Launched in 1994 by University College Dublin Students' Union, the newspaper was an immediate successor to the publication Students' Union News.[citation needed] The University Observer was founded by dual editors Pat Leahy (who later joined The Irish Times) and Dara Ó Briain (later a broadcaster and comedian).[2][3] Other former editors include a number of Irish journalists who went on to other publications, including Killian Woods (later of the Business Post), Samantha Libreri (of RTÉ News), and Gavan Reilly (of Virgin Media Television and Newstalk).[2]
The University Observer has received several awards, including five "newspaper of the year" awards at Ireland's National Student Media Awards.[4]
