I leave this great company with mixed emotions: Gavin O’Reilly

Gavin O’Reilly has resigned as chief executive of Independent News and& Media after three years in charge of the country’s largest media group.

Chartered accountant Vincent Crowley — the company’s chief operating officer since 2009 — has been appointed by the group’s board as Mr O’Reilly’s replacement.

Yesterday’s news came after an emergency meeting of the INM board, at which the “compromise agreement”, leading to Mr O’Reilly’s exit was reached.
