The Irish Independent's 'Review' section of the paper is a very opinionated section of the paper involving short and long interviews of celebrities in Ireland and light-hearted feature pieces on figures such as Brian Clough. It also includes investigative pieces such as the one in this paper which reports on middle America heading to the soup kitchens due to the economic crisis.
What this posting is particularly interested in is the exclusive on page 5 by Gemma O'Doherty on Gerry Ryan's thoughts about taking a pay cut - the much-discussed pay cut in the halls of RTÉ which has caused national disgust within the Irish people.
This feature piece includes a non-direct style of interview, where the writer asks questions in a feature style piece which the interviewee answers - while the writer also gives a history and reaction to his comments.
The piece also includes reaction from the man who stood in for Ryan while he was on holiday, who comments that he was 'disgusted by RTÉ's top stars'. This piece features on the same page as the faux-interview, and is written in first-person style as a snapshot reaction to the opposing piece.
The pictures on the page show other RTÉ stars who have taken a pay cut also, serving as a reminder of the story that dominated the papers just days ago.
The rest of the 'Review' contains... well... reviews of books, films, tv and art in general, including a 'Final Word' section, which on this day is basically a review and opinion on son of two journalists Jake Myers' life, which doubles as a view on children in general.
