Pat Leahy was in for Shane Coleman this morning, and he discussed the Sunday papers with communications director Terry Prone, journalist Sinead Ryan and lecturer Larry Donnelly.

Multiple outlets today were arguing the pros and cons of the refugee crisis, with Larry Donnelly pointing out "that image really did change the game", referring to the the picture and story of the drowned Syrian child in Turkey that rocked the entire world on September 2nd. He stated: "I'm a father myself."

The Irish Mail On Sunday leads with the story of how one third of next month's giveaway Budget will be pumped into a childcare package, worth more than €200 million.

The Sunday Business Post's front page informs us that as Fine Gael and Labour support rises nationwide, business and farmers are set to gain in the upcoming budget.

Meanwhile, the Sunday World leads with the story of Mark Andrew, the airport officer and part-time model who was stopped with €570,000 in his luggage at Dublin Airport during the week.

Also, most of the outlets have covered the return of the Star Wars series to the protected island of Skellig Michael, with Shane turning to Larry and stating "You're American, so you're at least party responsible for Disney's imperialism."

From there, Shane mentions that to this day, there are still tours in Wicklow that follow the path of the movie P.S. I Love You, which lead to this fantastic back and forth:

Terry Prone: "What's P.S. I Love You?"

Sinead Ryan: "It was a movie, from a Cecilia Ahern book."

Terry Prone: "Who?"
