Reaction to a new plan aiming to tackle the spiralling cost of living in Ireland is the focus of most front pages on Friday.
The Irish Times leads with the unveiling of the plan to offset rising costs, and separately reports that schools remain “in the dark” about whether the academic year will be shortened in light of the Government’s new bank holiday.
The Irish Examiner reports the Government has admitted its cost of living package “won’t be enough” for many families, also reporting that the Russian ambassador to Ireland has rubbished a detailed assessment of the threats facing the Defence Forces.
The Echo in Cork also focuses on the cost of living plan, alongside the conviction of a 76-year-old former scout leader for indecently assaulting a 13-year-old boy scout in the 1980s.
The Irish Daily Mail describes the cost of living plan as a "bonanza" for holiday home owners, with the plan to tackle inflation meaning anyone with two properties will receive €400 off electricity bills.
The Irish Sun meanwhile features allegations from a massage therapist regarding Britain's Prince Andrew.
In Northern Ireland, the Belfast Telegraph reports a woman whose brother was murdered in the 1992 Teebane Massacre has called for a public inquiry into the “forgotten atrocity”.
In Britain, Cressida Dick’s resignation as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police dominates the papers on Friday.
The Daily Telegraph, i, The Guardian and Metro say Ms Dick was “forced out” of the Met.
