That’s it. I’m not contributing to someone else’s income on a site based on copying and pasting other people’s content.
Of course you guys probably won’t publish this comment.
So I’ll screen-grab it just in case.
You mean a business has the cheek to bring in revenue?
How very dare they.
“You know what. I’m deffo not commenting anymore.”
See ya, but I don’t believe ya.
But how will these comment threads survive without your daily brainfarts and miserablism Jocky? Say you’ll return secretly under a new username. Say you will…

No, no it’s not.
1) Broadsheet didn’t run ads everyday last year
2) Not all ads are paid for (e.g. the Nialler9 and Le Cool ads are house ads and the Pieta House campaign was done for free)
3) Even when ads are paid for, they’re often restricted to just Irish visitors
4) The CPM is nowhere near €14 or €12 – it’s a fraction of that
Interesting. Cheers.
Ah would you ever f**k off – better things to be posting.
This cynicism annoys me!

Cynicism nothing, 250k for something this shite is shocking

Shocking..
Its a huge waste of tax payers money. They could have a least got someone who knows how to scale and crop images for €250k.
Is Enda imagining he’s posing with a Broad Sword again, he loves a bit of make believe!
That’s pg 4 of the image gallery. The home page and others look like any other political or .org type website.
Could have knocked that together on WordPress for about €20k
Seriously bad design. What did they do, take a free joomla theme and someone who thinks the only tag worth using is the name of the site?
Not even having a very basic resize scaling on images? FFS!
If a student gave that in as a web basics project I’d fail them.
Country is a joke.
The EU Presidency Website should be the same template re-skinned and new content uploaded every six months when a new country takes over.
There is no value in having it re-designed and re-built every single time.
There is for the web designers…

Totally agree. Blatant waste of dosh.
It’s probably content managed by untrained staff?
This problem is caused by incompatibility between whatever lightbox plugin they use and the FONT SIZE option on top menu. Click on the Default Size font and it will fix the Aspect Ratio.
Still, fairly bad form for the price of the job.
the div ‘header’ is running across the slides. Fine if they are patterns, but you cant do it with people.
the JobBridger Labour got in hasn’t finished the ecdl yet
WOW! looks like a wordpress site but worse. Money well spent lads
Content is king…
I read recently about a website that was turning over €700,000 a year. Hope its contributors are seeing some of that.
BS?
Well, it’s true that I read it. I can’t vouch for accuracy of the report.

This is nice also:

got this clicking on the Picture Links “The Irish EU Presidency” but actually all those links are failing.
T4′s website looks cheap and tacky. Random gradients and colours, packet icons and big squeaky buttons.
Why don’t they go to proper design studios for stuff like this?
not really cheap and tacky, but a lot of money for what it is.
the three pictures of the flag being raised are superb
Are there web design agencies in Mayo?
