It is with great sadness that the AIB announces that Tom Walters, one of the co-founders of the Association, passed away on 4th December after a long battle against illness.
Tom Walters joined the AIB after leaving the BBC where he had worked since the early 1960s. He oversaw much of the AIB’s day-to-day administration until ill health forced him to take a less active role in the organisation.
In recent months, Tom had been working on the newsgathering and intelligence research, and was contributing news up until 2nd December.
The AIB sends its sympathies to his wife, Liz, and to Tom’s children.
