Hello everyone. My name is Christopher Sweeney. I took over from Ann Ingle as editor of NewsFour last month. I suppose the first thing I should do is wish Ann well in her retirement. While it won’t be easy, I will be doing my best to keep the newspaper as interesting and entertaining as it has been under her stewardship. Thankfully, Ann has agreed to continue compiling our crossword.

I am not a native of the area; I was born in Wexford and live across the river in Marino, but I am looking forward to getting to know the people and history of this fascinating part of Dublin.

You will notice all the political ads in this edition of the paper due to the upcoming European and Local Elections. We have compiled a list of candidates which we hope you find useful. We wish all the candidates well. In the current uncertain times, strong local and European representation is more important than ever. So don’t forget to vote.
