Just to cover the whole market, you’d have to look at the Evening market. Although you can hardly call one local paper in Dublin and another in Cork a ‘market’. Anyway…

I like looking at this from 1990 as it shows the true collapse of the evening newspaper in Ireland. From close to a quarter a million sales every evening to just over 75,000 two decades later.
