    Excellent. If it collapses it means no more being harrassed in the local by the dregs who go around trying to flog it on Friday nights

    The main reason for political organisations having their own paper is because they are denied space in the conventional press. This once applied and it was necessary for An Phoblacht to exist, but that is no longer the case. The provisonals are an establishment party with similar access to the pages of the national and local papers as any other establishment party.

    Party rags are propaganda rags. Always have been. Always will be. No exceptions. Let it die

    Any removal, of any part of the media is something any democrat should feel saddened by..

    Remember, if we all had the same opinions on everything, the world would be a very dull place

    I am an AP/RN buyer.. so perhaps my opinion will be called biased.. but I also buy the Daily Mail...

    I have no problem trusting my own ability to distinguish between biased reporting.. it is only those who are ignorant enough to be unable to distinguish for themselves, who fear dissenting voices to their own opinions
