Go into any bar in Turners Cross/Barrack St/Shandon St, and some guy in a Celtic shirt with a guzzy ete and a whispy tasche will invariably show up selling it!

Try the Celtic-bedecked pub next to Nancy's on Barrack Street. I reckon that's a good spot!

You can buy an annual subscription for €65 (cheques or postal/money orders only it seems) from the An Phoblacht website http://www.anphoblacht.com/subscriptions

Why on Earth would you want to buy such a propaganda drenched rag? If you support the republican cause, make a donation is my advice. <speaking from a politically neutral viewpoint> I know that most newspapers etc. these days have a vendetta, but that particular one just takes the biscuit. It's a sickening read...

Either way. He asked where not what it is in your opnion.
Go to your Sinn Fein office in cork,they have to have one there.

A guy used to sell it on Patrick St outside what used to be Burgerland and then that card shop. I have definitely seen him there in the past 6 months on a Saturday.


P.S Its a piece of trash

LOL sickening? Surely for a Nationalist it can't be that bad!!

Thanks, I prob won't be bothered though, I just wanted to see what it was like but I might buy it from there someday, thanks loads!

Hi Sega, it's worth a look alright, just for the entertainment value

Maybe Poblachtach will lend u a copy... Joking aside, as someone said, stand in any pub in Barrack St. and they'll come to you. SF has a fairly large following down 'ere with two local councillors, and a few local lads do the rounds of the pubs every week, no availability problem there.

Out of pure interest, is it not available in newsagents?

Me.

Me.

Tried Easons and a load of other places, actually one day I was in Ballincollig (God knows why) and I went into a "newsagent" and asked the one behind the counter

Me-"Do you sell An Phoblacht?"

Her-"Sorry??!!"

Me-"An Phoblacht"

Her-"What things are you looking for?"

Me-"An Phoblacht-it's a newspaper!!(duh)"

Her-"Sorry no"

So if the shop assistant has never even heard of it you best steer clear of newsagents!

The city library usually holds one for the public to read in the reference section if anyone is interested.

Personally, I wouldn't bother, it's not worth the effort reading. Though, to be fair, I'd place the same label on the Examiner

I have to agree with you there, more of an Irish Times man myself

Nothing trashy about the size of a newspaper anymore. The "red-tops" will always appeal to the LCD, but you now see "quality" broadsheets in tabloid form.

In France, the biggest selling daily quality Le Monde has always been tabloid sized and I think several other European quality papers are similar. My daily read, The Guardian is switching to an "inbetween" size soon I think.

Since The Independent went tabloid sized, I am more likely to buy it, especially if I'm commuting. As for the Irish Indo, I refuse it even when it's being handed out for free on campus!

Le Monde isn't tabloid sized. I was reading about this recently when filing away old articles in the library. It's called a Berliner format . It's bigger than a tabloid, but still a lot smaller than a broadsheet.

Edit: Apparently the Guardian is switching to the Berliner format this September. That could be interesting. Tabloid vs Berliner for "broadsheets".

I remember it because there was a debate over the tabloid size versus Le Monde's format. It was quite interesting actually. Well, for me anyways
