Residents in Knockbridge are underseige from youths in the area who are congregating in the village centre and engaging in antisocial behaviour according to local councillor Tomás Sharkey.

The Sinn Fein councillor who lives in Knockbridge was speaking in the aftermath of an assault in the village where a man received facial wounds after being attacked by what is reported to be a gang of youths.

The man who is in his 40’s was followed after he left a licensed-premises at approximately 10:45pm and confronted by the youths before being attacked with a

knife. He presented himself to hospital and later reported the incident to the Gardaí. He is believed to have received nonlife threatening injuries.

According to Cllr Sharkey this is just the latest in a long string of incidents which have occurred in the village in recent years.

“Unfortunately, Knockbridge has been the victim of a sustained spell of antisocial behaviour in recent years. There are families being intimidated in their own homes and there is a gang of youths hanging around the centre of the village taking drugs and they are out of control".

“This latest incident has seen a situation where a Continued on Page 2

There was an altercation on Park St. in the early hours of the 4th of August involving two males. During the altercation a female walked by and smashed a pint glass over one of the two men causing a gash on his forehead.

Garda station.

An attempted burglary On the 4th of August took place on the 3rd of at approximately August on the Dublin 9:30am a man in Road at approximately Ronan’s Terrace, 6am. The owner of the Castletown heard house heard the alarm a loud bang on his go off and proceeded front door. From the to investigate. He upstairs window he found the windows in looked out to see the kitchen smashed a man in his 20’s downstairs but the with medium build,

approximately 5ft 10” with red hair which was shaved tight at the side and long on top. The occupier of the house didn’t open the door.

Approximately ten minutes later the owner of the house heard another loud bang, this time at the back of the house.

The man looked out his back window to see the same man as before attempting to enter the house by using a crowbar to open the window.

This time he was accompanied by two men who were wearing hoodies. The

owner of the house managed to disturb them and scare them off with the trio jumping into a back alley before escaping.

Any information on this incident should be passed on to Dundalk Garda station.

On the 3rd of August a man drove home to his house in Glenwood at approximately 12:20am and parked his car in the driveway.

At 12.55am he heard a loud bang and looked out the window to see flames coming from his car. The fire brigade were subsequently called and the fire was extinguished. The 08 LH Volkswagen was towed away and brought to the GT Vehicle Rescue and Recovery centre. It is unknown if the fire was accidental or if it was started maliciously.

Enquiries are ongoing.

Anti-Social Behaviour is ‘out of control’

From Page 2 group of people have taken their anti-social behaviour to another level by following a man as he left the pub and attacking him with a knife. He suffered facial injuries and it will take him a

long time to fully heal,” stated Tomás.

“Unfortunately, we have seen residents in the area being bullies and intimidated by this element and I have been told personally by senior citizens in the

area that they are afraid to leave their houses in the evening and they feel under-siege,” added Tomás.

“This problem has gotten out of control and it’s time something was done about it. Parents in the area need

to know where their sons and daughter are in the evenings. They need to be aware that there is a problem with drugs in the area and many young people are being sucked into this antisocial behaviour. Fixing the

problem must begin in the home. I know there is CCTV belonging to the pub in the village but we also need public CCTV cameras as well to help alleviate this ongoing problem,” concluded Tomás.

Dundalk get ready for another cup final

Dundalk qualified for yet another cup final under Stephen Kenny as they saw off Galway 3-0 the EA Sports Cup semi-final at Eamonn Deacy Park.

It may not have been a vintage year so far for the Lilywhites but their loyal supporters will have at least one cup final to look forward to when they travel to Tallaght Stadium to face the auld enemy Shamrock Rovers on Saturday 16th at 3pm. This will be their first EA Sports Cup final since 2014 when they beat Shamrock Rovers 3-2 in Oriel Park.

Goals from Jamie McGrath,

Robbie Benson and a Kevin Devaney own goal were enough to see Dundalk cruise past Galway in what was a very clinical display by Stephen Kenny’s side.

With the league all but over and interest in Europe ended following a heartbreaking defeat to Rosenberg all focus for Dundalk will now be on the cups with the EA Sports Cup Final and the FAI cup final still up for grabs.

There will be extra motivation for Dundalk to beat Shamrock Rovers in the final given that Stephen Bradley’s side have already beaten the Lilywhites

twice already this season in the league. Having endured a torrid start to their league campaign there has been improvement in recent months with just two domestic defeats in their last 16 matches. Before the EA Sports cup final Dundalk will kick off their FAI cup campaign with what is expected to be a tough game against in-form Derry City this Sunday in Oriel Park.

That game kicks off at 6:30pm and with tickets going on sale yesterday it is expected to be a complete sell out for what promises to be a mouthwatering clash.

Mark aims for second record of the summer

News

Mark McGeown in action ahead of sheep-shearing record attempt.

in Brief Dundalk Brass Band

Dundalk Brass Band will play in St Helena Park on August 13 from 2:30pm.

Everybody is welcome to come down and hear the very talented group in action and there will be light refreshments available on the day which are kindly being sponsored

by Lidl.

Following his success at the Louth Agricultural Show, Mark McGeown will make his next attempt at a sheep shearing record on August 20 at the Convoy to Cooley Penninsula Ploughing.

This time the target is a nine-hour Lamb Shearing record that was set

by Wexford man Roy Collier in 2015.

The current record stands at 617 lambs and Mark will commence his day at 6am with breaks totaling three hours over the course of the day that will finish at 6pm.

Mark will be strongly fancied to break the record after his brilliant performance at the beginning of June when he set the new Irish Sheep Shearing record at Bellurgan Park.

The Ravensdale man achieved his goal when he sheared a total of 514 sheep in eight hours on Sunday, which works out at an average 56.3

seconds per sheep. The effort began at 8am and included just three breaks totaling two hours, before he finished at 6pm.

Mark has previously claimed the Lamb Shearing title at the Ploughing Championships along with a number of All-Ireland titles. His also won the Intermediate World title at the Highland Show in Scotland and has also been a winner at the Balmoral Show.

The rules regarding the shearing are quite strict and Mark had to shear sheep to a standard specified by the ISSA, (Irish Sheep Shearers Association). The ISSA supplied three independent judges and the shorn wool had to conform to specified weights as do the sheep.

As part of the forthcoming record attempt, Mark will be holding a raffle with the proceeds going to Cystic Fibrosis.

Admitted driving without insurance A man who was convicted of driving without insurance on two occasions was sentenced to five months in prison at Dundalk District Court.

Jeffrey Bailey (38) of 30 Glenwood, Dublin Road, Dundalk, had been convicted in his absence on June 28 of driving without insurance arising from the incident on September 21 last year.

Mr Bailey’s solicitor, Paula Tiernan stated that at the time he was on holiday and asked for the case to be adjourned. However, Judge John Coughlan ruled that the case would go ahead as scheduled.

The court heard that Gardai stopped the defendant in a Ford Transit van at the Dublin Road.

Mr Bailey didn’t have a licence in his possession and the Garda noted that the NCT and tax discs were out of date and belonging to another vehicle. The insurance disc was faded and appeared to

the Garda to be fraudulent.

The Garda stated that Mr Bailey locked his vehicle and refused to get out, while his partner and children were also inside. After a long stand-off he got out and was arrested on a public order charge. His partner and children then got out and the vehicle was seized.

Judge Coughlan heard that the defendant had 33 previous convictions and had been disqualified in 2015 for ten years, and after imposing the conviction he issued a bench warrant.

When Mr Bailey had the warrant executed on July 26 he also pleaded guilty to driving without insurance on June 3, 2016, at Hoey’s Lane, Dundalk.

Ms Tiernan stated that the father of six was originally from England and had a chance to return to the UK for work.

Judge Coughlan imposed the five-month sentence and fixed recognisances for an appeal.

Man given chance after an excellent report from prison A man who pleaded guilty to an assault on his former partner was told he was being given a chance and that the sentence he is currently serving would not be extended.

Robert Byrne (25), Simon Community Dundalk, pleaded guilty to

assault causing harm to a woman at Crowe St on September 28, along with breaching a barring order. He also admitted theft of a phone.

The court heard that he is currently serving a 10 month sentence from January 16, and a report from the Governor of

Clover Hill prison was handed in to court.

In imposing an eightmonth sentence, Judge John Coughlan stated that he was impressed by the report.

“I am not extending your sentence. I am giving you a chance as this is an excellent report.”

Local heroes honoured with street banners

The international achievements of 12 Dundalk people is to be recognised in their hometown with an outdoor banner project titled ‘Our Local Heroes’ The first phase of ‘Our Local Heroes’ project was launched at the County Museum, Dundalk last week on Wednesday August 2, which was attended by some family members of the late heroes thrilled to see their relative honoured by Dundalk Led by Dundalk Tidy Towns and in association with The County Museum, Dundalk, the first 12 local heroes to be unveiled are: Dorothy MacArdle, writer, novelist and playwright; Peter Rice, engineer; Thomas Coulter, botanist and explorer; Brendan O’Dowda, Irish Tenor; Henry McShane, industrialist; Sir John MacNeill, engineer; Tom Sharkey, champion boxer; Peadar Ó Dubhda, writer; Paul Vincent Carroll, novelist, playwright and musician; Peter McArdle, Olympic athlete; Tomas McAnna, theatre director and playwright; Sir Francis Leopold McClintock, explorer.

Newly elected Chairperson of

Dundalk Leader 10th August 2017

Dundalk Tidy Towns, Helen Byrne said the project has been an amazing learning experience for her with potential for future expansion.

“I’m not from Dundalk originally so when I look at the 12 people who are on this list I’m just blown away by it.

We have an engineer who worked on the Sydney Opera House – one of the most identifiable but certainly unique buildings in the world. We have athletes of world class standard, we have a number who made amazing contributions to the world of arts, culture, industry and exploration. They are all worthy to be in this first phase of Our Local Heroes,” she stated.

County Museum Curator, Brian Walsh in speaking of the project said “This project provided us with a fantastic opportunity to effectively bring an exhibition on to the streets of Dundalk.

“There is so much potential for this project. Count how many lampposts we have in Dundalk and that’s how big we can make this project,” he added.

Pride of Place Nomination for Dunleer 2017 Dunleer has been chosen by Louth County Council to represent Louth in the Pride of Place 2017 in the small town category at the All Ireland Final.

The Pride of Place competition is a 32 county all-Ireland competition and is about showing respect and inclusion for every sector in our community, young, old, rich or poor and creating communities to which the people of the town are proud to say they belong.

Judging of Dunleer takes place on Tuesday August 15 from 2pm to 5pm. Two Judges will arrive to see all that Dunleer has to offer from businesses, industry, clubs and organisations and individu-

als.

Most organisations are taking part on the day to present their club and Dunleer in the best possible light. The Pride of Place committee have been working on the visit for the last few months and requests that the community of Dunleer come out in force to welcome the Judges at the Market house at 2pm on August 15 and also join them around 5pm at the Primary School on Ardee Road Dunleer to make a presentation and say a final farewell to the judges.

The final results will be announced December 2 at the Mount Errigal Hotel in Letterkenny Co. Donegal.

Banned from the road A man who was involved in a single vehicle accident was banned from the road for four years after pleading guilty refusing to provide Gardai with a specimen.

Vincent Dillon (33) of 6 Lennon Melia Court, Dundalk, was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital on June 7 last year.

Solicitor, Frank McDonnell,

stated that his client, who has difficulties, accepts that he was given opportunities to provide the sample. Judge John Coughlan also imposed a €20 fine.

Mr Dillon also pleaded guilty to a no insurance charge and after hearing that he had a previous conviction, Judge Coughlan imposed a ten-year ban and €10 fine.

Young girl raises money for Cara Cancer Care

By Geraldine Kieran

A little girl from Mulharlin park, Dundalk decided to do something special with her summer holidays. Following, her first holy communion Nicole Dolan donated her long beautiful locks to charity. The eight-year-old was upset after seeing the sad faces of children who have suffered hair loss from leukaemia and alopecia. Nicole wanted to make a small difference and do something to help.

“It’s something we both wanted to do, Nicole was sad at seeing children with no hair and wanted to help. So, we talked to the staff in Talking Heads and researched how to donate your hair. It’s the summer and Nicole was fed up of her long hair anyway so no point it going to waste,” stated Mum Nicola Dolan.

Following some of their own research Nicola decided to donate the hair to the Rapunzel foundation

Poc Fada a huge success

By Geraldine Kieran

In many ways Poc Fada na hEireann created history in 2017. For the first time in the 57-year history of the event all 32 counties organised and ran a Poc Fada competition. The AllIreland finals were held in the Cooley Mountains where both senior competitions were won by Galway players, with Tadgh Haran and Susan Earner fending off strong competition to become King and Quen of the mountain.

The event is the only all Ireland to he held outside of Crowe Park.

There were representatives from fourteen different counties between the four

competitions. Cathal Kiely (Offaly) emulated his brother Cillian in winning the u16 title for the second time.

While committee member Damien Callan who won the every first competition back in 1960 was the recipient of the Hall of Fame award.

Local competitor Gerard Smyth produced an excellent effort to finish eighth on the day while Poc Fada legend Brendan Cummins, who has won the event a record nine times finished sixth.

Also on the mountain this year was Noreen McManus’ group Cuchulainn Celtic Strings who provided excellent entertainment for those present. In addition to Cuchulainn Celtic strings, Queen Maeve and Setanta,

courtesy of the local An Tain Group, also made an appearance at the Poc Fada.

In addition to the entertainment, members of the local Defence Forces provided valuable support to the organisers by acting as referees. The local Civil Defence Unit made sure everyone present were kept safe and sound.

The Louth organising committee under the stewardship of Pat Hartnett and Josephine Maguire left no stone unturned to ensure that the 2017 AllIreland finals were run to the highest level, it was a wonderful event enjoyed by all and capped off with fine weather which meant even greater crowds than usual.

which is a voluntary organisation that helps people with hair loss by providing information and through the collection of pony tails for the manufacture of natural hair wigs.

In addition to this the ladies decided to use it

as an opportunity to raise funds for Cara cancer care in Dundalk.

“We visited Cara Care for sponsorship cards and it was mainly family, friends and neighbours who supported Nicole. All in

all she raised €708.50 for Cara cancer care which we were delighted with,” stated mum Nicola. A great effort and lovely charitable action by a little girl, teaches the rest of us how small deeds can make a big difference.

St Dominics 5K fun run The redevelopment of the Friary Field by St Dominics FC is almost complete but the club are still busy trying to raise money to pay for the work done to date. The club began the redevelopment last July with the aim of improving the field which had poor drainage and often was left covered in beer cans and needles. There was also constant problems with regards to dog fouling throughout the years.

To help rectify this problem the club undertook an ambitious project which involved putting a new fence around the field and improving the existing drainage system. A brandnew playing surface was also put down with the club looking to help to create a safe area for young footballers around Dundalk to enjoy for years to come.

The club cater for hundreds of children from all over Dundalk and provide a great service to the community thanks to the tireless work of all involved with the club. St Dominic’s spent years fundraising for the project and thanks to the generous support of the people of Dundalk and the lottery sports grant they managed to raise €55000 which was used for

Dundalk Cricket Club fire past Adamstown Dundalk Leader 10th August 2017

Driving bans to be recognised on both sides of the border

On Monday (1 August) laws were changed so that driving bans will now be recognized on both sides of the Northern Ireland and Republic borders.

This will give effect to a road safety agreement signed back in 2015, between the Irish and UK governments. The new law means that anyone with a diving ban on either side of the border, will be unable to breach that ban in both Northern Ireland and the Republic.

The Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Shane Ross TD said: “The mutual recognition of driving disqualifications is an important road safety measure because it aims to target dangerous drivers on our roads. “The disqualifications relate to drivers disqualified for reckless or dangerous driving, hit and run driving, and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.”

The Minister added how important this new law is for both Ireland and the UK as it is “one of a series of new measures he is introducing to reduce road injuries and ultimately save lives” “Maintaining the common travel area and our economic links with the UK are important priorities for Ireland, and this Agreement will make a contribution towards that objective, as well as making an important contribution to road safety.

“The new measures are underpinned by an International Agreement between Ireland and the UK, which comes into effect today and primary legislative provisions in Ireland and the UK, which have been commenced today.

“Under the Ireland / UK Agreement, the driving disqualification is, in effect, transferred by the State which imposes it to the licence of the offender’s ‘home’ State. So, the legal consequence of the offence committed follows the offender home,” stated the Minister.

A powerful display with the bat saw Dundalk move up to third position in the league with a comprehensive victory over Adamstown in Corcaigh Park on Saturday afternoon.

Having won the toss, captain Andy Williams choose to bat first on a damp pitch but it was Adamstown who got off to the brighter start as they pushed past 50 for the first 10 overs, with Raj Kumar pulling a number of boundaries to the short leg side.

However, the captain led from the front and Williams took two wickets in two balls dismissing both openers and then trapped the number three LBW for a golden duck in the next over.

Tight bowling from Michael Mullen and Haroon Khan restricted Adamstown in the middle third of their innings, but opposing captain Aman Sangwan opened up and in the last ten overs moved onto a spirited 52 before being bowled by Muhammed Zahid. This slowed them down again but, despite a run out on the last ball, they finished with a respectable 175 from their 35 overs, setting Dundalk 176 to win.

Zahid and Waqas Khan opened

the batting and made a thunderous start, sharing boundaries between them as Dundalk moved onto 62 for no loss after the first 10 overs.

After Zahid was caught behind, Adamstown threatened to thwart Dundalk’s momentum but Williams again showed his prowess with the bat, smashing three huge sixes on

his way to a quick fire 33 before he too was given out.

This left Dundalk still needing 80 runs to win, but the new pairing of Waqas and Umer Khan didn’t slow down, with the latter playing some huge shots over long-on while the former found every gap in the field through the off-side. In the last over

of the game, Waqas capped off his 50, eventually reaching 57, while his partner Umer finished on 47, pushing Dundalk to an 8-wicket victory with 10 overs still to play.

Next Saturday, Dundalk will be full of confidence as they face a trip to second-placed Clondalkin in Tymon Park.

Schoolboys return from Gothia Cup

Dundalk schoolboys have returned home from Gothenburg in Sweden having performed with great credit in reaching the knockout stages of the competition.

The Dundalk boys bounced back from their narrow opening day defeat on Tuesday with a very good 3-2 win over Vallens IF from Sweden. Goals from Cathal McElroy and Kevin McCormack put Dundalk 2-0 ahead at half time, Vallens reduced the deficit in the second half to make it 2-1 but Dundalk were always in control and Jake McShane made it 3-1 before the Swedish side scored again in the last minute. The Dundalk team were now on a roll and playing with confidence and they easily beat Etne IL from Norway 6-0 on Wednesday morning with goals from Peter McStravick, Terence Kelly and Fintan Brady and a hat-trick from birthday boy Kevin McCormack.

This result earned the team the runners-up spot in the group and they then had to play another game later in the evening against UK side Yeovil Town. This proved a step too far for the Dundalk boys who were beaten 6-0 by Yeovil’s u16 Academy team who train three times weekly and have been together since last October in stark contrast to the Dundalk team as their preparation for the Gothia Cup only really started in in June when the schools closed for the summer holidays. Cap Jeune 31 from

Toulouse in France were the overall winners of the 16 Gothia Cup. The French side played 9 games to Members of the Dundalk squad that travelled to Sweden win the Cup and didn’t concede any goals, they beat Yeovil Town 1-0 in the semi-final. Dundalk’s defeat on Wednesday evening put them out of the tournament having played four, lost two and won two games all played in very hot conditions. JJ Nwabueze was the outstanding performer, although he picked up an ankle injury in the third game he still matched any of the quality players from Yeovil Town in the fourth game.

Kevin McCormack was Dundalk’s top scorer with five goals. The squad and staff then had two full days holiday time to enjoy in Gothenburg with many friends made with people from all over the world. Dundalk changed cities on Saturday with an overnight stay in the city of Malmo in southern Sweden and a pre-arranged visit to the Swedbank Stadion where they had 21 tickets reserved to attend Sweden Premier league leaders Malmo FF play Jonkoping Sodra.

A fantastic atmosphere with 18,000 in attendance and a great game with Malmo winning 2-0.

Used gun to clear house party A young man who was having difficulty trying to get uninvited guests to leave a house party, produced his father’s hunting rifle in order to persuade them to leave.

Unfortunately for the young man, the evacuation coincided with the passing of a patrol car which attracted the attention of Gardai.

As a result, Aaron Nordon (21) of 7 Springfield, Wallace Rd, Blackrock, appeared at Dundalk District Court, to answer charges of unauthorised possession of a firearm at his home on February 27 last year.

The court heard that the defendant had gone to a local pub and invited a small number of friends back as his parents were away.

However, solicitor Conor MacGuill, explained that matters soon got out of control. After word spread on social media, approximately 200 people gathered in the house and he was unable to

9

Dundalk Leader 10th August 2017

get them out.

The solicitor pointed out that the property had been the subject of an attempted burglary some time earlier and the hunting rifle had been taken from its usual place.

He added that there was nothing in the rifle and the subsequent events were almost comical.

A number of people were recording Mr Nordon’s attempts to get people to leave and the incident only came to the attention of Gardai because a patrol car happened to be passing and noticed people leaving the house.

Judge John Coughlan stated that it was the father’s fault that the gun was out and that it should not have been so readily available, but he would accept at €1,000 donation to charity.

Mr MacGuill stated that the defendant’s father didn’t have the chance to secure the rifle, but when the money was paid Judge Coughlan said he would strike the matter out.

Aoife overcomes challenges to represent Louth at Rose of Tralee

LOUTH Rose Aoife Heffron is rallying her supporters to join her in the Dome on Thursday August 17 at the Rose of Tralee International Festival from August 16 to 22.

The Dundalk native will be among 64 Roses from all over the world to take part in this year’s festival which will include parades, funfair, circus, fashion show and fireworks displays.

Aoife, 27, a PR Executive and Communications in Creative Media graduate from Dundalk, spoke about what it means to her to represent Louth in the competition and the challenges she has faced.

“My main hobby is my blog AoifeJane. I started the blog in April 2016 as a way to discuss my struggles with hair loss as a woman and the mental health effects that go along with it.

“I want to create

awareness for this common problem and use the blog as an environment that hair loss sufferers can come to for information and support. It’s hard to put into words what it took for me to fill out the application to be the Louth Rose 2017,” she explained.

“I have regained much needed confi-

dence, through my blog and what I like to call my ‘hair makeup’.

Then to have actually become the Louth Rose, after telling my story to everyone, is genuinely heartwarming and an incredible honour,” she added.

Once again, only 32 Roses can be picked for the television stages

on August 21 and Tuesday 22 and this year’s qualifying judging process will take place before the Roses arrive in Tralee.

The next Rose of Tralee will drive away from Tralee in a new KIA pro_ceed, a World Travel Prize valued at €25,000, and a weeklong holiday in Kerry.

Alarm at level of harassment on Dundalk streets

Fianna Fáil TD for Louth and East Meath Declan Breathnach has requested a meeting with Superintendent Garda Gerry Curley and the Garda Community Liaison Team to discuss the alarming levels of harassment on the streets of Dundalk.

“People are being harassed in many ways. People stopping in front of them looking for money and I have even heard

of someone running into a café and taking food from a diner’s plate!” said Mr Breathnach.

“This begging and anti-social behaviour has escalated in the past few months and this sort of harrying and pestering is spoiling the enjoyment of the town by locals and visitors, be it for shopping or business purposes.

We need a greater visible Garda presence on the streets.

“I have requested a meeting with the Garda Superintendent in Dundalk and will speak with the Garda Community Liaison team to discuss ways to combat this behaviour. The Management of BIDS Dundalk and The Chamber of Commerce share my concerns and will join me at this meeting, when arranged” concluded Deputy Breathnach.

Cricket Club on lookout for new members Irish cricket internationals George Dockrell and Kevin O’Brien were in Dundalk on Monday afternoon to help promote Dundalk Cricket club and help raise awareness about various fundraisers coming up.

The current incarnation of Dundalk Cricket Club was established in 2009 and now field one team in the Leinster League in Division 10.

The club have previously been able to enter two teams into the league but due to dwindling numbers the second team was disbanded last year. Now the club are looking at initiatives to try and entice fresh blood into the club.

If anybody would like to join the team or drop down to their pitch to have a look at the set up they will be welcomed with open arms according to Gerry McKeever, player and committee member with the club.

“There’s a great camaraderie in the team and we like to think we are a welcoming bunch,” stated Gerry.

Unfortunately, we had to disband our second team last year due to a

fall in numbers but we are currently looking to get some new blood into the team and we are hopeful of starting up a second team again next year.

“Cricket is a sport that is growing in popularity all the time and we want to see some of the younger people in the area come down and give it a go. George and Kevin were kind enough to come down here today to help us promote the club and we also are going around to the schools looking to get

them to play the game there as well.

“We have had a couple of tough years with regards to staying afloat but I’m fairly optimistic at the moment about where we are going and we want to keep on improving. We can’t rest on our laurels. We have various fundraisers each year to help us to keep going and our next one will take place on Saturday August 26 in Tesco on the Dublin Road. It’s a great club to be part of and hopefully we’ll be around for many more

years to come,” he added.

The club is also home to many different nationalities with Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Welsh and Australian players amongst their ranks.

One of their three Aussies is Glen Armstrong who joined in 2015.

“When I left Australia to come to Dundalk I thought that my cricket playing days were probably over so I couldn’t believe it when I read in the paper that there was a local team

here in town. I joined straight away and the guys were so welcoming. It’s a great club and I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time playing with them,” stated the Queenslander.

Dundalk Cricket Club will have their annual bag pack fundraiser on Saturday August 26 in the Tesco Extra on the Dublin Road. If anybody is interested in joining the club or having a look at the set up they can contact Derek on 087 262 7893 or through Facebook.

Childcare services in Louth set to improve

Childcare services in Louth are set to improve following the announcement of an extra €94,800 worth of government funding for extra childcare spaces for school age children in the county.

The funding is part of a €4m cash injection into childcare services nationally to help tackle Ireland’s childcare system which is one of the most expensive in Europe.

The extra money will improve childcare services for children of school going age and make life easier for parents and families.

The first two strands of this funding announced will help create over 5,000 extra childcare places in 225 school age childcare services nationwide.

The extra spaces will further increase capacity ahead of new childcare supports which will benefit up to 70,000 children from September.

According to Fine Gael TD Peter Fitzpatrick the funding will be available from September and he urged all parents to log on to affordablechildcare.ie to see what supports are available for their family.

“We are determined to reach out to parents and inform them of the supports that will be available to them from this September.

“The funding announced for School Aged Childcare services, totalling €94,800 here in Louth, will be used for the establishment of new SAC services as well as the expansion of existing services.

“The following local childcare services have received funding under the scheme: Pugwash Bay Limited, Ferndale Creche & Montessori,Respond!, Periwinkles Preschool, Rachael’s Room, Absolute Angels Creche and Montessori and Little People Pre-School,” stated Deputy Fitzpatrick.

“As Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, Katherine Zappone has said, this is the first big step, but there is still much work to done in this area".

Dáil Bar facilities require ‘urgent and serious’ reform

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams TD has said that the operation of bar facilities within the Oireachtas requires urgent and serious reform.

Mr Adams added that outstanding Dáil Bar tabs owed by members of the Oireachtas should be paid immediately and that all future bills should be settled within the time allocated by the Oireachtas.

Teachta Adams said: “The operation of bar facilities within the Oireachtas demands urgent and serious reform.

“The Oireachtas is a workplace. The idea of a bar, open until any hour of the morning, where important legislation affecting the lives of citizens is being debated, is unacceptable.

“I raised this issue many times with the previous Ceann Comhairle and with the Committee of Procedures and Privileges.

“Regrettably, those with the power to address the issue refuse to do so.

“It is baffling that Dáil bar opening hours are operated on the basis of parliamentary privilege. This means that it is unregulated and not subject to the normal licensing laws. This needs to change.

“In the past, we have had the scandal of Oireachtas members voting while under the influence of alcohol.

“It is also totally unacceptable that staff should be stuck in Leinster House, sometimes to the early hours of the morning, just because some TD wants an afterhours drink.

“I feel very strongly that the operating of the bar facilities within Leinster House should be properly regulated. I will be raising this matter, once again, when the Dáil resumes in September.”

Commenting on the issue of outstanding tabs on the Dáil bar, Mr Adams said; “Outstanding tabs in the Dáil bar should be paid immediately and all future bills settled within the time allocated by the Oireachtas.”

Two local teenagers, Beth Deery and Doireann McElroy represented Louth at Foróige’s Leadership for Life International Youth Conference in Kildare last week. The girls were joined by Drogheda’s Jason Nolan and Rebecca Adams, in representing the Wee County at the conference that brought together 250 teenagers from India, the USA and Ireland to learn how to become leaders in their own lives.

During the week-long conference the teens learn crucial life skills such as empathy, decision making, communication skills, critical thinking and teamwork.

Seán Campbell, CEO of Foróige, said“The Leadership for Life programme enhances the vision, passion and idealism of young people by teaching them key leadership skills and challenging them to use these skills practically.

“Great leadership is grounded in respect and the ability to inspire. In the week ahead these young leaders will uncover the greatness within themselves and their own unique leadership style.

“Through challenging young people to explore their own values, and express themselves in ways they may not be used to, they develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and empathy.

These skills are crucial in all walks of life.”

—Sadly missed and never forgotten by your loving daughter Michelle, son-in-law John and grandsons, Adam and Sean. Anniversary Mass on Sunday, 13th August, at 12 noon in St. Nicholas Church.

Dundalk Gaels remembered one of the proudest days in their club’s history when they put a medal from their 1952 Senior Championship winning team on permanent display in the clubrooms.

At a very enjoyable function on Tuesday July 25, Mrs Della Leonard presented a Senior Championship medal won by her late husband, Joe, to the chairman, Noel Connolly. The medal is to go on permanent display in the clubrooms.

Aside from being an outstanding defender, winning championship and league medals with Gaels and the Clan na Gael club in Dublin, Joe was a leading referee.

He took charge of championship finals in this and other counties, and was in constant demand for county games. He played inter-county with Louth and Dublin, winning a Leinster Championship match with Louth in 1943.

He was also a legislator, acting as club chairman in 1952, the year in which he won the last of his three senior championship medals, and was Co Board vice-chairman for a number of years.
