God that really is cheeky.

Picture No. 8...of a Twitter account. Is that a journalists using text speak? Cos I will revoke the title of journalist quickly.

Hope the Mail is ounished so severely they have to disappear for a long long time.

I saw some time ago that it was making a loss, so I wonder how far the UK head-office will allow the circulation to drop before they pull the plug, so that we can be shot of the sh1te forever?

The Mail's a rag just like the Sunday Independant but in fairness the Mail has broke some stories other Irish papers didn't, The Willie O'Dea Lady of the night story and the Frank Fahy "forgetting" twice to declare his shares ina building firm.

The Mail is an anti irish paper historically and i hope the Tribune finds investment and the Mail goes bust.

It's phishing pure and simple and netizens should treat the mail accordingly.

It will be a pity if the Tribune goes , but, it would be equally bad for journalism if the Mail went.

The Tribune had investment by the Indo and how many other papers like the Irish Press have gone after being saved by the Indo.

Great stunt tbh...

if there were enough people buying the tribune in the first place then it wouldnt be in the state its in now!

I honestly dont think this will have much of an effect on the readership of the mail..

Thought it was a brilliant marketing stunt. I knew it wasn't the Tribune but bought it anyway cos it was only a euro. The real sickener would be if you had bought the ordinary Mail on Sunday without the tribune cover cos that was €2

The 'fake' Tribune had no magazine and was €1. The Mail on Sunday had the magazine and was €2. There WAS a difference.

A lot worse newspapers out there, compared to the Mail imo. That said I haven't bought the Irish edition.

I'm ripping mad. I heard that theTribune wouldn't be publishing this week but when I seen the paper in the newsagents today I thought it must be a special one off, of some sort.

Is there any official agency that I can make a complaint to that will hurt the Mail on Sunday.

It certainly wasn't what it said on the tin

Press Ombudsman would probably be the one to talk to.

I always get the Irish Daily Mail because I find it has the best journalists, most of the other papers are of terrible quality

I just dont get Irish newspapers - I havent gotten the Mail but when I get a paper it needs to have good sports coverage.

It looks like legal action may be taken against the Mail over the matter.

No harm but publicity good or bad will only bring attention to this paper which is what they want.
