The panel made the following comment on the winner:
"Alice Munro is mostly known as a short story writer and yet she brings as much depth, wisdom and precision to every story as most novelists bring to a lifetime of novels. To read Alice Munro is to learn something every time that you never thought of before."
Alice Munro will receive the prize of £60,000 and a trophy at the Award Ceremony on Thursday 25th June at Trinity College Dublin.
