A local youth group has been recognised for its contribution to the community after collecting a Traveller Pride Award. The group established a youth club for Traveller children called Lucht Siúil Óga in 2016 and as a result of their great work, the group of ten young Travellers were identified throughout their community with individual leadership skills. The leaders included Niamh Black, Sylvia Black, Kerri Lee McDermott, Kieran McDonagh, Courtney Quilton, Caoimhe Gaffey, Carly Stokes, Michael Quinn, Patrick Gaffey and Gerry Joyce, who were honoured to receive the
award. These young Traveller aged 17 to 23 have put in the time energy and their own money into setting up a Traveller run Youth Club, the first one in the country. They are great role models for their community and indeed the wider community. The Traveller Youth Club 7 to 10 years was affiliated to Youth Work Ireland (Louth). The Young Leaders from Lucht Siúil Óga meet every Tuesday to plan activities ranging from arts & crafts to movie nights for the youth club, which runs every Wednesday evening catering for 20 young people in Muirhevnamor.
A man who was caught driving one day after a disqualification came into effect was banned for a further two years when he pleaded guilty to the offence at Dundalk District Court. Richard McKeown, an apprentice electrician and father of one, from Summerhill, Knockbridge, was stopped by Gardai on October 7 last year and admitted having no insurance. Solicitor, Conor MacGuill, stated that the 24-year-old had been given a ban on September 21, with the disqualification to take effect 14 days later, but he had made an error in driving. Mr MacGuill argued that on that date the conviction had been recorded for drink driving with the no insurance charge struck out. As a result, he didn’t have a previous for no insurance. Judge John Coughlan agreed as him imposed a twoyear ban and €150 fine.
The award-winning group
Danny takes the honours at Dundalk Golf Club Twelve handicapper Danny Miele took full advantage of the shorter green course to take Sunday’s Singles Stableford competition with a fine score of 45pts. Miele went around in 75 gross and will see his handicap cut after he shot a round that included one birdie, 13 pars and four bogeys, with only one of the bogeys producing a return of one point. His overall score of 45pts was
two more than Eamonn Laverty (15) who needed two rounds of count back to take second overall from Ultan Gaughran (8) and Sean Gallagher (22). Gaughran claimed Category 1 while Gallagher took Category 3 with Michael Keating (17) taking Category 2. Teenager Josh Mackin, now off 2, had the best gross with a level par 36pts while Eamonn Laverty was the winner of the 3Ts qualifier and now goes
forward to represent the club in the next stage. Sunday’s competition was also a qualifier for the Harry Walsh Cup which is a matchplay competition for players with a handicap of 17 or higher. Defending champion Derek Teather was among the 16 qualifiers after shooting an impressive 41pts off 17 while Sean Gallagher (22) was the leading qualifier with a superb score of 43pts. Nine points
covered the 16 qualifiers with the final man making it in on 34/16.
