Independent Print has decided to stop distributing copies of The Independent's little sister, i, in Ireland.
Newsagents have been told that the issues of the i on 2 August will be the final ones available for sale in both the north of Ireland and the Republic.
Shopkeepers were informed that this was for "economic reasons."
A spokesman for Independent Print confirmed that the papers were being withdrawn from sale on the island of Ireland but made no further comment.
According to the latest ABC statistics, i sold an average of 877 copies in the Republic in June. Its Northern Ireland sales are not broken out separately from those in England and Wales.
The Indy itself has not been sold in the Republic for a year.
