Inside, it usually contains eight to twelve pages of Irish news, called "Home News", covering the [[Republic of Ireland]] and [[Northern Ireland]]. It devotes several pages to important stories such as the publication of government reports, government budgets, important courts cases, and so on.

World News contains news from its correspondents abroad and from news wires and services such as Reuters, the Guardian Service, and the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post service. The paper has correspondents in London, Paris, Brussels, and Washington.
