“Claire was the first female Editor at the Irish Independent and played a major role in developing the title and in leading the rollout of the new production system at the title. We wish her the very best with her future plans,” he said.

He departure will see the Group Head of News at INM, Ian Mallon, take over as editor on an interim basis with a recruitment process for a new editor to begin shortly.
