Same reason the Sun is the most popular newspaper in the 26.   Half the population are brain-dead west Brits.

The most popular newspaper in the 26 is the Irish Independent, followed by the Irish Times.
But sure don't let reality spoil a rant.

Granted but you obviously  have to add the readership of The Star. Both combined far outsell the Independent or Times.  Sad reflection on ROI.  At least Liverpool got rid of the Scum Sun.

Why combine those two tabloids? The Star has a contection with the independent not with the Sun.

Cos they 2 anti-Irish Brit rags that should have no place on the shelves of an Irish newsagent.

These publications are not to my taste. However,the Irush editions have quite a different editorial line from their English versions. A fair amount if the celebrity shite about Colleen Rooney will be the same, plus a few pictures of the typhoon in Japan, but there is Irush content too.
You might as well say that if someone is bollix that hús cousin is a bollix also.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

They are the same publications tailored to suit the market. The same editing staff who approve anti-Irish Brexitvl lies/propaganda to sell copies in GB remove same stories and replace with trash Irish stories to sell copies in ROI

No, the Irish editors keep the bits they want and add other stuff.
Now of course some of the profits go back to the rags.

Victory celebrations on the backs of lorries have been taking place in every County for years. Like pitch invasions they have always had the potential for accidents causing injury or worse. Why have the G.A.A. not taken action to try and prevent this, as they have done with pitch invasions in Croke Park? Are insurance premiums for Croke Park a greater concern than the safety of G.A.A. members?
Never underestimate the power of complaining

Is the Telegraph not a Unionist paper so play to your audience.
I have more respect for a man
that says what he means and

The GAA pay the premiums for Croke Park and they own the ground. They don't own Willie the Cattle dealers truck or pay his insurance so they have no say.

Hundreds of grown ups at what looks like a school assembly, including dozens of people dressed as what looks like Santa Claus, staring at an aul doll reading from a piece of paper.
