  Encyclopedia: Irish Examiner
The Irish Examiner (Formerly: Cork Examiner, The Examiner) is an Irish national daily newspaper which primarily circulates in the Munster region surrounding its base in Cork, though it is available throughout the country.
Its main national rivals are The Irish Times (broadsheet) and the Irish Independent (both broadsheet and tabloid editions).
The paper was founded by John Francis Maguire under the title the Cork Examiner in 1841 in support of the Catholic Emancipation and tenant rights work of Daniel O'Connell.

 Irish Examiner trashes Archiseek.com with made up story - National Arts and Media - Indymedia Ireland
The Irish Examiner has published an article (July 7) which (in a sidebar) takes seven quotes from the forums on Archiseek.com out of context and uses them to back up its claim that Archiseek.com is anti-OAP.
It is ironic that the Examiner has trawled through the thread for rare comments by now discredited members of the forum when journalists from their sister publication, the Evening Echo, post to the site adding more information.
For The Irish Examiner to stoop to such levels is very disappointing to me. Freesheets in general are very prone to this type of sensationalism, but one would expect a so-called national newspaper to be more circumspect in throwing accusations around - even if they only published it in their local edition.

 Irish Examiner - News From Ireland - 28, December, 2000
WHEN the Irish Tenors walk on to the stage at the Green Glens, Millstreet, tonight and the RDS Main Hall on Friday and Saturday, there won’t be any sulks, no temperamental tantrums, no ego, no despairing gestures, no dramatic tossing of the heads, just three normal guys singing their hearts out for packed auditoriums.
The Irish tenor is not only a recognised, almost independent genre, it is also a highly lucrative one.
They played their first concert in the RDS in October 1998 and as they say, the rest is history.

 Irish Examiner Reports on Dublin Embassy Appeal Following Liu Chengjun's Death | Clearharmony - Falundafa in Europe
Following the news of Liu Chengjun‘s death on the 31st December 2003, Irish Falun Gong practitioners held a peaceful appeal outside the Chinese Embassy in Dublin.
Like similar appeals around the world, they demanded those responsible for his death to be brought to trial and punished for their crimes.
In an article, entitled China Protest, "The Irish Examiner" explained the reason for the appeal: “The protesters claimed Chengjun Liu died after months of torture and abuse in a labour camp in the northeast of China.

 Danny Morrison - Irish Political News - Danny's article in the Irish Examiner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The background to the outbreak of conflict in the North (fifty years of unionist misrule) was to be muted and, instead, the IRA was to be held responsible for provoking British state repression and the loyalist campaign of assassination.
As the Irish Attorney-General he should have known better and known that his remarks would be picked up and published in Bogota, as they were.
It deprived Irish people of one side of an argument, which thus exaggerated the moral case of another side to the conflict – those for partition and the union with Britain.

 Irish Refugee Council
The Irish Refugee Council (IRC) welcomes the provision in the Irish Nationality and Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2004 that children born to parents living in Ireland without restriction - which includes persons already recognised as refugees - will continue to be entitled to Irish citizenship. However, the IRC is concerned that children born before their parents' refugee status has been recognised may not enjoy the same entitlement.
The Irish Refugee Council is disturbed by the raft of amendments to the Immigration Bill 2002, proposed at Dáil Committee stage, at short notice and with minimal scope for input from relevant players.
However, it is clear that, although all Irish children are born equal, the Government may treat certain children differently, despite our commitments under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, because their parents were not born in Ireland" said Ms.
