Mock Irish Times front page pulled from online edition

Front page marking end of Geraldine Kennedy’s editorship of the paper mistakenly went online this morning.

A MOCK-UP version of the front page of the Irish Times has been pulled from the site after mistakenly being posted to its ePaper edition earlier this morning.

The Irish Times confirmed to TheJournal.ie that the wrong page, which features mock articles as well as photographs and sketches to mark the end of Geraldine Kennedy’s tenure as editor of the paper, was posted but had been pulled.

The paper said the correct page would be available by 10.30am, and it now appears to have been uploaded.

Yesterday, Kevin O’Sullivan, the paper’s news editor since 2006, was named Kennedy’s successor.

This image of the ePaper edition was captured by Kiosko.net before being pulled from the site:

    Emmmmmmmmmmmmmm A recognition ???? For all the people forced to emmigrate, why not give them a right to vote … that would be recognising them as citizens … the same way as recognized democracies in this world do …
    USA, UK, Poland, Lithuania, all recognize their citizens living abroad ….
    Some folks dont think that Irish people should be allowed to vote if they are forced to emmigrate due to economic circumstances because they do not pay tax in this country on election day. All right thinking people recognize that if you live in a true democracy, you are not afraid to allow your citizens to vote no matter where they live. GIVE THE IRISH THE RIGHT TO VOTE… That is a recognition in itself, instead of sucking up to non-Irish citizens and being hypcritical.

    Merit badges? Is this really what the country needs at present? Talk about an ideas free zone.

    Good luck to him! I certainly hope he can keep his promise for his 2016 deadline.

    So much for transparent government with no divulgence to the public on what was discussed, god knows what plotting is going on.

    Eamon Gilmore’s ‘recognition’ system is a sad joke, does he really expect the Irish Diaspora to give a dig-out to a country that abandoned them the moment they set foot outside of the country?
    The idea that people will be given a certificate and a chance to meet one of the politicians responsible for ruining this country is just embarrassing.
    Why not simply refer members of the Diaspora to the BBC who run a very similar and successful scheme which rewards participants with a ‘Blue Peter badge’ ?

    Or alternatively the government could actually start to engage with the Diaspora in a sensible and serious way by giving them a vote in Presidential elections, which will help to promote a genuine and active interest in Ireland.
