End of an era in Irish media

For the first time in almost 40 years a member of the O’Reilly clan is not at the helm of Independent News and Media (INM).

Gavin O’Reilly’s decision to step down from the board of INM marks the end of an era dating back to Tony O’Reilly’s decision to take a stake in the newspaper in 1973.

Under his stewardship INM grew into a major player in the international media business.
