people involved in serious organised crime.

The Irish Examiner reports almost 30 teenagers have disappeared this year from State care, with one teenage boy, aged 14, missing for two months.

The Echo report that staffing levels at Cork University Hospital is lower than any other acute hospital in the country.

In the UK, criticism of the Metropolitan Police’s handling of protests leads many of the papers at the start of the working week.

The Telegraph says the PM has refused to back Sir Mark, while The Times reports voters are losing faith in the police after a spate of scandals and rise in offences such as shoplifting and cybercrime.

Elsewhere, the Daily Express leads with Rishi Sunak warning Labour it must pass the Government’s Rwanda Bill.

Mr Sunak is under pressure to make last-minute concessions in order to get the Bill through, according to The Guardian.

The i says the Government is heading towards a new pay clash with public sector workers before the General Election.

The Daily Mirror leads with Keir Starmer’s pledge to honour the legacy of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence.

Metro reports a headteacher has called for school days to be extended to 12 hours in order to break pupils’ addiction to their mobile phones.
