IrishCentral.com is the sister website to the Irish-American publications ''Irish Voice'' newspaper and ''Irish America magazine''. It went live on Sunday, March 15, 2009 after a launch in New York City which was attended by the New York Times, Irish Taoiseach Brian Cowen and others.〔 〕 The website markets itself as a website for the global Irish diaspora. Niall O'Dowd, at the website's launch, said that the purpose of the website was to: “() out to the global Irish – wherever they may be — to come home to this very special place. On IrishCentral.com, our worldwide audience will be able to discover or rediscover their Irishness, to connect again to their special and wondrous heritage. We are hoping to do what has never been done before: use the power of the Internet to create a home for the global Irish." The website mixes original content with content reproduced from the Irish Voice newspaper, Irish America magazine and Home and Away (newspaper) ==Coverage== The website covers a broad diversity of areas. Most news on the site has a connection to Irish-America, or Irish-American celebrities. Some of the rest relates to intemperate, inaccurate and hostile coverage of UK news stories, even those that have no direct relevance to Ireland or Irish-America. Sections on the website include: news, Irish news, sport, entertainment, gossip, and more. IrishCentral has previously broken important stories on (Natasha Richardson ), (a secret meeting of New York billionaires ), and (Bono snubbing George Bush ).
