The supply of new homes has slumped by almost 20 per cent compared to last year, the Irish Daily Mail claims.

The Irish Daily Mirror and Irish Daily Star both report on the garda investigation into the murder of Annie McCarrick 30 years ago.

A Sinn Féin councillor has condemned the removal of a council-owned bilingual sign from a village in Co Derry and branded it a hate crime, the Belfast Telegraph reports.

The election of Humza Yousaf as the new leader of the SNP features heavily on the front pages of the British newspapers.

The i reports that despite the election of the new leader, the “dream of an independent Scotland” may be delayed due to divisions within the party.
