    Bought the Irish Times in Spain today. Paid 3.75 for same. No TV listings do the people realise we can watch Irish TV on the Internet. I think most people living abroad are more interested in TV listings than the list of runners in Newcastle, Redcar and Windsor which you published today. It's no wonder many shops do not sell it for some months during the year.

    Further, a quick perusal of the paper before purchasing would have confirmed.

    You started a thread to complain about the Irish Times having no TV listings...? For real?

    Still wanted the paper for other articles, interesting, I never thought I would get such negative reaction by stating a simple fact.

    Is Vincent Browne a liability to the nation? Yes, I think he is, in his continuous crusade against the Government he is undermining confidence in our leaders and he never brings any sense of optimism about our future prospects.

    In his latest tirade he demands to know what conditions if any were available to us before we took to exit the "bailout" without a "safety net". I am glad that nobody would provide him with this info as he would only use it in a negative way.

    At one stage some time ago I used to make a point of getting the Irish Times every Wednesday to read his column, but alas no more as I am completely disillusioned by his rantings and ravings.

    Maybe like Michael O'Leary, Vincent Browne will have a Damascus Road conversion and add some sweet desert wine to his water and help to bring a much needed feel good factor to the country at least by acknowledging the positives where they exist and there are many "for those who have eyes to see".

    Yes, after paying 3.75 I expected TV and Radio listings, I had no interest in contacting The Irish Times directly and I know that media publishers read these threads. I consider it quite an intelligent to do.

    By the way for the benefit of other continental readers this only happens with the Saturday edition. Irish papers are fighting hard to keep a presence in continental newsagents and many of us would like to be able to have the opportunity of buying them.

    And presumably no TV either.

    Saturday's TV listings along with the listing for the following six days are in the weekend magazine which in the normal course would not be included in foreign versions of the paper.
