What the papers say: Monday's front pages

Monday's front pages focus on a range of stories, including the Government preparing for anti-drone defences, to 'shock' and 'disbelief' over the death of a postman in Cork.
The Irish Times reports the Government is planning to fast-track the acquisition of anti-drone defences at Baldonnel military airport in preparation for the visit of EU leaders to Dublin next autumn, when Ireland holds the presidency of the EU.
The Irish Examiner leads with a piece that gardaí are preparing to launch a murder inquiry after a man died in a violent assault outside his home in North Cork in the early hours of Sunday.
The Echo focuses on five overdoses at a Cork prison in 14 months.
