Dublin Inquirer
@DublinInquirer
Dublin's independent local newspaper, since 2015. Reader-funded through subscriptions. Wednesdays and Fridays online, monthly in print.
- The cover of our print edition this month, by photographer Graham Martin, a pastiche of the popular "Doors of Dublin" poster and postcards – updated for 2019.
- When a homeless man pitched a tent at the International Protection Office because he felt unsafe sleeping on the streets and hoped for protection, they called the guards on him. Gardaí moved him on and, he says, they destroyed his tent. (March 2023)
- Census data raises questions about the narrative that landlords are fleeing the market. There are more rented homes now than there were in 2016, it shows. Even as there are fewer registered tenancies, according to the Residential Tenancies Board.
- We may not be a major global news organisation (yet), but we don't take ads from oil/gas companies either, by the way. In fact, we've stopped selling ads entirely. We're reader-funded, because we feel it keeps us focused on serving readers by producing the best journalism we can.“The Guardian will no longer accept advertising from oil and gas companies, becoming the first major global news organisation to institute an outright ban on taking money from companies that extract fossil fuels.” A good start, who will take this further? theguardian.com/media/2020/jan…
- Today @IndexCensorship filed a media-freedom alert to @coe re: a defamation action that's – we believe wrongly – being taken against us. We believe in media’s right to inform th public on matters of public interest & will defend public-interest journalism go.coe.int/YBks1
- We're very pleased to be launching Counciltracker.ie today, where you can check what Dublin city councillors have been voting on since 2014, and how. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make it possible! dublininquirer.com/2018/04/17/int…
- In Swords, protestors are targeting a company that’s helped ship US military gear to Israel. After digging by The Ditch, and pressure from protestors, ASL Ireland issued a statement Friday meant to appease. Protestors say it’s not good enough.
- We are thrilled to learn just now that our editor, @LoKapila, has been shortlisted for European Journalist of the Year!Shortlist of Nominations for the European Journalist of the Year 2019 are out! #europeanjournalistoftheyear2019 prixeuropa.eu/news/2019/10/0…
- Social tenants living in a build-to-rent apartment complex in Drimnagh say their kids are blocked from the playground there. “It’s not fair at all,” says Ciaran McCabe. “You feel like it’s us and them. It should be all just us.”
- We know these are tough times for many of our subscribers. If you can't afford your subscription just now, but want to keep reading, let us know and we'll set you up with a free digital subscription until things take a turn for the better for you. [email protected].
- We're often surprised to find out people think we're a big company. Actually, we have only three full-time staffers, two part-timers, a one-room office in Crumlin, and had turnover last year of about €142,000. 1/
- Today we thought we'd share a few things about who we are and what we're up to. In case there's anyone out there who's curious. So, here goes: 1. We are about five years old, launched in June 2015 by @LoKapila (with some help from @samtranum and others).
- We're awfully pleased and proud to see that Dublin Inquirer journalists @LaoiseNeylon and @ShamimMalekmian have made shortlists for the Justice Media Awards 2022! 1/
