Ireland on Sunday circulation doubles since 2001

IRELAND ON SUNDAY is seeing increasing revenues on the back of strong circulation gains, according to its parent company Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT).

It said the tabloid, which it bought two years ago, has "consolidated its substantial circulation gains of earlier in the year, and is now seeing increased advertising revenues as a result".

Although it did not publish profits or revenues for Ireland on Sunday, the paper is expected to remain loss-making for another couple of years because of the investment in its re-launch. Ireland on Sunday has doubled its circulation since it was acquired by Associated Newspapers the national newspaper division of DMGT two years ago when IoS had average weekly sales of around 81,000.
