It’s great bringing this to light but having a lot of comments and views on articles will be making money for the Journal. They are loving this.
Articles that would have about five comments now have fifty. Articles with a thousand views now have ten times that. How about no comments and very few views? Like silence when the kicker in rugby takes a kick? Hit them in the pocket!
@theheathen. Just delete the app so! And tell your friends!
Rate the app on Google play store / iTunes and give the reasons why. Don’t think they can delete that.
Call for a revolution face book is way better then the journal check it out real news real comments its better then rag journal.
The “YES” voters getting a taste of the censorship they put on the “NO” campaign. Also now getting to know better their masters, the real people behind their campaign, the globalists, operate and treat their little “YES” tools. These people funded and supported your “YES” vote because it is all about breaking up family and national bonds, to create a more easily manipulated exploitable populace of wage and debt slaves. “YES” voters the willing puppets of the globalists e.g DO’Brien and Sutherland.
They won’t be loving the reviews they’ll be gettin in the App Store lol
What a load of absolute rubbish !! Global conspiracy? ? It’s called Equality. Open your eyes and live in the real world.

What do you think I am talking about?
Is the idea of globalism not real?
The EU should “do its best to undermine” the “homogeneity” of its member states, the UN’s special representative for migration has said.

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan – The Genocide Of The People Of Europe
“The man of the future will be of mixed race. The races and classes of today will gradually disappear due to the elimination of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-negroid race of the future, similar in appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples and the diversity of individuals. Instead of destroying European Judaism, Europe, against her will, refined and educated this people, driving them to their future status as a leading nation through this artificial evolutionary process. It’s not surprising that the people that escaped from the Ghetto-Prison, became the spiritual nobility of Europe. Thus, the compassionate care given by Europe created a new breed of aristocrats. This happened when the European feudal aristocracy crashed because of the emancipation of the Jews [due to the actions taken by the French Revolution]”

And what has this got to do with two normal people of the same-sex marrying and keeping themselves to themselves and sharing in each other’s love for the rest of their lives?
1 – The number of big fat elephants in the room that The Journal refuse to talk about.
Loving your new [name]!!
Thanks! I got the idea from [REDACTED].
1.025%: The interest rate Denis O’Brien was granted on his €500,000,000 loan that The Journal are afraid to report on!
Dennis O Brien has silenced the government and the entire media in Ireland but we still know the truth.
I’ve never been so supportive of RTE but I hope they are given freedom to do a completely over the top expose on DOB’s dodgy dealings with a dodgy bank
Whatsup rte jobs on the line if they dont report
1.25% – [REDACTED]
Is an undercover Garda as in your name one who sleeps around a lot lol…
0 the number of balls at the journal HQ
” The week in numbers”. You know who I’m reminded of when I think of numbers? Denis O’Brien.
Q: Who came home to vote this week?
A: Probably even Maltese tax exiles.
330 – The number of Topaz Stations I’ll be boycotting until their owner resolves the current Constitutional Crisis manufactured by his legal team.
Are you taking the piss now? What about 1.25%? Is that not a number even worth mentioning?
What was the last known dinosaur to go extinct on the island of Malta? The pte-redact-ly of course.
You win the internet this week !
Thanks but no, I wrote ly instead of yl so give it to someone else..
About 6.25% less than you had thought.
The journal.ie is more like the dandy than an actual news website. … The biggest news story this year and not one article on here about it… Dennis pays 1.25 % on loans while everyone else pays 6.5%. Sure why would we need to know
You’d think you’d give “the week in numbers” a miss this week honestly. Specially if you don’t have the cojones to write about the only number the public has been told they won’t hear about.
Absolutely galling that the number one electronic news organisation in the country is completely ignoring the biggest story in the state. Even more galling is the fact that comments relating to that story have been deleted.
@thejournal: You are either operating in the electronic/internet/social media domain, or you’re not.
Thats what I thought too. They weren’t effected by the referendum moratorium, but they’re effected by an injuction… is that right???
A constitutional professor on the radio yesterday stated that it was more likely than non that they would be able to reprint catherine murphys speech verbatim. Some news outlets are going to court on Tuesday to confirm they have permission to show her speech to the Dail, if they’re denied it all hell is going to break loose.
Anyone know of a news app that deals with the news, preferably with a comment section.
Throw up some suggestions and I’ll go check them out, thanks.

Numbers of the Week
€500,000,000 borrowed.

Gonna delete this app now. I thought this was supposed to be a news app, clearly I’ve got it wrong. Boycott the Journal! 1.25%!!!!!
Surge? out of their arse.
The whole gay thing I was reading about in Ireland was disgusting. But now you are not talking about the real story. It’s vomit inducing. Where are the so called heroes? Matt cooper where are you? Fionann sheehan where are you? V Browne where are you? George hook where are you? Oh wait you are friends with Denis! The little drimnagh boy with D4 accent from news talk were are you?? You were very vocal looking for the yes vote (puke). Joe tabloid 500k a year Duffy where are you? Ryan creep tubridy do you talk about this on the late late last night?
A sick country run by an oligarch. Pay your debts and the debts of the elite you bunch of losers!
Meanwhile at least panty bliss and colm o Gorman is happy!
LolZ
wasted their time Bengi the gay bull is now after the heifers. ….The American Baptists are right…..praise the Lord. ….
Question is…how many did come home to vote? That’s the big headline but I cant see the answer.
Click bait
15.12 – the article of the Irish constitution that [redacted] is giving the two fingers to while The Journal ignores it.
