About us

The Dealer "Free-Ads" Paper was established in Co. Donegal in 1996 as a classified "Free-Ads" paper. It's founders saw a gap in the market for buying and selling private goods within a more local area and a need for a platform for small indigenous business to advertise at affordable rates.

For the private individual it is free to publish what you like when you like as often as you like. For the business customer we offer low cost advertising that works! We provide a valuable service to the community through free advertising to charities, clubs and employers that have job vacancies. Today, we have three editions: The Dealer "Free-Ads" Paper serving Donegal & the Northwest which is distributed in Donegal, it's bordering counties plus Cavan and Monaghan The Dealer "Free-Ads" Paper serving Northern Ireland and distributed in all of Northern Ireland. The Dealer "Free-Ads" Paper serving the West and Midlands which is distributed in Mayo, Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim, Galway, Longford, Westmeath, Clare, North Tipperary and Offaly.

Due to demand from our customers we extended our services to include advertising online to broaden the advertising platform. Our website provides a service to customers at different levels. Private customers can place "Free-ads" in one of their local editions if they are from those areas. Customers can advertise online for €3 per ad for 2 months. Customers can browse the thousands of classified ads online at no charge. Business customers can advertise in our Business Directory for a small fee or if they advertise in The Dealer "Free-Ads" Papers this is complimentary. The local editions of The Dealer "Free-Ads" Paper will soon be available to buy to read online.
