Veteran news, business and property journalist formally retired in 2004 but continued as commercial property editor through boom and crash
Fagan, from Navan, Co Meath, and a former Meath county footballer, held a series of senior positions with the newspaper.
He took up his first role on the news desk and held the position of aviation correspondent where he charted the fortunes of the fledgling Ryanair among other significant stories of the day. He was deputy news editor before being appointed to the property desk in 1988.
In September 1988, Fagan oversaw the introduction of Ireland’s first full-colour property supplement. Fagan commuted to The Irish Times from the Victorian Dunmoe House near Navan, which he first saw on horseback as he rode with the Meath Foxhounds in the Boyne Valley. He lovingly restored the property with his late wife Eleanor and the couple reared their three children Zoe, Douglas and Barry there.Speaking on Monday, Fagan’s daughter Zoe said her father, even in retirement, remained enthusiastic about the newspaper, his former colleagues and what was happening in the property world.
