Irish news is the meat and potatoes of IrishCentral.com. And we don't just find Irish news from Ireland, but from all the homes of the global Irish in the United States and around the Irish world. In the U.S., we crawl websites and blogs in New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Miami, Washington D.C., and more than 30 other Irish-American strongholds. The same happens with sites in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Europe, Australia, Argentina and throughout Asia. If there's Irish news out there, we'll find it! And the IrishCentral.com staff will make sure it is written, edited and designed with our very special audience of global Irish in mind. We'll look for the best photos and videos — many of which will be supplied by you, our readers - and lace our coverage with other helpful Irish news links and our own blogs. We define Irish news very simply: It is news that will inform, entertain, amuse, bewilder, enrage or excite the global Irish community. It may bring a curse or a laugh, a tear or a smile — and often, it will simply let you know everything Irish from everywhere Irish. And we make this promise to you: Every reader will have a chance — in every single article — to comment on what they have read and seen. Tell us, and your fellow readers across the Irish world, what you liked and what you didn't. That's Irish news the way it should be: a two-way street where you hear from us and we hear from you.
