Noel Doran
Editor
Noel joined the paper in 1993 and was appointed editor in April 1999, making him the longest serving daily editor in the UK and Ireland. During his distinguished tenure, The Irish News has amassed a raft of UK and regional awards in recognition of its consistent top-level content. Noel became editor shortly after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, and as a result, the ups and downs of Stormont and devolution have been an overarching theme for him. He has announced he will stand down in April 2024.
