A “brutal and futile” decision by the HSE to cut a training allowance for young people with disabilities, starting a course in Dundalk this week shows that “decency and humanity has been stripped from the system”, according to TD Imelda Munster. The Sinn Féin representative slammed the HSE’s announcement cutting the Rehabilitative Training Allowance for attendees of the National Learning Network’s courses across the State, including at facilities at the Ramparts, Carroll Village

and Wilton House. Participants on the course, which teaches living and social skills to school leavers with disabilities, were due to be given an additional €31.80 per week. However, a decision by the HSE to cut the funding to new participants, including those in Dundalk, was made earlier this month in order to “reinvest in day services for people with disabilities”, according to the health service. It means that those Continued on Page 2

Disability cuts are ‘brutal and futile’ From Page 1 already on the course, like Naoise Johnston, will continue to get the allowance, but those due to start, like Eileen Meenan’s son, Kevin, will not. Naoise said she was “disappointed and angry” that her friends will have to do without the money she receives, even though they are on the same course. “I know those who are going to start this week and they will not be getting the same money as me. That’s extremely unfair and I don’t understand why the decision was made. “You need to have the extra money for the course, because we use it for social outings, lunches etc. Last week, we went to the plan-

Naoise and Imelda etarium in Armagh and I used the money for that trip and the others we have done throughout the year,” stated Naoise. Eileen said her older son, James, had received the training allowance for the course, but her 18-year-old son Kevin, who is due to

start this week, will not. She said she is appalled that the Government had “targeted the most vulnerable again” and pointed out that this is the second decision in as many months that the HSE has tried to cut the help it gives to those with disabilities in the Northeast, citing the

now deferred decision to close Sruthán House. “People with disabilities get little enough help as it is, without cutting this small, but vital allowance. When Kevin knew he was getting on the course, he said he would use some of the money to pay for a new phone. He was looking forward to using the money for the social events and trips that are part of teaching people how to look after their cash, how to budget, how to socialise and make plans,” stated Eileen. Ms Munster said the HSE’s decision is “brutal and futile”, with the HSE’s own figures putting the savings at less than €13,000 a week. ‘This is yet another

attack on people with disabilities and is a tiny, tiny fraction of the €16 billion of the annual health budget. Yet again, we see penny pinching from the HSE when it comes to making cuts and they have the vulnerable in their crosshairs as usual. “Instead of tackling the cost overruns and waste in other areas of the health service, such as the National Children’s Hospital, they decide to take this small, but much-needed tranche of cash away from those who need it. There was no warning, no consultation with those affected. It appears to me that all decency and humanity has been stripped from the system,” she concluded.

Caolan selected on Walker Cup team Dundalk golfer, Caolan Rafferty, has joined the elite level of amateur golfers after being selected for one of the sport’s most prestigious events. Following another memorable season, the Dundalk Golf Club member has been chosen to play for the Great Britain & Ireland team to play the USA in the 2019 Walker Cup at Royal Liverpool Golf Club on September 7 and 8. This is the first time a player from the local club has been selected to play in amateur golf’s greatest team competition. Many members are planning to make the short journey across the Irish Sea to Liverpool to

ensure Caolan has plenty of support from his home club when he tees it up against the Americans. To facilitate members wishing to attend or watch the Walker Cup on television, the final Golfer of the Year event, The Cochrane Cup, which had been scheduled for September 8 will now be played on September 22. Among Caolan’s achievements this year were winning the West of Ireland title and taking part alongside the world’s elite at the American Amateur Championship which is being played at the world famous Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.

No excuse for mattresses being Dundalk Martial Arts Club S dumped ahead of amnesty compete at Best of the Rest Sinn Féin Councillor Pearse McGeough as hit out at those who dumped mattresses at Seabank in Castlebellingham describing them as “disgusting”. “There are six mattresses dumped at Seabank, Castlebellingham by some disgusting people who think they have a right to use the area as their own dump and they expect other people to clean up after them. There is no need for this at all with the mattress amnesty coming up.” Cllr McGeough explained: “Louth County Council will be having a ‘mattress amnesty day’ on Wednesday August 28 as part of the Anti-Dumping Initiative 2019. People can go to V & W Recycling centres in Dundalk and Drogheda and dump their mattresses for free on that date. They will be accepted from 12:30 – 4:30pm” There will be a

SMEs urged to prepare for Brexit

cllr Erin McGreehan has urged Small and Medium Enterprises to prepare for a Deal and a No-Deal Brexit. With the October 31 deadline approaching, business owners may have changes in reporting for exports and trade. It was revealed through a Parliamentary Question by Fianna Fail Deputy Lisa Chambers that 50% of SMEs have not actively planned for Brexit. The Minster reported that their findings in the latest research suggest that planning for Brexit is increasing very modestly with only 50% of SMEs taking some form of active engagement (up from 42% in 2018) in the form of planning or any other mitigating steps. Cllr McGreehan explained that it is particularly worrying when you see only half of businesses actively engaging to pre-

pare for Brexit. “There are free workshops and training being provided to educate businesses locally and nationally and I urge businesses to avail of this training. “Unfortunately, while the nature of the UK’s departure from the EU still remains to be determined, Brexit continues to represent a significant challenge for most businesses in Ireland and currently the exchange rates for our exporters are proving detrimental to their bottom line. “It should be known that Skillnet Ireland has devised a free training programme which offers immediate and free training to Customs intermediaries, and to businesses that frequently trade with or through the UK. This programme is completely free and consists of five to seven days of instructor led

training delivered over an eight week period. Once the training is successfully completed, businesses can then apply for a €6,000 Skillnet grant per trainee (up to a maximum of 10) to help cover the additional costs associated with managing customs compliance following Brexit,” she explained. Also LEO Louth is providing a Customs and Excise Workshop on the September 3. This workshop will cover how export and import customs procedures on trade with ‘third countries’ apply and how tariffs work. It will also cover how to correctly classify your goods. Cllr McGreehan believes that is essential that companies prepare for procedural changes after Brexit and urges them to make use of the free but very important training’.

Dearey highlights need to embrace change for climate challenge By Geraldine Kieran

Local Green Party member, Mark Dearey, has called for people to embrace change in order to tackle the challenges to our climate. Reacting to a recent UN report on the climate crisis, the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) stated clearly that land usage is having a direct and catastrophic impact on climate change. Land is a critical resource that is under increased pressure due to human activity. In the same breath the report states that the aim to keep global warming below 2ºC can be achieved by reducing green house gas emissions from all sectors which including agriculture and food. The impact for Ireland both locally and nationally is that the report seriously highlights and exposes the

Mark Dearey Government’s policies on climate change. The project Ireland 2040, and the national development framework which has been developed without a land use strategy fails to deal with issues raised by the IPCC report. “I’m on record calling for a land use strat-

egy. We as a party have always called for this, but the Government didn’t see the need for it. It is business as usual with project Ireland 2040,” stated former green party councillor. “The IPCC report really highlights the need for governments to better use land, to change

methods of transport and agricultural practices. For an urban town with surrounding rural communities we need to understand that much of the food produced on our land is for animal feed and a third of all food globally is wasted. “The Government’s action fails miserably to tackle serious issues which are driving up carbon emissions. We need to be humble and change the national development framework and put in place a land use strategy, he continued. “We must change how we use everything across all sectors. We need to manage the land better with strategic flooding methods. We must work with farmers and keep rural communities alive. The current beef movement is important, its important farmers get a good price for quality food stated,” Mark added.

Severe damage caused to animal rescue premises By Geraldine Kieran

Members of the LSPCAhave been left devastated by the recent break in at the rescue kennels and offices in Dromiskin. The LSPCA (Louth Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals) animal rescue was left destroyed when burglars broke in and smashed up the mobile home causing damage to the property. Volunteer Shannon Farrell arrived first at the property, after initially checking on the animals she noticed the door to the mobile home opened and then discovered that the

office was door smashed in. “The office door which has a double barrel lock, was smashed. They stole our brand-new CCTV system including the recording device. The level of damage is disastrous. They pulled down the curtains, slashed the seats and floor. Everything was soaked in either bleach or steriliser and God knows what else,” stated Fiona Squib, the local LSPCA inspector. The burglars appear to have taken their time to do maximum damage as no one heard the initially bang, neighbours assumed the noise was fireworks.

“The burglars took their time to toss dog food, juice, and the cut the backs of wellies. “The main damage to the mobile home was the dismantling of pipes underneath the home which will require a plumber to fix. The burglars even stole the charger for the lawn mower,” stated Fiona. “There has been some good as the response to this terrible news has been excellent. The general public have been very good by donating money to our go fund me page and donating food and bedding for the dogs. The support has been overwhelm-

ing. “The Gardai are investigating the burglary and we do hope to get some news in time. Thankfully the animals were not touched or harmed during the break in as they are always our first concern,“ stated Fiona. The LSPCA was established over 50 years ago. Fiona Squibb is the current inspector and has been a volunteer for over 15 years. The animal rescue is seeking support from the general public to help with immediate repairs. People can donate at the LSPCA GO FUND ME page.

Local winners at Comhaltas All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2019 in Drogheda was a busy time for many members of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Craobh Dhún Dealgan (Dundalk Branch of Comhaltas). For four young branch musicians, Jaymee Martin, Donnchadh Hughes, Thomas McCahill and Fionnuala Donlon it was also a very joyous occasion as they featured among the prize winners in the music competitions. Jaymee Martin was one of the youngest if not the youngest All Ireland Champion at the Fleadh. The nine year old from Dromiskin was the winner of the Under 12 Harp slow air competition. Donnchadh Hughes from Blackrock won the Concert Flute competition in the 1518 age group and was also placed third in the flute Slow Air competition. Fionnuala Donlon from Greenwood Drive won the Senior Harp title. Thomas McCahill from the Point Road was awarded second place in the Under 12 Piano Accordion competition.

Donnchadh Hughes Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann Craobh Dhún Dealgan, winner of the 15-18 Flut Competition. Donnchadh was also placed 3rd in the 15-18 Flute Slow Air Competition. Apart from the competitions, branch members were involved in many other aspects of the very successful Fleadh. A group of 36 branch members performed on the Gig Rig treating the huge crowd to 40 minutes of music song and dance. Many young members were part of the Nós Nua Louth Youth Folk Orchestra which performed at the Fleadh Farewell Orchestra. They also played on the Gig Rig and on Fleadh TV.

Several members were part of the Oriel Seisiún Group which performed for President Michael D Higgins at the official opening of the Fleadh. Other branch members were involved in performing at concerts, tutoring at Scoil Éigse, adjudicating at competitions, stewarding at venues, playing on the live Céilí House programme and playing at informal Fleadh Sessions. Branch PRO Padraig Donlon expressed great satisfaction with the

success of the competitors at the Fleadh. “Featuring in the top three at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann is a great achievement and to win an All Ireland title is simply wonderful. To win it at Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in your own county is extra special and is something that these young people will remember for the rest of their lives. “The Dundalk branch which is one of the oldest in the organisation has represented Louth very well over the years. We constantly work at maintaining the standards set by the founders of our branch,” he stated. Class Enrolment for the 2019/2020 season will be held on Monday night September 9 at 7pm in the Oriel Centre Dundalk Gaol. “This is where children will have their first experience of traditional music. Hopefully, with expert guidance from their teachers and their own efforts they will go on to enjoy playing music to a high standard for decades to come,” added Padraig.

Dundalk members plan to support Caolan at Walker Cup clash Members at Dundalk Golf Club are celebrating after Caolan Rafferty was selected for the 2019 Great Britain and Ireland team to play USA in the 2019 Walker Cup at Royal Liverpool Golf Club on September 7 and 8.

Caolan Rafferty the best rounds of the year and win the Members Prize at the Past Captains event.

Boil Water Notice remains in place during works on the Tallanstown water supply

The Boil Water Notice (BWN) currently in place for the Tallanstown Public Water Supply (PWS) since 30 July, 2019 remains in place until further notice as Irish Water continues vital work to improve and safeguard the supply. The Boil Water Notice affects approximately 2,000 people served by the Tallanstown Public Water Supply. The areas affected include; Tallanstown; Louth Village; Knockbridge; Carnalogue; Mills of Louth; Knockdillon and surrounding areas. Irish Water’s drinking water and operational experts, in partnership with Louth County Council, are continuing to work closely with the Health Service Executive and the Environmental Protection Agency to lift this BWN as quickly and as safely

as possible. The BWN was put in place as a precautionary measure following issues with the treatment process which impacted on the disinfection process at the Water Treatment Plant. This led to inadequate chlorination of the public water supply. Irish Water, in partnership with Louth County Council, have carried out tank cleaning and reservoir cleaning at the plant. The performance of the water treatment plant and water quality monitoring is continuing to ensure consistent water treatment. Flushing of the watermains in the area is ongoing, this is an essential piece of work to maintain the network and is carried out on watermains across the country. Irish Water has also con-

tacted all registered vulnerable customers affected by this Boil Water Notice and apologised for the inconvenience. “Irish Water acknowledges the impact and inconvenience caused by this BWN to homes and businesses in the Tallanstown area. We wish to thank the community for their ongoing patience and cooperation while we work to resolve this issue. Irish Water’s priority is the provision of safe, clean drinking water and safeguarding that water supply for the future is a vital focus,” they said in a statement. Updates are available on the Water Supply Updates section Three generations of the Nixon family took park in the Young Irelands 5k on their website, on Twitter @ IWCare and via our customer care helpline open 24/7 on 1850 278 278.

Support for healthcare workers Sinn Féin councillor Ruairí Ó Murchú has successfully brought a motion to Louth County Council regarding the ongoing industrial dispute between healthcare support workers and the government. Councillor Ó Murchú said he brought a motion to Louth County Council to demonstrate solidarity with the healthcare support workers. “This motion was supported by all of the councillors present

and it called on the Government to honour commitments made to these workers. “I joined the staff on the picket line at Louth County Hospital in June. The staff I met were healthcare assistants, technicians, porters, cooking and cleaning staff, absolutely essential to the workings of any healthcare facility. “They did not want to be out on strike, they told me that they hated disrupting the already

difficult job of the medical staff, they hated the inconvenience to patients and they really just wanted to get on with their jobs. “However these people, mostly women, were united in their sense of injustice at the way they had been treated and they felt they had absolutely no option but to send a strong message to the Government by withdrawing their labour,” he stated.

News

in Brief Birds And Extinction

On Tuesday September 3 at 8pm upstairs in the Spirit Store Dundalk Docks, Breffni Martin will give an illustrated talk entitled Birds in an Age of Extinction. About 14% of birds have gone extinct over the last few hundred years, about 22% of mammals and a staggering 33% of amphibians. This is between 100 and 10,000 times the background rate of extinction and tells us that we are currently living in an age of extinction. How great it will turn out to be depends on many factors. While birds have performed relatively well compared with other taxons, but up to 30% of what’s left are threatened. For example spotted flycatchers used to be common but have declined 72% in the last 20 years. The talk will cover how this came about and what is likely to happen over the next few decades. Entry is free and all are welcome.

Breathnach calls for action on illegal dumping Fianna Fáil TD for Louth, Declan Breathnach, has called for action to tackle the scourge of illegal dumping. Deputy Breathnach called for Louth County Council to be given additional resources to help address the problem. “Illegal dumping and fly tipping has developed into a serious problem in Louth and I believe our proximity to the border is a key reason for this. It’s shameful to see rubbish in parks, lay-bys and on roadsides. Not only is this a major eyesore, the dumping of toxic materials like tyres and building rubble also sparks

potential public health concerns. “Over the summer months when people are out and about more there isn’t a week that goes by where I am not contacted by locals reporting new littering and illegal dumping issues. The local Tidy Towns group and other organisations do great work in responding to littering problems, but it cannot be left solely to them to tackle the problem,” he stated. “I am concerned that not enough resources are being allocated to local authorities - manpower, surveillance and enforcement are all major

The Louth Science Festival, which is being hosted by Louth Library Service has received a boost with the announcement of funding through Science Foundation Ireland. The local library service is currently programming the Louth Science Festival which will take place across all library branches from November 11 to 23. The inaugural festival took place in 2018, partly funded by SFI. Louth Science Festival will offer a range of opportunities for the public to engage in Science Week. The festival will feature family open days, school events and public talks across the county. Minister for Business, Enterprise, and Innovation Heather Humphreys TD, and Minister for Training,

Skills, Innovation, Research and Development, John Halligan TD, announced last week an investment of €476,000 through Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), to support 13 festivals and 13 events across the country as part of national Science Week. The festival takes place in November this year, with a theme of climate action - seeking to help people understand it, how science and technology can help us create a positive climate future and the impact we as individuals can have on climate change. Yvonne O’Brien, Louth County Librarian is delighted Louth Libraries were successful in their funding application to Science Foundation Ireland and is looking forward to a

issues. Louth County Council has a dedicated lo-call customer service number where people can report illegal dumping, but the council need the resources to be able to not only deal with the clean-up but to follow through with prosecutions. “The Government must allow the council get creative with options. Drone surveillance and monitoring could be deployed over dumping blackspots which could see people caught red-handed and prosecuted. “There needs to a pro-active rather than reactive approach to illegal dumping. Taxpayers end up

footing the bill when a council team have to travel to a site and remove couches, washing machines, tyres or whatever it might be. It’s not fair and must be dealt with”, continued Deputy Breathnach. He pointed out that the CCTV programme to combat litter in Drogheda has worked; and welcomes the announcement from Louth County Council that the programme will be concentrated on other areas in Louth in the coming months. “In July, the Council issued 84 litter fines. 70 of these were in

Drogheda, 8 were in in Dundalk and then 6 in the rest of the County. These stats are a clear sign that the CCTV Programme in Drogheda has been a huge success.” “Illegal dumping takes up a lot of Council time and resources. Hitting litterers and dumpers with a fine is often the only way to stop them. I’m glad Louth County Council have said A CCTV programme under the 2019 Anti-Dumping initiative will be rolled out in other areas across Louth. I’m sure this will lead to more fines and as a result, less litter in our towns and villages.”

Louth Libraries to host Science Festival

The Louth Science Festival will take place in Louth Libraries

fun and innovative programme of events in Louth during November. “The ethos of Louth Libraries is equality of access to information, literacy, learning, job seeking and health and well-being for all. All of the community will have the oppor-

tunity to experience the programme, as an exciting, socially cohesive, community driven experience. Collaboration within the community is key to the successful roll-out of such a programme. We will engage with high profile businesses and lo-

cal industries in the county. Such collaborations will allow the opportunity to experience STEM as applied in real life, making science real,” said Yvonne. SFI, the national foundation for investment in research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), coordinates Science Week annually through its SFI Discover Programme and provides funding for projects and events to improve public understanding of science and technology. Businesses, communities and institutions are invited to take part in Science Week. If you are interested in working with Louth Libraries on the festival programme please contact Amanda Branigan at 9324334 or email Amanda.branigan@louthcoco.ie.

Blackrock Film Festival

Grease will feature at the Blackrock Film Festival which takes place this weekend

Blackrock is gearing up for the annual film festival which takes place this weekend, from Thursday August 29 to Sunday September 1. The opening night on Thursday takes place the atmospheric 100 year old AOH hall on the edge of the village when we’ll be swept back in time with the 1923 classic “The Hunchback of Notre Dame“ with the original film score being accompanied live Mark Murphy and Cliodhna Quinlan. On Friday this year’s free spectacular free open air beach movie is another family favourite, the smash hit 70s movie “Grease” with popular numbers by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta.

Cavan-made movie “The Man Who Wanted To Fly” will be shown in the AOH on Saturday night and introduced by the man himself, Bobbie Coote. On Sunday evening, the romantic comic fantasy film, “Ame-

lie” will be shown in the retro café/bistro Rocksalt followed by an 80s Blockbuster “Back to the Future” in the Neptune Bar to close out the festival. Tickets available from Conor Hughes shop in Blackrock.

DkIT President delivers welcome address

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) President, Michael Mulvey, delivered the welcome address at the eighth Annual Thomas D’Arcy McGee Summer School which took place in Carlingford Heritage Centre on August 20 and 21. Speaking to a packed room of attendees comprising local regional representatives, regional industry, cultural specialists and the general public, he opened the proceedings by welcoming all to the event which in its brief history has proven to be an unrivalled platform that celebrates political and cultural reflection for people across the island of Ireland and beyond. “This year’s pro-

gramme is framed against the backdrop and context of Brexit – a formidable political, economic and historic challenge. Thomas D’Arcy McGee was a son of this town, a man who was familiar with challenge and change in his own time and in his own beliefs. It was in Canada that he made his mark as did so many of his fellow countrymen who have emigrated from this part of Ireland to seek a new life in Canada and work side by side in harmony with other immigrants from Ireland. Canada welcomed the Irish of all orientation and backgrounds,” he stated. In his discussions around Brexit, Mr Mulvey spoke about how the

Institute is responding to this issue. “At DkIT our response to Brexit is to influence the things that are under our control by working with industry through upskilling and research and engagement. As with many big societal challenges, the only effective response is a highly skilled highly educated population that provides enterprises in the region with that constant injection of new ideas, innovation and energy,” continued Mr Mulvey who also spoke about how DkIT is actively involved in the planning and organisation of the Summer School; “It’s about ideas, energy and in particular the insights that are provid-

ed by our speakers and audience participation – those insights provoke discussion and generate ideas and energy that help us and keep us motivated to find new and better ways to improve society and particularly the communities in this very beautiful part of the world. “Now more than ever we need to find unity in diversity – Thomas D’Arcy McGee’s ability to see unity in apparently diverse positions served Canada well – it served the architects of the Belfast Agreement well – and it may indeed serve as a useful metaphor to address the seemingly irreconcilable diversity of positions in relation to Brexit,” he concluded.
