Lecturers and researchers at DkIT have stated that the reason behind their decision to take strike action is in an effort to save the institute. It has been revealed that strike action will commence on Tuesday November 19 after staff recently voted 99.1% in favour of Industrial Action and Dundalk IT TUI Branch Secretary Kevin Howard outlined the reason for the strike. “Our members cannot stand idly by while the future of the Higher Education in the region is placed in jeopardy; we are striking to save DkIT,” he stated. “Staff feel the Institute have been led to the edge of a chasm and the preferred

policy of the President’s Office appears to be to ignore the overwhelming staff support and overwhelming independent evidence in favour of pursuing Technological University status, and instead tip DkIT over the edge of a cliff. “While we are facing a range of industrial relations issues with the current management, given the existential threat to DkIT’s future that missing out on Technological University status represents, staff are resolved to engage in a prolonged period of industrial action, including strike action, to wrestle the Institute back from the cliff edge to which it has been led, and place DkIT firmly on the road to University status so that it can continue Continued on Page 2

We are striking to save DkIT—union

From Page 1 to serve the educational needs of the people of the region on a equal footing with ever other third level Institute in the country,” added Mr Howard. The dispute revolves around what the union perceives as a lack of meaningful consultation on the Institute’s strategic future, and a proposed new “fifth school” that the TUI claims violates national and local agreements. TUI members are also in dispute over what they describe as ‘attempts to suppress open discussion in the Institute’s forums’ and ‘an increasingly autocratic and dysfunctional style of management.’

Immediate staff concerns are focused on the issue of Technology University status. As DkIT’s Governing Body is due to adopt a new strategic plan in December, fears are growing amongst staff that their overwhelming preference for the Institute to pursue Technological University status, which they regard as essential to safeguarding the Institute’s future, will be ignored by

DkIT’s President’s Office in order to pursue a plan that the Union describe as ‘a vague and impractical alternative plan for which there is no legislative basis, no supporting evidence or realistic means to achieve, and which, if adopted by the Governing Body would impoverish the Institute, squander the opportunity to attain University status, and effectively see DkIT

crash out of higher education and into a precipitous decline.’ Dundalk IT TUI Branch Chair Kenneth Sloane stated that members’ concerns regarding the strategic future of the Institute have been greatly elevated by what they claim is a persistent lack of transparency from management. “All this is occurring in the absence of any meaningful consultation with staff representatives as, despite their claims to the contrary, Institute Administration have refused to engage with the TUI regarding the development of the new strategic plan,” he stated. “Staff feel the necessity to pursue Technological Uni-

versity status has long been obvious and are increasingly bewildered by the continuing prevarication of management and the precarious position DkIT has been placed in as the last Institute of Technology outside the TU Process.’ “One of the consequences of management’s decision to remain outside the TU process that is already being felt is DkIT’s ability to access substantial Government funding is now severely restricted. The Department of Education recently announced a €90 million fund to assist IoTs to develop into Technological Universities, funding which DkIT alone is excluded from,” continued Mr Sloane.

Broadband plan costs twice as much in Louth as Armagh

Fianna Fáil TD Declan Breathnach has questioned why the Broadband rollout cost to Louth is twice that of Armagh. Fianna Fáil spokesperson on cross-border co-operation Declan Breathnach has questioned why the preferred bidder for the state’s National Broadband Plan is rolling out broadband in the North

for less than half of the cost. Granahan McCourt, which is the preferred bidder for the National Broadband Plan, is bidding for Project Stratum, an initiative to roll out broadband to 100,000 premises in rural areas in the North. Breathnach said “Highspeed broadband is vital and long overdue to rural

Ireland, but we cannot write a blank cheque for the companies who are responsible for the service. The National Broadband Plan will cost about €5,000 per household, while Project Stratum will cost about €1,900 per household. “The same company is going to roll out the same service, in the same coun-

try, but is doing so for three times the price. While I accept that the plan to provide broadband in the two jurisdictions are different, the price difference raises further questions about the value for money which have been achieved through the tender process.” Breathnach concluded “Other companies have said that they can deliver

the same service for half the price of the National Broadband Plan. Granahan McCourt itself is willing to provide broadband in two parts of Ireland at hugely different prices. The Minister for Communications needs to outline why it costs over twice as much to deliver broadband to Louth as it does in Armagh.”

Manager of the Year gong for Vinny Perth

Dundalk FC head coach Vinny Perth ensured the PFAI Manager of the year trophy remains in Dundalk for at least another twelve months following an excellent opening season in the job. Vinny took over the hot seat at Dundalk from his predecessor Stephen Kenny who left to take up a role with the Irish U21 side. Perth had huge boots to fill following Kenny’s magnificent trophy laden six year stint at the club but he took the challenge on without fear and came within a penalty shootout of securing an historic first treble for the club. Perth, who served as Stephen Kenny’s assistant manager during those six successful years won the league at a canter with closest rivals Shamrock Rovers eleven points behind come the end of the season. There was also a successful EA Sports Cup run which culminated in a penalty shootout victory against Derry City.

PFA Ireland Premier Division Manager of the Year Vinny Perth.

Unfortunately for Vinny the season ended last week on somewhat of a sour note as his side lost a penalty shootout to rivals Shamrock Rovers in the FAI Cup final in the Aviva stadium. However, when it came to picking the manager of the year the result was never really in

doubt with the Tallaght man seeing off Rovers manager Stephen Bradley and Bohemians supremo Keith Long to nab the award. Dundalk’s dominance in the league ensured that they had five players included on the PFAI team of the year with Sean Gannon, Sean

Hoare, Chris Shields, Michael Duffy and Patrick Hoban all making the cut. Gannon and Duffy were also in the running for the player of the year award but were beaten to that award by Rovers Jack Byrne who has enjoyed a stellar season with the hoops.

Residents left devastated by quarry decision By Paul Byrne

Residents in Ballymakellet have ben left ‘devastated’ following An Bord Pleanala’s decision to re-open a stone quarry in their community. Residents had been fighting for years to ensure the quarry remained closed citing concerns of air pollution, traffic issues, pollution to local rivers and wildlife as well as damaging the value of their houses. The quarry which has been out of commission since 1962 was due to re-open again in 2015 when Buncorp Group Ltd were given conditional planning permission by the local authority to begin work again at the site. Residents successfully blocked that attempt to re-open the quarry following a number of objections which were lodged to An Bord Pleanála by over 70 people in the community. However, last November Louth County Council gave conditional planning permission to Arabtec Capital Unlimited to re-open the quarry, a decision which triggered another round of objections from local residents. This time however the residents were defeated with An

Bord Pleanála backing the local authority’s decision to re-open the quarry. PJ Finnegan who is a member of the Ballymakellet and District Resident’s Group described the decision to re-open the quarry as ‘devastating’ before admitting that there were no more avenues left for the group to contest the decision. “Unfortunately, I think this is the end of the road for us with regards to our fight to keep the quarry closed. The only option left for us is a judicial review which would be hugely expensive and if we’re being honest it is highly unlikely we would get the ruling overturned. As a community we are devastated with An Bord Pleanála’s decision and we are struggling to come to terms with the lack of consistency shown over the last number of years. “We have been fighting this battle since the early 1990s and during that period there have been four rulings with regards to re-opening the quarry with two going for us and two against. Where is the consistency there? It’s either fit for purpose or it isn’t so having denied Buncorp

planning permission back in 2015 we are struggling to see how they can reverse that decision now. It’s incredibly frustrating for the residents in the area who have major concerns about pollution, traffic and structural damage to their houses in some cases. “There will be forty-two trucks a day minimum going to and from the quarry which will have a huge impact locally. The only good thing we can take from the whole thing is that the planning permission was granted with 23 strict conditions attached to it. Our focus from this point on will be to ensure that every single one of these conditions are met going forward. We have been involved in this battle for a long time and we’ve picked up a lot of knowledge and information along the way so we will be testing noise measurement levels as well as bringing people in to ensure that wildlife and plantation in the area are not adversely affected by the work which will take place in the quarry. The decision is very disappointing as I’ve said already but at this stage we are just going to have to accept it,” admitted PJ.

Dundalk finish season on a high

Victorious Dundalk FC with all four trophies won this season. By Paul Byrne

Dundalk finished a magnificent season on a high as they demolished Linfield to claim the inaugural Unite the Union cup on Monday evening. Having drawn the first leg 1-1 on Friday evening in Windsor Park the Lilywhites proved much too strong in the return leg scoring six of the best to see off the Northern Irish league champions. An early goal from Georgie Kelly set the tone for the evening

and when Brian Gartland and Jamie McGrath added a second and third it was game over by half-time. Dundalk were hungry for more goals in the second half and they had a fourth when Robbie Benson scored the goal of the night in the 65th minute. Benson left the field shortly afterwards to a standing ovation with the Oriel Park faithful saying goodbye to the talented 27-year old midfielder who is leaving the club after four successful years. Benson confirmed his departure after

the game with St Patrick’s Athletic strongly tipped to be his next destination. Dundalk poured more salt into Linfield’s wounds with further goals from Georgie Kelly and Pat Hoban to seal an emphatic 6-0 victory as they added the Unite The Union cup to their league trophy, EA Sports cup and Presidents Cup victories. The only blemish on a fantastic debut season for Vinny Perth was last week’s penalty shootout loss to Shamrock Rovers in the final of the

FAI Cup. It is set to be a busy off-season for the club with rumours of further departures including Jamie McGrath who seems set to try his luck in England. The club confirmed the signing of Derry midfielder Greg Sloggett who will now play his trade for the champions next season. The 23 year old received rave reviews for his performances for the Candystripes last season and will help bolster Dundalk’s midfield as they aim to reclaim their league title next season.

Dormant accounts boost for community groups Community organisations in disadvantaged areas of Louth are set to benefit from Dormant Accounts funding, a Fine Gael Councillor has said. Money in the Dormant Accounts Fund can be used to fund measures that address economic, social, or educational disadvantage and to support people with a disability. The 2020 Action Plan allocates funding of €45.5 million to 43 measures to be delivered across 9 Government Departments. Cllr. John McGahon said: “The dormant accounts funding provides funding to people who need it across the country. “I am delighted that the Dormant Accounts Action Plan 2020 will provides funding of over €45 million to help address disadvantage right across Ireland. The measures in the Action Plan address challenges such as social inclusion, homelessness, assisting migrants, support for carers and promoting inclusion in sports. “The funding is having a huge impact; for example, it is providing support of €5.5 million for the Social Innovation Fund Ireland; €3 million for the Senior Alerts Scheme; and €2 million to support Social Enterprise development in Ireland. “It also provides €250,000 to

contribute to necessary emergency safety works in community centres in disadvantaged urban areas. All of these measures are helping people in our communities here in Louth and is providing tangible social and economic benefits. “The measures will provide much needed support for economically, educationally and socially disadvantaged groups and the disabled. Cllr. McGahon said: “The level of funding through Dormant Accounts has grown substantially in recent years, for example, the €45.5 million approved here compares to €28.5 million approved in the 2016 Action Plan.”

Fairways Hotel to create 110 local jobs Marking a new chapter in its history, the four-star Fairways Hotel, Dundalk opened on Friday November 8, following an extensive build with a €12m investment, and the creation of 110 jobs in Dundalk town. First opened in the 1960s, the original Fairways Hotel, Dundalk was for many decades a cherished destination in the north-east of Ireland. In November 2015, the site of the former Fairways Hotel was purchased by successful businessman and former hotelier, Pat O’Callaghan, who committed to bringing new life to hospitality in his

hometown region. The rebuild of the Fairways Hotel was carried out by East Coast Catering, led by owner and Dundalk-native, Pat O’Callaghan, together with company directors, Denis Williams and Brian Byrne.

Speaking at the private launch event to an audience of over 300 guests on Thursday November 7, owner and director, Pat O’Callaghan revealed his delight at being involved in the project.

“It is an honour to return to my hometown of Dundalk, to build a brand new hotel on the Fairways Hotel site from the ground up and revive this iconic property together with iNUA Hospitality. With our investment in Dundalk and the creation of 110 employment opportunities at the Fairways Hotel, we hope to refresh hospitality in the northeast, at this particularly crucial time for our region,” he stated. The Fairways Hotel will be managed by one of Ireland’s leading regional hotel group, iNUA Hospitality, who have also supported the owners with the open-

ing of the hotel. With an ever-growing collection of four and fivestar properties across Ireland, hotels owned by iNUA Hospitality include Muckross Park Hotel & Spa, Killarney, The Hillgrove Hotel & Spa, Monaghan, The Tullamore Court Hotel, The Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel, and the Radisson Blu hotels in Athlone, Cork, Limerick and Sligo. The Fairways Hotel Dundalk has been reimagined to embrace the needs of today’s leisure and business guests, as well as the local community. The hotel boasts 113 rooms and suites, wedding venue facili-

ties, and a conference centre with capacity for 900 attendees. Multiple dining experiences will be offered on-site at The Brasserie restaurant. Fairways Hotel General Manager, Andrew Walker added: “For more than 50 years, the Fairways Hotel has been a place of precious memories for our local community and former guests. We are overjoyed to open the doors of the newly built Fairways Hotel today and along with my entire team, we look forward to welcoming return guests, new guests, friends & neighbours to the Fairways Hotel over the coming weeks”

Volunteer award nomination for Eric

Dundalk man Eric Beggs has been nominated for a National Volunteer award in recognition for his tireless work for Fighting Blindness. The Lisdoo Road man has been nominated with two other volunteers in the Health and Disability category for the annual awards ceremony which will take place in the Carlton Hotel in Blanchardstown on the 6th of December. Eric was diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in his forties and has no eyesight left as a result. His friend Peter Coleman, who is sadly now deceased, introduced Eric to Fighting Blindness and fundraising. Since then, Eric has completed treks, tandem cycles, Easter egg hunts, church gate collections and more to raise money for the charity. He has organised events every single year for the past 15 years, spending his personal time tirelessly fundraising and raising awareness. To date Eric has raised in excess of €150,000 for Fighting Blindness through these fundraisers. He began fundraising primarily through church gate collections and taking part in sponsored walks. However, in 2014 he decided to take his fundraising one step further and started the annual Cooley Mountain

Eric Beggs.

Trek. The event was a sponsored trek through the beautiful Cooley Mountains. Eric organised the whole event with the help of his family. He secured lots of local sponsors, refreshments for participants, post-event entertainment and lots of coverage in local media. The inaugural event raised €7,217 and Eric went on to run six more Cooley Treks before his last one in 2019. The final 2019 Cooley Mt Trek raised €10,500! According to Eric he is humbled to be nominated for the

award while insisting that the real heroes are those that work tirelessly every day to try and find a cure for blindness. “I have organised many events over the years and I have to say that the people of Dundalk have been so generous and kind towards me. I don’t care what I have to do as long as it works and helps to find a breakthrough in the fight against blindness. I think it’s probably too late to find something to help me now but, as long as there is breath in my body, I’ll keep working until they find something that can help younger people from losing any more sight,” promised Eric. “I was a bit taken aback when I was told that I had been nominated for a volunteer of the year award by Fighting Blindness. For me it’s a passion to try and help others and I think the work that Fighting Blindness are doing is unbelievable. For me the guys and girls working everyday trying to find cures for not just blindness but all sorts of diseases are the real heroes. But I am grateful for the nomination and I will travel to Blanchardstown next month for the award ceremony,” stated Eric. To date Eric has raised €150,000 for Fighting Blindness through fundraising activities.

Clem Walshe claims narrow victory at Dundalk Golfer of the Year Clem Walshe took Sunday’s 14 Hole Singles Stableford competition with an excellent nett score of 35pts. It was enough to give him a one-point victory over fellow five handicapper Colin Roche and he also recorded the day’s best gross score of 31pts in what was a fine round of four birdies, nine pars and one bogey from a very consistent player who had just 19 putts for the 14 holes. Roche took Category 1 from Kevin Redmond (11) who finished on 33ptswhile Leslie Toal (18) showed that form is temporary but class is permanent

as he made a welcome return to the prizes after a long absence. Toal finished on 32pts but his 22pts over the last nine holes was enough to pip Tom Clarke on countback for the Category 2 prize. Ray Pepper (19), who took the Category 3 prize, was another player showing a return to winning form with his 33pts edging out the reliable Jimmy O’Connor (19) by a single point. Fionn Cunningham (18) with 30pts took the Juvenile Prize. The GUI announced their national, provincial and regional coaching panels for 2020 last

week with Walker Cup star Caolan Rafferty retaining his place in the national panel while Zak Alderdice and Joseph Laverty are on the Leinster U16 Regional Panel and Louis Goodman is on the U14 panel. There were Top 20 finishes for Caolan Rafferty, Josh Mackin and Eoin Murphy in the third round of the R & A Student Series last week at the Centro National de Golf in Madrid. Making his first appearance in the Series, Rafferty shot a two under par 70 in the final round to finish third overall on two over after opening rounds of 75 and 73.

Mackin, who won the second round of the series in Carton House in September, had been lying third going into the final round after opening with a 76 and a 69 which was the joint best round of the week. However, he shot 80 in the final round and finished 11th overall. Murphy shot round of 77, 75 and 75 to finish in 17th place overall which was two places better than his position in the second series. The leading players in the Series after the fourth event in Portugal will be invited to the Tour Series Final in Carnoustie and St Andrews next year.

Funding for 23 climate and biodiversity projects in Louth €25,300 has been allocated to 23 climate and biodiversity projects in Louth, Fine Gael Councillor Cllr. John McGahon has revealed. “I am delighted to confirm the funding to successful applicants around Louth. All of these initiatives are de-

termined to tackle climate change and promote biodiversity in our local areas,” stated Cllr McGahon. “Local, community led initiatives are crucial to delivering the ambition set out in the Climate Action Plan. These projects offer people a tangible, practi-

cal way to do their part to tackle the climate challenge and feel more connected to their local community as a result. “We have a short window of opportunity. We must act now and get behind the transition to a more sustainable path for future generations.”

Bothered with Ear Wax?

Known by the medical term “cerumen”, earwax is a waxy substance secreted by glands in the ear canal. It provides a protective film on the skin of the meatus (canal) and assists in cleaning and lubrication, while also protecting against bacteria, fungi and insects. Healthy earwax is usually orange or yellowish colour. Most people have will have an occasional problem with earwax however, to some, it is a frequent bother causing temporary deafness, irritation and even infections. GOOD NEWS FOR YOU The good news is that expert help is at hand for those with earwax concerns at APEX Hearing’s audiology clinic in Drogheda. “The best method for earwax removal is Microsuction as it is the safest and most thorough process but we also perform ear irrigation when appropriate” says Frank McGrath, APEX Hearing’s Director of Audiology “and we photograph your ear canal before and after so you can see as well as hear and feel the benefit.” For those with chronic problems including recurring infections APEX Hearing will create a personal ear health management plan for you including follow up visits. Until the end of November they have a special offer price of €50 for one or both ears (normal price €70) with “Earol” and “Audiclean” wax management products at €9 and €10 respectively. “We don’t just ‘remove wax and pack you out the door’” explains Frank, “we listen, work with you, get to understand your specific case and tailor treatment specifically for you”. “Patients with perforated

Tusla Education Support Service or tess is launching its first national, School Attendance Drive ‘Every School Day Counts’ to promote regular school attendance. Each school day approximately 60,000 students miss school in Ireland. tess is running an attendance drive throughout the month of November, when attendance traditionally dips, to encourage and promote the importance of regular school attendance with children, young people, parents and schools. In addition tess believes that attendance is everyone’s business and encourages the wider community to come on board and endeavour to make ‘Every School Day Count’ this November and throughout the school year. Over 1700 schools right across the country have already signed up to the drive and will be running attendance initiatives in their schools throughout the month. During the launch, the service will also be unveiling its new name

and logo as part of its brand refresh project, to highlight the integrated supports available through its three service strands – Educational Welfare Service; Home School Community Liaison Scheme; and School Completion Programme. The three services work with children, young people, parents, schools and community family support services to improve attendance, participation and retention.

Addressing over 350 attendees, including government representatives, education professionals, children and young people, Bernard Gloster, Chief Executive of Tusla said, “Research has shown again and again that regular school attendance is vital in helping children get the best possible start in life. It lays the foundation for developing good social skills, building relationships and achieving success later in life. Children

who attend school regularly are more likely to stay in school and achieve better educational outcomes.” Noel Kelly, Director of Tusla Education Support Service, added, “Access to education is a child’s right. We know that investing in education is the most effective way of offsetting the impact of poverty and helps create a level playing field, which gives children from disadvantaged backgrounds a better

chance to reach their potential. Equal access to educational opportunities has the power to pull families and communities out of the cycle of poverty which in turn can help generations to come. The focus of our work in tess is to give additional support to the most marginalised 8% of children and young people in our education system who are most likely to leave school early without any qualifications.” Speaking about the rebrand, Noel said: “I’m also delighted to be here today to reveal our new name and logo. The overall aim of the process is to educate the public on the services we provide to ensure that anyone in need of support, can access the right service, at the right time. Over 150 children, young people, parents, schools and staff were engaged in this brand refresh process, to ensure the new name and look resonated with its users and reflected the supportive services it provides.”

SF selects two to contest election

Fergus McCann (centre) celebrates his victory in the Leinster League

Cyclo-cross victory for Fergus in Leinster League The cyclocross action moved to Co Meath last weekend where Oldcastle Cycling Club hosted a muddy and wet race as part of the Leinster League. First up for Cuchulainn was Michael O’Rourke in the under 10s and he continues to make big improvements. In the under 12s Ryan Haughey and Felim McEnteggart had a great battle for the podium, with Felim eventually taking third place ahead of Ryan’s fourth. Not far behind was Shane Meegan. In the under 12 girls Grace O’Rourke got off to a great start and was moving very well, however as the race progressed it was her teammate Ffionn Dolan who pushed

on through to finish second. This result coupled with other recent results sees Ffionn lead the Leinster league. Holly McCaffrey also had a great race in the under 12s to finish fourth. The under 14s faced the challenge on the full senior course with muddy conditions and a challenging section through the forest. Callum McCaffrey, Eoin Haughey and Rhiannon Dolan were all competing and gained valuable experience in the tough conditions. In the senior event the club was represented by Dermot O’Rourke, Karl Dolan and Fergus McCann. Fergus put in the best performance to take victory in his age group.

Imelda Munster TD and Councillor Ruairí Ó Murchú have been selected by Sinn Féin members to contest next year’s general election on behalf of the party. The selection convention was held in the Grove Hotel in Dunleer and was attended by Sinn Féin members from across the constituency of Louth and East Meath, as well as Gerry Adams TD and former Louth TD Arthur Morgan. Councillor Ruairí Ó Murchú has been a formidable force on Louth County Council since 2017. During this time he has used his position to highlight many of the issues affecting the people of Louth. Ruairí is currently campaigning for a Primary Care Centre and a CAMHS facility in Dundalk. He is the Chairperson of Louth Drug and Alcohol Forum and is very active on community safety and works with the Gardaí and other

agencies to tackle drug abuse. “I am ambitious for Louth, I believe that different choices should be made and that’s why I want to retain two Sinn Féin TDs for this constituency,” stated Mr Ó Murchú. “I do not want to live in a country where children are forced to eat, sleep and live on the streets, where people wait years for medical procedures, where families cannot access

respite and other essential supports. “I want to live in a United Ireland with an equitable health system, where people have the right to a home, where the economy serves the people rather than the other way around,” he added. Imelda Munster TD also spoke of their delight at being selected once again. “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to stand for election on be-

half of Sinn Féin again. I am proud that the people of the Louth and East Meath constituency elected me to represent them in Leinster House in 2016, and I have worked tirelessly on their behalf in that time. “If elected next year I will continue to work hard for my constituents, standing up for the people of Louth and East Meath and holding those in power to account. “I’ve consistently

No Uniform Day At Ardee Community School A No Uniform Day was held in Ardee Community School on Friday the 25th of October. This was organised by the Student Council, led by Chairperson Kate Minogue.

raised the issue of nursing homes doublecharging residents, and I have legislation tabled to end that scandal. “I will also continue to fight the Government on the scandalous housing crisis and lack of affordable homes in Louth and across the state, hospital appointment waiting lists and other health issues, such as cancer patients having to fight to get medical cards,” she added.

Measures to deal with problem of ‘boy racers’ Sinn Fein Councillor Antóin Watters has welcomed confirmation of extra resources to deal with the scourge of so called ‘boy racers’ in the North Louth area. At last week’s Joint Policing Committee meeting, Cllr Watters raised the issue with Gardaí by stating that immediate action was needed. “We urgently need to have this issue addressed before someone is seriously hurt or killed. The number of incidents reported to me by concerned residents and citizens over the past few weeks has intensified,” he stated. The Gardaí confirmed to Cllr

PROPERTY/RENTALS

the Gardaí need to have a focussed effort on apprehending these people who are using the border as a ‘safe passage’.” The Gardaí confirmed to Cllr Watters that they are liasing with the PSNI on a daily basis and are aware of potential targets and are carrying out extra checkpoints in the border corridor. Cllr Watters is asking all residents in the North Louth area to report anything suspicious and to look out for each other in their neighbourhoods, especially in the rural areas and to help the Gardaí in whatever way you can to make our communities safer.

Specsavers launches children’s writing competition CHILDREN in Dundalk are being encouraged to enter Specsavers’ nationwide writing competition, which celebrates its sponsorship of the Junior and Senior Irish Children’s Book of the Year categories at the An Post Irish Book Awards. Inspired by a cartoon drawing of a young boy and his dog who discover magic glasses, children in Dundalk are being asked to create a short story, no longer than 500 words, beginning with the sentence; ‘I found some magic glasses...’

Speaking about the competition, store director at Specsavers Dundalk, Martina Kelly says: “We are delighted to, once again, sponsor the children’s categories at the An Post Irish Book Awards this year as well as launch this fantastic competition. It is a great opportunity for budding authors in Dundalk to show their writing talents. Children have the most wonderfully creative imaginations, so we are very excited to see what corners of the universe their stories take us to this year.” The competition is open to

children and teenagers up to 16 years of age. The winner of each category will win €1,000 for their school library along with all of the shortlisted children’s titles for 2019 and will also win the shortlisted children’s titles for themselves. All entries should be posted to: Specsavers Short Story Competition, 
c/o WHPR, 6 Ely Place, Dublin 2 or submit online at www.specsavers.ie/irish-bookawards. The closing date for receipt of applications is Monday, 18 November.

Ice, Ice, Maybe Even if we don’t see significant snowfall this year, we’re almost guaranteed to see temperatures dip somewhat leading to frost and ice on the roads. While ice on the windscreen is most likely to be a factor early in the morning after your car has been idle overnight, depending on temperatures outside it is possible that between the time you arrived at work and the time you leave that the windows could have iced over again. For this reason we recommend keeping an ice scraper and some de-icer in your car so that you’ll always have it to hand when you need it. However, for those who like to be that bit more prepared, it may be worth investing in pre-icer (a spray you can apply to your windscreen and windows before leaving your car idle) which will significantly reduce the build-up of ice on all surfaces and get you on the road faster early in the morning.

Save yourself a winter breakdown Breakdowns are annoying at the best of times, but when combined with cooler temperatures they can be an even greater concern for motorists. To help minimise any inconvenience caused by a breakdown, keep your AA Membership card handy. It can also be a good idea to keep a portable power bar in your car that you can use if your own phone has run out of battery. It can also be a good idea to keep hi-vis clothing, a torch and an emergency warning triangle in an accessible location in your car so that you can make yourself more visible to passing traffic if you have to step out from your car. Maybe its cold outside Our AA Rescue team will generally be on site to attend to a breakdown within an hour, but when temperatures drop even an hour can feel like an uncomfortably long time. For this reason, it’s a good idea to keep

some warm clothes and potentially even a blanket in your car so that you can stay warm while waiting for our roadside rescue team. Food for thought No-one likes being cold and/or hungry, so as silly as it may seem it can be a good idea to have some food in your winter emergency kit (we recommend something with a long-shelf life like a cereal bar… no-one wants to be confronted by a mouldy sandwich in a crisis), along with a bottle or two of water to help keep you or your car hydrated depending on the circumstances. This is particularly important if you have a pre-existing medical condition which could be worsened by any significant length of time without food. We would also encourage motorists to keep a small amount of any medication that you need to take at regular intervals in the car, so that you are not left without if you find yourself stuck in your vehicle.
