What the papers say: Saturday's front pages
The Westminster election is the main story across Saturday's front pages.
The Irish Times and Irish Examiner report on Keir Starmer and the Labour Party getting a landslide win in the UK general election, prompting hopes in Dublin of a "reset" in British-Irish relations.
The Irish Independent claims Starmer's victory will help "ease Ireland's migrant crisis".
The Belfast Telegraph and The Irish News focus on the fall of Ian Paisley in North Antrim and the "changing of the guard" across the North.
The Irish Daily Mail reports that RTÉ tried to resist a €150,000 cap on exit packages.
An Irish lotto winner has died while on holiday in Turkey, according to the Irish Daily Mirror and Irish Daily Star.
The fallout from Labour sweeping into power dominates the British front pages.
“Work of change begins” is used by The Independent, FTWeekend and The Times, while “Starmer gets to work” features in the headline of the Daily Star after Labour won a majority of 176 in the UK general election.
