The Evening Press was an instant success, and contributed to the financial losses and eventual closure of the '' Evening Mail '' in 1962. The Evening Press heavily outsold the Evening Herald for most of its life also, particularly outside Dublin. It peaked at sales of 175,000 copies a day. The poor performance of The Irish Press , particularly after its unsuccessful relaunch in 1988, was a severe drain on the whole Irish Press Group, and probably damaged the Evening Press brand, although it continued to perform better in the evening newspaper market than its sister paper did in the morning market. It retained a loyal following due in part to the popularity of columnists such as sports writer Con Houlihan, although it stuggled to generate advertising revenue. The collapse of Irish Press Newspapers in 1995 however lead immediately to the closure of all three newspapers in the group. With the demise of the ''Evening Press'' in the 1990s, the ''Evening Herald'' is now the only nationwide Irish evening newspaper. |
