Reviews for this Book

What they said about Ballymun Concrete News:

"It managed to be relentlessly positive against the backdrop of a tsunami of negative reporting about Ballymun, so it was a welcome antidote." – Professor Mark Boyle, National University of Ireland, Maynooth

"The way that the news media is going now is that, at one end of the scale, you have the Googles and all the rest of the big men but, at the other end of the scale, news is going hyper-local: even more local than it was before. To that extent, Seamus was a pioneer but, perhaps he was just a bit too early." – Professor John Horgan, Head of Media Studies at Dublin City University (DCU) and former Press Ombudsman

"There has been a decline in regional newspapers, both in Ireland and the UK and there is a debate about what is effectively called micro-news, small targeted newspapers. In a sense, Seamus was ahead of the game on that." – Seamus Dooley, Irish Secretary of National Union of Journalists (NUJ)

"I remember meeting Seamus at gigs and have been interviewed and featured in the newspaper, Ballymun Concrete news were a great to supporting Aslan and other local bands in the area." – Christy Dignam, Aslan

"I think local news and info is more relevant now than ever. Social Media makes information easily available but it needs a steer and Seamus is the editor and the man to do that." – Lena Byrne, Head of Scripting at JAM Media and formerly on the RTÉ soap, Fair City

"What the Ballymun Concrete News did at time was important because Seamus was very challenging. It wasn’t just soft news but about the real issues. The Ballymun Concrete News challenged all of us to provide the best services we could." – Karl Heller, Garda Chief Superintendent
