From The Editor
30 years on, GCN continues to be a vital community resource worth its weight in gold
I’ve been editing GCN for 15 years this month, exactly half of its existence. Before that I was hugely connected to the publication, having worked here on a FÁS Community Employment Scheme during the early ’90s, a stint that began my career as a journalist. Back in those days there was always a sense that GCN could close down at any moment. We were at the mercy of government cuts to FÁS, who annually held us under the wringer as we waited to hear whether we’d got funding for another year.
