‘Post’ deadline for bids passes

The deadline for interested parties to submit bids for the Sunday Business Post to the company’s examiner passed yesterday.

The examiner, Michael McAteer of Grant Thornton, said he could not comment on the bids he had received.

There has been much speculation that at least three serious bids have been made, with a partnership between The Irish Times and Landmark Media Investments, owners of the Irish Examiner, tipped by many commentators as the lead bidder.
