With three days to go until Election Day, it’s time to see which party has the most Facebook fans.

Facebook relationships allow 'civil partnerships'

Facebook have today allowed people to change they're relationship status to 'in a civil partnership'. In Ireland, this comes after the Civil Partnership Act came into action. It will be interesting to note how many same-sex couples will choose 'civil partnership' to 'married'.

The most popular Irish newspaper on facebook is...

The evening Echo is Ireland's most popular newspaper on facebook. The Cork-based paper tops the list with nearly 9,000 fans. I'm also happy to say that the Cork Independent is the second most popular newspaper in Ireland, with 8,349 fans. They both are easily more popular than any national newspaper on the social networking website. They are also more popular than any Irish politician on facebook.
Despite social media's relevance in modern Ireland, many newspapers haven't engaged in the medium, with community pages with wikipedia extracts comprising their facebook pages.


Below are all Irish newspapers on facebook and the amount of fans that they have.
