Dublin newspaper folds after 90 issues
Workers at a Dublin evening paper have been told that the publication of the paper has ceased - just weeks after a re-launch.
The management team at the Dublin Evening - originally launched in March as the morning paper Dublin Daily - had been seeking 1.5 million euro funding, but investors failed to back proposals and the paper has been closed after just 90 issues.
In a statement, the board announced the end of publishing on Tuesday July 8 and that the company was in a state of voluntary liquidation.
A consortium of shareholders, including UK newspaper group Archant, the Connaught Tribune, and Paschal Taggart, invested a sum put at 4 million euro in the paper.
The management team was taken from online Irish news service www.online.ie
Launched in March this year as a morning paper, the paper was re-launched with a new masthead as the Dublin Evening with a target circulation of around 22,000 in June. However, the paper faced tough competition from rival Dublin publication the Evening Herald.
