I've siad it before and i'll say it again. Any irishman who reads that paper is a fool and any GAA player who writes for it it a traitor to his country.
I have a love for my native language. I'm not a gaeilge nazi and bernard dunnes recent attempt to inspire people to use our language in everyday life is well worth every penny and much better than a 1000 irish teachers trying to teach the current curriculum ( thats not a criticism of the teachers..most would agree with me). The mail has a heading claiming its costing 14euro per gaeilgeor to run the programme. THe article is written by Warren Swords... i'd say he is definitely a connemara native.
If you call yourself irish dont buy this rag

Now Ireland's a very funny place, sir
It's a strange and a troubled land
And the Irish are a very funny race, sir
Every girl's in the Cumann na mBan
Every doggie wears a tri-coloured ribbon
Tied firmly to its tail
And it wouldn't be surprising
If there'd be another rising
Said the man from the Daily Mail
Every bird upon my word
Is singing treble - I'm a rebel
Every hen it's said is laying hand grenades
Over there sir, I declare Sir
And every cock in the farmyard
Stock crows in triumph for the Gael
And it wouldn't be surprising
If there'd be another rising
Said the man from the Daily Mail
Now the other day I travelled down to Clare, sir
I spied in an old boreen
A bunch of busy gooses there, sir
Dressed in orange, white and green
They marched to the German goose step
As they whistled Grann na bheal
and I'm shakin' in me shoes
As I'm sending out the news
Said the man from the Daily Mail
Every bird upon my word
Is singing treble - I'm a rebel
Every hen it's said is laying hand grenades
Over there sir, I declare Sir
And every cock in the farmyard
Stock crows in triumph for the Gael
And it wouldn't be surprising
If there'd be another rising
Said the man from the Daily Mail
Now the whole place is seething with sedition
It's Sinn Fein through and through
All the peelers they are joining local units
And the password's Sinn Fein too
Every doggie wears a tri-coloured ribbon
Tied firmly to its tail
And it wouldn't be surprising
If there'd be another rising
Said the man from the Daily Mail
Every bird upon my word
Is singing treble - I'm a rebel
Every hen it's said is laying hand grenades
Over there sir, I declare Sir
And every cock in the farmyard
Stock crows in triumph for the Gael
And it wouldn't be surprising
If there'd be another rising

The daily mail always said Paddy was backwards and thick so sure enough when they opened their oirish version Paddy proved it by buying it.

The wife buys it a couple of times a week.Horrible paper,horrible attitudes-essentially anti Irish but having said that Joe Brolly writes a decent column and the horse racing and hurling coverage is half decent.
