Text of the page (random words):
the sunday independent we as a paper are not shy of preaching about corporate pay and fat cats but with this there is a sense of excess some of the sums mentioned are disturbing this is not an attack on ms kennedy it is an attack on the executive level of pay there is double standard of seeking more job cuts while paying these vast salaries 44 45 on 23 december 2004 the irish times ran a front page story on the provisional ira s denial of involvement in the northern bank robbery one of europe s largest ever and on the same day refused to print a column by kevin myers which said that the provisional ira was responsible 46 myers was reported to be shocked by the spiking of his column 47 some two weeks later the paper printed a report that there might after all be a nationalist connection 46 myers later left the paper in may 2006 48 on 31 july 2010 the irish times published an article titled the fighting irish about irish nationals who enlisted in the british armed forces the article featured interviews with members of the royal irish regiment and the irish guards 49 it was subsequently criticised by current affairs magazine the phoenix which argued that the article romanticised the war in afghanistan and served as little more than an indirect advertisement for the british military the phoenix accused the editor of the irish times geraldine kennedy of violating the irish defence act which prohibits all forms of military recruitment advertising on the behalf of foreign militaries 50 on 9 september 2011 the paper published a pseudonymous article by kate fitzgerald 51 unknown to the paper she had taken her life on 22 august 2011 the revelation sparked a nationwide debate on suicide with her parents appearing on television to discuss suicide and depression 52 the article criticised the reaction to her illness by her employer the communications clinic although it was only after she was identified as the author that her employer became known the article was later removed from the paper s website 53 causing controversy online the editor later told her parents that sections of her article were factually incorrect but could not say which ones 54 kate s parents complained to the office of the press ombudsman about an apology made to the communications clinic their complaint was upheld 55 in september 2019 the paper reprinted an article from the new york times by william broad the article claimed that the blossoming anxiety over professed health risks of 5g fifth generation wireless technology can be traced to a single scientist and a single chart a complaint to the office of the press ombudsman of the press council of ireland was filed by tom butler of the university college cork the press council ombudsman upheld butler s complaint ruling that the irish times breached principle 1 truth and accuracy of the code of practice of the press council of ireland 56 57 governance edit in 1974 ownership was transferred to a non charitable 17 trust the irish times trust the former owner major thomas mcdowell was made president for life of the trust which runs the paper and was paid a large dividend 18 however several years later the articles of the trust were adjusted giving major mcdowell 10 preference shares and one more vote than the combined votes of all the other directors should any move be made to remove him 21 mcdowell died in september 2009 58 the trust is regulated by a legal document the memorandum and articles of association and controlled by a body of people the governors under company law it is not a charity and does not have charitable status it has no beneficial shareholders and it cannot pay dividends any profits made by the irish times cannot be distributed to the trust but must be used to strengthen the newspaper directly or indirectly the trust is composed of a maximum of 11 governors the trust appoints governors who are required to be representative broadly of the community throughout the whole of ireland as of march 2023 john hegarty is the chair of the trust and the governors are edmond harty maeve carton catherine day bernard harbor david sterling fiach mac conghail and marguerite sayers they are predominantly from an irish public sector background 59 in 2015 the irish times trust limited joined as a member organisation of the european press prize 60 offices edit the irish times building on tara street the irish times clock originally mounted on the d olier street building moved with the newspaper to the tara street offices in 2006 in 1895 the paper moved from its original offices on middle abbey street to d olier street in the centre of dublin d olier street became a metonym of the irish times which in turn was personified as the old lady of d olier street in october 2006 the paper relocated to a new building on nearby tara street 61 irish times literature prizes edit the irish times literature prizes were established in 1988 with the inaugural irish times international fiction prize worth 7 500 in 1998 62 awarded in 1989 63 the irish literature prizes four categories each worth 5 000 in 1998 were awarded for fiction poetry and non fiction written in english in 1998 a separate prize was for the first time awarded for a work in the irish language for the most outstanding title of all of the categories which was awarded by a separate panel of
