    No. Leinster Leader is a newspaper in its own right and has been around for about 40 years.

    KN is a lad collating news from various actual news sites (such as LL) as well as twitter and various FB groups. Some of the stuff is of dubious quality: there was a house burgled in Naas but the photograph in the KN article was from a news report in Texas.

    Are you certain that's still the case? I thought I read a few months ago that they had moved into the same offices in Naas? I heard LL had bought it.

    Kildare Now (Kildare Post freesheet) and Leinster Leader are owned by Iconic media since earlier this year
