The Limerick Leader is a weekly local newspaper in Limerick, Ireland. It was founded in 1889.[1] The newspaper is headquartered on Glentworth Street in the City.
The broadsheet paper currently is distributed in three editions, City, County and West, with a small selection of content differing between the three. The newspaper also has a Monday tabloid paper, City based, with a cover price of 1 euro.[citation needed]
In the 1950s, the Limerick Leader bought a rival newspaper the Limerick Chronicle. The Limerick Chronicle was founded in 1768 by John Ferrar [2] who was a prominent bookseller and printer in Limerick. The Limerick Chronicle is the longest running newspaper in Ireland. In 2018, the Limerick Chronicle went from a stand alone newspaper published on a Tuesday to a supplement in the weekend edition of the Limerick Leader.[citation needed]
The paper is owned by Iconic Newspapers, which acquired Johnston Press's titles in the Republic of Ireland in 2014.[3]
Notable contributors
Margaret Moloney, hailed as Ireland's first and oldest serving harbour master, was a journalist and contributed local news from Glin, Co Limerick as 'Our Glin Correspondent'.[4][5]
