The newspaper is today considered the Irish edition of the Mail On Sunday . However this was not always the case. The newspaper was originally founded in 1996 by former County Meath Gaelic Football player, Liam Hayes , as a sports-only newspaper, ''The Title''. In 1997, it was expanded into a general broadsheet Sunday newspaper, under the ''Ireland on Sunday'' name, with Hayes as editor. In 2000 the newspaper was sold to Scottish Radio Holdings . A year later, having switched to tabloid format, it was sold to Daily Mail And General Trust . Since then it has been relaunched again, with a format similar to the ''Mail on Sunday''. The newspaper has come under much criticism recently with its constant giveaways of CDs and Books with the newspaper, in order to attract readers. However other Irish Sunday newspapers also offer free CDs from time to time, in the case of Ireland on Sunday the giveaways are regular rather than occasional, as in other publications. In addition, its usage of content from the ''Mail on Sunday'' has led to it being given the nickname ''Little England on Sunday'' in certain parts of the Irish media. |
