    Eh, how is it xenophobic exactly?

    Why should we give money to people who broke the law to get here and continue to break the law by remaining here?

    As far as I'm aware we don't.

    Another classic edition of the Connaught Terrible had a highly Joe-Duffyesque feature about drugs in Mayo and how awful it all was and how we should all be supporting the Gardai who are doing a great job and how awful it all is and how drugs are bad and did I mention how awful it all is......

    On the facing page was an item about the ancient tradition (TM)of Poitin making and how the guards should lay off them and how it really should be legal because sure what harm are they doing........

    Morgan Kelly in the Irish times said this would happen.

    Yup, he sure is brilliant at predicting something that has been happening for years will happen.

    You don't get shot for crossing the Afghan border.

    You don't get a job, a drivers licence, a place to live etc just by arriving here.

    No, we are not a country in debt because of whatever abuse of the system does actually occur, we are in debt because of the decisions of a group of irish citizens, born and bred.

    That would mean that its not "telling it like it is!" but rather 'talking through ones hole'.

    And I might add that the message in question actually concerned America, when it first appeared......

    Wasnt the Echo single-handedly made by one man from Castlebar?

    I think so, think he was a taxi man in Castlebar. He had a vendetta out on all boy racers in Castlebar. Remember once he wrote how they chased him out of the tesco car park when he tried to interview them, what a chancer.

    And as for the Connaught Telegraph, for a Mayo newspaper it rarely has Mayo-wide news apart from sport and the local news. All the main news is always Castlebar related, which is probably why no one outside Castlebar actually reads it.

    How about that African woman who refuses to go home and goes to every court possible? Yes the Irish are muppets for putting up with that.

    The Mayo News is the same, all the articles are West Mayo focused. Even the Western People is very Ballina focused. Us East Mayo people are left with no paper to call our own.

    So one woman going to court makes an e-mail about America suddenly true about Ireland in all its detail (even though 99% of those details are wrong...).....

    Its a fairly crowded marketplace especially with the Sligo and Roscommon papers pushing in on our territory. Any suggestions for a name though?

    That's a shame because the Western is one of the few decent local papers that serves the area.

    Connaught Telegraph is Irelands oldest paper. And a load of shíte, always factual and spelling mistakes. It's full of local small time court cases, it used to be terrifying being a young fella who was ever caught with a ten spot or caught knacker drinking too many times because they'd stick the story up. Wouldn't be named but people would know and gossip, smalltown bs
