IrishCentral announces new community newspaper division

The owner of IrishCentral, Niall O’Dowd, announced that the Home & Away and Irish Emigrant print newspapers have joined this new division.

AN ONLINE PUBLICATION aimed at Irish emigrants has announced the creation of its new community newspaper division.

Niall O’Dowd, the owner of IrishCentral, has said that the Home & Away and Irish Emigrant newspapers will merge under IrishCentral and continue to publish under their own names.

O’Dowd’s Home and Away publication is published in New York, while Connell Gallagher’s Irish Emigrant is published in Massachusetts.

O’Dowd said on IrishCentral.com that this is “a perfect alliance for both companies” and will help to “further introduce a whole new generation to their Irish roots and wonderful heritage”.

He plans for the two companies to join forces and expand their product outside of the northeast of the USA.

    Best wishes Niall for your new venture. I hope you will still have time and energy to press for quality representatives for the Irish Diaspora. I would be very happy to see you and other people like you taking an active part in the affairs of our country.

    indeed, and keeping fully abreast of what’s going on here too. Gave a guy a lift this evening – just back after 10 years out of the country and he said that he wasn’t aware AT ALL at how bad it was here. He read about some of it online but he said that the realisation really hit home since he actually came back. We do need a strong voice abroad as well as at home, and here’s hoping those who have emigrated keep pressure on the gov back here. email is such a quick easy free way to do so…. just google their names and you’ll find contact details……. so best of luck to Niall – great work.

    I like Niall. He’s done a lot for the Irish community in Boston and he has always been proud of his roots.
