The Irish Examiner has attracted an extra 8,000 readers over the last 12 months, cementing the newspaper’s dominance of the Munster newspaper market where it has more readers than the Irish Times and Irish Independent combined.

The latest Joint National Readership Survey (JNRS) figures shows that the Irish Examiner increased its readership by 4% to 189,000 readers every day.

In Cork, the newspaper’s dominance is emphasised by the fact that it now has more readers in Cork than the Irish Independent, Irish Times, Sun, Star and Daily Mail combined.
