Mr. Fitzpatrick, who owned the newspaper since the early 1980s, has received tributes. His life ended this morning, according to the newspaper.
Along with the News Letter and Belfast Telegraph, The Irish News, whose chairman was Mr. Fizpatrick, is one of Northern Ireland’s three daily publications.
Micheál Martin, the Taoiseach, said: “I had the tremendous opportunity of getting to know Jim over a long period of time and interacting with him. He was a true gentleman in every way.
