An increase in notices to quit following the end of the eviction ban, the fallout of the PSNI data breach and the wildfires in Hawaii make the front pages of Friday's national newspapers.
The Irish Times and The Echo both lead with the latest figures from the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB), which revealed Notices To Quit (NTQ) increased to over 5,700 in the second quarter of the year, up from over 4,700 in the previous quarter.
Meanwhile, the Irish Examiner reports: 'No new windfall tax on banks' profits', alongside an image from the annual Puck Fair taking place in Killorglin, Co Kerry.
A number of the papers, including the Irish Independent, carry an image of Elizabeth Ndudi, who took gold for Ireland in the long jump at the European Under-20 Championships in Jerusalem on Thursday.
The Indo also reports homeowners face paying an extra €600 per month on their mortgage due to a 'bank blunder'.
