is a free monthly publication in the style of a newspaper which has been produced since its first edition in 1996 by Alive Group, an organisation with an address at the Dominican Order St Mary's Priory, Tallaght in Dublin, Republic of Ireland.
[1] It is printed by Datascope, an independent publishing company in Enniscorthy and contains an appeal in each issue for donations totalling €160,000 annually to remain in circulation.
[citation needed] TD Thomas Byrne criticised the publication, claiming that he was "bombarded" with its "anti-EU" views while attending Mass.
Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú stated that it was "completely wrong" to suggest that Cardinal Brady should ban the publication from churches simply because it espoused views opposing the Lisbon treaty.
Contributors to the newspaper's Monthly Musings include Irish poet and academic Dr. Ciarán Ó Coigligh, Bishop Kevin Doran and barrister, journalist and broadcaster Kieron Wood, Gerard Murphy, Peter Perrum, Tom English and former University College Dublin's Students' Union president Katie Ascough.
