Sweet Dreams
by Niall Shanahan

Morning all,

 

The Irish Examiner reports that laws to ban employers from using tips or service charges to pay their workers are being drawn up by the Government, with our own Grace Williams quoted in the piece from her speech to Congress last week. The same paper speculates on the possible composition of the next Government.

 

Saturday's Irish Times had a report by student of economics Fionn Rogan: Everybody loses if we don’t pay the living wage, and the paper reports today that the health service has recorded a financial deficit of more than €116 million to the end of April, also that the Government will this week launch another wave of no-deal Brexit preparations.

 

Elsewhere it's reported that we aren't planting enough trees, an ESB whistleblower will address an Oireachtas committee this week, kudos to Megan Rapinoe and the victorious US Women's World Cup team, and myself and former Indo editor Claire Grady spoke to Matt Cooper on Today FM last Friday about Trump's recall of 19th century US airports (among other things).

 

Your Zen this morning is, quite possibly, the best TV advert ever made, or at least one of the most surprising, and here's a look at today's newspaper front pages.

 

Enjoy your week.
