Irish language paper to close

Sadly, the Irish language daily Lá Nua is to close. The grant from the all-Ireland body Foras na Gaeilge, which has sustained the paper for the last couple of years, will not be renewed when it expires in December. When Belfast Media Group acquired the paper in 1999 it knew it would not turn a profit and saw its publication as a service. Staff in Belfast and Donegal will be made redundant.
