The Ballymun Concrete News was officially launched in October 2001, the Concrete News was a one-man-operated free newspaper that circulated to 20,000 homes on the Northside of Dublin City. Designed to spread only good news stories about Ballymun, the paper ceased trading in 2006 due to poor advertising revenue, which according to Seamus Kelly (Editor and Owner) was exacerbated by the delay in the delivery of the promised new local shopping centre.
