Sinn Féin's axed plans for a lights show on O'Connell St. to mark the centenary of the Rising next week served as the opener for today's newspaper review.

An Post felt the plan, which would have projected images of shelling onto the General Post Office, was too political and vetoed it.

Ivan meanwhile is still stuck on his realisation yesterday that he probably isn't going to get a bank holiday for the anniversary.

That's on the front page of The Irish Times.

The same paper, a very awkward picture of Tánaiste Joan Burton, Minister Richard Bruton and Taoiseach Enda Kenny sitting next to each other, but seperate, at a jobs announcement yesterday.

The Irish Times lead story is "November election looms as Kenny reveals key manifesto pledge."

Echoling the Conservative party in the UK, that key plank is support from Fine Gael for the idea that work should always pay more than welfare as they unveil a working family payment.

Also in that paper, "Penalty points for drivers using phone fall sharply."

That decrease largely coming because of fewer garda checks, not because of improved driver behaviour.

The Irish Independent "Sweetener for builders who sell new homes for less than market value."

Midnight is the deadline to claim your water conservation grant.

The Examiner "Audits at 5 schools over fire safety fears" - that news coming from the Department of Education , after the discovery that a building firm behind fire risk homes also built schools.

In The Irish Sun "Pat's axe fury" - Presenter Pat Kenny has said he feels very left down that his production company told him the news that his UTV show had been cancelled, calling the station's failure to approach him personally "unprofessional".

The Irish Daily Mail goes with "Paternity leave gets a boost from Joan" - two weeks off for Dad's in the budget.

The Herald Man United footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger is photographed with the family of Berkely victim Nicholai Schuster in Dublin yesterday.

The Star lead is "Lad's sex rap - arrest as girl (12) gets pregnant. 19-year-old could get life in jail."

The Daily Mirror and all tabloids behind the boys in green ahead of tonight's match.

Their lead story is "I love you Jim, please forgive me", that from a letter left for Hollywood actor Jim Carrey by girlfriend Caithriona White, before her death.

From the other papers - Daniel Craig will make €53 million from the new Bond film, and he has options on profits.

And the news that most vegetarians will eat meat when they have had a few drinks.
