Good morning colleagues,

As we kick off a new week here's a look at the front pages for Monday 30th April.

As talks got underway between unions and DPER officials on Friday afternoon, this is how the Irish Times and RTE were reporting it, the former leading with ISME's pavlovian response to any meeting between unions and DPER officials.

The story also featured on RTE's SixOne news, and Bernard Harbor spoke to Ivan Yates on Newstalk (ISME was there too). On Saturday this is how the Examiner, Irish Times and Indo reported the story.
