The Sunday Business Post is a Sunday newspaper distributed nationally in Ireland.
The newspaper's editorial line has in the past been strongly Republican, especially under former editor Damien Kiberd.
Among the paper's columnists are David McWilliams and Tom McGurk.
A co-founder of The Sunday Business Post was James Morrissey (spokesperson for Denis O'Brien).
The Sunday Business Post was previously owned by Thomas Crosbie Holdings (TCH). It was then now owned by Key Capital, Paul Cooke and staff members (6% equity for staff). It is now owned by Sunrise Media who's shareholders include Key Capital.
The paper's first edition appeared on 26 November 1989. While TCH's other major newspaper titles, the Irish Examiner and Evening Echo, are based in Cork, the Post was published in Dublin. The paper describes itself as "Ireland's Political, Economic and Financial Newspaper". It is a general newspaper with a strong emphasis on commerce, politics and financial markets. The newspaper does not have a sports section. Three supplements are published weekly with the newspaper: The Market, which concentrates on and company news; The Magazine, an entertainment and features magazine; and a property supplement. A once-monthly Computers in Business magazine is also included.
In July 2014, Post Publications Ltd., the publisher of the paper, announced that Cliff Taylor would leave the paper after ten years as editor. Pat Leahy, the paper's deputy editor and political editor, was the paper's acting editor until Ian Kehoe was made editor.
Annual revenue fell from €15.3 million to €7.3 million in the five years to 2013. Circulation revenue fell from €4.9 million to €3.6 million in the last 5 years to 2013. The newspaper had 76 full-time employees and 123 freelance contributors, and made a loss of €1.2 million in the year to 2013.
