The Irish Examiner (Formerly: Cork Examiner, The Examiner) is an Irish national daily newspaper which primarily circulates in the Munster region surrounding its base in Cork, though it is available throughout the country.
Its main national rivals are The Irish Times (broadsheet), Cork Independent (newspaper) (tabloid) and the Irish Independent (both broadsheet and tabloid editions).
The paper was founded by John Francis Maguire under the title the Cork Examiner in 1841 in support of the Catholic Emancipation and tenant rights work of Daniel O'Connell. Though originally appearing under the Cork Examiner title, it has re-branded in recent years to The Examiner, and subsequently the Irish Examiner.
The title is part of the Thomas Crosbie Holdings group. As of 2004, its Chief Executive is Thomas J. Murphy, and its editor is Tim Vaughan. The newspaper was based at Academy Street, Cork, for over a century, before moving to new offices at Lapp's Quay, Cork, in early November 2006. Recently it had a large surge in readership, gaining readers mainly from the Irish Independent. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, it had an average daily circulation of 57,217 (ABC January - June, 2006).
