This Semester, we welcome three new editors, who will be helping to shape our literary blog Bridges. Anne Gill and Niamh O’Connell are going to take over from us in April\/May with the view that they are going to continue this online magazine next year when we are no longer students. Please give them all your support. We would like to thank all three of them for stepping up and being of great assistance already.<\/p>\n
