By Paul Byrne

A young girl from Tallanstown has been honoured with a bravery award after calmly relaying information to ambulance control as her father was having a stroke. Twelve-year old Lauren Brennan was accompanied by her parents John and Claire as she received her bravery award at the National Emergency Operations Centre in Tallaght last week. Lauren was only nine years old when the incident occurred in 2016 and according to her dad John who was born with a genetic

heart condition she showed remarkable calmness and coolness when on the phone to the emergency services, as John recalled. “It was a lovely day so myself, my wife Claire, my daughter Lauren, my son Shaun, a neighbour’s child and our dog decided to go to the park in Tallanstown. When we got there myself and Claire started a treasure hunt for the kids and everything was going grand. Lauren then came over to me to ask me about one of the clues and she immediately noticed Continued on Page 2 John, Claire, Lauren and Shaun.

Dundalk to play FC Riga in Champions League

Dundalk will play Latvian champions Riga FC in the first round of Champions League qualifying. The draw was made yesterday afternoon in Nyon, Switzerland and the Lilywhites will be at home in the first leg on either the 9th or 10th of July. The second leg will take place in Latvia a week later on either the 16th or 17th of July. Given that there are direct flights to Riga it is expected that the ever loyal Lilywhite army will travel in big numbers to watch the latest instalment of Dundalk’s European adventures. This will be Riga’s first foray into the Champions League with the club only founded in 2014. Last year they were defeated in the first qualifying round of the Europa Cup by CSKA Sofia on away goals but later went on to win their first ever Latvian title in a double winning season. They are currently leading the Latvian Higher League on goal difference after 14 games. This is the first year Dundalk have entered the first round as seeded team. There are four rounds in total to progress through to get to the group phase and should Dundalk lose at any stage there European adventures will continue in the Europa League. The winner of the tie will be guaranteed a third round Europa League qualifer, while the loser will go into the second round. Dundalk will find out their potential second round opponents today when another draw is due to take place. Matches will be played on 9/10 and 16/17 July.

Delay criticised

Fianna Fáil TD for Louth and Spokesperson on North-South Bodies & Cross Border Cooperation, Declan Breathnach, has said the problems with the cross-border initiative are a double insult for those who are forced to travel across the border for routine procedures which should be available here. He explained, “The lengthy backlogs, which are leading to reimbursement delays for patients needs to be tackled. At present there are 4,000 applications still being processed with patients waiting months for what should be a reasonably quick turnaround. “The Cross-Border Directive offers people languishing on waiting lists an opportunity to avail of some health services in another European country. They can then recoup costs from the HSE,” he stated.

that the whole left side of my face had started to droop down and I was unable to speak. “She called her mam over straight away who put me in the recovery position on the ground. Claire was attending me and the kids who were understandably upset so it was left to Lauren to call 999 and relay all the information and gather all the instructions from

ambulance control. “Although I couldn’t speak I was aware of my surroundings and I could see Lauren calmly speak to the ambulance control and relay all the information to Claire for about 15 minutes. She then gave them perfect directions to get to the park and within minutes I was in the ambulance and brought to hospital. “I have to say I was very proud of her and how calm and cool she

remained during the whole incident. I’m 38 and I don’t think I would have handled myself as well if the roles were reversed. I’ve had a genetic heart condition since birth which had been deteriorating during the couple of years before the stroke. “Last year it was functioning at about eight percent but then I finally got the call in September just gone to go in for a heart

transplant. I spent four months in hospital away from my family while recovering but thankfully today I am nearly back to my best and almost ready to get back working. “It was a lovely touch from the National Ambulance Service to award Lauren with a bravery award and after her experience she now has plans to become an emergency call John and Claire Brennan with daughter Lauren taker when she leaves who received her bravery award from the Naschool,” noted John. tional Ambulance Service.

Dundalk Karate members train with world champion Hard work and dedication is the name of the game within Dundalk Karate, and with an opportunity to train with World and European Kumite Champion Sensei Junior Lefevre 6th Dan, the clubs members took full advantage of this annual event. With numerous training sessions scheduled over two days, club members of all ages and abilities from all over Ireland travelled to Clondalkin and were put through their paces from the moment they stepped onto the tatami matts. From a simple technique to improve a basic punch to an advanced strategy to improve and enhance a combination or takedown, there was plenty for everyone to learn. With numerous members of Dundalk Karate in attendance

Fun day out for Dundalk Special Olympics Club Dundalk Special Olympics club was invited to Cloghogue Pitch and Putt to spend a fun day at their wonderful venue. Approaching the end of their year, the athletes were delighted to swap usual athletics training for some Pitch and Putt and off they went to Newry on Saturday June 8. Before hitting the course, all received a demonstration of the skills, safety and eti-

quette of Pitch and Putt from Conor and his colleagues. Soon after, the athletes had the opportunity to test their skills on the amazing course. To end a wonderful day out, the athletes were treated with a delicious lunch at The Lisdoo restaurant down Old Newry Road, Dundalk.

Art students make a stand for a local football club Earlier this year, Hunterstown Rovers football club completed the building of their new stand, which has been a huge undertaking for all involved. While it has no doubt been an enormous addition to the club, there has been a certain something missing from it. The art teachers at Ardee Community School approached the club to see if they would be interested in allowing the artistic talents of their 5th Year art students loose on the outer wall which faces the main Ardee - Dublin Road.

This partnership provided a benefit to both parties, the club would get to spruce up the new but rather dull concrete wall and the skills and creativity of the local students would get to be seen and appreciated by all commuters on the busy road. Once given the green light, months of planning, designing and creative painting followed. After many long hours in class, lunchtime catch-ups and after school sessions the boards were finally complete. With the help of Sean McClean, Michael O’Brien and two

willing volunteers from the O’Brien family, the boards (under the watchful eye of both art teachers from Ardee) officially hit the main stage on Saturday May 11. The lifeless greys of the concrete stand have now been transformed with the vibrant and imaginative paintings of a talented group of local students. The hard work, dedication and skills of all involved can clearly be seen in the energetic brush strokes, striking colours and imaginative compositions of the GAA inspired boards.

Paul O’Hare was the winner of Lady Captain Criona O’Reilly’s Prize to Men on Sunday when he shot 69 for the only sub-70 round of the day. He pipped last year’s Golfer of the Year Clem Walshe (5) by one shot on a day when the course off the blue tees proved long and difficult for most of the 197 players who took part. The 28 handicapper took full advantage of the holes where he had two shots particularly the first, seventh, eighth, 11th and 18th where he had nett birdies while parring three of the four par three holes was another major factor in his victory. O’Hare went out in 32 nett and returned in 37 nett for his three part total of 69. Aaron Grant (+1) shot a level par 72 to claim the Gross Prize while Brian Ward (17) shot a nett

72 to take the Veterans Prize and Cillian Halpenny (19) was the Best Juvenile after returning a 76. Conor Murphy (9), Bobby McCarthy (13) and George Rogers (19) won the Category Prizes. Desmond Malone (27) with a fine score of 41pts captured Wednesday’s Open Singles Stableford as he finished four points clear of the field. Congratulations to our Senior Panel who are through to the Leinster semi-final after beating Carton House in last Saturday’s quarter-final in Seapoint. The Jimmy Bruen Shield team was also in action in Seapoint last Saturday but failed to qualify for the next stage as did the Junior Cup team who were in action at Corballis Links. Best wishes to our Newsam Cup team who face Knightsbrook this Saturday.

Best wishes also to Caolan Rafferty who flies the flag for Dundalk in this week’s R&A Amateur Championship at Portmarnock and The Island. After two days of strokeplay qualifying the top 64 will battle it out for one of the most prestigious titles in amateur golf when the tournament moves to matchplay on Wednesday. Caolan got a great boost heading into the tournament when he rose to 22 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings following his third place finish at the St Andrews Links Trophy. Congratulations to Brendan Lawlor who has qualified for the EDGA Scottish Open which is a new 36-hole tournament for Golfers with a Disability that will run alongside the Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick on July 13 and 14.

Sinn Féin Councillor Antóin Watters has welcomed the latest move on tackling the ‘scourge’ of boy racers in the North Louth area. Cllr Watters highlighted the issue once again when it reared its head over the Christmas period. “I received calls from concerned residents of the Feede and Blackgate area of Ravensdale about individuals who

were using the quiet period on the roads to drive excessively and dangerously in the area and then up to Carrickarnon, turn around and back to Ravensdale again. I worked closely with my colleague Cllr Liz Kimmons in the South Armagh area and welcome the operation that took place on Thursday last.” Cllr Watters explained “a

joint operation between the PSNI and Gardaí was mounted along the old Dublin Road in Carrickarnon which straddles the border. Residents in the Carrickarnon, Edentubber and Feede areas have been under siege and have had enough and warmly welcome this new co-operation. “I have spoken to a number of local residents and they are delighted something is finally

been done as it has gone on for far too long and they are sick of having their daily lives disrupted by this dangerous, selfish and reckless behaviour.” Going forward Cllr Watters has promised to “continue to push to ensure this operation continues on a regular basis and let people get back to living their lives in peace.”

Energy leaders from Eirgrid and ESB joined Martin McVicar, Founder of Combilift and Eamon Ryan TD, Leader of the Green Party to discuss the future direction of energy supply and demand at a Future Energy Forum at Dundalk Institute of Technology recently. Held in association with Engi-

Criticism of home help restrictions

Sinn Féin Louth TD Gerry Adams has described the decision by the HSE to restrict new applications for Home Help and Home Support Hours as “deeply regressive and hurtful to the many families and carers who are dependent upon this crucial service.” The HSE has confirmed that it has closed the applications for Home Helps hours and will reduce Home Support hours until next November despite there being more than 6,000 people on the waiting lists. Teachta Adams said: “This week is National Carers Week. It is the 13th week of this annual event

which highlights the critical contribution carers make to people’s lives, families and to their communities. “Research published this week by Care Alliance Ireland, in partnership with the eleven other Carers Week partner groups, reveals that many family carers continue to be unable to leave their own home and depend heavily on online supports for information, support and social connection. This affects many families in Louth,” he continued. He added that this difficult situation will be exacerbated by the decision of the HSE to stop the allocation of home help hours,

and home support hours, to new applicants until November at a time when more than six thousand people, including citizens in Louth, are waiting for access to home care supports. “The impact of this on individuals, especially the elderly and disabled, and their families will be significant. It also will have a serious knock-on effect on the availability of beds for new patients in hospitals. “Patients who could otherwise be cared for at home but cannot be discharged because of the lack of home help supports,” added Mr Adams.

EU renewable energy targets and deadlines formed a key part of discussion. Energy innovation in the NorthEast was a core focus of the event as Martin McVicar, Founder of Combilift, and Jonathan Jennings of Glen Dimplex showcased the technologies and solutions being

Line-up for Louth Contemporary Music Festival

Dance Kids enjoying ‘Rock and Shine’.

The Dance Kids present ‘Here Comes Summer’ An Táin Arts Centre is the place to be on Sunday June 23 when the Dance Kids unveil their latest show ‘Here Comes Summer’. Never one’s to sit still; the Dance Kids have been rehearsing for ‘Here Comes Summer’ since January and have promised that this year’s show will be the perfect event for all the family, with performances to suit all ages.

The talented dancers aged from just four years of age are promising to stage a ‘show-stopping performance’ of the hit Disney film, ‘Hercules’, as well as many favourites from ‘The Monkees’ and ‘Legally Blonde’. The night of entertainment will also include hit songs from ‘The Sound of Music’ and ‘Spice Girls’ to name just a few. If that wasn’t enough, An Táin Arts Centre will be

transported back to 19th Century France when the cast of Les Misérables take to the stage performing the most popular songs from the classic musical. ‘Here Comes Summer’ takes place in An Táin Arts Centre, Dundalk, on Sunday June 23 at 2pm an 7pm and is not to be missed. Book your tickets today at An Táin Arts Centre box office on 042 9332332 or antain.ie.

Over the weekend of June 21 and 22, as the sun shines longest on our northern hemisphere, new music will burst forth in Dundalk. The midsummer sun brings some of the most exciting composers and outstanding musicians from around the world to the town of Dundalk for this year’s Louth Contemporary Music Society’s festival of new music. This year, in the image of a ritual journey, Stations of the Sun will follow the solar cycle in a sequence of five unique concerts in different innovative venues across the town. Festival Director Eamonn Quinn stated ‘It is our mission to bring the most renowned contemporary musicians, performers and composers to Ireland. This year we are particularly proud to showcase ground breaking women composers and musicians from across the globe.’

This year’s programme begins and ends with music by renowned Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, making her first visit to Ireland. Internationally esteemed for her sonic imagination and expressive power, Saariaho works with contemporary digital means and ancient scales to create dreamlike music, loaded with a strong feeling for nature and with primal human emotion. In Dundalk, vocal and instrumental pieces from throughout her career will be performed by musicians with whom she collaborates closely. Stations of the Sun is also proud to present a new work by the Hungarian composer György Kurtág, who, at the age of 92, has recently been acclaimed worldwide for his first opera, setting Samuel Beckett’s Endgame. There will also be a performance of Kurtág’s Bach-inspired HiPar-

tita for solo violin, given by the musician for whom it was written: the extraordinary Hiromi Kikuchi. Music by three diverse composers will follow in the atmospheric and resonant space of the old Dundalk Gaol. Linda Caitlin Smith’s new work comes out of North American minimalism, carrying a care for detail that is uniquely hers and intensely telling. Peter Garland, coming from something of the same background but going very much his own way, arrives with a new piece for string quartet and tenor voice. Pascale Criton uses special tunings to explore very small intervals in music that is mesmerising. Also to be heard for the first time in Ireland are the sonorous voices of the Moscow Russian Patriarchate Choir, in new pieces and venerable chants.

Celebration of indoor football leagues

The County Museum Dundalk with Drogheda Local Voices has organised an afternoon of football reminiscences to be held at the Museum on Thursday June 20 at 2pm. The event is to remember the men’s and women’s indoor football leagues of the late 1960s. At the time indoor football was very popular with GAA players, who managed to avoid the ban on foreign sports as it was seen as entertainment and not soccer. Women were encouraged to play indoor football and this was the

Wheelie Bins

start of the contemporary women’s soccer and Gaelic football. This took place during a time of social change in Ireland, the league represented a modern mentality as Ireland was about to begin significant change. Indoor football was one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the late 1960s with teams travelling long distances to compete and huge crowds gathering to view the matches. Helena Byrne, from Drogheda Local Voices, first documented the history of the Abbey Ballroom

Indoor Football Leagues. Recently she has uncovered information about similar competitions that ran in the Adelphi Ballroom in Dundalk as part of the May Time Festival, the Embassy Ballroom in Castleblayney, the Skating Rink in Blackrock and the Parochial Hall in Inniskeen. According to Helena Byrne this is an aspect of the county’s history that is as yet unwritten. “Thursday’s event will hopefully be of interest to people who either, played or attended those competitions.

“We’d love if they could come along to the event and share their stories. “You have teams like The Casuals from Dundalk who dominated the women’s competitions in Drogheda, but we’d like to know did they feature strongly in the leagues closer to home? “In the men’s competition, the Beatlers from Inniskeen were reported to have been the only team with a supporters’ club, there is such social side to this story that has to be recorded.” Museum Curator, Brian Walsh,

agreed saying that at this time Irish society was just about to change. This was the time of the Ban on foreign games, the role of women is being questioned, people’s social lives are changing in so many different ways and the football leagues were highlighting the transformation that is about to come. “We’d welcome people to join in on Thursday June 20th next to share their memories, photos and memorabilia. No matter how long or short we would like to hear all your stories,” he added.

LEO offer masterclass in attracting silver economy

LEO is offering a masterclass in attracting over 50s

Louth is leading the way in preparing businesses for the needs of the over 50s market and recognising the importance of this market, the Local Enterprise Office Louth, has partnered with the ERASMUS+ AgeFriendlyEconomy. eu programme. The event will feature stories of business owners like Peter Mangan of The Freebird Club who already knows the benefit of appealing to an over 50s audience. His award winning social and travel club for the over 50s is a shining ex-

ample of how to design and/or adapt a business to suit this audience. Project Manager Sarah Mallon explained that EU estimates indicate that the over 50s market, also known as the “Silver Economy”, will be worth over €5 trillion annually by 2025, as she revealed the reasons for staging the event. “We delivered a dynamic, interactive twoday Boot Camp in April for businesses wanting to adapt to the needs of the over 50s market. Now we want to show-

case these companies and the changes they have made to help inform and educate other business owners about the opportunities and supports available. “We’re inviting business owners (or potential business owners) along to a free half day seminar on Wednesday June 26 from 9.30am to 1pm at An Tain Theatre in Dundalk. We’re calling it our Erasmus+ Age Friendly Economy Multiplier event because we’re sharing the knowledge and experience of others who have

already tapped into the Silver Economy.” The Local Enterprise Office in Louth are leading out on this project for Ireland, working in conjunction with other groups in the UK, Spain, Poland and Denmark. This event is open to anyone in business or thinking of starting a business, not just in Louth but across the country. Places at this event are free but limited so pre-booking is advised.
