Advantages: News from home that is not in UK papers

Disadvantages: too expensive for the amount of content

'The Voice Of The Irish In Britain' was the slogan that used to adorn the front page but not any more.

We have had another price hike on this publication, it now costs eighty pence and the paper boasts on the front page 'we still offer great value for money, with 52 pages packed with news, sport, features, entertainment and top columnists every week'. I could have sworn the paper was bigger than that.

Since it's relaunch around a year ago (with a coincidental price increase), the news content has decreased and the adverts have seemed to have increased, mostly for ferry companies. The entertainment features seem to favor London and the southern part of the country. Don't the Irish up north count anymore? After all, that is where most of us came into this country from.

With that aside, the news paper does stick up for the Irish with great news coverage, what's left of it.
