She led the title through a time of growing circulation until 2005, when she stepped down to establish Fallon & Byrne, the Dublin food business she founded alongside her husband Paul Byrne and restaurateur Brian Fallon. “She was a really generous person who championed her friends and colleagues, especially younger colleagues, and she had great style and vision,” Ms Byrne said.
Ms McHugh, who succeeded Rory Godson as editor in 2000, oversaw the expansion of the title’s Irish coverage, leading it to record sales before pursuing a change in career.
