A good few things have happened since we saw you last, the post office is gone for a start. NewsFour attended both marches and the meetings around the closure and it was a terrible pity to see the post office close. From the start, and despite all the meetings and marches, there was a terrible sense of inevitability about the whole thing. The last two months also saw the passing of two well-known local figures, both suddenly, and both far too young; John Devoy and Patrick Murphy. Both men are remembered fondly in this issue, as is Tom Sheridan who also died earlier this summer. Hopefully, you will find this issue as diverting as previous ones. Once again, we venture far and wide with our contributers; to Canada with Aisling Flood on page 21 and to Machu Picchu in Peru with Glenda Cimino on pages 28 and 29. Travels closer to home are also included as George Humpries takes a nostalgic tour of bygone pubs. Ann Ingle is back from her own tour of the world and has taken over the crossword duties once more, welcome back Ann. Many thanks to Patricia McKenna and Lucinda Creighton, who agreed to write pieces for and against the upcoming Lisbon referendum, we decided to go to press a week or so early in order to cover this event. Good luck everyone, see you again in the run up to Christmas. Christopher |
