OK. You can put your masks on now.
LOLz.
In today’s Irish Times, three staff members (editorial, we understand) make ‘ghost hands’ and sport the rather excellent Martyn Turner Anglo Pirate mask (below, free with today’s paper). Do you know who they are? Can you help us make their humiliation complete?
In other news:
THE former managing director of ‘The Irish Times’ received a €1m payoff after she left earlier this year, it was revealed as the company unveiled further losses.
Maeve Donovan, who stepped down from her position as MD in February, was given a €1m “ex-gratia” payment by the newspaper “relating to a commutation of pension rights agreed with her”.
When Ms Donovan retired, she dismissed suggestions that she would receive a significant “golden handshake”, saying that her package would be “nothing out of the ordinary at all”.
Ms Donovan instigated the now infamous “investment and diversification” strategy at the paper, which saw ‘The Irish Times’ make a series of non-media investments, including a €50m spend on the property website MyHome.ie

Madam, – When will the typos Finnish?
Yours, etc.
Four days later this typo (Broadsheet passim) is still on the IT website. Which also happens, at time of writing, to not have heard about Vinnie Doyle’s passing. Ho hum.
No change since Saturday.
Madam,
Provacy?
Your typos seem to have become more frequent since that amusing article about typos.
Perhaps we are still drunk?
Yours, etc.
