Echo and Examiner because of good Sports and local stuff, parents always read the deaths first!
Irish Times because it IMO is the best Irish paper.
Indo metro version is handy for reading in work or when on bus/train.
Tribune is the only Sunday paper I can tolerate, and only just. Sunday papers in Ireland are very poor.
Irish Times cos best overall paper in the country.
Irish Mirror on fridays sometimes for eL footie
Tribune cos feck all else, Sunday Business Post for that different angle or Observer (brilliant monthly sports mag) on sundays. Very odd time get Sunday Times.
Hate Indo, Sindo etc...
Irish Times: Good news coverage and two good Crosswords + The Ticket
Sunday Tribune: Good news, a light read on a Sunday morning with your cuppa, poor on sports though.
Sunday Times when it's raining and I'm hungover, lasts all Sunday and beyond.
Might get The Star/The Mirror on a Friday for Dolan's Column, the EL pull-out respectively, but more likely to scan through them in the shop and but the I.T. instead
Independent usually, normally don't pick up anything else. Read it online more than I buy it though.
Times the odd (very odd) time though.
Not too fond of any tabloids.
Derry Journal, best local paper in the city.
Irish News, it's good for regional news, but they sometimes fill the pages with pointless articles on stuff political parties are complaining about.
Sunday Tribune, by far the best Sunday paper, can't stand the rest of them.
Derry News & Derry Journal
Irish Star only for the EL coverage, I dont buy British tabloids other than that.
I only buy a paper when I'm stuck for something to read in a pub/restaurant. Get my news from the Internet. If I was going to buy a paper, it'd be the Irish Times and/or The Gruandian. Filthy liberal I'm afraid.
The Star is singularly the worst newspaper I've ever set eyes upon. It's a rag, I wouldn't wipe my arse with it. The Sunday Sport is a better newspaper.
adam
the weekly sport
great sports section in this paper ;)
I work in a Press Office so I get them all for free. :)Quote:

Worst papers -
Irish Times - Self satisfied, smug liberal, panini eating, Ranelagh coffee shop twaddle.
Sunday Indo - Irish hating, greed loving, neo-Unionist nonsense.
Evening Herald - No need for a comment.

You havin' a laugh? Star looks like a school paper in its layout. Wheres its foreign reporters? Star like all the tabloids just jump from one sensational story to the next. Its not as if you'll learn anything from it...Quote:

The Bray People, always go to the court section to see who's been up this wek ! :D
I think you'll find that both the Derry news and Journal ARE british tabloids! :DQuote:

The Donegal Democrate is great for finding out who was caught phishing on the main street at 4am Saturday morning! :cool:
rovers fans buy the star cause there aren't too many big words and lots of pictures ;)
i get the times on my desk at work and have to say it is a great paper overall, but the guardian is the best of em all i think.
The Tuam Herald or the Enniscorthy Guardian. Not bad papers, no messing!!
But there is correct use of the English language, the right punctuation and capital letters where necessary. :rolleyes:Quote:
