Hundreds of Dundalk students congregated in front of the court-house in Dundalk calling on the Government to take action on climate change.

This is the latest in a series of protests organised by students all over the country as they try and put pressure on the government to do more to save our planet.

Students from schools all over town as well as members of the general public joined forces on Friday afternoon to chant slogans and hold up banners to try and get their message across. De

La Salle student Peter McGuinness was one of the organisers of the event and he explained exactly why he and his fellow students felt the need to protest.

“We are striking as part of a global movement inspired

by Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg. Our protest involved many students from around the Dundalk area who left school at 12:30pm to fight for our future.

We were pleased to see many members of the public attend our protest as well as local representatives who came out to support us.

In their latest bid to save the school, Colásite Lú parents, in conjunction with Conradh na Gaeilge, organised a public rally in Dundalk on Saturday in celebration of the Irish language – Gaeilge Abú – which was attended by several hundred people.

The Parents Association claim that the school has reneged on commitments and guarantees given to them as recently as June in relation to teaching their children through the Irish language. As a result they state that they no longer have confidence that he is willing or able to provide and manage Irish medium education to a standard their children deserve.

Colaiste Lú is an aonad (unit) in Dundalk which was set up to pro-

It is the only Irish medium school in Louth and a key part of the Irish language infrastructure in the North East.

According to a statement released by the Parent’s Association in the aftermath of a meeting held with the LMETB last Wednesday no progress has been made

between the two sides.

“Coláiste Lú parents eventually had a meeting on Wed September 18 with the LMETB and school management about their concerns.

“No explanations were offered as to why so many teachers resigned or why the ethos and operational management of Coláiste Lú was so radically changed at the beginning of the school year without consultation

or notification.

“Now into the fifth week of the new school term, parents are awaiting LMETB to contact them as agreed to confirm dates to meet again to discuss outstanding issues of concern.

The fact that the Principal did not send anyone to represent or promote Coláiste Lú when all the other schools did, does not represent a bias by Gael Scoil Dún Dealgan against the school. Parents of 6th Class pupils may have interpreted this as a bias in error.”

Dundalk clinch 14th league title Dundalk players celebrate in Oriel Park after the club was crowned champions for the 14th time

Vinny Perth’s side beat Shamrock Rovers 3-2 Dundalk support- to secure the Premier ers were singing in Division title for the the rain last night as 14th time in the club’s history.

There can be no doubting the pedigree of this side given that last night’s league triumph was the fifth in six seasons beginning in 2014 when Stephen Kenny led the Carrick Road side to glory in just his second year in the job. S ince then there have been some amazing evenings for supporters and last night’s match against title rivals Shamrock Rovers was up there with the best of them.

A total of 3,634 fans made their way to Oriel with the vast majority in attendance hoping to see the Lilywhites beat Rovers to secure the title with four games to spare. The home side started well and deservedly took the lead after

28 minutes when Sean Hoare towered above the Rovers defence to send a bullet header into the net from a Michael Duffy corner.

That goal cranked the atmosphere around Oriel up a notch and just before half-time the roof was almost lifted off the stand as Robbie Benson nipped in behind the Rovers defence to head home.

Rovers got back into the match ten minutes after the restart through Aaron Greene. Tension and nerves began to permeate around the ground but that was quickly lifted thanks to a goal of the season contender from man of the match Michael Duffy.

McEleney received a pass from Dane Massey before laying the ball into fellow Derryman Michael Duffy who ran towards the Rovers goal before unleashing an ab-

solute thunderbolt which flew into the top corner.

That it seemed was that but Rovers had not read the script and they made things nervous for Dundalk once more as Aaron McEneff capitalised on a Daniel Cleary error to make it 3-2. Dundalk, however held on thanks to some gutsy defending and good goalkeeping from Rogers and with the rain now pouring down the final whistle sparked wild celebrations as supporters ignored the pleas of stadium announcer Michael Duffy to stay off the pitch.

Five titles in six years and a club record of 23 league matches unbeaten now for Perth’s side but the season is not finished just yet for this magnificent team who face Sligo this weekend in the FAI Cup semi-finals as they look to get a step closer to a domestic treble.

Council publish schedule of works for M1 closure Dundalk Councilor John McGahon has said that the Council’s decision to publish the schedule of works for the M1 Motorway Closure will help Louth commuters in planning their journeys in advance.

Speaking on the publication of the works, Cllr.

McGahon said “Since we were made aware of the Closure at the beginning of August, I have been asking the Council to publish the

schedule of works so commuters can plan their journey in advance. I raised this issue again at our monthly September meeting and I’m pleased to report that the Council followed up on my request and published the information on their website the following morning.

Notifications will be published on AA Roadwatch, LMFM Radio and on the Councils website in a bid to keep commuters as informed

as possible and minimize any disruption to their travel times.

The works were originally meant to last ten weeks, but this has been scaled back to seven and again this will hopefully minimize any disruption.

The Closures & Diversion route will be as follows: 1.—Junction 16 – local traffic restrictions at the junction plus slip road closures.

3.—Northbound within sections of the M1 between Junction 10 to Junction 18 – 4 nights within the period 30th September 2019 – 16th November 2019.

- Diversion using the following national, regional and local roads; R132 (old N1), R169, LP 2226-27, Cllr John McGahon.

4.—Southbound within sections of the M1 between Junction 18 to Junction 10 and to county boundary, Dublin Road, Drogheda – 6 nights within the period 30th September 2019 – 16th November 2019.

- Diversion using the following national, regional and local roads; R132 (old N1), R169, LP 2226-27, N33, R166 and R215 (old N52).

The diversion will be in

place between the night time hours of 19.30-06.30.

The total duration of the roadworks is expected to over a period of seven weeks, during which time sections of the motorway mainline, interchange slip roads, roundabouts and side roads may be closed.

It is the intention of CRG (Dundalk) to minimise the number of and duration of road closures within the above period.

in Brief Castletown Belles

Castletown Belles Football Club are delighted to announce that the famous local setting of “The Bainseach” in Fatima Drive will be their new football home from 2020.

The playing fields hold a very strong sporting connection hosting clubs such as Nh Moninne, Castletown Celtic FC and various Summer League matches over a span of many years.

Tho week, the club was granted permission for a small boundary fence for children’s safety and for spectator viewing.

The fence will not impact people’s view of scenery and will still allow access for walkers.

The club would like to thank everyone that has helped make it possible and the Belles cannot wait to get started training and playing hopefully by next summer.

European glory for North East Runners

By Paul Byrne The European Masters Athletics Championships in Venice, Italy proved to be a happy hunting crowd for local athletes with a total of nine medals brought home last week. Brian Lynch, Maurice McMahon, Declan Toal and Michael Jordan all had success on the track and in the field to make it a memorable weekend for the North East Runners Club in town.

65-year old Brian Lynch led the way with no less than four medals including gold in the Male 65 Cross Country 4KM and the 5000 metres on the track. Brian is no stranger to winning medals on the international stage having also won double gold in Daegu, South Korea two years ago. Brian also won silver in both the 1500m Male 65 event as well as the team cross country.

“I really enjoyed it in Venice and it was nice to get the win in a couple of the races. The

Declan Toal, Brian Lynch, Maurice McMahon and Michael Jordan who won medals in Italy

conditions were pretty much perfect over there for my races which was lucky as it got very hot later in the weekend.

“For me now I will go back to training pretty much straight away and try and get ready for next year’s European Indoors in Portugal as well as the World’s in Toronto,” stated Brian.

Meanwhile Felda Gym Instructor Maurice McMahon was also celebrating having won a gold, silver and bronze

in the 45-49 male category. Maurice stormed to gold in the 4k cross country thanks to a strong finish and then went agonisingly close to making it a double in the 5K where he was pipped by 0.01 seconds by his Spanish rival.

McMahon completed a hugely successful championships with a bronze in the team cross country event. According to Maurice he was delighted that all his hard work ahead of the champion-

ships paid off.

“I arrived here in good shape. The race I won gold in was tough as it was a challenging course but I managed to get behind the Spanish runner and stay with him for a couple of laps before pulling away at the end. It was a bit tough to miss out on a second gold in the 5K given it was such a tight finish but overall I’m delighted with how it all went and I’m looking forward to compet-

ing in the Home Nations Masters in Southport in November,” stated Maurice.

Maurice’s North East Runner teammate Michael Jordan, who was one of the founders of the group, also returned home with a medal having helped Team Ireland win a silver medal in the cross country 4K 65 Male section following his 11th place finish. The 65-year-old also praised the strong performance

from the North East Runners team.

Declan Toal’s return to athletics has proved to be a good decision with the North East Runner looking stronger each time he takes to the track. Declan was a highly promising athlete in his younger years and represented his country on numerous occasions before drifting away from the sport. However, he now says he is back in love with running and delighted to return with a bronze.

“Yeah, it’s great to be back running and it was nice to pick up a bronze in the team 4K cross country event with my teammate Maurice McMahon and Phillip O’Doherty. I’m 48 now and I feel I’m getting back into decent running form so I’m really looking to keep competing over the next couple of years and improving.

I’m probably going to compete in the International Cross Country Championships in Southport,” revealed Declan.

Dundalk volunteers at World Clean-Up Day

World Clean-Up Day in Dundalk Dundalk Tidy Towns would like to thank everyone who participated in the big clean up on Friday and Saturday. This was the first time Dundalk has participated in the World Clean Up Day and it truly exceeded expectations. Over 50 people took part in areas across Dundalk, resulting in over 60 bags of litter being collected.

The organisers would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time to selflessly keep their

town and environment clean. The Tidy Towns committee would also like to thank McKeowns who provided much needed refreshments for the volunteers after the clean up on Friday.

Regular litter picks will continue until the end of October and we have already started planning the next big clean up to coincide with the National Spring Clean in April. Full details can be found on the Dundalk Tidy Towns Facebook Page.

Greenway route nears completion

Dundalk Leader 25th September 2019

A report prepared for the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council has confirmed the route for the final 3km stretch of the Carlingford Lough Greenway.

The Carlingford Lough Greenway project will provide the first cross-border Greenway from Newry City to Carlingford.

This scenic crossborder Greenway will encourage more peo-

ple to walk and cycle and to thus undertake cross-border journeys.

Last year, the stretch from Newry to Victoria Lock at the end of the city’s historic canal was opened.

The section from Omeath to Carlingford is already operating.

Originally it had been planned to link Victoria Lock to the border along the shoreline but that is no longer viable following a

report which revealed a number of ecological and environmental designation obstacles.

An alternative route has now been chosen for the final three kilometre stretch which includes the border crossing and it will now go through Fathom Forest.

A planning application is expected to be lodged before the end of the year with work to begin on the final

3km stretch of the Greenway in 2020.

When the route is completed it will mean that people can then walk, run or cycle almost 52km cross bor- “FLC Frank Lynch & Co, are delighted to announce their sponsorship of local Dundalk athlete, Kate der from Portadown O’Connor, as she embarks on the next stage of her exciting career at the University of Sheffield. to Carlingford.

The PortadownNewry Greenway was already in existence and from next year it will link with what will be a fully completed Carlingford Lough Greenway.

Louth Property Tax to remain unchanged The Local Property Tax rate in Louth will remain unchanged for at least another year after councillors voted to leave it alone for the fourth year in a row. The vote came despite recommendations from Louth County Council Chief Executive to increase it by 15%.

That increase would have resulted in an additional income of around €1.44m for the local authority but similarly to last year councillors ignored the Chief Executive’s recommendations as they voted to keep the sta-

tus quo. During June’s monthly council meeting Joan Martin warned councillors that the local authority were in urgent need of extra funding and asked councillors to consider increasing the LPT by 15%. She explained that the council had received over 1500 maintenance requests from houses around the county which she was unable to carry out due to insufficient funds.

“She stated that any extra income brought in from an increase in the Local Property Tax would be specifically earmarked for

housing maintenance. Last year a total of €9 million was collected in Local Property Tax in Louth from just over 50,000 contributions. This worked out at just over €178 per household.

The base rate for the LPT has not increased since 2014 and this latest decision means that the rate will remain at the national standard. Councillors have the power to increase or decrease the rate by up to 15% either way.

The proposal to leave the rate unchanged was adopted by 27 votes to 7.

Solar-power bins plan for beaches

Dundalk Leader 25th September 2019

10

Sinn Féin Councillor Antóin Watters has welcomed the passing of his council motion seeking the installation of solar powered bins at Templetown Beach.

The motion was passed at Dundalk’s Municipal meeting this month and received unanimous support.

Speaking after the meeting, Cllr Watters said “We are doing great work with the Marine Litter Project in Cooley and the people of the area are committed to keeping our beaches clean. One thing that I think we would all agree on is the amount of rubbish left behind by visitors on our beaches.”

“The bins that are there are insufficient. They are always full to overflowing and people tend to leave their rubbish in and around the bin in an attempt to be seen to be disposing of it appropriately. By the time the bins are emptied, birds and the elements

have added to the problem and the rubbish is strewn all over.”

Cllr Watters feels these Solar Bins would address that.

“The way it works is that the bins have a solar panel on the top which operates a compactor in the bin. As the rubbish is being compacted the bin can then hold up to 10 times the amount of rubbish and the need to empty the bin is reduced.”

“This is a positive step in helping to keep our

beaches clean and the best part is, it won’t cost the Council a cent as they are funded through the Blue Flag funding.”

“To expand on that, I would be seeking these bins to be placed at Schelling Hill and Gyles Quay also but because they are not covered under the Blue Flag funding, these two locations would need to be funded by the Council but I believe they will save money in the long run and you can’t put a price on the environ-

mental advantages,” he concluded.

The bins have cloud based software that provides information to the Council/Local Authority when it is full and requires emptying, while they are climate friendly as well as being more cost effective.

They are designed to keep seagulls and rodents out and they it is expected that they will lead to cleaner beaches, less overflowing bins and cleaner surrounding areas.

Solarpowered bins are planned for local beaches

Members of the G&T Golf Society on their annual outing to the Slieve Russell Hotel

Efforts to prevent repeat of graveyard horror Dundalk Municipal District has backed a motion to form a Graveyard Sub-Committee in a bid to prevent a repeat of the horrific scenes witnessed at the Dowdallshill Blessing of the Graves Ceremony two months ago.

James McDonagh, with an address of Glenmore Park, Muirhevnamor, Dundalk, Co Louth, was charged with dangerous driving and the unlawful use of a vehicle without consent of its owner at the graveyard on July 21 where it is alleged he seriously injured an elderly man while speeding through the crowd at the annual event.

Fianna Fáil councillor Conor

Keelan who put forward the motion said that the setting up of the committee was vital in ensuring that the scenes witnessed last July will not be repeated in future years.

“I actually put forward this motion earlier on this year in response to the problems in 2018 in relation to the P.A system. The motion was rejected back then but I’m very happy that it was backed by all councillors this time around. The scenes we saw in Dowdallshill in July can not be allowed to happen again and it is up to us in the committee to work with members of the clergy, undertakers and the Gardaí to

ensure that the Blessings of the Graves runs smoothly in the future. We have to work together to regain people’s trust.

“There are people who left Dowdallshill back in July in complete shock and maybe nervous to come back again next year and it is up to us to put measures in place to ensure the smooth running of the event.

“There will be Gardaí present next year and we hope to have the committee up and running by next month where I and some of my elected colleagues will work together to make sure the public feel safe during next year’s event.

Championship Success

St Patrick’s were crowned Intermediate Champions

Nh Moninne celebrate their Senior Hurling Championship win

Geraldines won the Senior Championship for the first time

Three local clubs are celebrating championship success after claiming victory in the county finals over the weekend.

Nh Moninne are Louth Senior Hurling Champions once again after they defeated St Fechins by 1-13 to 0-14 at Dunleer on Sunday afternoon.

A goal from Odhran Loughran after six minutes helped the Dundalk side to go in level at 1-6 to 0-9 at half time.

Inspired by the efforts of Darren O’Hanrahan and the scoring power of Darren Geoghegan and Graham Harrington, Moninne finished strongly to

claim the title and see captain Paul Challoner lift the cup.

Meanwhile, there was a first ever Ladies Senior Championship success for Geraldines after they defeated Cooley Kickhams by 1-16 to 3-6 at Dowdallshill.

A goal from Ciara O’Connor helped the Gers lead by 1-8 to 3-1 at the break with Niamh Rice, Eibhlin Rice and Megan Ferguson hitting the net for Cooley.

The Gers were on top for much of the second half and ten points from Rebecca Carr helped them take the title, with Helen Ryan accepting the trophy on behalf of the

team.

There was also joy for St Patricks who won the Ladies Intermediate Football title after a 3-11 to 1-9 win over Nh Fionnbarra at Dowdallshill.

Goals from Nicola Connor and Kate Flood helped the Pats lead by 2-6 to 0-4 at half time.

The Barrs hit back with a goal from Ciara McMahon but Meg Woods struck at the other end to see the Pats back in control.

Some strong defending helped see the game out for the Lordship girls before captain and Player of the Match, Aine Breen, lifted the trophy.

Ninety TY students from Ardee Community School made a trip to Achill Island on the weekend of Sunday September 15. This trip was organised to allow the students to get to know each other as a year group. They got involved in many outdoor activities such as orienteering, coasteering, cliff-jumping and surfing. The trip was led by Paula Conlon, the TY coordinator, accompanied by three other teachers, Pamela Murphy, Philip Brennan and Paul Clarke. It was a really successful adventure for all involved.

Pat claims Minor Scratch Cup victory Dundalk Golf Club’s Senior Panel missed out on a national title when they were beaten in the Barton Shield AllIreland semi-final last Friday in Westport by Co Sligo Golf Club.

While it is disappointing that their latest effort to win what would only have been the club’s second national title in 114 years came up short, great credit much go the players, caddies and management for another great year during which they retained their Leinster title.

Dundalk was represented by Aaron Grant, Josh Mackin, Caolan Rafferty and Eoin Murphy, while Alan McCabe and John Conlon managed the team.

The burden of high office is not proving to be much of a distraction to our 2019 Captain Pat Davis who earlier this year won the Minor Scratch Cup. On Sunday, he was in sparkling form again as he shot a four under par 68, off a handicap of 18, in difficult conditions from the back tees.

It was enough to win Sunday’s Singles Stroke competition which replaced the final Golfer of the Year competition, the Cochrane Cup, after it was deferred to another date because of the inclement weather on Sunday.

On a day when a Competition Standard Scratch of 75 clearly reflected the challenge the field faced, Davis man-

Filled with amazing stage spectacle and unforgettable songs, including the Academy Award-nominated title song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is a high-flying, funfilled adventure for the entire family. Featuring a children's chorus of twenty children, an adult chorus of forty, and a live orchestra of twelve talented local musicians all working in the spirit of teamwork. A huge amount of work has been done by the stage crew under the leadership of Stage Manager Niall McCooey to bring a flying car to the stage and also costume mistress Phyllis Woods who has been charged with dressing a cast of almost 70!

Barton Cup bid ends in disappointment Dundalk Golf Club’s latest bid to win its first national senior title ended in disappointment last Friday morning when they were beaten by Co Sligo Golf Club in the semi-finals of the AIG Barton Shield in Westport.

Having lost in last year’s AllIreland Final to Athenry, Dundalk travelled to the Co Mayo venue hoping to go one better after winning back to back Leinster titles in July when they beat The Island in the provincial decider at Royal Tara.

Dundalk managers Alan McCabe and John Conlon went with the same pairings that had delivered both provincial titles with Aaron Grant and Josh Mackin up against Ruairi O’Connor and Thomas Finnegan in the top match while Caolan Rafferty and Eoin Murphy faced brothers TJ and Daniel Ford in the other.

Right from the beginning it was obvious that Dundalk were in trouble as they found themselves behind to the Rosses Point outfit in both matches and never managed to get their noses in front in either of them after that.

After six holes Dundalk were three down in the top match and one down in the bottom match and by the turn Grant and Mackin were four down while Rafferty and Murphy were still one behind.

That meant Dundalk were five holes behind with 18 to play and while Rafferty and Murphy managed to get it back to all square by the 12th, up ahead of them it was looking ominous as Grant and Mackin were five down with six to play in their match.

It was all over a few holes later as Dundalk ran out of holes with

Grant and Mackin seven down with two play while Rafferty and Murphy were all square with three to play.

“It was disappointing not to perform the way we know we can but these things happen in sport and all we can do is pick ourselves up and get ready to have another shot at it next year,” said joint manager John Conlon.

“We still managed to retain our Leinster title this year, which is a fair achievement, but the lads really wanted to bring home a green one and they are gutted they didn’t do that especially for the large group of supporters who travelled to Mayo for the All-Ireland Finals.”

In the final on Friday afternoon it was Co Sligo’s turn to be on the end of a seven-hole defeat as they lost to Limerick.

stage looked a likely winner with a 40km solo break, however in the final few kilometres he was hauled back with the line almost insight.

On the off road scene, Meave Baxter won the overall title in Female Category at the Vitus Fast Tracks Enduro Series. Held over four rounds, Meave finally clinched the title in the final round in Castlewellan, where she also had another win.

Also on the off road scene, September saw

the start of the Cyclo Cross Season, which has proved a happy hunting ground for the club’s underage riders.

Most recently the racing was held in Lady Dixon Park in Belfast.

In the under 12 girl’s race Ffionn Dolan was second with Grace O’Rourke close behind in seventh.

The under 12 boys had Shane Meegan in 10th and clubmate Ryan Doogan in 13th.

Under 14 girls, Rhiannon Dolan was fourth

with Aron Doogan ninth in the boys. Sean Daly had a top 25 in the senior A race, while PJ Hynes battled through a number of mechanicals to take 13th in the B race.

The leisure season came to a close at the recent Tony Golden Memorial Cycle, an excellent event which covered 115km of the country. The club had close on 30 riders taking part in the cycle, which was run off in glorious sunshine.

Insurance costs remain pressing concern for most in 2019 A majority of motorists are more worried about meeting their insurance payments in 2019 than they were last year, according to recent research undertaken by AA Ireland.

A survey of over 6,000 motorists by AA Ireland found that almost half of those surveyed (48.38%) ‘strongly agreed’ that they were more concerned about the cost of car insurance now than they were last year. Meanwhile, over 1 in 5 of those surveyed (22.17%) stated that they ‘somewhat agreed’ that their level of concern had risen.

“While the issue of insurance costs, including both car and business insurance, continues to generate a lot of headlines, it does appear to have fallen further and further down the government’s list of priorities.

Brexit is deservedly

taking centre stage currently, but we need to see continued government resolve to completing many of the actions from the Cost of Insurance Working Group’s report which are still outstanding,” Conor Faughnan, AA Director of Consumer Affairs stated. “We’ve seen some good progress made in terms of expanding the use of ANPR and providing Gardaí with increased manpower, but there is still a great deal more than needs to be done.”

“In particular, personal injury claims

for less severe injuries, such as whiplash, remain out of line with many of the other countries in Western Europe. Until we have greater clarity surrounding court awards and improve the ability of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board to resolve such claims, we won’t be able to say that the insurance battle has been won.”

Despite the increased concern surrounding motor insurance costs, the AA Ireland survey found that over a quarter of motorists could be missing out on the chance to save by not

shopping around at renewal time.

Of those surveyed by the AA, 11.19% ‘strongly agreed’ that they had shopped around less this year when renewing their car insurance than they had in previous years. Meanwhile, a further 15.23% ‘somewhat agreed’ that this had been the case.

“Throughout 2015 and 2016, with many motorists seeing significant increases in their cover costs at the time of renewal, we all became very adept at doing additional research to ensure we received the best price for our cover,” Faughnan added. It does look, however, that as the yearon-year increases have eased or turned to decreases in some cases, some of us are starting to forget about the importance of shopping around and leaving potential savings behind us as a result.”
