Sunday Tribune to cease trading with loss of 43 jobs

FORTY THREE staff at the Sunday Tribune have been made redundant.

In a statement confirming the move, Independent News and Media — the Sunday Tribune’s majority stakeholder — said it had been left with no option but to close the paper altogether after the failure of any investor to take the publication off its hands.

Staff at the paper — which has been running in various formats since 1980 — received a letter from receiver, Jim Luby, yesterday informing them they are to be made redundant next Monday.
