Today is future day - the date from Back to the Future II movie - and The Newspaper Review opened with what the people of Dublin expected to see in their future.

On the front pages, there is a common theme.

All of the broadsheets carry photographs from the funerals of the first five Carrickmines fire victims in Bray yesterday.

The Independent has: "Harrowing scenes at funerals for fire victims".

Miriam Lord has a story in The Irish Times: "Five caskets make the saddest of sights".

The Examiner goes with: "Final journey for Carrickmines family".

They also share the common lead story - it is all about the security assessments North and South about the continued existence of the IRA Council.

The Independent goes with: "IRA Army Council runs Sinn Féin says provos - paramilitary review says IRA members believe Army Council oversees Sinn Féin".

The Times: "Only weeks to save government Stormont, Robinson claims".

The Examiner: "No State action on IRA legacy claims - no knee-jerk response despite findings of two seperate reports".

And that paper has a story about pay: "71% of employees set to receive pay rises in 2016".

The Irish Daily Mail: "So do you answer to the IRA, or to voters Mary Lou?".

The Herald: "Jailed for punching a grandmother after mass, a thug who punched a great-grandmother on her way home from mass has been jailed for two years".

The Irish Daily Star: "Pope - I pray for you all" and a picture of the Bray funeral cortege.

The Irish Sun: "Goodbye Mam - Tom (4) out of hospital as parents waked".

The Irish Daily Mirror: "Boy (8) savaged by dog - a schoolboy suffered horrific injuries after being savaged by a dog".

The Examiner has what Ivan said was a picture of real Irish country life: "A man at Kilrush District Court was ordered to pay €250 to the poorbox after being found guilty of a drive-by insult to a garda". 

His solicitor described how his client verbally abused the garda after taking offence to being called: "A big man on a small bike".

In evidence, the garda said he believed offence was intended because he is slightly rotund and was cycling on a child's bike.

But he told the judge he paid the man back in kind by insulting him in kind - for the choice language he used, have a look at the article.

Chris wanted to talk about new evidence that suggests the habit of eating your dinner in front of the TV is dying out. That is because of the growing popularity of services like Netflix, which are watch on demand.

60% of Irish people have never had a sexual health check, according to research published in The Sun. Most do not know the symtoms of STIs.

The Daily Telegraph has an article about childhood obesity and a recommendation from Public Health England that authorities get rid of the Coco Pops monkey, jumbo bags of crisps and chocolate promotions.
