Most popular News websites in Ireland

Its a difficult as they don't seem to want to give any stats - unless you are a potential advertiser.

The only scraps of data that come to mind are fairly dated at this point - this from the vaults of 2011 (useless at this point IMO - but a good starting point) from comscore:
http://www.comscore.com/Insights/Data-Mine/The-Irish-Times-Leads-Online-Newspaper-Category-in-Ireland

And this from 2015 - with the top sites in Ireland on a mobile (& not just news)
http://www.ilevel.ie/media-blog/print/102837-top-sites-for-mobile-in-ireland

Finally this by Similar Web https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/ireland - but no numbers - but all websites and no sterilising the results - warts and all!
