The Echo (previouslyThe Tallaght Echo) is a regional newspaper covering parts ofDublin in Ireland. It was founded by owner David Kennedy in 1980,[1] who launched the newspaper out of the front room of his house, and originally called itThe Tallaght Echo. The paper has since grown to cover the adjacent suburbs ofClondalkin,Ballyfermot andLucan.[citation needed]
