Plenty of colour and photographs from last night's sporting fixtures, but the front pages today are dominated by the two sad stories of the year.

The tragic deaths of ten in a fire at a halting site in Carrickmines and the garda being shot last night in Louth.

The Irish Times has "Fire victims were "just beautiful lovely families" - community in mourning for ten who died".

Also on the front page, "Garda among two dead in Louth shooting".

The Irish Independent leads with that story: "Garda responding to 999 call murdered by terror suspect".

The Examiner has a really sad photograph of a man in agony - Paul O'Connell down injured just before halftime. "Agony marrs the ecstasy in mixed day for Irish team Super Sunday". 

Their lead is "Garda gunned down in murder suicide - Father of 3 shot dead by man on bail for IRA membership".

And on the issue of the budget tomorrow, it has now emerged with figures over the weekend that if you take the surplus from this year it won't be €1.5 billion in 50/50 tax cuts and spending, it's actually going to be €3 billion.

The Herald has "Shot dead by suicide killer" with an image of Garda Tony Golden, and a similar image on the front page of The Irish Daily Mail, along with the word "Horrific".

The Irish Sun has "Garda shot dead. Dissident Republican blasted girlfriend, Dad of 3 Tony Golden and himself".

The Irish Daily Star "Garda dies in bloodbath" and The Mirror has the same story.

Inside the papers, there is more detail ahead of the budget tomorrow - the respite grant, USC cuts and the amount of money for the Christmas bonus as well as an increase in the fuel allowance.

In The Irish Independent, The Department of Health has scaffolded the building as a protective measure because bits are falling off the building it has emerged.

And there is an emerging row between the HSE and Lloyd's Pharmacy - the Health Executive has stopped payments worth hundreds of thousands of euro in a row over how it claims its dispensing fees.

The Daily Telegraph has the story that the contract is nearly up for the Great British Bake Off. The BBC is in line to pay £20 million pounds to hold on to Europe's most popular TV programme.

Ivan Yates and Chris Donoghue also discussed Taoiseach Enda Kenny's assertion on RTÉ yesterday that a snap election will not be called next month.

Chris said: "Will somebody please ask him the straight question of so 100% there won't be an election before Christmas" - I thought he got out of it by using the word 'intention'.

Ivan too was unconvinced.
