Taoiseach leads tributes to former Indo editor Doyle

HE was a courageous editor, ultra-competitive and above all had a commitment to core values.

These were some of the tributes paid to former editor of the Irish Independent, Vincent Doyle, 72, who died yesterday.

Journalists and politicians spoke of the long-serving editor’s attention to news gathering when he led the newspaper during changing times over almost 25 years.
