Southside People
The Southside People was a free newspaper for the southside of Dublin, part of the Dublin People group of free newspapers distributed to homes in Dublin and available in supermarkets and convenience stores throughout the city.
History
During the mid-1990s the Dublin People acquired the South News title, which was converted to Southside People. Its editor was Neil Fetherstone, a former Northside People (east) journalist. Jamie Deasy was the paper's main journalist.
In May 2020, following the COVID-19 pandemic's arrival in Ireland, North Dublin Publications Ltd—partially owned by Celtic Media Group and publisher of the Dublin freesheets, the Northside People and the Southside People—told its employees it would be shutting both papers and that it wished to have a liquidator appointed.[1][2]
In July 2020, Evad IT Solutions acquired the group out of liquidation. [3]
