I am asking Mr. O'Regan what happened at the newspaper at that time that allowed such a sea change, where there had been little support for the incumbent Government and then suddenly there was a big change. In fact, The Observerreported on 22 April 2007 that Independent News & Media would swing behind the Government: "all three of [the] main national titles - the Irish Independent, the Sunday Independent and the Evening Herald - will back Ahern to get re-elected." How did that story unfold?
