Editorial signature

Owned by the not-for-profit Irish Times Trust under the 1974 deed that bars any single shareholder from controlling editorial direction, the paper is the establishment voice of liberal, pro-European, Dublin-professional Ireland. Fintan O'Toole's columns set the masthead's tone on the North, on Brexit and on church-state questions, and the paper led editorially on Yes votes in the marriage-equality and Eighth-Amendment referendums.
