THE EDITOR OF the Irish Independent, Gerry O’Regan, has retired – and will be replaced by Stephen Rae.
Rae, a former editor of the ‘Garda Review’ is currently editor of the Evening Herald. His replacement there has not yet been confirmed. O’Regan, originally from Kerry, as is Rae, ahad also been editor of the Herald just preceeding his appointment at the Irish Independent. Previous to that he was editor of the Irish Daily Star.
A statement tonight said that O’Regan will retire after seven years as editor at the Indo and will continue on as a columnist at the paper. He will also contribute occasional articles to the publication.
Joe Webb, CEO of INM (Ireland) said:
We are delighted to announce Stephen’s appointment. He has many of the same fine characteristics that made Gerry O’Regan a superb editor. He is a Kerry man, a former editor of the Evening Herald and a talented and opinionated writer. I wish him and his colleagues at the Irish Independent every success in continuing to set the news agenda and in innovating to meet the evolving needs of a new generation of loyal readers.I also wish to thank Gerry for his unstinting contribution during his time as Editor of the Irish Independent, the Evening Herald and the Irish Daily Star. He has a superb intellect and connection with readers and I am delighted that he will continue as a contributor to the Irish Independent in the years ahead.

I think there is a new movement started in Clare called Independents together which encourages like minded people to have a voice in the running of our country. They are insistent that they are not a political party and nothing to do with Lucinda and co. I believe they have recruited candidates to run in the local elections,which is great , because people don’t know which way to vote now that they have seen the corruption of the last Gover. And the failure of this one to correct it.
What does new political movement actually mean to the person on the street I real terms… No property tax, no water charges, no a and e issues. Will we still have 166 tds on 100k a year plus expenses and advisors etc etc
A lot of these “new politicians” are also teachers with many of the taking a career break to do the honourable thing and return our country back to the people, we have had enough of teachers as they will upon getting elected receive their two pensions …..if they want to get elected resign from being a teacher before you want to be a politician that will endure you more to the people….
I think the word independent in independent td is being diluted
Great. If anyone needs any typesetting done, they know where to go. Do they advise on “photo air brushing ” etc.
Not sure if Donnelly will be involved.
He is already part of the technical group.
So do in this won’t change his impact.
Seems rather pointless TBH
Any vehicle that has Shane Ross and Pat Nulty in it is as attention seeking as it is utterly useless
the independent thought united vision doc is nice and vague, not sure the community orgs they mention are progressive
have your say
