THE GOVERNMENT HAS approved the sale of parts of the now-defunct Irish TV to a newspaper for the Irish diaspora in Britain.
Irish TV, the short-lived station based in County Mayo, went into liquidation late last year after collapsing under millions in losses.
The London-based Irish Post announced that it was buying digital and intellectual property from Irish TV, which includes the station’s business name, business databases, website domains, social media and extensive video content library.
The sale was awaiting the go-ahead from the state’s competition regulator, which has been officially approved today by the Minister for Communications Denis Naughten.
The exact amount of the sale isn’t known.
Competition regulator
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission cleared the proposed merger on competition grounds, with the Minister notified of the approval in March of this year.
The regulator’s examination included determining the merger’s potential effect on the plurality of media in the state.
As a result of this examination the Minister made a determination this Wednesday that the proposed media merger will not adversely affect the plurality of media in the state and, as such, that it may be put into effect.
Founded in 1970, The Irish Post is a media brand focused on the Irish in Britain. It manages a weekly newspaper and a website.

They missed the smartphone and tablet boat big time. I’d say they’re only splitting them in the hope that someone will buy the pc business from them like Lenovo and IBM back in the day. I think at one stage Lenovo made an offer for the pc arm when one of HPs more shortlived chairmen announced they were gone cease production shortly after releasing their new tablet OS a few years ago. It was a shame because those tablets were supposed to be good.
I cant belie that will happen .
Maybe on Hewlett an another company Packard :)
If one part of company start doing businesses only on printing there will be no big businesses I suppose
Printers are to expensive and there are get faulty relay fast
I’m using non original – compatibile cartridges from http://corink.ie because are so expensive ….
Better start from lowering prices to get customers back
have your say
