Minor Injury Unit services extended

Ingrida Maciokaite's life was tragically taken away from her last week and now her former neighbours from St Nicholas Avenue have come together to try and raise money to pay for her funeral. Ingrida and her two young children lived in St Nicholas Avenue for just over a year and they were very popular members of the close-knit community. Ingrida was an active member of the community and took part in the annual spring clean on the Avenue while she lived on the estate. The residents of St Nicholas Avenue were deeply saddened by Ingrida’s death and a number have them have come together to try and raise Continued On Page 2

From Page 1 funds to give the Lithuanian native the send off she deserved. According to Eugene Garvey is one of the people involved in organising the fundraiser and he called on the people of Dundalk to donate to ensure that Ingrida’s funeral expenses are taken care of. “Ingrida lived in our estate for over a year and she was a very popular resident. She got involved in a number of initiatives in the estate including our annual Spring Clean and she was very well liked by all of us down here. We are a tight knit community so we were obviously shocked and saddened when news came through that Ingrida’s life had been cruelly taken from her. “She leaves behind her two beautiful young children and if we have money left over after the funeral is paid for it will be given to them. Ingrida has no family back in Lithuania except for an aunt and she has given permission for her niece’s body to be buried in Dundalk so her kids will have their mother’s grave close to them. She came over here to make Dundalk her home and this is where she will be buried on Wednesday morning (today). “Ourselves along with the Lithuanian community in Dundalk want to give Ingrida a proper send-off but unfortunately funerals are not cheap. As they grieve, we have offered to help them raise the funds through a gofundme page which I have set up. If there is anything you can do to help it would be greatly appreciated. As I said before any excess money raised will go toward her two children so even if you are reading this after her funeral all donations will still be gratefully accepted,” stated Eugene. The 31-year-old mother-of-two was stabbed to death in Linenhall St. last Tuesday. Edmundas Dauksa (48), who is also from Lithuania, has been charged with her murder. The funeral is due to take place today (Wednesday) at 11am in St Nicholas’s church. If you would like to donate you can visit www. gofundme.com/funeral-for-ingrida.

Serious concerns have been raised about the future of the Authentic Food Company factory, formerly Heinz, in Dundalk after plant workers revealed they are worried the site is being wound down. The worries have been highlighted by Sinn Fein councillors Ruairi O Murchu and Anne Campbell, who, on Friday, met with

some of the staff. Following that meeting, the Dundalk South councillors briefed TD Gerry Adams about the matter and Mr Adams has written to the managing director of The Authentic Food Company, Nik Basran. The Authentic Food Company, which is headquartered in Manchester, took over the Dundalk factory in Feb-

ruary 2015. Cllr. O Murchu said: “Anne and I were approached by staff from the site and met with them at the Sinn Fein office. It was clear from what we were told that there are serious concerns about the future of the factory, which employs 180 people on a full-time basis, in addition to a number of temporary staff”.

The annual open night took place in Ardee Community School on Thursday September 20 as prospective students and parents were given a glimpse of what the school has to offer. Ms. Jackson, principal, addressed the audience and encouraged parents to send their children to the school in the ‘community’, which caters for all needs; cultural, academic, sporting and pastoral. She also referred to the new school extension, which opened in September. The new school pitch is also ready for use and will enable school teams to host matches against other school teams. The guests were also introduced to Head Boy, Donal McKenny and Head Girl, Grace Duffy, who spoke about their personal school experiences and about how honoured and privileged they both feel to repre-

sent their school. Both of them mentioned how academic success is their priority and they are currently studying for their Leaving Cert, yet how cultural activities have always been a major part of their school lives. Grace spoke about her passion for art and her career prospects, while Donal spoke about the work of mentors and prefects in the school.

He also mentioned the importance of sport in his school life. The Deputy Head Boy James Reilly spoke about his involvement with the staff and the students in the autism centre. He also talked about the two school buildings which now act as one educational unit. Michaela McKenna, Deputy Head Girl, talked about the value of T.Y. in preparing her for

her role and how the experience improved her confidence. Fionn O’Reilly, Chairperson of Student Council, spoke as the representative of the school community. He told the audience how student ideals and proposals were taken into account when the new school building was designed. He explained how important “the student voice” is in ACS.

Warning over hike Minor in pay parking rates

Injury Unit services extended

Dundalk Leader 26th September 2018

Louth County Council Chief Executive has warned councillors not to vote against a substantial increase in pay parking which if passed will apply to both Dundalk and Drogheda. Earlier in the meeting the chief executive also asked for a 15% hike of the Local Property Tax and warned that she will have no option but to find €500,000 in cuts for the 2019 budget if the councillors didn’t vote in favour of her proposal. Joan Martin was speaking at the monthly Louth County Council meeting where she outlined to councillors that the extra revenue brought in from an increase in the LPT would go towards the cost of land loans and making a higher

provision in next year’s budget for housing maintenance. Earlier in the meeting the chief executive also claimed that a failure to raise the Local Property Tax would have a negative impact on services which are already inadequate. Sinn Fein councillors rejected Joan Martin’s calls and instead tabled a 15% reduction in the LPT while independent councillor Frank Godfrey proposed that the rate remain unchanged. After much debate Sinn Fein’s proposal was voted down while Cllr Godfrey’s call for the LPT to remain unchanged was passed. The councillors will sit down for this year’s budget meeting on November 19th.

From this week children aged five and over can be treated in the Dundalk Injury Unit in the Louth Hospital. Prior to Monday no child under 14 could be treated in the Minor Injuries Unit and according to Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick this new facility ensures some much-needed progress for Louth Hospital. “This is a stepping stone in the right direction for the Louth Hospital. I have been working directly with Minister Harris for the last two years on this issue. It is vital that the people of the Dundalk area use this new facility to ensure the Louth Hospital can progress further. Hopefully this is only the start of getting all services back to the Louth County Hospital. Meanwhile Sinn Fein councillor Anne Campbell who has been campaigning for the re-introduction of full services in the hospital has welcomed the news saying that this new facility will alleviate pressure on the Lourdes hospital. “After all that waiting and postponement of

Gardaí in Dundalk are appealing for witnesses to an attack which occurred in the early hours of September 21 on Clanbrassil St, Dundalk. In the early hours of Friday morning a 52year old man was attacked in an alleyway just off Clanbrassil St by two teenagers who were both on bicycles. The man was attacked and was bleeding from his injuries and he also had cash taken from him. Gardaí attended the scene and have appealed for anybody to contact Dundalk Garda station if they have information on the attack. The garda confidential line can also be used on 1800666111. Meanwhile there were three drug detections this week in Dundalk with two incidents on the Castletown Road and one on Stapleton Place. The two incidents on Castletown Road saw Gardaí recover drugs upon persons at ap-

proximately 2am on September 22 while a third incident occurred the following night in Stapleton Place. A juvenile was stopped by gardaí on September 19 at 4am on Yorke St. where he was found to have a large breadknife and a Stanley knife in his possession. The youth was assigned to the Garda diversion programme. This programme, operated by the Garda Youth Diversion Office, provides that in certain circumstances a young person under 18 years of age who freely accepts responsibility for a criminal incident can be cautioned and supervised as an alternative to prosecution. Finally, there was a 30-year-old male arrested at approximately 7:30am following an attempted burglary in Linenhall St. on Monday September 24. The male was caught by Gardaí when attempting to leave the house.

minister announced it two years ago. I, supported by Cllr Pearse McGeough and our TD Gerry Adams, refused to let the promise fall by the wayside and ensured it was kept to the forefront of our hospital campaign. “This will alleviate

the pressure on Our Lady of Lourdes hospital in Drogheda as well as the pressure on families with children who up until now, had to drive past a Minor Injuries Unit to get to an overstretched unit in Drogheda. This is good news for Dundalk.”

One tenant evicted through Anti-Social Behavioural Policy Just one tenant has been evicted from their council house over the past five years as a result of the local authority’s Anti-Social Behavioural Policy. Meanwhile a total of 17 tenants have been put on a final warning during the same period of time. The statistics were read out at Monday’s monthly Louth County Council meeting following a question submitted by Fianna Fail councillor Conor Keelan. The most recent amendment to the AntiSocial Behaviour Strategy, was adopted by the elected members of the council two years ago and applies to the Council’s social housing units, including those managed by approved housing bodies and halting sites. The strategy was drawn up in consultation with the Joint Policing Committee, An Garda Siochána, the Health Service Executive,

and advocates of those suffering from mental health issues. It aims to best coordinate council services to prevent and reduce antisocial behaviour, through good estate management and promoting co-operation with other bodies, such as An Garda Siochána, in preventing and dealing with the issue. In relation to this policy Cllr Keelan asked ‘Can the members be informed in each of the last 5 years how many individuals have faced the ultimate sanction of eviction under the Council’s Anti-Social behaviour policy and how many exclusion orders and tenancy warnings have also been issued?’ In response a council official revealed that just one tenant had faced the ultimate sanction over the past five years. ‘In the last five years 17 tenants were put on a fi-

nal warning, one went on to subsequently lose their tenancy. Six exclusion orders were also secured in the same time period. One order for repossession was also recently confirmed in the Circuit Court in relation to an applicant made, based on a conviction of supply of drugs from our property, which is contrary to the provisions of our Strategy,” stated the council representative. Commenting on the figures Cllr Keelan admitted he was surprised at that the figures were so low. “I have to preface what I say by acknowledging that I do know that this is an important policy and it can and does work but I have to admit that based on my correspondence with my representatives regarding antisocial behaviour I would have thought the figures would have been higher,” stated Cllr Keelan.

Arthritis information night An information evening about rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was organised by Arthritis Ireland in Dundalk on Tuesday 11 September. The event is part of a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of the condition that affects 45,000 people in Ireland. A talk was given at the event by Dr Shawn Chavrimootoo, consultant rheumatologist at Our Lady’s Hospital, Navan. The information evening attracted 100 delegates. More than 2,000 people are diagnosed annually in this country with RA; the majority aged in their 30s, 40s or 50s.

Three in four people living with RA are women. Early diagnosis is key to better longterm outcomes. If ignored or left undiagnosed, this chronic disease can impact other organs such as the heart, eyes and lungs, and ultimately can increase mortality. According to Gráinne O’Leary, CEO of Arthritis Ireland, “It’s important that people know what the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are, so that they don’t dismiss them, but seek medical advice once they recognise one of the warning signs. While symptoms of

RA can vary from person to person, the most common are pain and swelling in the joints, stiffness in the joints, redness, inflammation and fatigue. “Rheumatoid arthritis can have a considerable impact on people’s quality of life, particularly in relation to their career, relationships, lifestyle and mental health. These are the invisible effects of living with the disease,” Ms O’Leary said. Further information about the Living with RA campaign is available on the Arthritis Ireland website, www. arthritisireland.ie.

Man charged after stabbing in Dundalk

A 33-year-old man appeared before a special sitting of Dundalk District Court on Sunday evening following a stabbing incident in Doolargy Avenue in Dundalk. Ciaran Rogers was charged by Gardai in Dundalk following the incident which saw a man in his 20s and a woman in her 30s assaulted outside a house in Doolargy Avenue, Muirhevnamor. According to the Gardaí the man in his early 20s was attacked outside a house on Doolargy avenue. When the woman in her 30s tried to intervene she too was attacked with a knife. It is understood that the man and woman who were as-

saulted were members of the same family. The incident occurred on Saturday evening at approximately 6:30pm. Ciaran Rogers (33) and another man (35) were arrested at the scene of the incident and taken to Dundalk Garda station. Rogers was charged on Sunday and in a special sitting of Dundalk District Court he was remanded to Cloverhill to appear in court on Friday afternoon. The second man who was arrested at the scene has been detained at Dundalk Garda Station in respect of assault causing harm. Meanwhile, there was a second stabbing incident which

took place in Ardee on Friday evening when a man in his 30s was allegedly assaulted by another man in his 30s before being taken to Our Lady of Lourdes hospital in Drogheda. A statement from Gardaí confirmed that investigations are ongoing. “Gardaí are investigating a serious assault which occurred at Ferdia Pk, Ardee on the 21st Sept 2018 at approximately 9.10pm. A man in his 30s was allegedly assaulted by another man in his 30s and was taken to Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital with an apparent stab wound. Investigations are ongoing,” concluded the statement.

Eve started to learn to swim in Aura Leisure Dundalk at the age of 5 years. She progressed through the 9 levels in the Swim Academy and Rookie lifeguard and has always been passionate about her swimming! During this time at the young age of 6, Eve underwent a very successful liver transplant and has never looked back. This year for the second time Eve competed in the UK transplant games in early August and brought home five medals - two gold, two silver and a bronze. It has been indicated that due to her excellent performance she has a good chance from her performance to get onto the squad for the Great Britain team for the world games next year. Not only is this a great tribute to Eve and her family but an absolute endorsement of the importance of Organ donation.

Make Way Day comes to Louth

Louth County Council are among 15 Local Authorities supporting Make Way Day 2018. People around County Louth may expect to see a friendly sticker from #MakeWayLouth on Wednesday September 26, reminding everyone to make way for people with disabilities. Disability groups from around the county will be out highlighting obstacles such as: Cars or vans parked on a footpath blocking the way. Bicycle/motorbikes chained to lampposts creating a trip hazard for a visually impaired person. Placement of bins, barrels and other obstructions. A blitz of social media posts (videos, photographs) with the hashtags #MakeWayDay and #MakeWayLouth. Upload your photos and videos and call for

national recognition of #MakeWayDay. Fifteen of the country’s local authorities and four leading disability organisations have come together to call for greater public awareness of the needs of people with disabilities in the public spaces we all share. They believe thoughtlessness and genuine lack of awareness is behind most instances like those listed. Commenting on the public awareness campaign, Joan Martin, Chief Executive of Louth County Council said , “Make Way Day gives every single one of us an opportunity to be more mindful of the 13% of the Irish population who have a disability. Bringing in your bin early in the day, or clipping your hedge might not seem that important, but it’s a small action with a big impact for a neighbour, who otherwise might not be able to get down the street.”

Talk On Swifts

On Monday October 1 at 8pm upstairs in the Spirit Store Dundalk Docks, Brian Caffrey of Birdwatch Ireland will give an illustrated talk on Swifts. Swifts are a remarkable species. From leaving the nest they may not touch land for months on end, sleeping and mating on the wing; they fly to 10,000 ft in altitude, can cover hundreds of kilometres in a day, are monogamous, and routinely live over 20 years. Brian has been studying swifts for years and is a knowledgeable and interesting speaker. Entry is free and all are welcome.

“This is our first major event of the season at Marshes Shopping Centre and we are also looking forward to hosting more family events.”

Eddie Rogers claims final cup of season Eddie Rogers won the final cup of the season on Sunday when he shot the only sub-par round of the day to capture the Knights of Malta Cup. Playing off four, Rogers shot a one-under par 71 to edge out Ciaran Daly (18) and Trevor Giff (11) by one shot on a day when slick greens and a strong wind provided a stern test for the 160 strong field. Rogers went through the opening nine holes in level par gross as

he shot seven pars, a birdie and a bogey with the birdie coming at the par three ninth. More birdies followed at the par five 10th, and par three 13th but as the wind picked up the going got tougher and he bogeyed the 11th, 14th, 15th and 18th to come home in 39 gross. That gave him a gross score of 75 and a nett score of 71 and set an early clubhouse lead that wasn’t bettered. Daly edged out Giff on countback to take second overall with

the latter winning Category 2 while Terry Conlon (6) and Derek Teather (16) took Categories 1 and 3 respectively. Padraig Greenan claimed the Juvenile Prize while Senior Panel member Neal MacKell (2) took the Gross Prize with a 74. The Knights of Malta Cup was the 11th and final qualifying round in the Golfer of the Year competition and once the dust had settled Clem Walshe (5) emerged as a clear winner after compiling a sev-

en round total of 502. That worked out at an average score of 71.7. Peter Rogers (1) and Conor Curran (2) were joint second on 512 which was one shot better than Junior Cup winner Neal MacKell (2) as the low men filled the top four slots. The schedule for the All Ireland Barton Shield Finals has been announced by the Golfing Union of Ireland. The semi-finals will take place on Thursday, October 4, at Thurles Golf Club, Co Tipperary.

Marlmount showhomes on view

Sherry FitzGerald Carroll are pleased to introduce the newest phase in the ever popular, quality development known as Marlmount with three showhomes on view on Saturday and Sunday September 29 and 30. Marlmount is located in a privileged setting to the south of Dundalk on the Old Dublin Road a short stroll to the the seaside village of Blackrock with its dramatic coastline capturing Dundalk Bay and Cooley Mountains. Marlmount features the best in modern design and construction and international standards of materials and finish, but it is also about providing you with an opportunity to indulge in your own sense of luxury and create your very personal spaces. Both inside and out you will find the very highest standards at Marlmount, standards that make a better backdrop to daily life. Marlmount is about choice: a select choice of three, four or five bedroom houses each equal in quality but distinctly different in style and scope, respecting the tastes and requirements of the individuals who will live here. The flowing internal spaces, high ceilings and maximised natural light define these exquisite homes. These well-appointed houses offer modern variations on traditional themes of quality and comfort. The houses are covered by the HomeBond 10 Year Guarantee Scheme.
