LOUTH Ladies will head to Croke Park in a bid to claim the All-Ireland Junior Championship title, but in an unusual twist of fate, it is certain that a Louth girl will lift the trophy, regardless of which side comes out on top. That’s because, Sunday’s opponents, Scotland, are captained by former Louth and Roche star, Rosanna Heeney, who is now based in Edinburgh. Rosanna made the move to Edinburgh three years ago shortly after losing the 2012 Junior Football final with Louth and began playing for Dunedin Connolly’s. Rosanna will be vying with Louth captain, Michelle McMahon, for the right to lift

Residents continue to fight quarry By Paul Byrne The Ballymakellett and District Residents Group insist they will continue to fight against the planned re-opening of a stone quarry in Ravensdale which moved a step closer last week when Louth County Council granted planning permission to Buncorp Group Ltd. Limited conditional planning permission was given to Buncorp to reopen the quarry for the production of road making and aggregate materials on September 10. Under the terms of the application, the quarry would reopen for a period of five years. Objections must be lodged within 28 days. See Page 11
Wife went missing for over 12 minutes 2
Dundalk Leader 23rd September 2015
A man who injured a woman when he kicked open a door of a toilet cubicle admitted to Gardai that he would have to consider his drinking habits in light of the incident. Neil McCreesh of 40 Tullynaval Rd, Cullyhanna, Armagh who became concerned when his wife had been missing for over 12 minutes in a pub, injured a woman when he kicked open the door of a toilet cubicle during his search. The defendant was told by Judge Flann Brennan that he was guilty of a horrific as-
sault on the night and that he had “attacked a lady in a place where she should feel completely safe”. Although it was accepted that it was not a personal attack on the injured party, the judge added that it didn’t matter as he was not entitled to do this to anyone. Judge Brennan, imposed the maximum 12 month sentence but suspended it for 12 months. Insp Martin Beggy stated that on December 29, 2013, Mr McCreesh was out with his wife in The Phoenix Bar,
Park St, when they became separated and he went looking for her. He entered the ladies bathroom and kicked open a cubicle door, striking the woman inside, causing a cut to her forehead and lip. He had no connection to the injured party, and it was a totally reckless act. The defendant later made a statement to Gardai during which he accepted he was involved in the incident. He said he was totally disgusted with himself and would have to look at his
drinking if that’s the way it affected him. Solicitor, Conor MacGuill, stated that the 37-year-old father of four had become concerned about his wife and thought she might have fallen asleep inside the cubicle, and didn’t think anyone else might be there. He added that the compensation had been paid to the injured party, who stated in court that she had made a full recovery and wanted closure. She accepted the defendant’s apology. “He made a foolish and
“It was an assault of expensive error of judgement. What happened was an obnoxious nature so random and was driven by a misplaced concern for somebody else”, added Mr MacGuill, who pointed out that his client had never been in court before. In convicting, Judge Brennan pointed out that it was a reckless act. “This was a horrific assault and an assault causing harm. It is accepted that you didn’t intend to cause harm, but for all that it was a complete absence of care, and recklessness that led to this.
and that is putting it mildly”.

HIGH-FLYING Sean O’Mahonys created another piece of history over the weekend when they qualified for the Louth Senior Championship Final for the first time. The Point Road side once again upset the odds when they defeated Dreadnots on Saturday night by 1-12 to 1-8. The O’Mahonys turned in a brilliant first half display and
were leading by 1-8 to 0-2 at half time, before going on to complete the victory. The side will go on to play reigning champions, St Patricks, in the final in Drogheda on Sunday October 4. The Lordship side will start that game as favourites having gone unbeaten in both league and championship for two years. However, the O’Mahonys will
not be short on confidence following their own remarkable run over the last 12 months. The Dundalk men won the Louth Intermediate title last year and went on to win the Leinster Championship . They will also be buoyed by the fact that they were the last team to beat St Patricks in the league with victory at the Point Road in 2013.
The chairperson of SNAP has expressed her delight at the decision of Louth County Council to lease a community building in the Lios Dubh estate on the Armagh Road. The lease will be for a period of three years, subject to an annual review. SNAP which stands for Special Needs Active Parents are a group of parents in Dundalk who initially enquired about establishing swimming lessons for children with Special Needs back in June 2004. Since then the group has blossomed and now offers children a whole host of activities whilst also ensuring
better services, support, activities and information in the pursuit of happy children and supported families. The group had previously been located in Blackthorn Park in the Coe’s Road but have been searching for a cheaper alternative for the last number of years. The news that they have been given the lease for Lios Dubh by way of a peppercorn rent was music to SNAP’s chairperson Angela Kerrigan. “We are delighted with our new premises which we are sharing with the North East Family Support Network. The savings we will make on rent
are huge and all that money can be pumped back into SNAP to improve our services and make a huge difference to our kids lives. Our premises in Lios Dubh are much bigger as well so we have big plans in store including putting a sensory room into the house which will be a huge asset for the kids. “I would like to thank Louth County Council especially Paula Gribbin who worked with us to ensure we got our premises in Lios Dubh. Paula was a great help offering help and advice throughout the whole process”, stated Angela.

stewards in relation to his position in the ground. He was intoxicated, became abusive and used expletives. When Gardai approached he was abusive and was subsequently arrested. The defendant, who was with his 12-year-old daughter, was aggressive at the station and had to be restrained. Solicitor, Frank McDonnell, stated that it was a big game on
the night in questions which his client had been looking forward to. He had been drinking in the afternoon and had more taken than was good for him. There were restrictions on the night in relation to where supporters could stand, but he wanted to go behind the goals where he encountered stewards. Mr McDonnell added that his 35-year-old client had been going to Oriel Park for 20 years.

Garrett to stand in Parachute thrill for Super gran General Election By Paul Byrne
By Eunan Whyte
A Dundalk man who is determined to see an end to corporate austerity politics has announced that he will be standing as a candidate in the next General Election. Garrett Weldon, revealed his intention to put his name forward as an independent candidate, as part of the People Before Profit Alliance. The 44-year-old Dundalk native, who has been working in the community sector for the past 20 years, took the decision to stand as he believes change is needed to secure a better future for the country. “Given my work in the community, I am very aware of the issues facing people and I believe it is time to change things. I have to admit that initially I was reluctant to go forward but I believe that somebody has to do it.
Garrett Weldon
I firmly believe in the ethos of people before profit, rather than profit before people. “There is a moral decision to be made by people in this country as there is a real fear of what might be coming down the road”, explained Garrett who already has a dedicated team of ten, and is hoping for more support along the way. Not surprisingly, some of the items high on Garrett’s agenda will
be the abolition of water rates and the property tax, while he will also be challenging the corporate tax system and current banking system if voted in by the people. “If I am elected, I will look at different ways of raising taxes and I will use all my energy to put people first and in particular look at the state of the health system”, added Garrett. “I know it is going to be a lot of hard work but I am looking forward to the challenge. I will be getting out to the people through public meetings and hitting the door steps, so it will be an old-school approach”, explained the father of two who lives in Louth Village. Garrett has also vowed that, if elected, he will only take the industrial wage from his TD’s salary with the remainder, along with expenses, going back into the community.
Supergran Ann Guest took to the skies last weekend as she took part in a parachute jump from 10,000 feet all in the name of charity. The fearless 74 year old described the experience as one of the best things she has ever done saying that she loved every single minute of it. With money still coming in Ann is expecting to hand over a cheque in excess of €3000 to Cara Cancer Care Centre when everything is counted. The Blackrock native was supposed to do the jump in Edenderry, Co. Offaly at the beginning of September but much to her disappointment it had to be postponed due to the bad weather. However the weather gods were smiling down on her last Saturday morning and with family
“I have to say I had the thrill of a lifetime last weekend. The parachute jump was so much fun and I’d do it again tomorrow if I could. The buzz was just fantastic. I thought I may have got a little nervous as I was about to jump out of the plane but I was grand the whole way through and loved every single minute of it. I was second to jump out of the plane and to be honest it didn’t faze me in the slightest”, stated Ann. “My instructor who I jumped with was fantastic and he was pointing out all the beautiful landmarks we could see for miles around. The scenery up there was truly amazing. “As well as being a huge thrill for myself I was delighted to Ann Guest getting ready for the parachute jump be able to raise some money for the Cara and friends in tow she before getting into a Cancer Care Centre made her way down to in Dundalk. They do great work locally Edenderry once more plane for the jump.
and I know too many people who have had to deal with this terrible disease so they seemed the perfect charity for me to help”, explained Ann. A large number of family and friends made the trip to Edenderry last weekend to support Ann and were on hand to see Ann land perfectly on her feet after her skydive. “I was disappointed not to get going last weekend especially as lots of family and friends made their way to Offaly to support me but most of them were back last weekend and I think they were more nervous than me”, laughed Ann. “I’m so happy I’ve done it now as it’s something that I’ve always wanted to do and it lived up to my expectations”, she added.

Dulargy NS harvest hits the TV screens The young gardeners at Dulargy National School in Ravensdale, had a very exciting morning last week, when Sally and Martin from the Louth Matters TV programme came to school to film the annual veg harvest. Despite the poor summer, the school garden enjoyed a bumper crop of onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, peas, salads and sweetcorn. Third class were filmed digging up their blight resistant ‘Sarpo Mira’ potatoes, while 4th class lifted a great crop of carrots. Liam Parker, a local bee-keeper, whose two grandchildren are in the school, very kindly brought in his demonstration hive to show the children the amazing life of bees, which was fascinating for all to see. Sally carried out some lovely interviews with children from 3rd and 4th class

Eileen McGeown, who runs the school Chickens Project brought in some newly hatched chicks, which the children will be looking after in school over the coming months. The school ducks decided to wander around the yard as the filming was taking place clearing enjoying
all the activity. Danny Gallagher, school principal, explained how the gardening project had come about and developed over the last six years. Co-ordinated by parents Roisin Cotter, Terri McKeown and Eileen McGeown, and funded through the Dulargy Parents Association, the project gives each child
in the school the opportunity to sow seeds and watch their plants grow, until they are ready to be brought home. Each class grows flowers or vegetables and everything is grown organically.

A COMMUNITY group is calling for local people to volunteer for an initiative that could ultimately saves lives. The local First Responders group is expanding into new areas in the county and is holding a number of public meetings to recruit volunteers. The North Louth First Responders will hold a meeting on Wednesday September 23 in Ravensdale Community Centre at 8pm, while the following night the Castlebellingham & Dromiskin group will meet in O’Connells GFC at 8pm. A meeting was also held last night (Tuesday) in Kilcurry Community Centre to recruit volunteers to the West Louth First Responders. Barry Hennessy of the Blackrock & Haggardstown group,
explained that the aim of Cardiac First Responder (CFR) is to have, within the shortest time possible, a volunteer with a defibrillator to attend someone in their area who has contacted the emergency services. Emergencies will include symptoms of choking, chest pains or cardiac arrest. The local CFR is alerted the same time as the ambulance is dispatched. “This is a very valuable service and we are always looking for volunteers”, explained Barry. “It is easy to be a volunteer. All you have to do is carry a phone and have a defibrillator that you can take in your car, on a bike or carry when walking to an incident. “You can decided when you are available and that can be a day shift or night shift. All you need to do is be in the area and available if called upon.
“We had over 250 call-outs last year and many have resulted in positive outcomes”, explained Barry. Training time is approximately four to six hours and is free to volunteers, who must be over 18 and have an insured car while on duty. The plan of the organisation is to have the whole of Louth covered and they are making great progress with groups already established in Omeath, Carlingford, Cooley, along with Blackrock & Haggardstown. Groups in Dundalk and Kilkerley are ready to commence. Anyone interested in finding out more can contact Barry on 08501181420, or Niall Kelly 08603818699 (Dundalk), Valerie Stewart 087 2730000 (North Louth), Bernie Horwell 087 7804508 (Castlebellingham & Dromiskin).

There was great excitement before Ardee Concrt Band’s weekly Tuesday Rehearsal last September 8, when representatives from Ardee Hospice and Homecare Miriam Clarke, Mary Durrigan and Mary Hand received a cheque for €1,000, the proceeds from the recent Ardee Concert Band and Downshire Brass Band joint concert. The cheque was presented on behalf of the band from Brendan Breslin, Musical Director and Niall Doherty, Secretary Ardee Concert Band watched by members of the band.
Families to take in students COUNTY Councillor Tomás Sharkey is calling for families in Dundalk to consider taking college students as boarders in their homes. He pointed out that Dundalk Institute of Technology is going from strength to strength and enrolment is increasing. This brings with it an increased demand
for accommodation for those coming to Dundalk to study. Students are now competing with employees from National Pen, eBay and PayPal when it comes to seeking rented accommodation. The Students Union in Dundalk has referenced single room rents of €100 per week before
utilities. “I believe that there is a solution for students and opportunity for local families in Dundalk. I am asking families who have a spare bedroom to consider taking a student as a lodger. “This will offer an income for the family but also good quality accommodation and
consistency for students. DkIT is attracting many international students. Living with an English speaking family would hugely improve their language skills. “Householders who are interested in going down this route should contact the Student’s Union in DkIT”, added the Sinn Fein councillor.
Famine commemoration in Newry ON Saturday 26 September, Newry will host the annual commemoration of the Irish famine. This is the first time the event to remember the millions of men, women and children who died during ‘The Great Hunger’ of 1845 will be held in the north of Ireland.
To mark the commemoration, Newry, Mourne and Down District Council has organised a series of events culminating in an official ceremony at The Albert Basin, beside Newry Canal on Saturday 26 September. A plaque will be unveiled in Warrenpoint on Sunday 27 Sep-
tember to commemorate those who suffered on the island of Ireland during the Great Famine. The Annual Famine Commemoration will culminate in a wreath-laying ceremony and a minute’s silence in remembrance of those who were lost through death and emigration.

Man fled empty handed after attempted robbery A TEENAGER was advised to return to education as the only way of turning his life around and to avoid getting into trouble. Judge Flann Brennan told Aaron Rochford of 31 Slievefoy Park, Muirhevnamor, Dundalk that he was a bright person who should want more out of life, and that education was the route to follow. The defendant pleaded guilty to a number of offences including theft, criminal damage and burglary between June 23 and July 20 this year. He had been in custody since July. Solicitor, Conor MacGuill, conceded that the Probation Report was disappointing in the
fact that it highlighted a lack of engagement. However, he stated that the offences were committed over a short period of time when his client was abusing drugs. He found it difficult to speak about the events with the Probation Service because he couldn’t remember, although he admits being there. He added that Mr Rochford did plead guilty at an early stage and that he was in court with his mother and grandmother. He added that his family were distressed that he continues to come before the court, but that it was hoped Mr Rochford would embark on a course for Leaving Cert. Judge Flann Brennan pointed
out that the report made depressing reading for the simple reason that he didn’t seem to have any motivation. “Do you not want to break free from this and have a better life?”, he asked before imposing a six month sentence on all matters. “I don’t mean this in a condescending way but you are not stupid. You are bright and you are going to be in prison for four months so start an education as that is the only way out of this”, added the judge. “You have to want more out of life. You are stuck in the middle of nowhere so get back into school and pursue that”, he continued.

A man who admitted having cannabis for his own use was warned that not only was he putting his health at risk, but also associating with an evil empire. Gerry Tasker of 42 Oakland Park, Dundalk, admitted having €20 worth of cannabis which Gardai found during a search of his home. The defendant told Dundalk District Court that he had the drugs for his own use. Judge Flann Brennan gave the 32-year-old defend-
ant a chance as he found the facts proven and dismissed the case, but warned Mr Tasker about the risks involved. “Nearly every single day I encounter people whose lives have been ruined by cannabis. It causes severe problems. “The second thing is that people who supply drugs are only interested in money. Somewhere along the line there are people who kill and maim, and that is the scene you are involved in. It is an evil empire”, stated Judge Brennan.

Residents continue to fight quarry
Dundalk Leader 23rd September 2015
By Paul Byrne
The Ballymakellett and District Residents Group insist they will continue to fight against the planned re-opening of a stone quarry in Ravensdale which moved a step closer last week when Louth County Council granted planning permission to Buncorp Group Ltd. Limited conditional planning permission was given to Buncorp to reopen the quarry for the production of road making and aggregate materials on September 10. Under the terms of the application, the quarry would reopen for a period of five years. Objections must be lodged within 28 days which resulted in a meeting organised by local residents to voice their concerns about the re-opening of the quarry. These concerns include the worries that the quarry will have a detrimental effect in an area which is considered to be one of outstanding natural beauty. There are also concerns that the local road is not sufficient to deal with up to forty truck movements a day as well as concerns for safety for school children who use the road to travel to
nearby schools. According to PJ Finnegan, a member of the committee opposed to the quarry, the meeting was very well attended and a decision was made to lodge an appeal. “The meeting was very well attended and we have decided to lodge a planning appeal which we are currently preparing. We have employed a professional planning consultant to help us and we are taking this very seriously”, explained PJ. “It’s difficult for us to understand how planning permission was granted given that there were almost 100 objections lodged last year when Buncorp first applied for planning permission. And they weren’t just from concerned residents. Inland Fisheries, An Taisce, Dulargy School and The Irish National Seismic Network were amongst those who objected and there were numerous reasons given why this development shouldn’t go ahead. A quarry by its very nature is destructive to the environment”, he insisted. “It’s proposed that the traffic from this quarry will exit the quarry down the R174 through Dawestown, Jenkinstown and out at Rockmarshal. The effects
of this on our area would be detrimental. It’s proposed to have 42 truck movements per day, five and a half days per week 10 hours per day. “The roads along this proposed route are certainly not suitable for this kind of traffic. There have already been numerous accidents along this stretch of road due to the narrowness of part of the road. “There are many families with young children travelling to the nearby schools and we also have the main bus routes for secondary school children who will be standing out along the road on these routes. The area is very popular with cycle groups, hill walkers and the area in general is considered to be one of outstanding natural beauty. The Tain trail looks down on the quarry and surely this popular tourist attraction shouldn’t be spoiled by the noise and dust associated with an active quarry”, stated PJ. PJ said he and his neighbours have been living with the threat of the quarry re-opening for over 30 years and they will continue to fight until the threat no longer exists. A planning appeal is expected to be lodged within the next fortnight.

Guidance counsellors’ cuts A public meeting is taking place at Colaiste Ris on Monday September 28 in relation to the effects the cuts on guidance counsellors are having to second level schools. The main speaker of the evening is Betty McLaughlin, the president of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors. All parents are invited to attend the meeting starts at 7.30. According to Colaiste Rís guidance counsellor Gerry Malone the meeting is being held to raise awareness of the threat to counselling services in schools both locally and nationally in the coming year. “Guidance counselling is the vital service within our schools which helps safeguard young people’s mental health and assists their decision making skills, which enhances their educational and career options. We do much more than just guide
11
students in their career choices”, explained Gerry. “The Guidance Counsellor is the only professionally trained staff member to deal with the serious issues presenting in schools. Guidance Counselling is a frontline service available in schools at present but since the Government’s decision in budget 2012 decision to take away the ex-quota hours for guidance counselling the service is now under serious threat from being totally dismantled in schools. “The ever-increasing complex range of counselling issues dealt with by the Guidance Counsellor in our schools include stress, depression, self-harm, bereavement, eating disorders. These are the issues, highlighted in the research findings, which vulnerable young students receive support and counselling from the Guidance Counsellor regularly in our schools”.
Gerry insists that all cuts since 2012 must be reversed to ensure the wellbeing of students in our schools. He points out that a mere €32m has been saved since 2012 which is not much in the grand scheme of things. “We would urge Minister for Education, Jan O’Sullivan, to reinstate the pre-budget 2012 Guidance Counselling allocation in our schools and colleges of Further education. Since 2012 this Government has been diluting our services by cutting our hours and forcing school principals to get rid of their guidance counselors altogether. The cut was a saving of a mere €32m a year. It also resulted in many subject teachers losing their jobs as schools had to put their guidance counsellors back in the classroom”, added Gerry. The meeting will take place in Colaiste Rís this Monday September 28 at 7:30pm.

Louth girl aims to dash dream of All-Ireland title By Paul Byrne
The Louth Ladies squad that will be hoping for All-Ireland glory on Sunday
By Eunan Whyte
LOUTH Ladies GAA team are heading to Croke Park on Sunday hoping to claim AllIreland glory when they take on Scotland in the Junior Championship Final. The Wee County girls will be hoping to make it third time lucky after losing two finals in recent years, and team captain, Michelle McMahon, believes that the experience of losing those games will spur
them on. “It is heart-breaking to go to an All-Ireland Final and come away without winning, so we are determined to put it right this time. We were favourites going into the game in 2012 so it was really tough to take, so this time we are determined to come home with the cup”, explained Michelle. The Glyde Rangers player accepts that having beaten Scotland already this season, Louth will go into the game as
strong favourites, but she is expecting a very tough challenge. “We know we will be favourites but we learned the last time that this will count for nothing on the day. We met them in the first round in Edinburgh and beat them well but we saw them play in the semi-final and they have a lot of new players since then. Some of those players have played county level here so it is going to be a different proposition. “We are all really

SCOTLAND GAA captain Rosanna Heeney insists there will be no divided loyalties in her household this weekend as she prepares to take on her native Louth in the Ladies All Ireland Junior Football Final in Croke Park. Former Roche and Louth star Rosanna made the move to Edinburgh three years ago shortly after losing the 2012 Junior Football final with Louth and began playing for Dunedin Connolly’s who are the current Scottish League and British Intermediate champions. This is Scotland’s debut season in the Championship and they produced a historic display last time out as they beat Derry to book their place in the Junior All Ireland final where they will face Louth. According to Faughart native Rosanna the victory represented a proud day for the players and their families. “Football over here has improved so much over the last three or four years and reaching the final was a very proud moment for all the girls and a testament to all the hard work we put in over the year”, revealed Rosanna. “It’s an honour and a privilege for me to captain the Scottish team and it’s going to be strange for me to play against my home county in the final. A few of the girls I would have played
with when I was there are still in the team and when I face them on Sunday I’m just going to treat it like a club match”, explained Rosanna. “I’ve played for Louth in a couple of Junior finals before and lost in them so it would be a dream to get over the winning line this time around. We know we’re up against it though as we are only starting out and Louth have a really good team. The majority of girls in the Scottish team are Irish but there are some Scottish girls getting involved at club level so we’ll hopefully see them progress to the Senior set up soon. We’ve been training so hard over the last few months and we are all raring to go now. Sunday can’t come soon enough.” When asked if her family will have divided loyalties on the day Rosanna is quick to point out that for Sunday at least Scotland will be number one in the Heeney household. “My friends and family will definitely be cheering on Scotland on Sunday. It will probably feel a bit weird for them cheering against Louth but it’s for one day only and I suppose it’s a bit of a win-win situation as even if we lose it least it’s Louth that are going home with the trophy. “I have a good crowd from back home coming down to support me so hopefully we can do them proud”, stated Rosanna.
looking forward to it and delighted to get the opportunity. Most of the hard work has been done and at this stage we really just want to get out on the pitch and play the game”, explained Michelle who is enjoying her role as team captain. “Naturally you feel a little bit more responsibility as captain as you have to make sure that everybody is ready, but for me it would be a great honour to accept the cup on behalf of Louth”, she added. Michelle acknowledged that it was an unusual situation in that whoever wins on Sunday, it will be a Louth girl who lifts the cup with former Wee County star, Rosanna Heeney, not captain of Scotland. “Rosanna is a great player and we get on really well, but I’m sure it is a bit more strange for her than for us. It is great to see her going over to Scotland and having such an impact”, added Michelle. The final takes place on Sunday September 27 at 11.45am and will Rosanna with the Derry captain and referee ahead of the semi-final be live on TG4.

Fyffes team returns from Sudan
A contingent representing Dundalk-based banana importers Fyffes and members of the international children’s aid organisation UNICEF has returned from a fact-finding mission to South Sudan to assess the extent of polio in that country and the administration of a vaccination programme being funded by Fyffes. The campaign to immunise as many young children as possible, age five years and under, against the deadly virus, will follow similar lines to last year when, with Fyffes backing, UNICEF administered polio vaccinations to over one million young children in Nigeria with the result that the deadly virus has since been effectively eradicated in that country. Accompanying them on their visit was Irish rugby second-row forward and UNICEF Ireland ambassador, Donncha O’Callaghan who, apart from seeing the work
Fyffes Ireland managing director Gerry Cunningham is pictured on a visit to South Sudan to assess the extent of polio in that country and the administration by UNICEF of a vaccination programme being funded by Fyffes.
being done to combat polio in South Sudan, has joined the campaign to enlist public support for the vaccination programme. Speaking on behalf of Fyffes, their managing director Gerry Cunningham said: “Since forming our partnership with UNICEF
in 2008, we have undertaken a number of major initiatives all with the aim of combating disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Our hope is that this latest project in South Sudan will mirror the outstanding success we had last year in halting the spread of polio in Nigeria”.
The campaign in South Sudan forms part of UNICEF’s goal to eradicate polio worldwide by 2018. It will target young children affected by the ongoing conflict, focusing on those living in remote areas and in known polio hotspots.

Compulsory Purchase Order welcomed
Councillor Tomás Sharkey has welcomed the news that the Compulsory Purchase Order notice for the Colásite Chú Chulainn site is about to be published. “Coláiste Chú Chulainn is Dundalk’s new post pri-
mary school. It is currently located in Chapel Street and includes the All-Irish Coláiste Lú. Its new building will be located on a huge site opposite The Marshes Shopping Centre”, stated Cllr Sharkey. “We have seen a long
delay in the acquisition of the site for this school but movement is imminent. The land will be subject to a CPO which is about to be published. All going well Louth County Council will have full ownership, leaving the way open for
finalising the detailed design, receiving tenders and constructing the school. “Students, teachers and families have been very patiently waiting for this building. Teaching and learning are second to none in the area”, continued the
Sinn Fein representative. It has been confirmed that as this CPO document does not refer to a public road the consultation period will be only three weeks. Submissions go directly to An Bord Pleanála.

SNAP fundraiser helps continue good work By Paul Byrne
Organisers of the SNAP car boot sale in McEvoy’s car park have thanked everybody who came out and supported their day which raised over €3200. SNAP (Special Needs Active Parents) was initially set up after a group of parents enquired about establishing swimming lessons for children with Special Needs back in June 04. These parents got to know each other at different early intervention sessions (ie. Physiotherapy, Feeding Clinics etc.) which they attended at Early Intervention Services, HSE Mounthamilton House in Dundalk. It was felt at the time that the success of the swimming programmes needed to be built upon and the group started meeting more regularly, exploring new ideas and potential fundraising events to finance these ideas. It was also crucially important for the group that rela-
tionships were built between the various service providers and SNAP to help create collaborative strategies for improving services and opportunities for our children. Last month’s fundraiser provided some much needed funds for the organisation and according to Finola Dowd, a member of SNAP, the money will used to support a wide variety of events for their children over the next twelve months. “We really were overwhelmed with the response to our car boot sale and we would like to thank all the sponsors and everybody who turned up and supported us on the day”, stated Finola. “We have about 30 kids from all over the county with us in SNAP and the money raised will go towards a whole range of activities and events which are organised by SNAP. We have a wide range of activities such as music therapy, arts and crafts, fit kids, reflexology, homeopathic ses-
sions, outings to places like Tayto Park, pantos, Easter Egg Hunt’s etc. We also have yoga for kids and sibling groups where a qualified person talks to siblings of those with special needs and talk to them about their brother or sister’s disability. “We are always open for people to join us and come down to see us at our new premises in Lios Dubh on the Armagh Road. We have a free family swim on Sunday morning at Aura Dundalk and Drumcar as well as horseriding. “Our mission at SNAP is to ensure happy children and families with Special Needs through our dedicated and committed work so once again thanks again to everyone who continues to support us to make this possible”, stated Finola. If anybody would like information about SNAP contact Finola at 0868501150 or go to their website at www. snapireland.net.

Property tax reduced by 1.5% LOUTH County Councillors have voted to reduce the Local Property Tax by 1.5% next year. This will mean households will pay the same property tax bill in 2016 as they did this year when a similar cut from the standard rate was voted in by councillors. Sinn Féin had proposed a 15% reduction with Cllr Imelda Munster stating that when the Government introduced the tax they said it was to improve local services yet local services have been cut to the bone. However, before the vote took place councillors were warned by
Chief Executive Joan Martin that the local authority doesn’t have the financial capability to allow a cut of 15% to be made as this would equate to €1.3m. She also claimed that budgets need to be rebuilt and such a cut would only cause further damage. Just like last year when Sinn Féin also put forward a motion to reduce the LPT by 15% the proposal was rejected after a lengthy debate on Monday afternoon. Fine Gael put forward a motion to leave the property payment as it was. Eventually a 1.5% cut was agreed upon and
John McGahon accused Sinn Fein
passed. Sinn Féin representatives said they were disappointed with the outcome while Fine Gael’s Cllr John McGahon stated that the party
was being irresponsible, accusing them of trying to send the council over a “financial cliff”. The new 1.5% cut will take effect for 2016’s Property Tax levy.

Declan O’Rourke returns to Spirit Store There was good news for local music fans last week when it was announced that Declan O’Rourke will be returning to the Spirit Store on Friday October 30. Declan will be performing songs from his new album “Gold Bars In The Sun” which will be released on October 15. Tickets for the show are €20. Declan’s star has ascended even more since he was last in town and the superbly disarming performer and wonderful songwriter. According to Paul Weller of Mojo Magazine : “He writes the sort of classic songs that people don’t write anymore, songs that sound like
they’ve been around forever. Listen to Galileo, which is possibly the greatest song written in the last 30 years”. Meanwhile, Friday September 25 will see Just Mustard and Guests on stage, with admission €5. Just Mustard are a band based in Dundalk, combining elements of alternative rock, dream pop, noise, shoegaze and trip hop. Their debut gig last month was a stunner. First single Lemon Smiles came out on August 28, with 3 part LP coming soon. The following evening sees Angry Chair + Still Alive, with tickets €10. With a string of gigs under the belt of
each member, Angry Chair came together from a mutual love of the music of Alice in Chains, an unrivalled passion to perform, and a desire to deliver a sound worthy of the memory of the late Layne Staley. Negative Creeps pay homage to Nirvana, One of the most influential bands of the past 30 years. Also it has recently been announced that on Thursday October 1, Peter Doran will perform downstairs for free at 9pm. The Mullingar Singer-Songwriter will perform songs from his new album “Outlines”. Friday October 2 will see Forever (Oasis Tribute) + Andiamo along with
Scooter Club DJ Set. Tickets €13.50. October 2 marks the 20th Anniversary of the release of (What’s The Story) Morning Glory to mark this momentous occasion and to relive the hey days of the 90s. Moxie will perform on Sunday October 4 with tickets €10. Her music has a solid traditional backbone. Jazz, rock, bluegrass and world music rhythms and harmonies are creatively structured around this base treating the listener to layers of rich and intricate sounds as the band deliver a punchy programme of both their own compositions and old tunes with a new emerald vibe.

Didn’t pay for jacket
A WOMAN who took a jacket from a shop without paying had the case against her dismissed under the Probation Act. Pamela Dunne of 37 Cherrywood Drive, Termon Abbey, Drogheda, admitted a theft charge when she appeared at Dundalk District Court. The court heard that on August 18 this year, the defendant entered Penneys, The Marshes, where she purchased items worth €111. She also put a jacket in the back of a pram but didn’t pay for it. Security staff followed her and she was arrested and taken to Dundalk Garda Station. The defendant had previously been given an adult caution for theft. Judge Mary Devins ordered that Ms Dunne, a mother of two young children, pay €25 compensation to the shop as she dismissed the case under the Probation Act.

Louth County Councillor Tomás Sharkey is calling for an up to date model for the funding of schools in Louth. “Last week the Louth Meath Education and Training Board had to make contingency plans to raise an overdraft to pay staff wages and other costs. The provision is for a €3m overdraft
but hopefully it will not be required. This is the second year running that such a decision was required. “The problem is down to an archaic system of funding for our schools. The population of Louth is growing, while our schools are expanding and numbers are increasing. LMETB has 560 more
students now than 12 months ago. But the Department of Education’s funding model does not allow for the funding to arrive with the student in September. “It is hard for the LMETB and all other schools, primary and post primary, to make plans for the purchase of teaching materials, mainte-
nance of buildings and planning extra curricular activities while this archaic model exists. “Education and schools are crucial for the development of a strong community and economy. I want a new model that ensures there is certainty and consistency in its provision”, he stated.
