Paul Drury dies

Leading Irish journalist Paul Drury has died.

Mr Drury, who was 57, spent over 30 years in journalism. He served as editor of The Evening Herald, The Irish Daily Star, Ireland on Sunday, Irish Daily Mail and Amarach.

President Michael D Higgins described him as "a highly respected journalist and commentator," saying his death "will be a loss to the profession he served with distinction for over 30 years."
His father, Dr Con Drury, a renowned pyschiatrist, had a life-long friendship with the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein.
