A weekly dispatch full of the latest stories, newsroom news and events. You can choose the Dublin city version, or the Fingal version. Either way, we'll also send you a full article from our archive every Sunday. Any advice? Well, a little bit. Enjoy it if you can, fellas! There are some basic tips and tricks you can stick to while sharing sexting photos, videos or chats. You can anonymise your photos and videos easily by keeping your face out of frame and covering any distinguishing tattoos or scars.
