Thesun.ie is the online edition of The Irish Sun, Ireland’s most popular newspaper and a member of the Press Council of Ireland.

The Irish Sun cares about quality of life, the kind of world we live in, and about people.

The Irish Sun is more than a newspaper. It is an instigator, an entertainer, a cultural reference point, a finger on the pulse and a daily relationship.

The Irish Sun has been a campaigning newspaper since its inception and continues to be so today, most recently with our Kids Can’t Wait campaign, calling for urgent action as hundreds of children remain on waiting lists for life-saving treatments.

Politically, The Irish Sun stands for ordinary working people looking to get on, building better lives for themselves and their families, regardless of where they grow up or which school they went to.

The Irish Sun strives to the very highest standards of accuracy in its reporting, and continues to invest in original journalism in print and online.
