This morning's news also looks ahead to public service pay talks, which get underway this afternoon. RTE's Brian O'Donovan had this preview on Morning Ireland this morning (the talks kick off at 3.30pm, rescheduled to facilitate today's solidarity vigil) and on the RTE website, and the Irish Times has this Q&A.

There's coverage in The Journal also, and Cormac McQuinn had this analysis in Saturday's Irish Times.

Elsewhere, last Thursday's events continue to dominate news, analysis and opinion content across all media today.

The Irish Examiner reports that the Government is to fast-track and expand controversial new laws, including legislation to enable facial recognition technology (FRT), while this thoughtful response from Adam Doyle (the artist known as Spicebag) is well worth a read.

In other news, new domestic violence leave entitlements begin today.

Zen

Your Zen this morning celebrates two weekend wins. The first is the Booker Prize for Paul Lynch's fifth novel, Prophet Song (described as "a dystopian vision of Ireland in the grips of totalitarianism") and the second is Katie Taylor's superb performance on Saturday night to take the title of world super-lightweight champion, with her sights now set on the possibility of a trilogy to be completed at Croke Park.

Have a great week.
