The owner of the Sunday Business Post has entered exclusive talks to buy the publisher of the Irish Tatler magazine, with a deal expected before the end of the month. The Irish Times reported in August that Kilkullen Kapital Partners was in talks with Irish Studio Media Publishing. However, talks between the pair are now at an advanced stage, and a staff consultation with Irish Studio over the potential merger has been commenced. Irish Studio is the owner of several well-known glossy magazine titles, including Irish Tatler, U Magazine, Food & Wine and Auto Ireland. Irish Studio had been linked to a bid for the Post when the newspaper was originally put up for sale by its then owners, Key Capital.
