The Hibernian Chronicle in October 1769. Published by William Flyn (c.1740-1811), a Dubliner who had been active in Cork as a bookseller and printer since at least 1766,
The Hibernian Chronicle became the principal organ for the increasingly prosperous Catholic middle class. The paper continued into the 19th century under Flyn’s son-in-law, James Haly (c.1765-1850), who changed the title in 1802 to the Cork Mercantile Chronicle. The Hibernian Chronicle appeared twice weekly, Monday and Thursday, and was published at the 'Shakespeare', near the Exchange (near present-day Castle Street).
