Good morning colleagues, 

The Irish Times leads today with this story about Uisce Éireann's communication with the government to say that  €1 billion given to it in last year’s budget "does not provide additional funding for the utility, saying this was “in direct contradiction” to the impression given to the public." 

That front page includes the Tánaiste's response to Israel's plans to expand military operations in Gaza, and news of new additional powers for Gardaí.
