Tuesday, May 8: Headlines

Just a quick glance at today's headlines.

The Irish Times' frontpage says 'Kenny, McDowell deny being behind leaks' - and so the saga of information leaked from the Mahon tribunal continues.
The biggest story, however, is the creation of a powersharing government in Northern Ireland. 'Stormont ceremony marks end of Northern conflict'

Irish Independent also leads with an article on the alleged leaks. The Indo speaks of Enda Kenny's 'embarrassing climbdown (...) after his first public intervention over the Taoiseach's payments controversy backfired on him'. More in 'McDowell 'leak' row rebounds on Kenny' (free registration required).
Also on the frontpage a photo of Cathy Jordan from the Irish Eurovision group Dervish. Well, let's keep our fingers crossed on Saturday, shall we?

Irish Examiner's frontpage gives prominence to the photo of Kate and Gerry McCann - parents of the abducted, three-year-old Madeleine. The paper also talks about the Mahon tribunal in 'FF fury over tribunal actions'. There's less on Enda Kenny vs. Michael McDowell spat and more about the fact the 'Fianna Fail is privately furious with the Mahon tribunal for what it contends is its destructuve role in undemining Taoiseach Bertie Ahern'. Irish Examiner also informs us that '30m spent on care every year for 72 troubled teens'.
