The Clare Echo will be hitting shelves at a new time – with an increase in our bulk delivery also taking effect to meet unprecedented demand from County Clare customers.
Readers of The Clare Echo will notice some changes in our distribution network beginning next week, with the publication of our edition dated August 21, 2025.
The Clare Echo print edition will now hit shelves every Thursday evening (between 2-7pm) instead of Thursday mornings. This is due to our award-winning printing partners, Webprint, consolidating their print operations to one production plant in Dublin having previously operated from two premises.
To coincide with this, The Clare Echo will also increase our bulk distribution in shops countywide, and increase our door-to-door business deliveries in order to replace our domestic door-to-door deliveries which will be removed due to the change in our print time.
Since our first edition on October 19, 2017, The Clare Echo has been a stalwart and trendsetter in the Irish local news industry – becoming the most distributed newspaper in County Clare while also becoming the first free newspaper in Ireland to successfully implement a premium paywall for our online customers.
The Clare Echo looks forward to continuing to serve readers across the county, along with businesses who have come to trust The Clare Echo as their Number 1 choice of advertising in the county.
