Friday's front pages focus on a range of stories from the Government not opening new asylum seeker accommodation centres in certain parts of the country to Irish whiskey producers fearing job losses over possible US tariffs.

The Irish Times reports the Government has stopped opening new asylum seeker accommodation centres in certain parts of the country, including north inner-city Dublin, due to “local and political feedback”, 

 

The Irish Examiner reports Ireland's Whiskey industry said jobs, investments and businesses are at risk if tariffs are implemented by the US.

The Echo report on over 100 prisoners waiting for addiction services in Cork prisons.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decision to abolish NHS England takes centre stage on several of Friday’s front pages.

The Guardian, Metro and the Financial Times splash on the Prime Minister’s plans to slash bureaucracy and bring the health system’s management “back into democratic control”.

Meanwhile, the i Paper labels the move as an “NHS revolution”, while the Independent calls Sir Keir’s decision “astonishing”.

The Daily Mail’s front page celebrates the end of what it calls the “world’s biggest quango” in a bid to improve care.

The Times and Daily Telegraph report Vladimir Putin has told Donald Trump he would be open to the “idea” of a ceasefire deal, but would only agree to it on his own terms.

But the Daily Express says the Russian leader has warned there are “nuances” to him backing the 30-day ceasefire proposal.

The Daily Mirror leads on an appeal from the family of stabbing victim Elianne Andam, who have begged teenagers to “put the knives down”.

Lastly, the Daily Star alleges AI chatbots cannot tell the time.
