What the papers say: Friday's front pages

Friday's front pages focus on a range of stories, from Gardaí believing a boy and father died in a murder-suicide to patients attending hospitals in Cork, Kerry, and Galway having a worse experience than those in Dublin.
The Irish Times reports a Dublin man killed his son in his own home before travelling to his ex-partner’s house and taking his life in the back garden of the property, gardaí believe.
The Irish Examiner led with patients attending hospitals in Cork, Kerry, and Galway having a worse experience than those in Dublin.
The Echo reports that a site north of Cork City is being transferred from the IDA to the LDA and could provide up to 1,000 new homes.
