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.
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. Its offices are at Academy Street, Cork. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations (http://www.abc-ireland.ie/), it had a daily circulation of 57,609 during the first six months of 2004.

The IrishExaminer (Formerly: CorkExaminer, 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) and the Irish Independent (both broadsheet and tabloid editions).
The paper was founded by John Francis Maguire under the title the CorkExaminer in 1841 in support of the Catholic Emancipation and tenant rights work of Daniel O'Connell.
The IrishExaminer has published an article (July 7) which (in a sidebar) takes seven quotes from the forums on Archiseek.com out of context and uses them to back up its claim that Archiseek.com is anti-OAP.
It is ironic that the Examiner has trawled through the thread for rare comments by now discredited members of the forum when journalists from their sister publication, the Evening Echo, post to the site adding more information.
For The IrishExaminer to stoop to such levels is very disappointing to me. Freesheets in general are very prone to this type of sensationalism, but one would expect a so-called national newspaper to be more circumspect in throwing accusations around - even if they only published it in their local edition.
