‘Business Post’ will be out on Sunday

The Sunday Business Post is expected to publish as normal this weekend after the High Court yesterday appointed an interim examiner to Post Publications Ltd, which owns and publishes the broadsheet.

The newspaper — which employs 76 full-time staff — has seen its revenues halve in the past five years, is loss making and insolvent but has a reasonable prospect of survival as a going concern provided certain conditions are met, the High Court heard.

Appointing Michael McAteer of Grant Thornton as interim examiner, Mr Justice Peter Kelly said he was satisfied the appointment was “desirable and necessary”.
