The Irish Examiner’s revamped Life/Style section is more than just a refresh—it’s a reflection of how our readers consume content today. We’re bringing together a diverse mix of expert insights, humour, personal storytelling, and practical advice, ensuring there’s something for every reader. Whether in print, online, or via our ePaper, this content is reaching audiences wherever they are. 

At its heart are strong, recognisable voices. Dáithí O’Sé takes on life’s dilemmas in Dear Dáithí, offering an advice column with a warm, no-nonsense touch. Caitríona Redmond helps readers navigate everything from confusing contracts to smart shopping in Consumer Watch. Richard Hogan delivers thoughtful commentary on the challenges of modern life, while Denise O’Donoghue’s Life Hacks gives practical tips for everyday living. 

For those looking for something lighter, Colm O’Regan and Bernard O’Shea bring their signature wit, while Suzanne Harrington and Jane Cowan provide sharp, thought-provoking perspectives on life’s ups and downs. We also introduced a new feature, My Wedding Day, where well-known personalities share their most memorable moments—which kicked off with Mairead Ronan in an unmissable first instalment. 

We’re also delighted to welcome Sarah Butler to our Weekend magazine as our new food columnist. A Mayo native and a self-made success in the world of food content, Sarah brings a practical, no-fuss approach to cooking that resonates with busy households. In “The Family Cook”, her new weekly column, Sarah will share two family-friendly recipes every week, packed with time-saving tips and tricks to make mealtimes easier.

Beyond individual columns, this refresh allows for a more interconnected approach to storytelling, with natural links between Life/Style, food, fashion, wellness, and travel. Whether it’s consumer advice tied to shopping trends, a deeper look at the psychology of food choices, or a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the latest style moments, the content is designed to be engaging, accessible, and relevant across multiple interests.  With this renewed focus, we’re embracing a broader, more collaborative editorial approach. Life/Style’s reach across different sections presents opportunities to tell richer stories and create deeper connections with our readers—whether through expert advice, personal experiences, or lifestyle trends shaping everyday life.

Our refreshed Irish Examiner Life/Style section brings together trusted voices and expert insights, delivering engaging, high-quality content to a dedicated readership. With a strong presence across print, online, and ePaper, it provides a unique opportunity to align with a highly engaged audience. Whether through strategic brand partnerships, bespoke audience targeting, or impactful print solutions, our Media Solutions Team can help you connect with readers in a meaningful way. Get in touch to explore how we can collaborate.
