Sources to avoid

Do not use:

Irish Daily Mail — per WP:DAILYMAIL: "There is consensus that the Daily Mail (including its online version, MailOnline) is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is generally prohibited, especially when other more reliable sources exist. As a result, the Daily Mail should not be used for determining notability, nor should it be used as a source in articles".
Irish Mail on Sunday — per above.
The Irish Sun — per WP:THESUN: "There is consensus that The Sun is generally unreliable. References from The Sun are actively discouraged from being used in any article and they should not be used for determining the notability of any subject".
The Irish Sun on Sunday — per above.
Seven News (7NEWS) — for Australia-based players, liable to racism and tabloid in tone.

It also advisable not to use the Irish Mirror. Though this has not yet been deprecated, it has been subject to discussion on numerous occasions: see WP:DAILYMIRROR.

Note also that (per WP:DAILYSTAR) "The Daily Star was deprecated in the 2020 RfC due to its reputation of publishing false or fabricated information". The Irish Daily Star is published by the same company that owns the Daily Star.
