    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On Sunday, September 27, Ireland played one of the most controversial international football matches ever. The Republic of Ireland faced Israel in the UEFA Nations League in Debrecen, Hungary, where Israel has staged a number of its UEFA home fixtures because of security concerns connected with the Israel–Gaza conflict. Ireland won the match 3–0, but much of the debate in Ireland had focused not on the result, but on whether the game should have been played at all. Sign up today to get daily, up

    Ireland's largest lake under threat (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Lough Neagh is one of Ireland’s great natural wonders. Covering nearly 400 square kilometers, it is the largest freshwater lake in Ireland and Britain and supplies about 40 percent of Northern Ireland’s drinking water.

The Fleadh Cheoil is an annual festival and competition organized by Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, an organization founded in 1951 by traditional musicians and advocates of Gaelic culture who sought to promote Iris

    Mayo finally ditch albatross (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There are people who insist that modern Irish society is too educated to believe in curses and superstitions. These people have never spent much time in Ireland. The country's biggest talking point this week was the legendary Mayo curse, finally laid to rest when the players of County Mayo defeated those of County Kerry in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship at Croke Park.
