In the week when children are preparing for their return a local man has expressed concerns about safety near one of the town’s busiest schools.

Local Pearse Park resident Brendan Moore has raised concerns over the noticeable increase in traffic volumes in the area from the Demesnse, Pearse Park to the top of the hill out to McEntee Avenue.

Mr Moore is very concerned that the road is being used as an alternative route to avoid traffic lights

and road works further into town, and is particularly anxious to see safety measures implemented before the children return to school.

“That vehicles are using this route constantly as a shortcut to the town centre. One morning I counted 280 cars, 87 vans, five buses and two lorries all using the route. This was over a 50-minute period in the morning time between 8.20 am to 9.10 am,” stated Brendan.

Mr Moore contacted his local representative Continued on Page 2

Road safety concerns ahead of school return From Page 1

Declan Breathnach to seek the return of proper road signage and traffic calming measures as the area has several primary schools and is a residential area.

Mr Moore wishes to see that additional

signage be put in place closer to the Harp crossing to slow traffic at the pedestrian crossing. He would also like to see the return of a yield or stop sign at priory road to Pearse Park junction and the return of speeds signs which were removed

several years ago to be replaced.

Brendan is very concerned that the increase in traffic, and the speed of the traffic

coming through the area is now a greater hazard to residents, and to children and pedestrians who wish to cross the road at

school entrances.

“With the schools reopening soon, something has to be done to calm the traffic,” stated Brendan Moore.

The council have responded to his request stating that road signage markings will be returned but that no additional speed

limit signage will be added at this location.

However, the local authority is proposing to carry out a traffic count on McEntee

Avenue following the completion of resurfacing works. This is to see if traffic calming measures are warranted.

boxers to date. The elite European championship will see Amy fighting at an Olympic weight of 60 kilos, against experienced and seasoned fighters.

Amy started boxing at the young age of five years, with Dealgan Boxing Club which is based in Marian Park, Dundalk. Preparation for this competition started months ago, firstly training with her Dundalk club and the in Abbotstown for the last six weeks. She will complete her training this week, which will end 12 weeks of serious training.

“She has given her life to the sport. It’s a full-time job and she has made many sacrifices for her sport. Amy started to take boxing seriously at the age of 11 and has very much created a culture for female boxers in Dealgan club. In the last three years we have seen a great increase in interest by female boxers.

We have many competing at an extremely high level. The big dream and goal for Amy is the to compete in the Olympics next year,” said Tony.

Amy on Irish Squad for the European Elite Championship

By Geraldine Kieran

Local female boxer Amy Broadhurst will travel to Madrid this week to compete in the European Elite championship 2019. The tournament will take place from August 24 to 31 and competitors from all over Europe will take part in this year’s tournament.

Four female boxers will make up the squad to represent Ireland at this year’s competition.

The Irish squad consists of boxers Christina Desmond from Cork, Ceire Smith from Cavan and Castlereas Aoife O’Rourke. Amy’s father and coach, Tony, explained that this represents a huge challenge for the Irish boxers.

“There are no weak fighters in this tournament. Everyone is a champion, they all had to qualify to earn their place in the tournament.

This competition will be very tough with over 20 fighters in Amy’s weight category,” he

explained.

This will be Amy’s second bout at this level having fought for the last time at under 22 years age category at the European tour-

nament in Russia last February. Amy holds seven Irish titles and she is the current Irish champion at an Under 22 level. A medal at this week’s tournament

will add to her tally of 15 gold medals and one silver at a European underage level.

The young boxer is by far one of the most successful female Irish

Efforts to secure future of Sruthan House A meeting between Sruthán House service users and their families and Minister for Disabilities Finian McGrath has been urgently requested by Louth TD Imelda Munster as efforts to secure the future of the unit continue.

The Sinn Féin representative has recently contacted the minister asking that he meet with those who use the Dundalkbased respite service which was threatened with closure earlier this summer.

The original decision to close the unit, which has been open for 23 years and has been commended for its high standards of care by HIQA, has been deferred, following outcry in the Dáil from Louth TDs. Earlier this month, Ms Muster wrote to Minister McGrath asking that he meet with service users and their families to hear for himself how vital this respite service is for people in the North East.

The Louth TD first raised the closure of Sruthán House with Minister McGrath a day after it was publicly revealed that the HSE had written to dozens of service users telling them the unit would ‘cease residen-

Imelda Munster TD with Minister Finian McGrath tial provision’ by the end of the year.

The HSE admitted that they had not engaged with service users ahead of the closure decision and deferred it in order to start a consultation process.

Ms Munster said: “When people were originally advised that this service was closing, they were told that they could go elsewhere for services, such as Sligo or Roscommon, or to a nursing home.

“This was an absolutely shocking way to treat people who use a service that has been in place for more than 20 years and has been praised, universally, for the standard of care it provides.

“I think it is important that Minister McGrath hears for himself, from a delegation of service users and their families, just how vital this service is for people in the North East and the devastating impact any decision to close it would have. I have requested that he meet us when the Dáil resumes in September after summer recess,” she stated.

“While I welcomed the HSE decision to defer the closure decision, that in itself provides no guarantees that Sruthán House will remain open and we must continue to highlight the fact this service remains under threat.

“Neither Minister McGrath nor the government can stand over any decision to close or reduce the provision at Sruthán House and he will hear for himself at the meeting just how important it is to those who use it’.

De La Salle College, Dundalk

Repeat Leaving Certificate Programme The Repeat Leaving Certificate Programme at De La Salle College, Dundalk has had fantastic success over many years with most students increasing their points score in the Leaving Certificate Examination by between seventy and eighty-five points. It is not unusual for some students to increase points scored by over one hundred points. Some past pupils of the programme have achieved success at a higher examination level in individual subjects.

De la Salle College, Dundalk welcomes applications from students, both male and female, who have already completed a Leaving Certificate (scoring a minimum of five passes) and who wish to repeat the examination.

Catherine McMahon, Class of 2016, examines her results (585 CAO points) with Principal, Patricia O'Leary.

Features of the programme include: • Dedicated RLC class with experienced teacher in Higher Level English. Dedicated classes for RLC students in certain subjects where numbers applying to take these subjects are sufficient • Comprehensive range of optional subjects • Access to the full range of services at the College, including Guidance Counselling and Pastoral Care • Strong record of success in achieving improvement on previous grades/points Application packs will be available from the school office from Tuesday, 13th August 2019 and the deadline for return of completed application forms is by close of business on Friday, 23rd August 2019.

“Coming to a new school where you know practically nobody was tough but I think the way you organise things helps an awful lot, like having our own lunch area and our own classes (wherever possible). ………I managed to get a C3 in English (H) which I believed was practically impossible for someone who was making the jump from ordinary level to higher level.

(Ciara Byrne, Class of 2016)

Clarity provided ahead of closure of M1 Motorway for roadworks Dundalk Councillor John McGahon has called on Louth County Council and Celtic Roads Group to issue a schedule of works before the proposed M1 road closures.

Cllr McGahon said the clarifications received by the council in relation to the closures will provide a certain degree of relief to commuters.

He called on Louth County Council and Celtic Roads Group to issue a schedule of works to be published before works start in order for commuters to make informed decisions about their journeys in advance.

“Louth County Council received a large number of observations and I received a detailed response from the council in relation to my own observation. The response is positive, however more clarity is required on certain issues.”

In their response, Celtic Roads Group said: “The closure and

Cllr John McGahon

diversions will be within sections of the M1 on various dates within the period advertised and not the entire length of the motorway (Junction 10 to 18). The work will be carried out on either direction of the motorway. However, only one direction will be closed at any one time. Road closures will generally be between two junctions only.

“The good news is that a closure from 7.30pm to 6.30am will be very much the exception rather than the norm. Actual closures

may start after 7.30pm and the road is likely to be re-opened before 6.30am. During a typical road closure, between individual junctions, journey times along the alternative diversion routes will be increase by approximately five to ten minutes.

“While a programme of works is currently being prepared, it is estimated that 20% of the closures will be on the northbound carriageway, 40% on the southbound carriageway with the remainder at Junctions 14 and 16,” the

statement read.

Cllr. McGahon said the response from Celtic Roads Group will provide some sort of relief for commuters, however, commuters need much more clarity about their schedule of works.

“For example, they have said that they will signpost closing times and diversions on the motorway. I think it would be much easier for commuters if the schedule of works was published in advance so commuters can see what days the works are taking place, what sections of the motorway are being worked on and the resulting diversions they will have it take.

“At least if the schedule of works is published, commuters will be able to make informed decisions and plan their journeys accordingly. I have has asked Celtic Road Group and Louth Council Council to publish this schedule as soon as it is available,” he said.

Ladies take part in Lap of Louth

Some of the participants in the Ladies Lap of Louth

On Sunday last as Blackrock basked in glorious sunshine, with the constant threat of rain just around the corner, almost 150 female cyclists arrived in the village for the inaugural Ladies Lap of Louth, a 55km cycle along the Louth coast to Port Beach.

Organised by the Ladies rep Veronica from Cuchulainn Cycling Club and supported by Louth Sports Partnership, the event was a massive success.

The large bunch created a wonderful sight as it rolled through the village at 10am escorted by the Gardaí, before heading for Castlebellingham and up along the coast.

A well-earned fuel stop was set

up at Port Beach, where at which point the riders had faced a headwind all day. From there on it was to Clogherhead, across to Dunleer and home, aided by a welcome tailwind. Back in the sports hall in Blackrock, all the riders enjoyed a cup of tea and something to eat along with a chance to reminisce about their day.

The rain only made a brief appearance as the cyclists left Clogherhead, however that didn’t deter the determination of these cyclists, with many mothers and daughters completing the route.

All in the event could not have been more successful and a big thanks goes to the Gardaí, Louth Sports Partnership, Blackrock

Sports Hall and all the marshals who helped out on the day.

The third last round of the Bike Station Summer Cycling League saw Liam Dolan win atop the climb of Flagstaff, a win that put him firmly in the driving seat to win the league outright.

Dolan and defending league champion Tomas McCabe had emerged from the combined Group 5/6 on the lower slops of the climb. Dolan attacked and forged on along to ride through the riders in front and take the win by a comfortable margin. On the open racing front Declan Rafferty had another big result, taking 5th in the A4 event in Larne on Saturday.

Minister Murphy officially opens Castleguard Manor

Dundalk teachers praise schools fitness initiative

Students from St Oliver Plunketts National School

Two Dundalk school teachers have spoken in praise of a health and fitness programme currently being delivered to schools by Irish fitness expert Tom Dalton and supported by Fyffes.

Caitriona Dempsey, Principal at St. Oliver Plunkett National School, Blackrock describes a visit to her school earlier this year, when her pupils took part, as ‘a thoroughly enjoyable experience’ with topics such as advice on healthy eating, exercises for young people through engaging and

fun-filled activities and tips on how to use leisure time to stay physically fit.

Echoing her sentiments, Fiona Mullen, a teacher at Kilsaran National School, Castlebellingham said that the Fit Squad proved to be an extremely worthwhile experience for the students and staff who took part.

“It was very easy to register for and organise, while the trainer clearly had a lot of experience working with a large groups of children, who were actively engaged throughout

and thoroughly enjoyed their workout.

“The exercises were easy to follow and simple for us, as teachers, to remember and implement during PE lessons.

The fact that no equipment was necessary is a big bonus for us,” explained Fiona.

Since its inception last year, Fyffes award-winning ‘Fit Squad’ initiative has visited 123 schools and seen over 14,000 children participate in 246 interactive sessions across 25 counties throughout Ireland, North and South.

A state-of-the-art housing scheme that will alleviate the County Council’s waiting list was officially opened in Ardee on Wednesday of last week.

Minister for Housing, Eoghan Murphy TD performed the official opening of The Castleguard Manor Estate in the company of local TD, Fergus O’Dowd and the Ardee Municipal District Cathaoirleach, Cllr Dolores Minogue.

Deputy O’Dowd pointed out that the new estate is a stateof-the-art project that was undertaken by Tuath Housing Association and Louth County Council. It provides over 100 units that have become forever homes for a significant number of applicants on Louth County Council’s housing and emergency accommodation lists.

“This is a milestone

day for many and is representative of what can be achieved by housing association partnerships.

“The estate was built at a rate of 10 units per month which is extraordinary. I would like to

wish all the very best to the new tenants,” he explained.

Cllr Minogue said she was delighted to officiate proceedings in what is a significant chapter in Ardee’s housing landscape.

“To have 102 wonderful new homes within walking distance of our town is a fantastic achievement and is an example of what can be achieved on greenfield sites,” she stated.

Co Louth Student Strives for Success in Hospitality & Events Industry at DKIT

Niall Fretwell from Carlingford Co. Louth is a 3rd year BA Event Management student.

He chose DkIT because he has ambitions to follow his parents’ footsteps and pursue a career in the hospitality sector.

“The best part about my time at DkIT so far has been my work placement experience. I got the chance to go abroad to Switzerland and work in one of the world’s leading event management companies. It was one of the best experiences of my life and I got to meet so many people and really grow myself as a professional.”

Niall believes his Erasmus+ experience will help him as he takes his next steps in his career.

“I have made international industry connections that I will continue to keep in contact with and will help me in my future career path which is invaluable. My time on placement exponentially grew my confidence in myself and help me furthern develop my capabilities.”

Niall said his transition back to college after the time abroad was relatively easy.

“All of our lecturers have eased us back in and been extremely helpful. I think I am able to relate better to what my lecturers are talking about be-

Events Management student, Niall Fretwell discusses why he chose DkIT. cause I have experienced it first hand during placement which is a massive benefit” Niall is a Carlingford native and so DkIT is his nearest and most convenient Higher Education provider.

“I drive every day so it usually takes me about 30 minutes. I studied in Dublin before coming to DkIT. I was there for a year and just didn’t like it. I found it hard to focus on my studies and balance college work and my social life mainly because it wasn’t the environment or the course for me.”

“After taking a year out and reassessing my strengths and interests and speaking with my parents about my options and different possible career paths I discovered the BA Event Management course here in DkIT.”

Niall has a strong family connect to the hospitality sector.

“My parents have over 50 years’ experience in the industry between them, so I would have a good bit of knowledge about the sector. I decided to put it down on my CAO and now I’m in my final year of my level 7 with my eyes set on the BA (Hons) next year.”

DkIT currently has limited availability on some of its degree courses for entry in September 2018.

Fianna Fáil TD Declan Breathnach has said that the closure of Adelphi Court and Muirhevnamor welfare offices comes as ‘no surprise’ following the reply he got from Minister Regina Doherty to a Parliamentary Question on the issue in June.

“The Department of Social Protection sent letters confirming the Community Welfare

Offices operating from Adelphi Court and Muirhevnamor will close in August. Users of these services will now have to use the Intreo Office at St. Alphonsus Road,” he revealed.

“Following rumours, I asked the Minister for Social Protection Regina Doherty if two of these offices would be closing and merged into the Intreo Office at St. Alphonsus Road. The

Minister’s reply was vague, stating a more ‘integrated and efficient’ service was being finalised which would ‘eliminate inconvenience’.

“This response led me to believe the closure of these offices were imminent. With this now being confirmed, we know now many users be will have to travel longer and further to access the same services.”

Veteran Brian Ward was a popular winner of Sunday’s Singles Stableford competition when he used all his experience to master the strong wind that buffeted the course throughout the day.

The 17 handicapper shot 42pts to claim overall victory by one point from JP Connolly (24) who edged out Declan Curtin (9) on countback for second place.

Ward laid the foundation for his victory on the front nine which he covered in an impressive 23pts.

He signed for a score of 42pts that nobody in the 151 strong field managed to equal and gained some measure of compensation for narrowly missing out on the Veteran’s Prize on Captain’s Day two weeks ago.

Curtin had the consolation of taking Category 1 while Fergal

McKenna (17) and Noel McGuinness (20) were the other category winners. Cillian Halpenny (19) was the best juvenile while Zak Alderdice (5) returned the best gross for the third time in a week.

Alderdice will be the club’s only representative in the Irish Boys U16 Open Championship which takes place from Wednesday to Thursday this week in Donabate Golf Club.

Weeds on Rampart River will lead to flooding Local man Anthony O’Hagan has called on the local authority to do something about the weeds that are growing in the Rampart River in the town centre.

According to Anthony he cannot remember the weeds ever being this out of control before and warned that flooding is a major risk if they are not tended to.

“Dundalk has had plenty of problems with flooding down through the years and while I was walking down the ramparts recently I was amazed to see how out of control the weeds were in the river. In all my days in Dundalk I have

Fit Squad Students from Kilsaran National School taking part in the Fyffes Fit Squad

never seen them so out of control,” he stated.

“Whether this is down to cutbacks in the council or what I do not know but I would urge the local authority to do something about them because there will be serious consequences otherwise. We have seen in recent years the problems we have had with flooding around town and we need to be doing everything in our power to help alleviate that problem.

“I know that there is a lot of money being spent over the next couple of years to help prevent flooding but we also have to get the basics right and I can tell you know that the

rampart river will flood unless somebody goes down there and cuts back the weeds,” explained Anthony.

“Blocked drains have been a major cause in flooding over the last number of years and when vegetation is allowed to grow in these channels it can severely reduce the flow of water and will act as a barrier to all other debris that is washed down river which will eventually cause blockages resulting in flooding.

“There is a great responsibility on our local authorities to maintain these drains and ensure there are no blockages in our rivers,” he warned.

In a 59kg bout at the ‘Tough Enough 3 Challenge’, Attoh faced tough Wexford fighter Rita Ryan who was buoyed by a recent win in June and trains out of the highly respected Valhalla Muay Thai gym.

In what proved to be a test of physical and mental resilience the versatile Ryan pressured Atoh

with a constant barrage of kicks and punches forcing Chi to adapt and counter attack. Attoh absorbed what Ryan had to offer and responded with accurate strikes of her own forcing Ryan onto the back foot.

As the fight entered the final stanza Attoh’s hunger for the victory was clearly evident as she dug deep. In the dying seconds Attoh unleashed a flurry of strikes as she chased her opponent across the ring forcing the referee to intervene and give Ryan a standing count thus sealing the victory for Attoh.

Dundalk Leader 21st August 2019

Concern over children’s mental health services Sinn Féin TD for Louth Gerry Adams has said that waiting lists for Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services are unacceptably long.

Deputy Adams was responding to figures revealed to his colleague and Sinn Féin’s spokesperson on men-

tal health, Pat Buckley TD. Gerry Adams said that the response from the HSE indicates that across CHO 8, which covers County Louth, there are currently 358 children waiting for a CAMHS appointment.

“Behind this star-

tling figure are children and families in distress. These children and young people have reached out, they are seeking help to cope with traumas and issues in their lives but the State is not providing the supports they are entitled to.

“Staff are doing their very best to deliver for their patients but the aspiration of ‘A Vision for Change’ is simply not being met,” stated Mr Adams.

“Figures provided to me by the HSE indicate that A Vision for Change recommended six Clinical Psychologists for Co Louth – only two are in place. “ Six psychiatric nurses were recommended – only five are in place.

Three Speech and Lan-

guage Therapists were indicated – only one part time members of staff is in place.

“This Government is paying lip service to Child and Adolescent Mental Health.

We need immediate investment and an end to caps on recruitment and overtime.”

Councillor Ruairí Ó Murchú added that himself and Gerry Adams met with senior CAMHS staff last month to raise concerns regarding pro-

vision for North Louth in particular.

“The fact that there is currently no CAMHS facility in Dundalk is one of my

main concerns.

“I know that staff are making huge efforts to deliver this facility in Dundalk and I intend to keep campaigning

until this service is delivered and the children of North Louth have proper access to the mental health services they need,” he added.

First step on road to restoration of Ardee Castle The process to turn the historic Ardee Castle into an attraction and amenity for people in the town began last week when the enabling works began.

To mark the occasion Minister Eoghan Murphy accompanied Deputy Fergus O’Dowd and Cllr Dorlores Minogue into Ardee town to view the work which is being carried out as part of Louth County Council’s €2.15m Rural Regeneration fund application.

Deputy O’Dowd stated that the enabling works signal the beginning of the regeneration of Ardee Castle which will see it become a state of the art attraction and amenity in the Ardee and Mid Louth Area.

“The purpose of these works are to fully survey all parts of the building and its existing services so that the appointed design team have a full picture to work with for the main refurbishment works.

“The interior of the building will also be cleared of any debris as well as a new temporary metal roof being installed to

the judge’s chambers,” he stated.

Cllr Dolores Minogue said that this has been a long and hard fought campaign from a number of people on this issue and she was delighted that these minor works have commenced.

“There is a lot to be positive about in Ardee, the Government has supported a number of large scale projects such as the Ardee Bypass, the new 102 unit Castleguard Manor Estate and now the Ardee Castle. This will improve the lives of people in the town and surrounding areas.

“The council have advised me that as part of the works a crane will be in place for a day so that the design team can survey the exterior of the building.

It is planned that following this survey by the structural engineer the unsightly fencing will be able to be permanently removed,” she stated.

They also highlighted the amazing artwork created by students in the local Community School that is currently on display at the Old Bakery Building.

Local fundraiser Eric Beggs expresses thanks for local support

By Geraldine Kieran

Local fundraiser Eric Beggs, who led the Cooley Mountain Trek in aid of fighting blindness on Sunday August 4, has thanked all those who supported the event.

The trek saw participants walk from the Lumpers Pub in Ravensdale over the Cooley Mountains for 10km, and Eric was delighted with the excellent turnout.

“The weather was great.

It was a great day, and everything ran smoothly. We

had a great turn out this year with nearly 90 walkers. We really appreciate the support and effort from the people of Dundalk. I want to thank everyone who has donated and came out for the trek.

“The money raised will go to Fighting Blindness

which is an Irish patient-led charity that funds and enables world-leading research into treatments and cures for blindness. “ I just hope that the money raised can be used to help someone else with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), as we feel

a cure will be found soon for the condition,” Eric added.

Eric who was diagnosed in his early twenties with retinal degenerative condition called retinitis pigmentosa, and now in his sixties he is completely blind.

“People who lose their

eyesight, don’t just sit down.

You must get up and get on with it. Many people with visual impairments made the trek last Sunday,“ said Eric.

This event will be Eric’s final year as he will step down to let someone younger take the reins.

Measures to tackle dog fouling Over the past 20 years great strides have been made in tackling the issue of dog fouling in public places and it is estimated by Louth County Council that now only a small percentage of people don’t pick-up after their dog.

Over this same period the issue of litter has been addressed, with awareness raised by the National Tidy Towns Competition, Irish Business Against Litter League and Louth County Council’s local awareness initiatives.

The latest initiative

by Louth County Councils’ Litter Management team - the Colourful Stencil initiative - aims to raise public awareness to tackle irresponsible dog owners that do not clean up after their dog in public places.

According to Catherine Duff, Director of Service this is a simple yet effective initiative said that was introduced in Louth following its successful roll out in other local authorities, throughout Ireland and the UK. “It is a great way to

One of the images on local footpaths

deliver an important message in a friendly and positive way.

This highly visual, high impact signage campaign aims to get the attention of the few remaining dog owners who fail to abide by the rules of responsible dog ownership and to generally raise awareness,” she stated.

“We have targeted areas where dogs are normally walked and where dog fouling has been causing a nuisance. We have in the last few months introduced the stencils in eleven locations

throughout the county including Dunleer, Ardee, Clogherhead, Termonfeckin, Tenure, Tullyallen, Collon and most recently in Blackrock, Greenore, Carlingford and Omeath.

“The Council Litter Wardens regularly engage in five-hour foot patrols in parks and popular dog walking areas.

“They ask walkers if they have a poo bag and, if not, they will offer them one. Litter Wardens also erect signage, spray stencils, distribute leaflets to homes and arrange for

the emptying of dog foul bins,” Catherine continued.

Louth County Council is keen to remind the public that you don’t need a special bin to dispose of pet waste as it can be put in any bin as long as it is bagged properly.

Dog owners or handlers who do not dispose of dog waste in a responsible way could receive an on the spot fine of €150 and failure to pay this fine can lead to prosecution in the District Court with a maximum fine of €3,000.

Cllr Erin McGreehan encourages all to take advantage of the mattress amnesty

Councillor Erin McGreehan wants people to take advantage of the Louth County Council’s Mattress amnesty.

This year Louth County Council secured €145,000 under the Anti-Dumping Initiative. This funding will cover nine projects and one of these projects is this mattress disposal amnesty on Wednesday August 28 only.

The council’s facilities V & W Recycling Centre, Newry Rd.

Dundalk and V & W Recycling Centre, Mell Rd. Drogheda will both will accept mattresses from 12.30pm to 4.30 pm.

However there is a maximum of three mattresses per vehicle and must be clean and dry. The recycling centres entry fee of €4 will also apply.

Councillor McGreehan welcomed this amnesty by stated that everyone knows the scourge of illegal dumping.

“A lot of the time individuals

will dump mattresses in very scenic areas of our countryside.

This is anaffordable option to safely dispose of their unwanted mattresses,” she stated.

Cllr McGreehan, speaking about the mix up of couple of weeks ago when the amnesty was cancelled, added that it was regrettable but came about due to unforeseen circumstances.

Councillors had been assured that this will go ahead on August 28.

North Louth school selected for hot school meals pilot project Scoil Naomh Lorcan in Omeath has been selected for a new hot school meals pilot project beginning in September.

The North Louth school is one of 36 selected across the country to take part in the trial and the move has been welcomed by Fine Gael Councillor for the area, John McGahon.

“My colleague, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Regina Doherty, TD, confirmed that the Scoil Naomh Lorcan in Omeath will be part of a new pilot scheme to allow school children to avail of hot meals.

“It’s really important to note that families will not be asked for additional contributions towards these meals.

“Each primary school participating in the pilot project will be expected to provide a menu choice of at least two different meals per day, plus a vegetarian/vegan choice and an option that caters for students’ religious and cultural dietary requirements,” he explained.

“Nationally we are going to see 36 schools trialling this scheme, benefitting over 6,600 pupils.

“It is great to see North Louth involved in the pilot and I hope to see it rolled out nationally so that all school pupils will benefit.

“The selection of schools for this initial trial was based on ensuring a proper variety of school sizes, a mixture of urban and rural and DEIS and

15

non-DEIS Schools to ensure the best possible sample for the pilot,” he added.

Minister Regina Doherty stated that a hot school meal is not just about nutrition, but it also guarantees a better education.

“The research out there shows us that children who benefit from a daily nutritious hot dinner have greater focus and better learning outcomes.

I would like to thank all the schools who applied for the pilot – we had an enthusiastic response. I am delighted to be extending this pilot to the 36 schools announced today. They represent a good cross sample of schools and I look forward to the insights we gather from their experiences,” she added.

students from the Bush Post Primary were delighted with the grades achieved by this year’s group, according to principal Kevin Joyce.

“It’s wonderful to see their full potential realised and hugely satisfying and rewarding

for everyone who was involved in preparing them for these examinations. The results are the culmination of considerable hard work and sacrifice by these students and their teachers and we are all very proud of their achievements,”

stated Kevin.

The Bush Post Primary school offers all three Leaving Certificate programmes and students were successful in all areas. This year saw a notable increase in students sitting the higherlevel papers across a

wide range of subjects particularly in Mathematics.

The principal congratulated all their students on behalf of the school and wish them the very best for the future.

There was similar sentiment from St. Vincent’s Principal Deirdre Matthews. Who was equally delighted with yet another year of excellent exam results by the girls at St. Vincent’s.

“There was much to celebrate on Leaving Cert results day inM St Vincent’s. We arer delighted that the hardM work of the students and staff which is so well supported by the girls’ families, was so well rewarded this year. We wish all our students success and happiness in the future and look forward to hearing about their different pathways through life.”

These excellent results will allow the students the opportunity to choose their chosen career paths on higher and further education courses.

School Transport chaos affecting Louth families Sinn Féin councillor Ruairí Ó Murchú has said that it is ‘ridiculous and unnecessary’ that substantial numbers of school pupils across Louth have been refused concessionary school transport places just weeks before the beginning of the new school term.

Councillor Ó Murchú

said he was working with a number of families who have been refused school transport for the upcoming term.

“In many cases these pupils have received concessionary bus passes for years and families have built their daily routines around this provision. Thankfully some of these people

have since received bus passes within the last number of days, but not all families are catered for.

“This fiasco occurs every summer and leads to unnecessary stress and annoyance for many families,” he continued.

“I have written to the Minister for Finance to ask him to re-examine

this scheme and the manner in which it is operated by Bus Éireann. Sinn Féin has also called for changes to be made to the scheme “We simply cannot allow a system to prevail which causes this much uncertainty and annoyance to local families,” added Cllr Ó Murchú.
