014: Homeless during COVID-19

For four decades, The Echo Newspaper has been the essential chronicle for the neighborhoods of Tallaght, Clondalkin, Lucan, Ballyfermot, and across South Dublin. That same dedicated, ground-level reporting now finds a new dimension in Local Voices, a weekly podcast from the same team. This isn't about distant headlines; it's a conversation focused squarely on the news, business developments, cultural shifts, and community stories that resonate most directly in these areas. Each episode goes beyond the print page, offering a deeper dive into current affairs and local sports, while also exploring the careers, people, and culture that define the region's character. You'll hear the thoughtful analysis and insightful features that longtime readers expect, but with the added intimacy of audio. Tune in for a direct line to the issues that matter, presented with the authenticity and familiarity that only a newsroom embedded in the community for forty years can provide. This podcast extends The Echo's mission, ensuring the stories of South Dublin are not just read, but heard.
