    I've never read the UK version but I've heard for years and on boards.ie about the paper.

    The UK version has anti-Irish editorials but the Irish Daily Mail does not.

    Is that true? Are they vastly different papers and they publish articles they wouldn't publish in Ireland?

    I'm sure News and Media forum would know, I'm interested to know

    Its produced/edited here and, naturally, some stories are reused for the UK version - the IRE office would have access to their servers etc in the UK.

    They will take any story that feel will be relevant to the IRE audience - they'll wash stories (ie "our troops in Iraq" to "British Soldiers in Iraq" etc)

    Naturally they publish different articles - its all about relevance to you audience. The Scottish edition prints different articles to the London Edition so..

    The Online site is the UK edition (nor Irish yarns there) so if your curious - look at their website.

    I'm not sure they have "anti-Irish editorials". More that they have Pro British editorials as you would expect. They are usually anti Europe - particularly France. As the previous poster said they also publish a Scottish Edition and that has a very anti-English slant. Likewise with The Sun and The Mirror. They both have English and Scottish editions that play to their respective readership. During the heyday of the IRA and their terrorism in the UK most British papers had a very anti Irish position but I don't think that's the case nowadays.

    The Mail is virulently anti-Irish but all that copy is removed for the Irish edition.
