What the papers say: Saturday's front pages
Kenneth Fox
Saturday's front pages focus on a range of stories from an Irish army chief warning about a Russian ‘shadow fleet' to over 5,000 children being homeless in the State.
The Irish Times reports that Ireland must focus more on national defence against external threats including espionage, covert Russian vessels and conventional military forces, the newly appointed head of the Defence Forces has said.
The Irish Examiner lead on the number of children who are homeless in Ireland rising to over 5,000 for the first time, on what is being described as a “dark” and “shameful” day for Ireland.
The Echo focuses on MEP Billy Kelleher setting his sights on being Fianna Fáil's nomination for the presidency.
