Stories related to the general election dominate the front pages of Irish newspapers, with leading stories ranging from potential coalitions to Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch's failed election bid.

The Irish Times leads with Labour and the Social Demoncrats being wary to join a Fine Gael-Fianna Fáil coalition.

Fianna Fáil's position as the lead party following the general election dominates the front page of the Irish Examiner, which claims that party leader Micheál Martin is preparing to be Taoiseach.

The Echo leads with Martin being elected in the Cork South Central constituency, as well as Munster sport news.

Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch's failed Dáil bid features on the front page of the Irish Daily Mail, which also reports that Micheál Martin and Simon Harris will continue the rotating Taoiseach arragement, regardless of how many seats their parties get.

Liverpool's victory over Manchester City in the Premier League, Gerry Hutch's failed election bid, and the dismal result for the Green Party takes up the Irish Daily Star's front page.

The Irish Independent reports that elected Independents will seek to open talks about supporting a Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael coalition in the coming days.

The Herald leads with Labour's Marie Sherlock beating Gerry Hutch for the last seat in the Dublin Central constituency.

Mo Salah's role during Liverpool's win over Manchester City features on the front page of the Irish Daily Mirror, as well Barry McGuigan's performance in I'm A Celebrity.

The continuing turmoil surrounding TV presenter Gregg Wallace again dominates the front pages of Monday’s newspapers.

The MasterChef presenter, who has stepped away from the show in the wake of allegations about his behaviour, faces a fresh backlash according to The Daily Telegraph after he released an Instagram video saying accusations against him were made by “middle-class women of a certain age”.

The Daily Mirror carries the simple headline DisasterChef as it says the comments were met with anger, while the Metro says it has sparked a fresh backlash.

His comments also feature on the front of The Independent, which says he remains defiant amid turmoil at the BBC over the allegations, the Daily Mail reporting the broadcaster received at least four complaints against him while he was still on screens.

The Sun and Daily Star offer some advice for the presenter to shut up and “stop digging”.

Health issues feature elsewhere with The Times reporting on NHS bosses warning A&E departments will suffer under plans to hit targets for routine operations, expected to be announced by Sir Keir Starmer this week.

Plans for an “unprecedented transformation” of end-of-life care feature on the front of The Guardian in the wake of the Commons vote on assisted dying.

A poll showing 47 per cent of people favour stronger links with the EU ahead of a free trade deal with the US under Donald Trump is on the front of the i.

The Financial Times also has an eye overseas, reporting that Russian and Syrian warplanes have hit back against rebels in Syria.
