INM to take control of Irish Daily Star
The Irish Daily Star is to relocate from Dundrum to INM's head office in Talbot Street, Dublin, when the paper comes under the group's full control
Print18 January 2013
Independent News and Media (INM) is to take full executive control of the Irish Daily Star securing the future of the tabloid newspaper.
This move rules out the possibility of a UK version of the Star replacing the Irish version on shelves across the country.
In a statement, the newspaper’s parent company, Independent Star Limited, said INM and Northern & Shell, which each control the business equally, had agreed that INM will assume full executive responsibility for the Irish Daily Star, which will relocate from Dundrum to INM’s head office in Talbot Street, Dublin.
In a further development, Ger Colleran will return as editor of the Irish Daily Star and Gerry Lennon, managing director of the Sunday World has been appointed managing director of Independent Star Limited.
Colleran was previously the editor of the Irish Daily Star from 1999 until November 2011, when he became the company’s managing director.
The former editor Micheal O’Kane resigned late last year due to a controversy over pictures of Kate Middleton sunbathing topless.
