The best-performing newspaper in Ireland

IT’S official! The Irish Daily Mail is yet again the country’s bestperforming newspaper.

The latest sales figures for 2015 show the Mail was the ONLY daily newspaper in Ireland to increase circulation last year compared to 2014.

In 2015, we sold a staggering 135,600 copies more than in the previous year. And in the second half of the year, figures were even stronger: Irish Daily Mail sales rose by 2% year-onyear compared to the same period in 2014. And over that time (July-December) we were the only daily to increase sales. The good news carried into January this year with sales up again by a further 2% over and above January 2015.

The figures, from the independent Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC), are a powerful vindication of our committment to excellence in everything we do. Hard-hitting news reporting, fearless and insightful commentary, sizzling lifestyle and entertainment pullouts, stunning sports coverage, inspirational photography, a stunning glossy Saturday magazine, brilliant features, the latest property new news, showbusiness, health, wellbeing and of course the country’s best puzzles pullout – it’s all in your great-value Irish Daily Mail.

Above all, at the Mail we believe in putting our readers first in all that we do. So thank you, one and all, for your support. In this era of online news and social media storms, it’s heartening to know that so many of you still appreciate the true value of a rigorously-edited and carefully produced paper, packed full of carefully curated content, painstakingly put together in a convenient and accessible format – an entire day’s worth of reading and interaction.

And yours for far less than the price of a cup of coffee, a chocolate bar, fizzy drink or even a bottle of water.

So we hope you keep on enjoying the Mail – and we will continue to do all we can to produce the sharpest, smartest, most insightful, most informative, most entertaining, hardest-hitting, most relevant, most enjoyable – and of course best-performing! – newspaper in the country.
