Another blogger for the Irish Times?

It’s been confirmed on Politics.ie that the Examiner’s political correspondent Harry McGee is heading to the Irish Times at the start of ’08.
The big question – will he do a post-election Mark Hennessy on it and give up his blogging habit, or will he join the ranks of Messrs Hegarty and Carroll in becoming even more prolific online than ever before?

While the Examiner will certainly feel his loss, it’s certainly a further string to the Times’ bow. McGee’s writing (on the blog) is infused with a sense of humour that is rare for decent political commentators, and his little behind-the-scene insights and personal observations that colour the news which, particularly in the Irish Times, is very black and white.

Congrats, Harry, just don’t forget us online readers. Tell ‘er upstairs we like your style.
