Almost 50% of adults use internet

ALMOST half of all Irish adults, 1.69m people, identify themselves as internet users, according to JNIR (Joint National Internet Research).

Subscribers to the JNIR include 19 of Ireland’s leading online properties, including Thomas Crosbie Media who operate the Irish Examiner website.

Commenting on the results, CEO of Thomas Crosbie Media, Angela Crowley, said: “We are very pleased with the performance of Irishexaminer.com and BreakingNews.ie as detailed in the JNIR survey.

“Our sites are very well established and are set to benefit from additional investment. We will shortly launch a redesigned BreakingNews.ie which will deliver the latest innovations in online media to include audio, video and user generated content.”
