BBC presenter Vanessa Feltz has described a Sunday Times column written by Kevin Myers as "horrifying racism".

Sunday Times Ireland columnist Kevin Myers will not write again for the paper, a spokesman said.

THE Irish edition of the News of the World will cease to exist along with its parent operation following its last run off the presses this Sunday.

THERE’S so much talk of the economy contracting, of jobs being lost, of incomes falling and of taxes rising that I’ve decided to recall a positive story this morning. A story of a business being started 20 years ago that nobody said could succeed but which has created jobs for its employees, wealth for various owners and a product that has provided a useful service to the public.
