Tuesday's front pages are focused on the Garda's clampdown on joyriding after the fatal crash on the M9, which killed five teenagers.
The Irish Times reports Gardaí will be given “whatever resources” are required to deal with dangerous driving, including pursuit training, following the M9 motorway crash.
The Irish Examiner reports that gardaí used a drone to check the wreckage of the fatal M9 crash.
The Echo leads with a piece about residents calling for the old Cork prison to be turned into a heritage site.
