Thursday's front pages focus on a range of stories, from Catherine Connolly holding a commanding lead in the latest poll to witnesses shedding light on the stabbing of a juvenile in Dublin.

The Irish Times reports that Catherine Connolly holds a commanding lead in the presidential election with just over a week to go before votes are cast, according to the latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A opinion poll.

The Irish Examiner leads with gardaí investigating a fatal stabbing of a boy at an emergency residential home for juveniles in Dublin, and are hoping an eyewitness to the incident can shed light on what happened.

The Echo reports that upgrades to Cork's bus system revolving around a card reader have been delayed to 2026.
