another 21 million shares traded in dublin today at 15 cents. End of day price hasn't shifted, bizarre.

No reason for O'R to hold the Indo shares at this stage, may as well reduce his loans a bit. The real question is what happens at Providence, where the O'Reilly stake is much higher and more significant. This presumably is why he wants to hang on for 6 months, until the deal is done.

Just so. 17 million sold in Dublin this morning at 15 cents. That would be a bit over 1%. O'Reilly had about 5% at last report. Of course it may be someone else getting in first.

Still has just under 5%, to be sold at discretion of banks. Let's hope a white knight is standing by.

Still interesting. Soon be back to 200. Dull board this though.

Interesting. The big business story here today is the Shire takeover offer, running since this morning. (Shire is Irish registered and has employees here). Indo website has the bare bones, just a line and a photo, no background or analysis. Times hasn't got the story at all, so far as I can see. Not much incentive there to pay for online access. Now if they had a decent analysis piece online 18 hours before it turns up in print, that would be an incentive. Of course if you haven't even got the story ...

If a newspaper's online presence is attractive, and if it is free, it will attract viewers, and that should enable it to generate advertising income. That is the only way it will work, i.m.o. A paywall will drive away viewers, and there goes your advertising income. I think the I.T.'s plans are daft. They can't even run the archive efficiently - have you tried using it recently? Last twice I tried, it swallowed my money and refused to deliver material which I know was there.

Can't see much online on either paper that I would pay for.

Has anyone heard anything recently from Tom Hickey? Do we know if he supports this latest board expansion?

Bit of buying in Dublin, someone expects goods news at AGM?

Someone sold about 69 million on Friday in Dublin. I wonder was that our friend?

Agreed.

You have every right to say a man is a fool if you think so. If you say he is a liar and a conman, he can sue you, and the onus of proof is on you. Best wishes.

Careful. Your Sun 12.48 is libellous and actionable, i.m.o.

Question is, if Tony still holds about 5%, who else was selling in recent weeks? Lot of shares sold the week after his holdings RNS.

Holding its own, best you can say.

Support buying seems to have stopped as well, hence price drifting down. Still no RNS.

The heavy selling seems to have stopped, for the moment anyway. Odd that we have not had a second holdings RNS, given the quantities traded last week.

see bus. news today, picked up on o'reilly sales

Another ten million traded today. I guess we can expect another holding RNS this evening. May not tell us who'se been buying, which is really the interesting question.
