Kilkenny People

Kilkenny People

"The Kilkenny People" is a local paper circulated in County Kilkenny, Ireland. James Joyce referred to this paper in his "Ulysses".

Popular in Kilkenny City and County, it competes with the Kilkenny Voice and "The Munster Express" in the south of the county. The Kilkenny People is published on Wednesdays every week and is owned by Kilkenny People Ltd, a holding company of Johnston Press. The paper is printed in three sections, dealing with news, property and sport. Originally set up as a newspaper for supporters of Charles Stewart Parnell, it survived and prospered while others folded and closed.

Today, it is the biggest selling newspaper in the South East of the country and the fourth biggest selling provincial paper in Ireland.

According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, the paper had an average weekly circulation of 17,578 for the first six months of 2006 [http://www.abc-ireland.ie/] .
