    Don't know much about him, but I hope he can make the Irish Times into a more distinctive, quality and anti-establishment type of paper.

    If it continues to be such a cosy pro status quo publication, I won't go back to buying it any time soon.

    The Irish Times is there to be status quo - it views itself as paper of record. News section is probably worst section of paper - yesterday's press releases today - so doesn't bode well.
