Bishop Michael Router, auxiliary Bishop of Armagh, has warned that it ‘will be devastating for families if FASN is forced to close’. The Family Addiction Support Network in Dundalk was founded twenty years ago to support families traumatised by addiction.

Last October FASN applied for funding to keep its level of service going but received just a fraction of what it needed to run projects across the North East. With their very existence now threatened the Bishop, who is also a patron of

FASN, has requested an urgent meeting with Minister for Public Health, Well Being and National Drugs Strategy, Frank Feighan.

According to Bishop Router the closure of the service will have devastating effects for many families locally.

“This week national media coverage highlighted the serious intimidating behaviour connected to the ongoing drugs related criminal activity in the Border area. It’s hard to believe therefore that funding difficulties facing the Family Addiction Support Network in Dundalk – founded 20 Continued on Page 2

Bishop urges support for FASN service

Continued from Page 1 years ago to support families traumatised by addiction – is threatening its continued existence. I am seeking an urgent meeting with Minister of State for Public Health, Well Being and National Drugs Strategy, Frank Feighan, to seek assistance to keep FASN operating into the future,” stated Bishop Router.

“The value of FASN to our local community

has been clearly identified by the State.

Earlier this year Minister for Justice Helen McEntee published the Scoping Report into Community Safety and Wellbeing in Drogheda, by the former Director of the Probation Service, Mr Vivian Geiran, who identified FASN as one of the key local projects in response to the drugsfuelled emergency in Drogheda, as did the Department of Justice’s own implementation

plan, Drogheda: Building a Bridge to a Better Future, published last month,” he added.

“Last October FASN applied for funding to keep its level of service going but received just a fraction of what it needed to run projects across the North East.

These projects are vital at this time, providing significant support to families facing all the stresses and strains that addiction brings including the horrifying

problem of drug-debt intimidation.

“As patron of the Family Addiction Support Network in Dundalk, I have seen at first hand the great work that the organisation undertakes, but I have also witnessed the negative impact that the lack of funding is having on its very dedicated personnel. Last year FASN staff helped over 250 families in the region.

Without question, it will be devastating for such

families if its service is forced to close.

“I strongly support the role of the Family Addiction Support Network

and am appealing for Government funding to help deliver its vital services for the wellbeing of our community,” concluded the Bishop.

Most impressions of Bikers worldwide can be a very skewed and misrepresented due to past histories and negative representation. Those impressions and opinions have changed and continue to change day by day. Many Motorcycle Clubs nowadays are displaying their sensitive sides contrary to their hardened exterior and “Tough Guy” appearances. One such Club showing their sensitive side is Odin’s Ravens MCC which was founded in Dundalk back in May 2019.

The Club and its members were recently made aware of a little 8-year-old girl by the name of Amelia from Drogheda who was diagnosed with Juvenile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), which is a rare terminal genetic degenerative disease with no cure which results in a loss of motor skills such as walking, moving, speaking and swallowing, loss of intellectual thinking and memory skills, stiff rigid muscles, paralysis, seizures, blindness, hearing loss and dementia and eventually death. There is currently six people on the island of Ireland with this rare condition and Amelia is one of these people.

Odin’s Ravens MCC was contacted by a fundraising organiser by the name of Anita Collins on behalf of the group “All for Amelia” to see if the local Louth Motorcycle Club could do anything to raise vital needed funds to assist Amelia’s way of living and her care. When the Club were informed in detail of the effects and stages of MLD they were immediately connected to the cause as it had plucked the hearts of all Members within the Club, as many of the Clubs Members are Parents themselves and felt that if it were them in Amelia’s situation they would want as much help as possible to make things as comfortable as possible.

Amelia was diagnosed with Juvenile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy back in 2020 a month before her seventh birthday but before this lived an incredibly happy and normal life as actively as any other child her age. Prior to her diagnosis Amelia’s parents started to notice that Amelia

was clumsier than her siblings and her ability to run as fast as them was not there either and when doing so Amelia’s parents had noticed she was kicking her right leg out a lot.

Amelia had a bad fall causing her to be referred for an MRI upon a visit to the Doctor which had shown some abnormalities within the white matter of her brain.

Unfortunately, Amelia’s diagnosis came too late as she had progressed beyond the treatment stage of MLD which include Gene therapy or bone marrow transplant which slows down the progression of the illness but does not cure it and is only effective if it is applied when you are pre symptomatic.

Odin’s Ravens MCC compelled by the sad news of this wonderful girl and the determination of Amelia’s parents and close friends alike were driven.

Driven to drive for this wonderful little warrior. So much so that they are banding together and asking the biking community in Ireland to band together with them in raising funds to purchase vital care equipment necessary to ease and assist with Amelia’s medical needs. Whether you are a club or independent or even just a person also compelled by Amelia’s story, you all are invited to attend the organised ride out departing on Sunday the 26th of September at 2pm from the Spirit Store Dundalk heading to the Family Fun Day located at Newtown Blues GFC in Drogheda. The route that was decided upon was picked in order to make this a learner legal run as the Club has stated that they “will all arrive together no matter the pace”.

Members of Odin’s Ravens MCC are doing several fundraising activities at the destination such as a sponsored beard shave, waxing of members and the eating Surstromming (fermented herring fillets) and a Durian fruit with both rated as two of the worlds most disgusting and smelliest food items with videos going viral on social media worldwide of people attempting to complete the challenges. On the day there will also be t-shirts, patches, keyrings and raffle tickets sold on the day with a list of food to choose from as such as hot dogs, burgers and

pulled pork with a tuck shop with all sorts of treats available.

There will be a live DJ, a magician for adults and kids alike and so much more. This is set to be a fantastic day for a fantastic cause, and it surely is one not to miss. All motorcycle riders

participating on the run will be asked to donate €10 as the driver and €5 for pillion and every other donation would be greatly appreciated. 100% of the funds from start to finish are being donated by O.R.M.C.C to the “All for Amelia” GoFundMe and the Club has expressed their excitement to raise as much as possible and they are looking forward to bikers yet again rallying around a worthy cause.

For further Information, Log onto the Odin’s Ravens MCC and the All for Amelia Facebook pages and a member of the administrations would be more than happy to assist in any questions and queries that you may have.

Come on out and show your support, what else are you going to do on a Sunday?

De La Salle College, Dundalk

Repeat Leaving Certificate Programme The Repeat Leaving Certificate Programmeat De La Salle College, Dundalk has had fantastic success over many years with most students increasing their points score in the Leaving Certificate Examination by between seventy and eighty-five points. It is not unusual for some students to increase points scored by over one hundred points. Some past pupils of the programme have achieved success at a higher examination level in individual subjects. De la Salle College, Dundalk welcomes applications from students, both male and female, who have already completed a Leaving Certificate (scoring a minimum of five passes) and who wish to repeat the examination.

Features of the programme include: • Experienced member of staff appointed an Assistant Principal Post with responsibility to co-ordinate the programme and to monitor the progress of students • Dedicated RLC class with experienced teacher in Higher Level English. Dedicated classes for RLC students in certain subjects where numbers applying to take these subjects are sufficient • Comprehensive range of optional subjects • Access to the full range of services at the College, including Guidance Counselling and Pastoral Care • Strong record of success in achieving improvement on previous grades/points Application packs will be available from the school office from Friday, 3rd September, 2021 and the deadline for return of completed application forms is by close of business on Monday, 13th September, 2021.

“I can honestly say that repeating was, without doubt, one of the best decisions I could have made after getting my Leaving Cert results. At that stage I was still unsure what to do so the year gave me plenty of time to look at my options for the future. The year was also extremely beneficial as I knew what to expect and I wasn’t as nervous sitting the exams.”.

(Conor Black, Class of 2019, studying Mechanical Engineering in DCU) “Taking the decision to repeat in De La Salle was a very difficult decision to make. However, in hindsight, it was the right choice. Although it was hard mentally to go back and sit another Leaving Cert, I am now exactly where I wanted to be thanks to the guidance and advice I received from the staff and the Repeat Leaving Cert Coordinator. To anyone taking the decision to repeat, best of luck and you will thank yourself in years to come.”

New E-Scooter laws must be enacted quickly says Brendan People who use scooters on public roads are not only breaking the law, they are also endangering the safety of pedestrians a local disability campaigner has warned. Brendan Moore stated that he was recently on Clanbrassil St. when a person came towards him at speed on an e-scooter on a public footpath shouting at him to get out of the way.

“I did get out of his way and the person continued at speed on the footpath up the street towards the square.

These people are causing unacceptable risks and distress for those with hearing and vision impairments and or mobility issues. The risk to this section of the community is unacceptable as well as being a danger to pedestrians.

“Mobility impaired

New laws for E-scooters are on the way.

pedestrians love to get out and about and socialise in town but they may feel forced to discontinue this due to unacceptable risks of EScooters on the streets of Dundalk. I would plead with the town manager and local councillors to follow Mayo County Council’s lead and make it clear by putting up signs telling people that it is illegal for escooters to be used on public roads, pavements

and cycle paths. I would also ask the gardaí to issue fines to those who continue to flout the law and ride their e-scooters on the footpath,” stated Brendan.

“There has been a huge upsurge in people using e-scooters as an alternative to cars or public transport but the fact is that it is illegal to use them anywhere but on private land with the permission of the landowner. E-Scooters are

currently not taxed or insured for use in public places while those that are classified as mechanically propelled vehicles require a license, tax and insurance.

“I know that the government are hoping to enact a bill shortly which will outline a number of safety measures including speed limits, a minimum age requirement of sixteen and making it compulsory to wear helmets. Tax and insurance for the vehicle would also become compulsory. I would urge them to get that bill passed before Christmas as if the situation remains unresolved we are going to see a huge amount of kids getting e-scooters for Christmas which will see the problems on our footpaths get even worse,” warned Brendan.

Cllr McGeough urges people to get a check-up

Sinn Féin Councillor Pearse McGeough is urging people to ‘get a checkup’ as we emerge from pandemic restrictions.

Cllr McGeough said “I have been touching base with constituents as we haven’t been on the doors in the past 18 months. In the rural areas especially some have told me of their physical health concerns having been put on the back burner. While GP surgeries were operating a telephone or video consultation in order to stay in contact with their patients and kept non-Covid healthcare going under very challenging circumstances, some people I have spoken to didn’t want to ‘add to their burden’. Some lumps and bumps were dismissed as unimportant in the grand Covid scheme of things.

“I was with a gentleman recently who asked me to spread the word to people of the importance of these check-ups. Although things are still running at capacity in hospitals as the numbers remain high, your GP wants to hear from you, especially if you have symptoms or concerns no matter how small. Don’t put it off.

“Thanks to a prompt visit to his GP, this gentleman had a condition identified and is being treated. He cannot stress enough the importance of an early GP visit. Get your blood pressure checked and blood tests done just to make sure everything is ok.

“Men are notoriously bad at discussing health problems but early detection is the key in many cases. I would urge all men over the age of 50 to get their prostrate checked. Ask your doctor for a PSA test and take it from there.”

Cllr McGeough also advised “as someone who knows and someone who is of a certain age, I would encourage everyone to visit their doctor at least once a year. Don’t put it off.”

SEEK Festival hits new heights!

This next instalment of SEEK Urban Arts Festival is going to be legendary in more ways than one.

The fourth mural in this year’s line-up is going to be the tallest one in Ireland! The location of this record breaking mural will be none other than the Crowne Plaza Hotel - an already instantly identifiable landmark in the Dundalk skyline that also holds the title of the 10th tallest building in Ireland. The artistic theme chosen for this seismic wall is ‘Lugh’ (Lú) one of the most ancient and prominent gods in Irish mythology, and is famed as the namesake of County Louth.

A mural of these epic proportions is ambitious, it’s hard to believe that the SEEK

Festival in Dundalk is only in its third year when you look at what they have already achieved to date.

Martin McElligott, TCCM said "Its exciting news, not only for the festival, but for the town. The grand scale of this location is something we could only have dreamed of three years ago. The artist we have invited to undertake this monumental piece of work is known as ‘Smug One’ and is internationally renowned."

Australian artist Sam Bates aka SMUG One said "It's always a pleasure to visit cities and towns I haven't experienced before so I'm really excited to come to Dundalk.

This wall might be the tallest I've painted so

Crowne Plaza

although there's always an amount of nerves approaching a mural of this size I'm really keen to get stuck in."

Speaking on behalf of the Crowne Plaza,

Cormac McCann said "We are incredibly excited to be involved in this year's SEEK 2021 program. The stunning murals created by the festival artists are something we in the wider community should take real pride in. It will be great to now have the tallest mural on the Island of Ireland here in Dundalk, and with artwork that celebrates the ancient culture and historical significance of the county - to say we are excited is an understatement."

Project partner, Sarah Daly and the team from Creative Spark are very excited to see the work that Smug will produce during this next phase of SEEK Dundalk and really pleased that the 2021 festival has been extended to include

more elements and a longer timeframe.

"This year for the first time as part of the extended festival we will provide mentoring and training programmes to TY and 5th year students who are considering careers in the creative industries, to allow them access to professional artists and cultural events coordinators.

"We will shortly begin the development of a book commemorating the first three years of SEEK – featuring photographs of the wall murals, interviews with the artists, and essays on the local historical individuals depicted in the murals. The book will celebrate not just the festival but the town and its inhabitants past and present."

Words matter says Erin

A local senator has hit out at a newspaper column which criticised the appearance of a number of female Fianna Fáil politicians. The article written by Niamh Walsh in the Mail on Sunday has since been branded as ‘personal, nasty and unkind’ by An Taoiseach Micheal Martin.

Erin McGreehan said she was hesitant in responding to the article which suggested she should have ‘run an iron over her dress’ while also commenting on the appearance of seven of her female party colleagues.

“When I read the article I was hurt and upset and couldn’t believe what I was reading. I was hesitant in given the article anymore oxygen and I knew if I commented I was opening myself up to accusations of being a snowflake but at the end of the day words matter and I detest bullies so I felt I had to speak out.

The response to my tweet which I posted on Sunday evening has been unbelievable and overwhelmingly positive. I have had so many messages of support from people I don’t know and even the likes of Laura Whitmore and the nun from Derry Girls

Crowe Street Dundalk

Senator Erin McGreehan.

have publicly given me their support.

“I don’t know what is wrong with another human being that they could be so blatantly horrible to another human being. Words and actions and attitude are everything and it is how people should be judged. Not one person should be dragged down because of their looks or their clothes. My job is not to look well.

My job is to represent and to advocate for people. My wardrobe doesn’t create my empathy and my want to do my best for this country.

“I know we can all be pass remarkable and comment on people’s appearances but to write an article in a very popular national newspaper criticising somebody’s appearance is just not on in my opinion. I have had a few negative emails telling me to toughen up and that I should expect this sort of thing if I put myself forward for public office.

“That is a view I disagree with entirely.

I have feelings and empathy and I don’t think that those feelings should be suppressed just because I’m in public office. I don’t want our policy makers to be unfeeling robots. I want them to have emotional intelligence and feelings and rather than asking us to toughen up maybe we should focus on asking people to behave with more decency.

“A lot of people are struggling with their mental health and something like this could really damage them and tip them over the edge. But as I said earlier I am overwhelmed with the positivity I have received since calling this article out and hopefully this will show people that it is not ok to attack people in public like this,” stated Erin.

Water flushing will be finished at beginning of October Flushing of the water mains in Dundalk will be finished in the first week of October, according to Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú who met with Irish Water representatives on Monday.

The Sinn Féin TD was joined at the meeting by his colleague Cllr. Kevin Meenan and highlighted to Irish Water representatives the issues of discoloured water and low water pressure in Dundalk and North Louth.

Deputy Ó Murchú and Cllr. Meenan were told how the mains flushing programme, which has been ongoing by Irish Water for over a month, has led to 60% of the local water network being cleared, with the other 40% expected to be completed by the first week in October.

The Dundalk TD said: ‘Cllr. Meenan and I had requested this meeting a number of weeks ago with Irish Water in relation to the ongoing water quality problems in Dundalk and North Louth.

‘We were aware before the meeting that manganese had become a major issue for Louth consumers this summer and Irish Water informed us that it was also an issue for customers in other parts of the region, including Cavan.

‘There is, Irish Water says, research being carried out by the EPA into why manganese is a problem now, and this

Deputy Ruairí Ó Murchú may have something to do with rising temperatures in rivers and other water sources.

‘Irish Water told us that a lot of resources have gone into the flushing programme. They are now monitoring the levels of manganese and they told us they had to deal with the issue at a treatment plant level before they started the mains flushing.

‘They have also given assurances that there will be better water pressure into the Cooley peninsula when the realignment of pipes at the Bridge of Peace is completed later this year.

‘We highlighted the numerous

problems with water pressure in Cooley this summer and Irish Water told us there is an issue with the ESB supply to the pumps, where one outage led to a number of other problems.

‘They told us they are working with ESB to get this matter resolved’.

The Sinn Féin representatives also pressed Irish Water on future planning and on learning the lessons from water problems in Dundalk this summer.

Deputy Ó Murchú said: ‘There was a multitude of issues that came to a head over the last couple of months, including the increase in manganese in the water as well as a problem with a ‘new industrial user’ who was consuming a lot of water over short periods of time. Irish Water has assured us that they are rectifying these issues’.

If people have concerns about their water, they are advised to contact Irish Water directly.

Forward planning and investment in infrastructure, particularly at the Cavan Hill treatment plant, will be the subject of a meeting with public representatives and asset planners at Irish Water in the coming months.

Deputy Ó Murchú said: ‘It is vital that there is continued planning and investment to ensure the water infrastructure and quality is sustainable into the future’.

Local councillors demand more action from local mental health services

Local councillors Maeve Yore and Sean Kelly have once again spoken of their frustrations at the lack of mental health services available locally.

Both councillors have been calling for an improvement to services in Crosslanes as well as asking the local head of mental health services to attend a meeting in the council chambers but to date that invitation has not been taken up.

According to Maeve has called the battle to try and improve services in the mental health sector ‘an uphill struggle’.

“It really feels like you are banging your head against a brick wall sometimes. The bottom line is there is a crisis in this area when it comes to mental health services and to put it simply things are not improving. 159 lives have been lost through suicide in County Louth over the last twelve years and we need action right now to help people who feel they need help with

their mental health.

We need a plan put in place by the people who are in charge of these services and we need them to come up with solutions. I have asked the head of mental health services to attend a meeting of Louth County Council to tell us what he proposes to do to improve services but he refuses to meet with all 29 councillors and can only meet two or three of us. I was told a year ago at a meeting in Ardee that new outreach services were very close to starting up in Dundalk but there has been absolutely no update of anything happening since. And please don’t

use Covid as an excuse as the pandemic has only heightened the need for these services with people really struggling during the numerous lockdowns we’ve experienced over the last year and a half. The time for talk is over and now we want to see action.

Peoples lives are at stake here and we have to treat this issue seriously,” warned Maeve.

Louth Councillor Sean Kelly who attended two ceremonies held in Dundalk to mark World Suicide Prevention Day on Friday, also expressed his frustrations at the lack of action locally to improve mental health services.

“The Market Square was a very sombre event.

It was very stark to see the shoes there symbolising those who have been lost,” said Cllr Kelly.

“It’s horrific the number of people who have been lost in this town to suicide. Something has to be done.”

Cllr Kelly added: “The state of our mental health services is absolutely atrocious. Myself and Cllr Maeve Yore laid down a motion in September 2020 calling for an in-camera meeting to try and get answers but no-one has yet to come before us.”

“I also attended an event in St Helena’s Park organised by SOSAD Dundalk. People were invited to remember their loved ones lost to suicide.

“Those in attendance were asked to paint a stone, light a candle or tie a ribbon on a tree in memory of family and friends they have passed.”

Dundalk remembers loved ones lost to suicide A newly formed support organisation for people suffering with mental health issues and addictions held a special ceremony at the Square last Friday to remember those who died by suicide.

The event which was hosted by Lets Talk Mental Health and Addiction was organised to coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day which took place on Friday.

The event was attended by local TD’s Peter Fitzpatrick and Ruairí O’Murchú as well as councillors Maeve Yore and Sean Kelly.

The event was hosted

by Cllr Declan Power who was representing Lets Talk Mental Health organisation who spoke about the powerful image of the empty shoes which had been placed in front of the courthouse to symbolise friends and family members who have

been lost to suicide.

“Today is World Suicide prevention Day and we are here to remember loved ones who have passed through suicide. We need to talk more and share any problems we may have,” he said.

Fr Noel Kehoe from the Redemptorist church in Dundalk also spoke movingly about the lives lost to suicide and urged anybody suffering to ‘try and remember the good times as well as their suffering’.

“Hopefully today will act as a moment of healing for all of

you. Only you know the experience of what it is like to lose a loved one through suicide and we pray for you today. We remember the people who walked in these shoes before us today and we think of their families who miss them everyday,” noted Fr Noel.

One of the event organisers Madeline Morgan thanked all the volunteers for helping get the Lets Talk Mental Health Shop on Clanbrassil St up and running while noting that all funds raised from the shop go straight back

into trying to make a difference to improve mental health services.

She also thanked the TD’s and councillors for attending and doing their best to try and improve services.

The family of the late Harry Taaffe who died by suicide last year were also in attendance and his brother Paul was on hand to release a dove in his memory.

There was also a World Suicide Prevention Day Memorial Event in St Helena’s Park, Dundalk organised by the local branch of SOSAD. Candles were lit at the event and stones were decorated in memory of those who were lost through suicide.

The themse for the emotional event was the importance of talking and as the sun went down the park looked beautiful as candles were placed to form the word ‘Talk’.

It will take place in the An Tain Arts Centre Dundalk on October 2nd, 2021 and will be presented by The Louth Filmmakers Society in association with Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT).

The festival consists of a carefully curated features programme with post screening Q&A’s from visiting directors, industry panel discussions, DkIT short films and a global short film competition. To pay for the festival the group have decided to hold three separate fundraisers this month starting with a table quiz in To-

ales Bar on the 16th of September. The quiz will begin at 8:30pm and will cost just €3 per person (any amount allowed on a team).

Two nights later fundraiser number two will take place in the Spirit Store with a takeover of the docks area of the pub

for a fun filled evening of music and craic. The Reggae Reggae Docks Part 2 is the sequel to the event which first took place in 2019 also in the Spirit Store.

Louth Filmmakers Society are dedicated to creating interesting and impactful short films,

short documentaries, radio plays, as well as other forms of media.

To accomplish this, they assist in funding projects within the community as well as training those who’d like to be a part of the film industry. It is their goal to act as a fully-fledged

production company, but one that works for the community instead of for individuals.

A MASSIVE fundraiser has been launched for the Family Addiction Support Network (FASN) in a bid to prevent its closure.

Founded in 2001 and based in Dundalk, FASN provides muchneeded services to families across the North East affected by addiction.

The group offers free and confidential support to family members impacted by the addiction of a loved one.

It has launched an urgent appeal for donations before the end of this month to help keep its doors open.

According to FASN, the group has not received support from the Government to provide services to families impacted by addiction.

In 2020 they helped over 250 families in communities across Louth, Meath, Cavan and Monaghan The group have said that they need to raise €20,000 before the end of this month to keep their services operating.

Anyone who would like to make a donation can do so via the FASN Gofundme page or you can make a

bank transfer through online banking.

The bank details are as follows: IBAN: IE46AIBK 93203521829125 Account Name: Family Addiction Support Network Meanwhile, FASN is organising a fundraiser with An Garda Siochana in the Louth Division that will take place in Dundalk on October 17 at 12pm.

The FASN 5K Dundalk will from part of this and 100 per cent of the monies raised will fund the service into 2022.

In addition, FASN also hopes to raise the awareness of the organisation and the assistance it provides to communities in the North East.
