    Ive just been thinking right, we all pay our taxes to them people in RTE and yet despite this the media and news does be dominated by Dublincentric stuff. Everything from the news to the weather to the sitcoms is based around Dublin with not much else focused on the rest of the country. Theres times when you just have to say ah sure this kind of thing isnt on at all, and do something about it.

    Do you think its time to protest about the Dublincentric orientation of the media like them people protesting about the IMF and public sector.

    Dublin is the only village / town / city in this country..............everywhere else is just baron wasteland populated by muck mountain men who sprouted out of the ground like potatoes.

    When it comes to Irish Media, I refer it to Republic of Dublin.

    I think you'l find that the majority of 'our taxes' come from Dublin

    Proud to be Engerlish in that case. Beats being a bogman with a chip on both shoulders.

    To be honest a very large percentage of the population live in the Dublin area. It is also the capital city so it is understandable that there is quite a large amount of attention given.

    We are much too small a country to have regional television stations but there are plenty of good local radio stations (and some crap ones as well) for wherever you are in the country.

    Nobody likes to hear about culchies. Not even other culchies. If they did they'd be on the news.
