Brings a whole new meaning to the term 'Gutter Press'

Do reckon there was none of that hacking stuff going on here?

Maybe but can't really imagine a scoop about some Irish models lovelife would be worth the expense considering she would probably tell her story for free!

I suppose it could be asked how TV3 came to find out about Brian Lenihan's illness before he told his family. Someone leaked confidential private medical information.
 
I'd be very surprised if similar hacking tactics were not fairly commonplace in some Irish newspapers.
