I visited two newsagents in Dublin this morning. Neither stock "The Dubliner" and I don't know anyone who has ever bought it. In fact I think it might be a free-sheet, based on advertising revenue.
In any case its thrash and best left in the bin. On with the game.
You may be interested to know that Ireland's premier radio phone-in show today is devoted almost entirely to condemnation of the article and calls for the magazine to be boycotted by advertisers and readers alike. People are outraged over it and the damage it has done to Ireland's image and reputation for hospitality. It is seen as a kick in the face to the thousands of people who have been working hard for a long time to make this a memorable event for all concerned.
Most people (like me) have never heard of "The Dubliner" and after this, I doubt it will be producing many more editions.

Excellent! That's the kind of reaction people should have to a smut rag like that. Kudos to the Irish!! (except the Dubliner, of course)

The Irish people and Ireland have nothing to apologize for. I think most of us understand the bottom-feeding ethics of the tabloids. We have a few of them here, too.
