Wednesday's front pages focus on a range of stories from a Kinahan leader who 'gave names' to UK police in relation to a gun seizure to gardaí searching the former family house of Kyran Durnin in Dundalk.
The Irish Times reports Thomas ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh, the Irishman who led the Kinahan cartel’s British operation, gave a list of names to the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) of Irish criminal and paramilitary figures that he suggested may have owned guns his gang had secretly planted for him in Co Down, his barrister said.
The Irish Examiner report gardaí are expected to carry out searches of at least four properties in Co Louth as part of their investigation into the suspected murder of missing eight-year-old Kyran Durnin.
The Echo leads with comments from the Tánaiste who says he will do all he can to deliver Cork's long awaited events centre.
