Mr. Gerry O'Regan:

I think, again, it is probably instinctive judgment, and it is obviously, to an extent, subjective. Obviously one would discuss it with other people on the editorial team, and there is a feeling that would evolve, perhaps, or an instinct would emerge. I suppose one of the key reasons would be economic issues and what we feel would be best for the country. The Irish Independent would be, broadly speaking, a centrist newspaper, but it is certainly pro-enterprise and pro improving the economy because it improves things for everybody - the country at large, the media and newspapers.
