The length of the of European ballot is causing problems in Galway! Returning Officer has asked counters to be careful after a number of mistakes. "Part of the problem is the European ballot is so long that it's getting bent at the top or bottom."

Gráinne, you were not in Tuam District Court when this case was heard. The court report accurately reflects what was said in court. I’m not sure when you last covered court but reporters can’t include ‘facts’ that weren’t heard.

Producing a high-quality newspaper requires people buying it. Those who might don’t need to when articles are shared on here in their entirety. I’d appreciate it if you took this down seeing as the City Tribune has only been in shops for a couple of days.

There was a member of the Gardaí at the meeting and pictures of all of the damage caused since February - enough to fill two notice boards!

You’re privileged to have people willing to share their most personal stories with you, trusting you to tell it on their behalf. You can highlight injustice at the highest level, but also where it affects just one person who might otherwise not be heard.
