Financial News - European

For coverage of general economic news, and in particular, European money matters, you can't do better than these -

Bloomberg - If money's involved, they cover it.

There are zillions of financial sites, many of which require hefty subscription fees. Since this is not a financial newsletter, I won't even attempt a review.

Wall Street Journal - requires a subscription to use their web site. Unless you're already getting it, stick to Bloomberg.

Financial Times - Europe's leading financial paper. Another goodie and mostly free to use.

Financial News - Irish

Sunday Business Post - is the weekly financial paper in Ireland. It appears on its eponymous day. The Business Post's web site carries most of the articles found in the paper.

Irish Times - The most popular Irish site of all. Good daily coverage of the news and lots of articles about Irish money matters. They're now charging for accessing their archives. Beware - bean counters at work!

Irish Independent - Financial reporting is reasonable, but the best reason to take a look at the financial section of the Irish Independent is for its columnists.
