    Tom McGurk and Ed Moloney in, ” The Sunday Business Post” – discussing Martin McGuiness, to be fair has to be a good read.

      I think the days of exclusive journalism is over. Pretty much anyone who has access to a smartphone is now technically a journalist/broadcaster?

    I’m not sure if it’s entirely prominent – it’s just one of the daily type, print newspapers that still exist – despite their right leaning etc.

      Prominence by being first on the list of papers, and shown ‘above the fold’

    The Sunday Indepedent truddling out its finest to spew out their bile and resentment about Martin McGuinness.

    Why doesn’t Eilis O’Hanlon get some therapy over her sister and stop writing this personal angst up as opinion?
    Christ, most people deal with this stuff at the dinner table.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilis_O%27Hanlon

    Eilis is the daughter of Sam and Tess (née Cahill) O’Hanlon, and her uncle was the late Joe Cahill, an IRA volunteer and leader from the 1940s onwards. Her elder sister was the late PIRA volunteer and Sinn Féin politician, Siobhán O’Hanlon. The two sisters remained estranged at the time of Siobhán’s death from breast cancer, as Eilis is staunchly anti-physical force republicanism and heavily critical of Sinn Féin.

    As for O’Connor…

      It’s pretty clear, The Independent’s agenda. Certainly, top of the list seems to be to undermine Sinn Féin at any given chance. Using the death and ultimately the funeral of one its prolific leaders is a cheap, opportunistic shot (sorry for that – but – given the nature, it’s entirely a propos?).

        Who or what is the audience for this Sunday Independent tripe? I am not a Sinn Fein supporter or voter, but is it any wonder FG is now trailing them in the support polls. If FG is counting on the disgusting fat old people on large pensions I see sitting around in expensive restaurants in Glasthule and Dalkey tutt-tutting their approval in their Helly Hansen jackets after 12 O’Clock mass, they’ll soon run out of fans as these old coffin-dodgers die off.

            Those ex-commodores of the Dun Laoghaire yacht clubs are rolling in it. So are their husbands.

            Total racist, prejudiced lady gardens the lot.

            Time for more banana skins outside the restaurants. God, I love the sound of hips breaking in the morning.

            “prejudiced lady gardens”?

            Didn’t DLR return one of the highest YES votes in marriage equality ref? Around 72% if I remember, with the highest being around 74% (and I think that was Dublin South East – not too far away). Might be lady gardens on the whole, but it’s a fairly liberal and tolerant area.

            Doing that the three government FG TDs asked them to do: Vote Yes. You’ve obviously never been to the Mary Mitchell O’Connor love-ins in Juggy’s Well Glasthule. The only place in Ireland where there is valet parking for zimmer frames.

    Twink’s verdicts on Dancing with the Stars in “unmissable”?

    I’m willing to take the risk.

    1. EightersGonnaEight

      Surely “Dancing on the Stairs”? Y’know – the ones leading up to the Four Courts…

      Anyone want to bake a Marzipan and Mortgage Cake to sell in Bushy Park?
