The ongoing fallout at RTÉ, the sentencing of former An Bord Pleanála deputy chair Paul Hyde, and previews of this weekend's All-Ireland Senior Football quarter-finals dominate Saturday's front pages.
The Irish Times and the Irish Examiner report RTÉ's 'slush fund' will be investigated after revelations by the broadcaster before the Public Accounts Committee and Oireachtas Media Committee earlier this week.
The Echo's lead story goes to the sentencing of former ABP deputy chair Paul Hyde, who received a two-month prison sentence on Friday for breaches of planning law.
The Irish Independent focuses on 'lucrative car deals struck by RTÉ stars', while the Irish Daily Mail, Irish Daily Mirror, and Irish Daily Star report Oliver Callan will continue to fill in for Ryan Tubridy on his weekday radio programme.
