Wonderwall is the most butchered song the world over by butchers. Chris had the story of a Cork busker who was in court yesterday because he refused to be quiet after an appeal from gardaí.

Both The Examiner and Irish Independent have photographs of the seven men who - in total - were sentenced to 105 years between them for terrorising a Tipperary family.

The lead in the Irish Independent is "Fiasco. No beds for tech firms but Councils turn down homes" - that's the story of Paypal saying they are asking their employees to rent out a room to other employees and NAMA offered 6,500 homes to Councils for use by homeless people, but only 2,500 were accepted.

The headline in The Irish Times is about the exchequer returns for September. For the month alone they are going to be €300 million over target, giving the government an opportunity to give the health service a bailout and the Christmas bonus can be paid to social welfare recipients.

The Sun, The Star and The Mirror cover the mass shooting at a college in Oregan yesterday.

The Herald and The Irish Daily Mail go with the burglary and the aggravated assault in Tipperary.

The Irish Daily Mail goes with "Gang in home raid had 315 convictions between them.

The Irish Daily Star goes with "I found Caithriona's body" about the former girlfriend of the actor Jim Carrey.

In The Mirror, the news that 'furry passengers' could soon be allowed to board about Ryanair's review of its no pets policy.

And Bressie is the celeb that most Irish women would like to snuggle up to, apparently. For men it's Georgia Salpa.

"It's a rite of passage for all Taoisigh" - Chris had the story from The Irish Independent about Enda Kenny's day yesterday, when he got stuck in a lift.

A man called Neil Richmond could be in the news tomorrow for giving Alan Shatter a bloody news, ahead of Fine Gael's Dublin South selection convention. Richmond could take Shatter's place on the ticket as Olivia Mitchell's successor.

Ivan felt Shatter could be thrown a lifeline in that he could be added to the ticket as a third candidate in the three-seat constituency.

Finally, The Telegraph has the story of a charity drive for Syrian refugees, residents of Royal Tunbridge Wells what has been donated includes ballgowns, stiletto shoes and bone china. Hot pants and beer mats featured too.
