The news of a man's death and a girl's injuries following a shooting incident in a supermarket in Carlow town dominates the front pages of Irish newspapers on Monday.

The Irish Times leads with an internal report finding that a “negative and toxic” work culture at a hospital run by Children’s Health Ireland (CHI), in which multiple staff complained of “unprofessional and disruptive behaviour from consultants”, contributed to the undermining of care and treatment for sick children.

The death of a young runner at the finishing line overshadowed the Cork City Marathon, the Irish Examiner reports.

The Echo leads with Cork's deputy lord mayor saying he was "short of words" after the death of the young runner during the Cork City Marathon.

Terrified shoppers fled after a gunman started shooting in a busy retail centre on Sunday afternoon, the Irish Independent reports, adding that the lone gunman was declared dead at the scene last night.

The Irish Daily Star also leads with the shooting incident in Carlow town.

The Irish Daily Mirror reports that the man involved in the Carlow shooting incident opened fire then turned the weapon on himself.

The Irish Daily Mail adds that the bomb team was called in as the gunman died by "self-inflicted wounds" after a "burst of fire" in a busy shopping centre.

Rishi Sunak had "information" to make Casement funding decision before the election, according to new files, the Belfast Telegraph reports.
