    INN has folded

    Irish Network News has folded with the loss of 16 jobs. It had been in financial difficulties for sometime. It provided news services to local radio stations.

    A great pity. Some excellent reporters in there.

    A pity they've gone and it's a bad time for those people to be entering the jobs market. I wonder how many users will misread the title and think that INM have folded?

    shame to see an independant news source dissappear
    it leave the state monopoly (RTE) in a stronger position again
    the sooner the license fee is distributed fairly within the industry the beeter
    but sadly too late for the staff of INN

    I remember in the days of the pirates, some country/pop DJ announcing "and now we go over to the newsroom" and suddenly we were listening to RTE1 until the weather, when the DJ thanked the newsreader and then read ten minutes of ads along the lines of "PJ's bar has live music from the Odd Couple threesome tonight" and "McCarthys have special offers on mattresses until Tuesday, try them out yourself". We lived in a much simpler country then.
