Hotly anticipated drama ‘The Virtues’ begins on Channel 4 this evening and the four-part series will feature many local faces from around the town. No less than six local children were chosen for roles in the Shane Meadows-directed drama which is set in Sheffield.

Meadows is a critically acclaimed director best known for his ‘This is England’ productions and his latest series will feature Liverpool actor Stephen Graham who is best known for his role in Snatch where he played Tommy. In the series Stephen returns to Ireland from Liverpool to try and reconnect with his Irish family.

The talented young local actors were unearthed by

casting director Nick McGinley back in 2017. Nick, a Dundalk native who is a former student at Bay Estate National School, travelled around local schools looking for schoolkids who might suit the part and also held open auditions in the Town Hall.

Initially the production team were looking for three local children but in the end six travelled over to Sheffield to take part in the drama series. There were also roles for two of the children’s fathers who were asked to take part when arriving over in Sheffield.

One of the father’s in question is Bay Estate man Glenn Humston who travelled over to Sheffield with his then nine-year old son Zach who was chosen to take part in the Continued on Page 2

“We were so grateful to DkIT for looking after us last year at a moment’s notice and are very happy that this has shown benefits all year since for our students. We have forged very strong links with the Engineering, IT and Ca-

From Page 1 series. According to Glenn his son loved every minute of his time in Sheffield managed to take the whole thing in his stride.

“Myself and Zach went over to Sheffield about two years ago and to be honest we found the whole experience incredible. Zach is part of the flashback scenes in ‘The Virtues’ and his sister in the series is actually a young girl from Dundalk called Aisling so there’s plenty of local interest. I managed to get a part as an extra which was great and I’m really looking forward to seeing the finished product,” stated Glenn.

Zach’s on-screen sister is played by Aisling Glenholmes who according to mother Roisin also took the whole experience in her stride.

It was a great experience for Aisling and I’m looking forward to watching the programme,” stated Roisin.

Fourteen-year old Edward Finnegan from Bishop’s Court will also be in the series having impressed Nick McGinley at a casting session in An Táin theatre. Edward’s mother Brenda said her son had a great time over in Sheffield and said director Shane Meadows and main actor Stephen Graham could not have been nicer.

Cole Cumiskey and his dad Paul also travelled to Sheffield for the series and both can be

seen this evening on screen when the show airs on Channel 4. According to Paul he was a late addition to the series.

“Cole is a member of MAD Youth Theatre here in town and he was chosen by Nick through that. I accompanied him over to Sheffield and when the casting director heard that I’ve been doing a bit of acting over the last four or five years I was also asked would I like a walk on part. I jumped at the chance and the two of us had a great time working with Shane and Stephen.,” revealed Paul.

Carlingford youngster John Brooks also made the trip across the Irish sea with his mother Leanne for the production. According to Leanne John was offered a role as an extra after impressing Nick McGinley at open auditions in St Oliver’s national School.

Weekend of sport to honour Ciaran

The Ciaran Casey Weekend of Sport is fast approaching with Bellurgan FC hosting the tournament once again for the popular annual fundraiser.

The fundraiser started off a couple of years ago as a five a side tournament in Bellurgan but last year organisers extended it into a full weekend of sport. Ciaran’s brothers Sean and Stephen also took part in a number of fundraisers including running a marathon to raise money for the Beaumont Richmond Intensive Care Unit.

Ciaran was a passionate footballer who started a long career playing football with Muirhevna

Mor, Bay United, Shamrocks, and Dundalk Schoolboys. He joined Bellurgan United in 2000 and continued to line out for the club on a regular basis for over 15 years. Ciaran played his last match with Bellurgan United on Sunday, January 18th 2015 before passing away unexpectedly in the Beaumont Hospital the following Friday. The 37-year old father of one had acute leukaemia which had not been diagnosed previously. Ciaran will be forever loved and remembered by his wife and childhood sweetheart, Ciara, and their little girl Sarah, his parents Tom and Briege, brothers Aidan, Stephen and Seán, and wide cir-

cle of family, friends and teammates. Organisers hope this goes in some way to keep the memory of Ciaran alive in the community that he gave so much to during his short yet meaningful life.

Over the last 2 years, fundraising events in Ciaran’s name have proudly raised over €21,000 in aid of the Beaumont Hospital Foundation, and this year, the organisers goal is to raise much needed funds for local charities which were close to Ciaran’s heart. This year for the first time all money raised will be distributed locally to local charities including the Maria Goretti Children’s Respite Centre in Lord-

ship, Co. Louth.

The weekend of sport will kick off on Friday 31st May with a sports quiz in Fergusons Bar, Gyles’ Quay which will start at 9pm. It’s €50 for a table of five and the winning team will receive a prize of €500. On Saturday 1st June a five a side tournament will take place in Flynn Park the home of Bellurgan FC. Kick off is at 2pm and each player will pay €10 to take part. After the games are played there will be a celebration night in the Lumpers Bar, Ravensdale with food and music after the Champions League final. A courtesy bus is available.

On Sunday 2nd June there will be

a junior seven a side football blitz for U8’s and U9’s once again in Flynn Park, Bellurgan. Kick off is at 11am and it will cost €40 per team. The weekend wraps up in Fitzpatrick’s Bar from 6-8pm.

For further details contact Stephen on 0876529225. To ensure the success of this important and poignant fundraiser, we are seeking donations for our spot prize raffle. Would you consider donating a prize to help us achieve our mission?

Alternatively, you could donate a monetary contribution via the online fundraising page: https:// www.gofundme.com/ciaran-caCiaran Casey sey-weekend-of-sport-2019.

Work of over 200 volunteers to play a central role at Redemptorist Open Day The contribution of over 200 different people to the day to day running of the St Joseph’s Redemptorist Church will be at the heart of its upcoming Open Day, taking place in the new St Gerard’s Community Hall on Sunday, May 19.

The Church and Parish is well known by now as very community driven with literally hundreds of people volunteering throughout 12 ministries - Campanology, Pastoral Council, Children’s Liturgy, Martha Ministers, Youth Ministry, St Gerard’s Senior Citizens, Ministers of the Word, Ministers of the Eucharist, Collectors, Altar Servers, May Lach and Ben Quinn of Scoil Realt na Mara, Dundalk which was honoured with Baptism Team and Music Ministry.

Organising Committee Chair the coveted first prize in the Marshes Art for Schools competition

Catherine Shaw said that the Ministry representatives are keen to celebrate at the Open Day. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate the new Community Hall and to allow people have a look around at the fantastic facilities that the ministries now have to hand.

“It’s also an ideal occasion to introduce people to ministries they may not have known about, or may have been interested in but that they have just never got round to contacting someone about.

“Each ministry will have a stand and a representative there to let people know about the work they do and how people can get involved.”

The Open Day is expected to be

well attended not just by parishoners, but also by those who may have moved outside the Parish or those who over the years have gained an affinity with the Community via St Gerard’s Novena etc.

The Day will also feature a ‘Down Memory Lane’ exhibition featuring images and memorabilia evoking happy memories, many of which will have wonderful stories attached and set to be retold by Nicky McCourt.

The Open Day takes place in the new St Gerard’s Community Hall to the rear of St Joseph’s Church on Sunday, May 19 from 3pm with plenty of Children’s entertainment and refreshments served.

Celebrating Dundalk FC at The House.

The Cox’s Demesne Youth and Community Project was first established in 1991. Two derelict unused houses were provided by Dundalk Town Council and were renovated by the people of Cox’s Demesne and its community. The idea for the project grew out of a vision to provide somewhere, within the community, where young people who were excluded from all mainstream programmes, projects and clubs would be welcomed, learn new skills and be given new opportunities. It became known locally as ‘The House’.

The mission of The House is to benefit the community and to enable the personal, social and educational development of young people in Cox's Demesne through the delivery of education programmes and service to encourage selfdevelopment and to be actively involved in their community’s development.

Over the years, the project has grown and developed. A new extension was built in 1996 making the House now equivalent to four house.

While the project would still have a priority for young people at risk, they also offer a general youth service to the community. The House deliver a wide variety of programmes and projects with 250 children & young people availing of their services, such as:

Ciara Solan, SOSAD with Stewart Agnew, Dundalk Credit Union

• An After-School Service (6-12yrs) • Alternative Education Project in Partnership with Ó Fiaich College (13-16yrs) • High Voltage Garda Youth Diversion Project (11-17yrs) • Gaining Ground Probation Project (1618yrs) • North Dundalk Family Support Hub • North Louth Teen Parent Support Programme The House has an excellent voluntary manage-

ment committee of very dedicated people, a super staff team with the interests of the young people always to the fore, young people who inspire & encourage every day and a supportive community.

Clodagh O’Mahony, Manager at Cox’s Demesne Youth and Community Project said “The House is an open, welcoming place where young people can grow and prosper & always feel at home. We believe in each young person and their potential and do everything we can to enable their development. Dundalk Credit Union’s Community Support Fund allows us to continue with our refurbishment programme that increases our capacity to reach out and work, in partnership, with our community.”

Upcoming Events Every year The House coordinates the Redeemer Summer Youth Project which takes place for 3 weeks in July with up to 350 children and young people taking part. It is a very popular project & The House rely solely on fundraising & registration fees around this event.

Billy Doyle, CEO, Dundalk Credit Union added “Dundalk Credit Union was founded by our community of members, they are our cornerstone, the foundation for all growth and development for us.

We see the same community ethos reflected by the team at The House. When you listen to your community and work for your community, the effect and impact is so positive and enabling for everyone. Dundalk Credit Union wish all the staff and volunteers at Cox’s Demesne Youth and Community Project every success into the future.”

A section of the crowd before they set off on Saturday morning.

On Saturday morning as dawn broke, thousands walked from DkIT once again from Darkness into Light on behalf of Pieta House, Ireland’s leading suicide prevention charity.

For the first time this year there was a silent kilometre from Hoey’s Lane to the finish to remember those we have lost to suicide, this was a poignant moment for the many families present.

Seán Kelly, Event Director, commented: ‘We really appreciate and thank all the sponsors, volunteers and stewards who helped make this event possible. Special words of thanks to Sarah and her team from

KSG Catering for hosting us and the contingent of the Redemptorist Choir who provided an amazing warm up performance”.

Pieta House provides round the clock professional support to those seeking help and is available free of charge regardless of your address.

“Our committee will work with other voluntary committees in Ardee, Drogheda, Dunleer and Crossmaglen to bring a Pieta House to the Northeast but we need the continued support of the local community to advocate on our behalf,” added Sean.

Caolan McCabe and Darren Mundow from Coláiste Chú Chulainn spent three days in London on Net Éire and Cooperation Ireland’s ‘Futures in Banking’ programme in Morgan Stanley’s office in Canary Warf.

The 5th Year students participated in employability and skills workshops focusing on student’s social footprint and interview technique and a presentation from the Irish Deputy Head

of Mission, Gerald Angley. The students also visited the trading floor in Morgan Stanley and were shown around by interns at the international firm.

Caolán McCabe from Waterville Crescent described how he networked over lunch with young people working in the City of London and discussed his career paths to their current roles. The Young Irelanders star was taken on a guided tour of

Bloomberg TV Studio in Bank Street and visited the Roman ruins in The City.

Darren Mundow from Bay Estate described the Project Management Exercise where he delivered a presentation to invited guests in the Financial Sector. “We had a private tour of Buckingham Palace to finish off the second day which was exciting as all talk was about the imminent arrival of Prince Harry’s baby boy.”

This was the 10year anniversary of the student Diversity Programme bringing students together from all walks of life to experience what career paths are open to them.

Bean Uí Riodal has brought students from Coláiste Chú Chulainn on the programmee for three years now and students have benefited from the trip in having a clearer plan and making connections for the future.

Scoil Mhuire na nGael students at the awards ceremony

Second class students from Scoil Mhuire na nGael and Castletown Girls National School, Dundalk, Co. Louth were named runners up in the Road Safety Authority’s annual “Hi-Glo Silver” competition for their posters respectively entitled “Go with the Glow!” and “Don’t be a silly billy! Be a clever cat!”. The competition saw entries from over two hundred schools nationwide.

The student’s creativity and innovation was rewarded with a day out in Dublin

Castle followed by a trip to Dublin Zoo. Two Hundred and thirty first and second class school children attended the Road Safety Authority’s annual Seatbelt Sheriff and Hi-Glo Silver Awards on Tuesday in Dublin Castle to celebrate their achievements in the competition.

One of the most energetic road safety events of the year, the RSA hosted children from schools in Cavan, Clare, Cork, Monaghan, Limerick, Louth and Meath to celebrate their excellent dedication to

keeping themselves and their friends and loved ones safe on our roads.

Now in its 15th year, entries to both poster competitions grow year on year.

The awards were presented by Moyagh Murdock, Chief Executive, RSA and David Sheehan, Assistant Commissioner Roads Policing and Major Event Management, An Garda Síochána.

On the competition, Moyagh Murdock, Chief Executive, RSA said: “It is never too early to start educating our

Tributes paid locally to the late Feargal Quinn

Tributes have been paid to businessman Feargal Quinn who passed away at his home in Howth on April 24. The 82-year old had plenty of friends in Dundalk and indeed began his empire in the town with the opening of Quinn’s supermarket on Clanbrassil St in 1960 when just 23 years of age. The supermarket closed in 1982 but Feargal would return to Dundalk with the supermarket which was now called Superquinn as the anchor tenant in Carroll Village Shopping Centre in February 1999.

The late Feargal Quinn on a visit to the Superquinn shop in Dundalk

Former Superquinn employees have been sharing their stories of Feargal whose dedication to his employees and customers have become the stuff of legend.

The Superquinn CEO could often be found in his supermarkets packing bags for his customers and helping out wherever he could.

One of his former em-

ployees in Dundalk was Pauline from Blackrock who paid her own tribute to the popular businessman.

“I was very saddened to hear of Feargal

Quinn’s passing as in my opinion he was the nicest boss you could ever wish to have. I began a four-week training course for Superquinn in February 1999 where we were given a book to read which was written by Feargal called ‘Crowning the Customer’. From the very first time I met him he was warm and kind and he insisted on learning everybody’s first names. He had 5000 people working for him at one stage and every single person got a Christmas card from him each year without

Election candidates are confirmed

Candidates for the upcoming local elections will be stepping up their campaigns over the next couple of weeks as the deadline for May 24th looms large.

60 candidates as well as their teams of canvassers have been busy knocking at doors and pressing the flesh as they aim to claim one of the 29 seats available in the local elections.

There will be plenty of familiar faces looking for re-election but also a number of first-time candidates in the five electoral areas of DundalkCarlingford, Dundalk-South, Ardee, Drogheda Urban and Drogheda Ru-

ral. Last Saturday was the final day for submissions and now it is up to the public to pick the 29 candidates they would like to represent them for the next four years. The full list of candidates for the Dundalk and Ardee areas are as follow: Dundalk-Carlingford: CORRIGAN Edel SF, DALY Eoin GP, DUFFY Roisin FG, GARVEY Eugene SF, KEELAN Conor FF, KELLY Seán FF, McGAHON John FG, McGREEHAN Erin FF, WATTERS Antóin SF Dundalk South: BOYLE Niamh REN, BUTLER Marianne GP, CAMP-

BELL Anne SF, COFFEY Emma FF, DOYLE Maria FG, ENGLISH Linus FG, MORGAN Oliver IND, Ó MURCHÚ Ruairí SF, REILLY Liam FF, SHARKEY Tomás SF, YORE Maeve IND Ardee: BYRNE Albert IND, CARROLL Kevin IND, CONLON Hugh D.

fail. I remember one year when I was sick I received a card in the post from Feargal wishing me a speedy recovery and hoping that I was ok. I’ve heard so many similar stories over the last week from former employees and it’s these little personal touches that stay with you and make you realise what a great person he was.

Superquinn opened its doors on the 23rd of February 1999 and closed almost exactly ten years later on February 27th 2009. I can remember Feargal

coming down to say goodbye to us all on the Monday before it closed which is something he didn’t have to do. I really enjoyed my time in Superquinn and I especially enjoyed having a boss with such a good heart as Feargal Quinn. He was a great man and I have nothing but fond memories of him,” stated Pauline.

Chamber of Commerce P.R.O also paid tribute to Feargal Quinn stating that the businessman had a great love of the region.

“In 2015 Dundalk Chamber in conjunc-

tion with both Newry Chamber and Warrenpoint Chamber made a submission to the All Island Economy Oireachtas Committee.

At that presentation Senator Quinn asked a number of questions which allowed me to expand on the presentation I had made.

The questions were insightful and demonstrated his great love of the Region. Afterwards he followed this up by making a number of marketing suggestions demonstrating his own expertise,” explained Paddy.

DkIT confirms partnership with ABP Food Group

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) has confirmed a new partnership agreement with one of Europe’s leading food processors, ABP Food Group (ABP).

The agreement which will run for three years will include the development of a new DkIT talent up-skilling pathway and increased research collaboration across the science, engineering and business disciplines.

Building on their existing long-standing relationship, the new multi-annual partnership between ABP and DkIT will focus on collaboration through academic programme development, joint-research initiatives, and cooperative marketing and sponsorship opportunities. The partnership will also explore the feasibility of developing a new public-private venture to create a dedicated meat industry R&D facility at DkIT. The agreement was announced

today at the DkIT Industry Showcase which was inaugurated by Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation, Heather Humphreys TD and was attended

by Julie Sinnamon, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Enterprise Ireland.

The DkIT Industry Showcase which took place today was organised by the Regional Development Centre and the Research Office at DkIT and involved participation from more than 100 industry from across the North Leinster South Ulster region. The event included a variety of presentations and workshops from leaders from across industry and academia who demonstrated how engagement has worked in practice and outline how businesses can avail of supports for investment in Research & Innovation. Speakers included Anita Finnegan, CEO at DkIT Spinout, Nova Leah, Martin Kane,

Managing Director and Stuart Murphy, HR Manager of ABP Ireland and Poland, and who jointly led a panel discussion about the importance of industry engagement with Higher Education Institutions.

Minister Humphreys delivered a welcome address at the Showcase and took time to meet with researchers from DkIT’s Research Centres and Research Groups who exhibited at the Showcase. Impressed by the energy and the ideas she encountered, the Minister commented, “Today’s showcase demonstrates the huge potential in higher education institutions in Ireland to convert publicly-funded research into ground-breaking technologies and spin-out companies. DkIT has an excellent track record in this regard and from speaking with the researchers I have met here today I feel confident that this will continue.”

Mothers organise fundraiser for Autism Family Fun Day

By Paul Byrne

Three Dundalk women have launched a fundraising page to try and fill a void locally in relation to resources for autistic children.

Nadine Mulligan, Traci Lennon and Ciara Lennon are on the first steps of a journey which they hope will ultimately see them form a charity which will be a one stop

shop for advice and help for families affected by autism.

Nadine’s son Liam is almost two years old and is currently been assessed in relation to his autism. Traci, also has a son called Martin who is in Junior Infants and he also has autism.

Ciara is Martin’s aunt and she has teamed up with Nadine and Traci to help raise money to

throw a huge family fun day in aid of autism acceptance.

The trio would love to provide a super fun day for all families in the locality, with sensory hours dedicated to kids on the spectrum and also prizes that will directly benefit asd families.

This promises to be an inclusive, fun event for all families. A day filled with laughter,

games and lots of memories to be made. There will be entertainment, stalls, games, sensory area, sensory hours, food and drinks and raffles every 30 mins. It is also hoped that vendors will be available to sell asd related resources at a discount price with much needed items such as weighted blankets etc.

According to Nadine

there is a lack of resources locally to support families affected by autism and she is hoping that this fundraiser marks the beginning of a charity which will remain long after the family fun day to help local families.

“Although it is an autism acceptance event we would like to stress that everybody is invited to come along to our family fun event which we hope to have in August. Obviously, autism is something quite close to our committee’s hearts and we want this to be a sensory friendly event as with regular family fun days can prove to be a bit much for kids with autism who can be affected by the bright

Autism Nadine and Liam.

lights and noise.

“We wish to welcome as many people as possible, families of all shapes and sizes, disabilities or not. We plan to make this such a fun enjoyable day.

“We are currently looking into the steps involved in becoming a regulated charity as

we hope to eventually become a sort of one stop shop to be able to give advice and help to parents of children with autism.

This idea only came to us last week but we’re already very busy organising things and we’ve already secured a venue for August 4.

It’s going to be a busy few months ahead but we look forward to the challenge and we welcome any help and support from people around the locality to ensure we have a great day,” stated Nadine.

One in ten planning switch to electric cars

Hill Street, Dublin Rd., Dundalk.

042 9331515/086 2559201

Almost one in ten Irish motorists intend on ditching their petrol or diesel powered car in favour of an electric model when they next change their car, a recent AA Ireland survey has found.

In response to an AA Ireland survey of over 5,000 Irish motorists, 9.63% of respondents stated that they would likely only consider an electric vehicle when they move on from their current car. Meanwhile, a further 23.56% indicated that while they were leaning towards purchasing an electric vehicle in the near future, they would also consider petrol or diesel alternatives when they next change vehicle.

“Over the last 12 months we have seen an increase in interest in electric vehicles, but it still remains relatively early days in the move away from petrol and diesel cars. At one stage we spoke about electric vehicles as the future of motoring, but that future is already a part of modern-day motoring,” Conor Faughnan, AA Director of Consumer Affairs stated. “Right now, we’re still speaking about relatively small numbers of electric vehicles on Irish road, but it’s likely that the uptake will be somewhat of a hockey-stick style curve.”

“Once people begin to become more comfortable with the idea of electric only cars and accept that current EVs are more than

capable of meeting the driving needs of most people, then demand for these cars will surge quite quickly.”

According to the survey, those over the age of 65 are the most likely to go electric in the near future, with 11.17% of respondents in this age bracket saying they would only consider electric vehicles in the future.

Electric vehicles also appear more popular with those driving in more urban areas, with Dublin having the highest percentage of those only willing to consider electric cars for future purchase with 11.20%.

“Right now, there’s a bit of a misconception that unless you’re

a low-mileage or urban driver than an electric vehicle possibly isn’t right for you. This was true in the early days of electric cars, but as the effective single mileage range continues to increase, electric cars capable of meeting the needs of the majority of drivers are becoming more readily available,” Faughnan added.

“Given the mounting pressure of meeting our international climate change obligations, tackling this perception through increasing the availability and visibility of electric vehicle charging points across the country, particularly outside of Dublin, needs to be treated as an urgent government priority.”
