Farrelly leaves Sunday Tribune

SUNDAY TRIBUNE managing director and editor-in-chief Jim Farrelly has left the newspaper, it was announced last night.

Sunday Tribune chairman Gordon Colleary said Mr Farrelly had resigned to pursue new opportunities in the media and business sectors. He has set up a new media consultancy operation that will service a number of clients, including Independent News & Media.

Mr Colleary, who owns a 26% stake in the paper, said that Mr Farrelly’s decision was unexpected but hoped to appoint a replacement soon.
