Happy New Year from Waterford News & Star

As we reflect on the year that's gone we've carried stories in Waterford News & Star and waterford-news.ie featuring the highs and lows of life.

There were some great high points throughout the year and also moments when people faced immense challenges.

Throughout it all, and always at the heart of everything we do, are people and that's something we don't ever forget.

From everyone involved in the newspaper and its sister website we wish all our readers, customers, clients and their families and friends the very best wishes for the New Year and hopefully 2026 will be a very positive and lucky year for all.
