September 11, 2001, marked the day the world changed forever, and the front pages of the Irish papers include images that have strict controls nowadays.

It's been 25 years since the terrible events of September 11, 2001, which saw the world stand still as they watched the terrorist attacks unfold before their very eyes.

Looking back on the day, Newstalk reporter Barbara Holmes joined The Pat Kenny Show to go through some of the newspapers printed in Ireland on September 12, 2001, which she found in her parents house.

She and host Pat Kenny went through each of the front pages and some internal ones, and she commented on how there are so many more controls over what images can be shared nowadays compared to 25 years ago.

She said: "The pictures are quite dramatic. And I've worked in broadcast news for a long time and worked in television broadcast news in the UK and there's quite strict controls on showing these images now.

"They're quite traumatic images when you think about it, because they are the exact moment thousands of people died. And on the inside pages, there's pictures of people falling from the buildings.

"There's a famous picture of a falling man, which has very limited use these days because absolutely they know who the man was and there he is going to his death. And there's pictures of bodies being taken from the rubble.

"There's that famous iconic photo of Father Michael Judge that's on the front page of the Irish Independent.

"And then a couple of days later, I've got some of the weekend papers as well, his funeral is on the front page of the papers over the weekend."

She and Mr Kenny also commented on how reports at the time didn't have all the information we have now, and coverage of what happened on United 93 was often incorrect at first.

Ms Holmes added: "A lot of things are known, but it's quite interesting what wasn't known [at the time].

"If you look [through the newspapers], there's very little mention of United Airlines flight 93.

"There's just one article that I came across sort of mentioning it in detail, and there's speculation in that article that it crashed because perhaps the airsprays closed quickly, it was trying to land at an airfield.

"We now know that it was taken down by the passengers."
