We’re proud to announce TJ Love, our new service for commenters where you can search for the man or woman of your dreams.
Using data gleaned from your commenting activity on the site, we’ll match you up with a TheJournal.ie commenter who’s right for you.
It’s a first in the world of online dating – a dating service just for commenters.
Eric Fallon, vice-chairman of Journal Media Ltd, said TJ Love is the natural next step for TheJournal.ie:
“We know our readers show their true selves when they comment,” he said.
And we love how passionate they are. We also know how hard it can be to find love in this era of online dating. So we wanted to make things easier, and bring love to our commenters the best way we know how. I only wish TJ Love had been around when I was single!

We’ll help to ensure you’re only matched with someone who really gets what kind of person you are.
Our commenting quiz will help you discover the type of people TJ Love could match you up with.
Your comments give an insight into your personality, desires and needs that a dating profile will never get to the heart of. It’s the real you, the passionate you, the intelligent you.
Your comments tell the world what you feel strongly about, and what would be better than to meet another commenter who feels passionately about the same things you do?
It’s simple:
TJ Love is open to all TheJournal.ie commenters. Simply visit our site and enter your name and the URL of the Twitter or Facebook account that you use to comment.
Tell us your gender preferences – male, female, or either – and your location.
Then, at our TJ Love Data Centre our hard-working tech team will extrapolate the key data from your comments. They will drill down into the information to zoom in on what sort of partner from the TJ Love commenter dating pool is right for you.
TJ Love will examine:
This data will then be used to match you with another commenter in our system who closely matches your commenting style, interests and passions.
When you get matched, we’ll email you your match’s details and interests.

And who pays the bill?
Half a story here on the journal
Tom Feely will pay in bitcoins
The €47k that the residents paid last year to Kildare Co Co in LPT would more than comfortably cover the cost of lighting and sewage…
With no street lights how will the kids ever know when it’s time to come in?
I heard the post was late in another estate today. Where’s the journal on that one? One would think someone in the journal lives in the above estate.
I think there’s a pothole being filled in Dingle today also.
Damn it. Dingle gets everything.
Electricity for kilcock…. The future is now…..! Them swans in the canal must be delighted…!
No it’s not a “piss take” …
Yes a lot of ppl have no street lights at all…. The difference with this estate is there are street lights – which have been switched off without notice – why should the next estate have lights and not this one??
It is a built up town not two houses on a five mile country road! It needs lights for various reasons!
There are many estates like this which did not make the news – as no one bothered to stand up and make it happen!!
I’m sure the rate payers of Kildare will be happy.
This has to be a piss-take.
I’s hopes that youse can still see the stars ..lol lol
At last, some light at the end of the tunnel!
Such a relief
Um, what about the sewage plant? The maintenance of the lighting? Who will be paying to ensure services are maintained for the people living there?
The residents in the form of their Local property tax….. Its just a shame that the sheeple of Ireland are not prepared to stand up for what is their LEGAL rights.. When big Phil announced the LPT he justified it by saying it paid for street lighting. Chambers Park residents paid €47k last year in LPT, this would power the sewage system and pay for street lights for 3 YEARS.
You misunderstand, Pa. I was asking which body would be responsible, the local authority? The article never even touched on such questions.
As far as I can see, and your figures back it up, estate dwellers pay far more in LPT than they draw down.
Yet another reason that ghost estates should be treated more equitably.
have your say
