Former INM director Buckley criticises chief exec O'Reilly

A former senior director of Independent News and Media who was voted off the company's board yesterday, has criticised the company's chief executive Gavin O'Reilly.

In a statement issued this afternoon, Leslie Buckley accused Mr O'Reilly of planting false and misleading information into the media, which he says was "designed solely to discredit and undermine" him.
