    Wonder why the story about the dog attack didn’t include the pertinent information that it was an XL bully that attacked the child.

    WHY AND HOW DOES THE JOURNAL MAKE MONEY AND STAY ACTIVE BY CONSTANTLY CLOSING THE COMMENT PAGE, THIS IS A FORM OF CENSORSHIP AND DICTATORSHIP WHICH DEFEATS THE MEANING OF FREE SPEECH AND A FREE COUNTRY. CENSOR AS YOU WANT BUT DON’T STOP FREE OPINIONS.

    What’s the story with the current health minister Stephen donnelly? It’s quite obvious he’s failed in the job we pay him to do. Charlatan is all he is. Ff ail politics yet again. Money for old rope,jobs for the boys is alive and well in 2024. The never-ending story..

    @Lulu:
    Yet according to Reuters digital report (2023) it has maintained it’s position as the second most popular digital news source in Ireland.
    RTE on 24%, the Journal on 16% and a bunch of others around 10%.
    Upset about closed comments? Blame libel laws.
