What the papers say: Tuesday's front pages
James Cox
Housebuilding, problems at University Hospital Limerick (UHL), and mounting pressure on UK prime minister Keir Starmer are among the stories on Tuesday's front pages.
Calls from senior Labour members for Starmer to resign make the front page of The Irish Times.
The Irish Examiner leads with a story on 'privacy and dignity issues' at UHL. A story on bets on Dublin Central by-election candidate Gerry Hutch also makes the front page.
The Irish Independent reports on a surprise drop in housebuilding due to the US-Iran war and the fuel protests.
The Echo leads with a story on plans for a new Cork city library.
The Irish Daily Mail also leads with fuel prices driving up the cost of building.
The Irish Daily Star leads with a story on rape threats to a family over a drug debt.
Foreign police services may help gardaí with security during Ireland's EU Presidency, the Irish Daily Mirror reports.
The Herald leads with a story on the Liam Murray murder investigation.
The Irish Sun leads with a story on a 'barbaric attack' that left a man hospitalised.
The Irish News leads with a story on pallets at a substation that supplies two hospitals.
The Belfast Telegraph leads with a story on an apology from a driver involved in a crash in which a 7-year-old girl died.
Unsurprisingly, UK front pages are dominated by the pressure on Keir Starmer.
