    Hi, not sure where to ask, move if its wrong place.

    Is there something like the big main Irish web portal? I mean a website with all the big national news plus some show biz.info, weather etc?

    I've never come across. (maybe only yahoo.ie, but its not only for ireland)
    For Poland there is lat least five websites like this:

    http://www.onet.pl/
    http://www.gazeta.pl/0,0.html
    http://www.interia.pl/
    http://www.wp.pl/

    Could you please link what you have here. Thanks!

    It might be www.boards.ie

    I wouldn't recommend it though, the members are all a bunch of nutters from what I've heard.

    It is a internet forum from what I've heard. :pac:

    Showbiz crap can be found in celebs, gigs and events and other places
    And there's even a weather forum!

    I am not interested in showbiz crap or any other crap :pac: I am just curious what you've got here and kind of websites I am used too from where I come from have like ALL together. There are also chat rooms and much more, but I couldn't find anything like it in irish version.

    RTE, as much as I moan about them, have one of the best websites in the country imo.

    There are very few .ie's that I can think of at all, I'd be interested in the answer to this one. What are the Irish into.

    joe.ie
    boards.ie
    entertainment.ie
    rte.ie

    I love Onet - it's a brilliant website!! I suppose the closest thing we have here is RTÉ's website.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 845 ✭✭✭softmee


    Is there any good active chat rooms? (I don't mean dodgy and empty -because that's all I've found :D)

    Private forums on Boards seem to be the next generation of chat rooms for Irish users from what I've seen.

    I only included top 3 :P (4 if you could .ie but not irish; google.ie) - Especially since the block of Irish sites broke up there (ebay).

    There are some which are .com but irish. I don't like that..

    Not being a native Polish-speaker, I didn't notice this. :D I'm just learning Polish and it has a big range of different articles so I find it good for reading to practice my Polski.

    Daft.ie used to be a lot higher a few years ago!

    I've often wondered why boards.ie don't operate a chat room. There's clearly a demand (what with all the 'random chat' threads on here) and the things take very little effort to set up.

    Too hard to moderate is the simple answer. Plus it would take massive amounts of traffic away from the main site. The Random chat or Off Topic threads tend to be a good compromise.
