RTÉ is changing the way they show the Angelus. The People's Angelus will showcase the work of aspiring filmmakers giving people a chance to reflect.

"Talk about a shiver looking for a spine" said Ivan Yates, "If you are getting rid of the Angelus, get rid of the Angelus!"

The Newstalk Breakfast presenter accused the public service broadcaster of making "a cowardly decision" in response to the fact that people no longer relate to the religious moment.

The Irish Independent leads with "New high-powered garda fleet to hunt down garda crime gangs".

"Perverse damages to drug dealer overturned", that on the decision from the court of appeal to overturn a €900,000 damages award against The Sunday World newspaper, with one of the judges describing that award as "perverse".

The Irish Times: "Change in laws to crack down on drink driving" on news that only four in 10 cases result in convictions.

Also in that paper "Bid to release State papers after 20 years, not 30 years" on a proposal for Cabinet amid concern that a British view of key moments in Anglo-Irish relations are becoming accepted history.

The Irish Examiner: "Public supports softer laws on drug use - Oireachtas committee to recommend a Portugese model".

The story of the 24-year-old Brazilian who died on the Aer Lingus plane from Lisbon to Dublin makes all the papers.

The Mirror: "Plane death man's €60,000 drugs in stomach".

The Sun: "Horror on Flight EI 485 - killed by kilo of coke".

The Daily Star: "Facebook pervert groomed and abused girl (14), then said 'Get me your 12-year-old sister for sex'."

The Irish Daily Mail: "We'll go to jail to protect our families' homes", that story on the Carrickmines residents still resisting traveller accommodation in their neighbourhood.

Inside the papers, Chris noticed an The Irish Times story, about a bike gardaí have fitted out as a bait bike. They will put it at different locations around the city after fitting it with a tracking device, allowing officers to chase it if it is stolen and find the thief.
