Tuesday's front pages focus on a range of stories, from an increase in money laundering to the Taoiseach saying Ireland should look at nuclear power.

The Irish Times reports that money laundering crime has surged in the Republic to unprecedented levels, with thousands of cases now coming to the attention of gardaí annually for the first time.

The Irish Examiner reports Taoiseach Micheál Martin has suggested that Ireland should “examine seriously” the prospect of introducing nuclear energy.

The Echo reports that new figures show a more than doubling in the number of Cork people seeking help paying their household bills.
