Can someone please explain this for me?

Do they have agreements with newspapers or the GAA, or do they just take stories from papers an put them up? Surely the latter wouldn't be allowed by papers, so I was wondering what the benefit is to them (the papers)?

As far as I know they just copy the stories, change them slightly (i.e. not word for word) and then put them up. Have seen a few journos moaning on twitter about having their stuff taken and used. Nothing that can be done about it it seems.

I can do better than that. last year I made a pre-match analysis of Down vs Cork on HoganStand. Darragh O'Se copied my entire post and put it in the Irish Examiner as his own column, with no reference to source at all. I was flattered but a bit insulted too. Nice to have your thoughts high enough regarded to be placed in the national press but I was a bit put put to have them stolen and passed off as someone else's own work.

We should start all sorts of rumours on here about injuries etc (completely made up!) and see what journos use them in the media, only to look very fololish!

That seems to be the case alright.
Some of the national papers have complained about thejournal.ie.
They have complained that the journal just lifts its articles from their websites and publish them as is.
They don't have any reporters of their own.
There were threats to bring it to court and to seek an injunction barring them from doing this in future but nothing has come of it.

Strong rumours that Plunkett Donaghy has been seen running up and down Benburb Road at 6am every morning this week. Talk of a starting slot v Roscommon.

That would have been Darragh's ghost writer, though.  If he's watching - hello, horse. Geraghty starts against Dublin. (You didn't hear it here, OK?)
