    Today the Irish Mail on Sunday has hit the newsagents for
    the first time. There has been much talk about the move by the Mail group to unite Ireland on
    Sunday
    (Ios) and the import the Mail on Sunday, into one as the Irish Mail on
    Sunday
    .

    Ted Verity, editor in chief at Associated Newspapers Ireland,
    told the Irish Times that it’s a matter of “getting synergies between both Mail
    brands in Ireland”.
    And that “makes a lot of sense” on those terms.

    Some commentators have taken different views. With the IT
    reporting
    that “many advertising observers believe the name change is occurring
    solely because recent sales have been so disappointing” (Verity counters this
    with the fact they haven’t been promoting the title in the run up to the
    change), and others including the Sunday Turbine’s Tribune’s Richard Delevan have
    questioned the re-brand/synergy/whatever after the “40m or so invested in
    building the IoS brand”, and a while ago Adam Maguire commented "The funny thing is that the (Ireland) on Sunday is the more successful
    of the two publications, so wouldn’t logic dictate that the daily
    edition should be renamed in like with the IoS rather than vice versa?". More discussion at boards.ie’s News/Media.

  1. I read your newspaper every Sunday and enjoy it. Please help with information regarding a misprint on last Sunday 26th Jan issue.Style supplement with Beyonce on the cover. On page 4 I’ve seen a dress I simply must have but the description underneath relates to the previous dress. The one I’m interested in is a beautiful long denim dress. Please email me the info on this. I would really appreciate it.
    Many Thanks,

  2. Your Opinion on Sunday February 11th 2007 was spot-on. My own story is on the above website, but it is as nothing compared to what is happening in the story on http://www.justbelfast.com
    This story is evil and concerns the plunder, yes, the plunder of a wealthy mentally ill Patient in Care of the Supreme Court in Northern Ireland. The highest powers here, including judges, have assisted in the bleeding of this man’s wealth and there is not a thing anyone can do about it.

    Hello,
    I won the Bare Bones crossword on Sunday, Dec. 30th 2007, and as yet have not received the thesaurus. Is this being looked into, or did you lose my address.
    Thank you.
