The Front Pages
Here’s what the main headlines look like this morning:
‘FAI fills the best seats at 25pc of ‘new’ price’ – the Irish Independent.
‘US pastor cancels burning of Koran after mosque deal’ – the Irish Times.
‘Quinn Insurance confirms likely double-digit hike in premiums’ – the Irish Examiner.
The Indo is continuing to stamp its foot with the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) after they revealed premium ticket sales difficulties for the new Aviva Stadium this week.
In the latest development, the national broadsheet reports that most of the top-priced seats are occupied by clients who paid less than a quarter of their current value. The report puts intensifying pressure on FAI Chief Executive John Delaney to come up with answers.
Meanwhile, Quinn Insurance, which provides cover for one in five motorists in Ireland and insures thousands of homes, has confirmed it is likely to increase premiums by double-digit figures in the coming months.
