Permanent TSB’s errors leading to the eviction of people from their homes is today’s main story in the broadsheets, while the latest chapter of Irish Water misery for the government also takes a prominent position.

The Irish Independent leads with the news that Permanent TSB mistakes led to at least 22 families being evicted from their homes, with the headline: “Families get derisory €50k for bank rip-off that cost their homes.”

The Irish Times has a photo of PTSB chef executive Jeremy Masding speaking at a press conference yesterday, with his notes – reading ‘serious, controlled, no smile’ – scrawled in the top corner and visible through the glass lectern to the photographers below. The main headline meanwhile is “CSO and Eurostat clash over ruling on Irish Water”

The Irish Examiner leads with: “PTSB failures expose weak controls”, again focusing on the story of the bank's grave errors.

The tabloids focus largely on the suspected murder-suicide in Louth.

Beyond the front pages Chris looked at the story of eight-year-old Zion Harvey – the young boy who has received the world’s first double hand transplant.

And Ivan and Chris looked at a rather morbid story of a woman pronounced dead, in Germany, only for her to wake up in the mortuary.

Chris also brought up the story of a famous YouTube video maker who has made a video complaining that Hollywood villains are disproportionately bald - and it's unfair on the bald men of the world.

Ivan was happy to concede that this is a narrative familiar to Chris on Newstalk Breakfast, where "the bald guy is the villain."
