A variety of stories feature on Irish front pages on Saturday morning, but the death of a 12-year-old boy and his father in a suspected murder-suicide in Dublin features on multiple.
The Irish Times lead with suspended DAA chief Kenny Jacobs rejecting claims of "sexist, misogynistic, racist, homophobic and ageist behaviour" in comments to or about employees, and a story about people in Greenland.
The Irish Examiner lead with a planned protest by farmers against the Mercosur deal, Chinese students who failed a university exam in Cork being allowed to resit it in Beijing, and two men facing trial for 82 sexual offences.
The Irish Independent lead with salary hikes being approved for the chief executives of commercial semi-state bodies, including Dublin Bus, CIE and Uisce Éireann. The RTÉ board has also applied for director general Kevin Backhurst to get a lift on his €250,000 salary, but a final decision has yet to be made on that, the paper reports.
The Echo lead with Cork University Hospital spending over €315,000 on debt collectors since 2023.
The Irish Daily Mail lead with former finance minister Paschal Donohoe giving an extra €10 million in funding to the World Bank than it had requested ahead of taking up a new job with the bank.
The Herald, Irish Daily Star and Irish Daily Mirror all lead with the death of a Dublin father and son in a suspected murder suicide in Dublin.
The Belfast Telegraph lead with a top dissident republican being charged with having child abuse images.
