Minister attacks newspaper

February 2nd, 2005 | by aobaoill |

It seems like McDowell has mainly provided free publicity for the new Daily Ireland newspaper:

Rinne an tAire Dlí is Cirt, Michael Mc Dowelll ionsaí fíochmhar ar an nuachtán úr laethúil, Daily Ireland a bheidh ar díol ar fud na tíre inniu. Dúirt sé gur chosúil an nuachtán le foilsiúcháin bholscaireachta na Naitsíoch. Dúirt sé gurb iad Sealadaigh an IRA atá ag tabhairt tacaíochta don fhiontar úr seo. Ach deir foilsitheoirí an nuachtáin nach bhfuil bunús dá laghad leis na líomhaintí suaracha seo.

For those without Irish, the Irish minister for justice has claimed that this new newspaper is being backed by the IRA. The publishers have rejected the ‘petty allegations’ – not that that’s saying anything.
