Irish Examiner view: Key role in our transformation

Brian Looney RIP

Brian Looney’s energy and ambition were key to the transformation of this newspaper.

The passing of former Examiner editor Brian Looney at the age of just 63 is a terrible blow to his family, his friends, and the array of former colleagues who worked with him here and in publications around the country.

Brian’s energy and ambition were key to the transformation of this newspaper, from The Cork Examiner to The Examiner and then to the Irish Examiner.
