Newspaper staff look for share of €50million sale price

STAFF at the Limerick Leader are looking for a share of the €50 million which Scottish Radio Holdings is expected to pay for the family-owned newspaper business.

Neither Scottish Radio Holdings nor the Limerick Leader would comment on the impending sale of one of the country’s strongest local newspaper franchises.

However, it is understood all but the final details have been agreed and an announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
