CAITRIONA Murphy has been appointed to the role of editor of Irish Horse World in The Irish Field.

Announcing the appointment, managing editor Leo Powell said: “I am delighted to confirm that Caitriona is the new editor of Irish Horse World in The Irish Field. She has been acting editor for almost a year during Sascha Geraghty’s absence.

“During that year Caitriona has become very familiar to you all and to our readers and she brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role.

“I am sure you will join me in wishing her well in the future.”

He continued: “Caitriona is a graduate of the IFJ’s intern programme and this bodes well for the success of a new Graduate Intern programme that the paper is launching this week with CAFRE Enniskillen Campus.”
