Mock Irish Times front page pulled from online edition

Front page marking end of Geraldine Kennedy’s editorship of the paper mistakenly went online this morning.

A MOCK-UP version of the front page of the Irish Times has been pulled from the site after mistakenly being posted to its ePaper edition earlier this morning.

The Irish Times confirmed to TheJournal.ie that the wrong page, which features mock articles as well as photographs and sketches to mark the end of Geraldine Kennedy’s tenure as editor of the paper, was posted but had been pulled.

The paper said the correct page would be available by 10.30am, and it now appears to have been uploaded.

Yesterday, Kevin O’Sullivan, the paper’s news editor since 2006, was named Kennedy’s successor.

This image of the ePaper edition was captured by Kiosko.net before being pulled from the site:

    Why don’t the Gardaí have this capability rather than a volunteer organisation?

    @John: During a missing person search, you’d be surprised how much is outsourced to voluntary organisations. Mainly due to the fact that they’re very labour intensive and it keeps Gardai free for their frontline roles, also the infrastructure that CD in particular have is top notch and allows for seamless intra-organisation communication.

    @Liam Carlin: yes, unless you are operating a drone of less than 1kg in Uncontrolled Airspace, below 400ft, in visual flight rules, line of sight, but not further than 300m away, and not over or within 30m of people or vehicles and within a flight area you can control, nor over urban areas. For everything else you need a license, its actualkt quite strict but many flout the rules.

    Paul Kehoe isn’t the defence minister, Leo is. Paul is a junior minister, very very junior.

    Couple of questions for ye folks.

    1. What’s the flight time on that type of drone?

    2. Anyone know the make & model of the car/jeep in the background?

    @Chief: the 4×4 is a land rover discovery, the drones we use are DJI inspire, Yuneec typhoon and DJI matrice drones, so all spec can be found on their websites

    @Shane Halpin: thanks Shane. Reason I asked about the land rover was I did a reverse image search on the drone picture and Google came back with ford escape hybrid as the result. Though it was impressive seen as the image only shows a vehicle wheel. On the drones,, I had a phantom 1, 3 and 4 myself for a while max flight time about 24 minutes, looks like that one in the image after I looked it up does around 37.

    @Chief: I’m guessing google picked up the outline of the landrover badge, it’s the same shape as the ford badge…
