What the papers say: Monday's front pages

Monday's newspapers are dominated by a historic Grand Slam triumph for Ireland in the Six Nations over the weekend. There's also coverage of the eviction ban controversy and the on-going market turmoil affecting the global banking system.

The Irish Times reports on continuing fall-out from the Government's decision to end the eviction ban: Sinn Féin is considering another motion on the eviction ban before it expires at the end of the month as the Opposition seeks to maximise pressure on the Government.

The Irish Independent reports that Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has been warned security screening at Dublin Airport is “not fit for purpose” and leaves risks for a possible terrorist attack.

The lead story in the Irish Examiner relates to the legalisation of cannabis — Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said he fears legalising cannabis in Ireland because such a move could create the impression that drug-taking is acceptable.

The Irish Daily Mail is reporting on medicine shortages in Ireland on Monday.
