🏠 Check Your Home for Radon – Free Through Your Library

From 17 Feb, Environmental Protection Agency supported radon monitors can be borrowed from Louth Libraries.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can build up in homes and pose health risks over time.

Green graphic with the headline “Green win: Wind & solar overtakes fossil fuels!” and a line chart of EU electricity generation shares from 2015 to 2025. Wind and solar (yellow) rises to 30% by 2025, crossing fossil fuels (pink) which falls to 29%. Nuclear (white) trends slightly down in the low to mid 20s, hydro (blue) stays around the low teens, and other renewables (green) stays around 5%. Source note: European Electricity Review 2025.

☀️ Solar and wind overtake fossil fuels in the EU!

💪 We know that we don’t need to continue to rely on gas from Russia or the USA.
The EU can produce its own electricity from solar, wind, water & geothermal energy.

💚 The future of energy needs to be greener & more European.

Louth County Council hope to deliver Dundalk's first cost-rental homes in 2026 The issue was raised by Green Party councillor Marianne Butler

I asked at January’s Council meeting when Dundalk would get cost-rental homes. These homes offer secure rents at least 25% below market rates.

The good news is that Louth County Council are working on schemes, with real optimism for delivery in 2026. I’ll keep pushing to make it happen.

Councillor warns that major Dundalk roadworks may not be completed for 15 years as funding cuts announced Green Party councillor Marianne Butler warned said the Xerox to Greengates project may not be "looked at for 10 to 15 years".

Funding cuts to Active Travel mean major roadworks in Dundalk, including the Xerox-to-Greengates scheme, may be delayed for 10–15 years if investment isn’t restored.

I’m calling on Government, the National Transport Authority and our local reps to reverse cuts & unlock the funding needed for this.

Louth councillor urges local authority chiefs to abandon ‘X’ over Grok controversy Louth County Council has been asked to reconsider the use of social media platform ‘X’ following the controversy over AI tool, Grok.

I raised concerns at Louth County Council about continued use of X, following serious safeguarding issues linked to its AI tool, Grok. Until this is fully reviewed, I believe we must act responsibly especially when it comes to images of children and young people.

Some Louth council tenants owe as much as €59,000 as rent arrears crisis deepens Louth social housing tenants owe up to €59,000 in rent arrears in some cases, a local councillor revealed.

Thanks to Olivia Ryan and the The Argus for covering the serious concerns about rent arrears in Louth raised in the Local Government Auditor’s report.

We should be intervening much earlier and actively directing people to MABS, so tenants get the support they need.

‘It’s a bit like being sentenced to the death chamber in America:’ Louth councillors reveal local fear of greenway CPO process There was a war of words at the December meeting of Dundalk Municipal District as councillors battled over calls for a pause on the Dundalk to Carlingford Greenway project.

Thanks to Olivia Ryan for covering the recent Dundalk Municipal District meeting where the Dundalk to Carlingford Greenway project was discussed.

I’d love to see our councillors visit one of Ireland’s more modern greenways in Tralee and speak with the people there to learn from their experiences.

Cyclists should light up to be seen, says Louth councillor The ‘Light Up Your Bike’ winter safety campaign has warned of potential fines for cyclists who are stopped without a working light on their bike.
