Sunday's papers focus on a range of stories from multi-billion euro holes in the main parties' manifestos to a new poll showing Fine Gael has dropped four points with Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil neck and neck.

The Business Post reports that Sinn Féin are short €85 billion, Fine Gael short €65 billion and Fianna Fáil short €55 billion based on their parties' manifestos.

The Sunday Independent focusses on their latest poll which shows Fine Gael has seen a drop of 4 per cent in support, while Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil are neck and neck.

 

In the UK, Russian threats, the assisted dying debate, and I’m A Celebrity… occupy several of the front pages in Sunday’s newspapers.

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden will tell a Nato conference on Sunday that Russia is preparing a wave of cyber attacks on Britain, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

The Sunday Express also focuses on Russia with former security minister Tom Tugendhat saying Vladimir Putin is aiming to make opponents cower with his nuclear threat.

Assisted dying is supported by two thirds of the public ahead of a vote in Parliament on the issue, according to a poll in The Sunday Times.https://x.com/sgfmann/status/1860444682498502723

But The Observer reports Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood has called the legislation a “slippery slope towards death on demand”.

The Mail on Sunday concentrates on an interview with Keir Starmer in which the Prime Minister promises to cut down on the country’s “bulging benefits bill”.

A chief constable is facing an inquiry following stabbings in Nottingham which killed three people last year, according to the Sunday Mirror.

Coleen Rooney will receive a surprise visit from her youngest sons during her stay in the I’m A Celebrity… jungle, according to The Sun on Sunday.

The show also features on the front of the Sunday People with Harry Judd backing his McFly bandmate Danny Jones to “deal with his demons” in the jungle.

The Daily Star Sunday says “geeks shall inherit the earth” as nerd hobbies are becoming more popular than football.
