Student Press in Ireland
There is a thriving student media scene in Ireland. Each year the best publications in the field are recognised in the National Student Media Awards. Only three papers have ever claimed the title of Best Newspaper at the awards: Trinity News and The University Times, based in Trinity College Dublin and Ireland's oldest surviving student newspaper, and The University Observer, based in University College Dublin. The National Student Media Awards also caters for other student media, such as radio shows, short films, and student magazine (such as University College Cork's Motley Magazine.
Other notable student newspapers include The College View (based in Dublin City University), An Focal (University of Limerick), UCC Express (University College Cork) and Sin Newspaper ('Student Independent News', based in NUI Galway).
Most student newspapers in Ireland are published by the local students union in their college; some of these (such as The University Observer) are given editorial independence from the SU. A small number, including Trinity News and UCD's College Tribune, are both financially and editorially independent.

“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality.

—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“Sport and death are the two great socializing factors in Ireland ...”
