Dublin, Ireland
Understanding the Dublin Market
Dublin is Ireland’s dynamic capital—a hub of global business, media influence, and cultural energy. With a thriving tech ecosystem, long-established journalism, and a public that deeply values media integrity, messages here must balance clarity, thoughtfulness, and authenticity.
Key Considerations for Effective Communication in Dublin
1. Media Landscape & Audience Trust
National broadcaster RTÉ, local radio and regional newspapers remain among the most trusted sources in Ireland —with local radio and newspapers each trusted by around 72% of the public.
Dublin also hosts the headquarters of The Irish Times, Irish Independent, and major media outlets, creating a dense and influential media ecosystem.
2. Media Resilience Amid Digital Growth
Despite global shifts toward digital, radio continues to thrive. Bay Broadcasting—home to stations like Radio Nova—reports strong online and podcast engagement and is expanding aggressively.
The recent launch of talkSPORT Ireland, blending traditional radio with podcasting and video for sports fans, highlights how hybrid media formats are reshaping engagement.
3. Communication Style & Business Culture
Communication in Ireland blends modesty, wit, and warmth. People often use anecdotes and indirect approaches to make complex points—valuing storytelling and emotional connection over bombast.
Punctuality demonstrates respect and professionalism. While meetings are relaxed in tone, arriving on time (or notifying of delays) goes a long way.
4. Media Freedom & Regulation
Ireland supports a strong environment for press freedom, with limited censorship. That said, sustainability for public service media like RTÉ remains a concern.
The Coimisiún na Meán, Ireland’s media regulator established in 2023, now oversees both traditional and digital platforms under new regulatory frameworks.
