  Ireland on Sunday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ireland on Sunday is a Sunday newspaper in the Republic of Ireland published by Associated Newspapers Ireland Limited, a subsidary of the Daily Mail and General Trust plc.
In 1997, it was expanded into a general broadsheet Sunday newspaper, under the Ireland on Sunday name, with Hayes as editor.
In addition, its usage of content from the Mail on Sunday has led to it being given the nickname Little England on Sunday in certain parts of the Irish media.

 Bloody Sunday (1972) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On Sunday January 30, 1972, in an incident since known as Bloody Sunday, 14 unarmed men and boys were shot dead (one of whom died 4 months later) and 13 others were wounded by British paratroopers after a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in the Bogside area of the city of Derry, Northern Ireland.
Memory of Bloody Sunday overshadows most other violent instances in the history of the recent troubles of Northern Ireland, arguably because it was carried out by the forces of the British Government and not paramilitaries.
Evidence given by Martin McGuiness, the deputy leader of Sinn Féin, to the inquiry stated that he was second-in-command of the Derry branch of the IRA and was present at the march.

 Ireland on Sunday
Ireland on Sunday was launched on September 21st, 1997, with a stated circulation target of 60,000.
Taking Ireland on Sunday's target market of 20-40 ABC1/C2 - it is obvious from their current reading preferences within the Irish Sunday newspaper market, that the Sunday Independent and the Sunday World are perhaps the most likely to be affected by Ireland on Sunday's entry into the market place.
In fact, Ireland on Sunday have already publicly stated that the Sunday Independent readers in particular, are their main targets.

 Low-tax policies created the Tiger (Ireland's Economy)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Ireland they left behind was a land of high tax, high unemployment, high debt, high emigration, one of low growth, little opportunity, and less hope.
Today, one-third of immigrants are returning Irish nationals, and for many the Ireland of their homecoming is unrecognisable from the place they left, not least the low-tax regime that has released energy and enterprise, that has generated self-confidence, created jobs and helped raise living standards.
But since the ICTU now chooses to believe that Ireland's low-tax model was not a factor in the economic boom, it now favours higher taxes to finance higher spending, and feels those higher taxes would not adversely affect economic performance, by damaging employment and growth prospects.

With just one point separating the two sides, Ireland stepped up their effort to produce a try by winger Richard Lane, his powerful running was enough to take him through the despairing tackle of Turnbull.

There are tens of thousands of unwilling Irish emigrants who would trace their decision to leave Ireland to Lynch’s 1977 election manifesto.
It is a matter of considerable irony, given his outright personal thievery, that it was Charles Haughey who eventually righted the state of the nation’s finances by sound fiscal policies of reducing borrowing, paying down debt and encouraging financial services and technology industries.
There have also been quite ludicrous statements that Lynch saved a civil war in Ireland by his actions in 1969 when he refused to send Irish troops over the border and by his subsequent handling of the arms importation issue.

 Ireland Now Mothering Sunday   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday, is quite different from the American Mother's Day and is not celebrated on the same day.
Mothering Sunday is mid-Lent Sunday, the halfway point when the faithful were suffering under the rigours of the Lenten observance, therefore as a gesture of encouragement the church decreed the day as one of special relaxation.
Mothering Sunday seems to spring from the medieval custom of visiting the mother church on mid-Lent Sunday while at the same time there were family reunions with special fare.
