🌸 A PROUD DAY FOR BLACKROCK! 🌸

As a proud Blackrock native, it was a very special moment for me this morning to unveil the Entente Florale Europe plaque in my own home village, recognising Blackrock’s fantastic achievement in receiving a Gold Award in this prestigious European competition.

It was great to be joined by members of Louth County Council and the dedicated volunteers from Blackrock Tidy Towns to mark this special occasion.

Having grown up in Blackrock, I know just how much pride people take in our beautiful village, and this recognition is a testament to the hard work, commitment and community spirit that make Blackrock such a special place.

A huge congratulations and sincere thank you to everyone involved, particularly the volunteers who give so generously of their time to keep our village looking its very best.

A proud moment for Blackrock, for Louth and for everyone who calls this wonderful village home. 👏

Safer crossing needed at Fane View, Blackrock

At this month’s meeting of Louth County Council, I raised concerns about the need for a safer crossing point at Fane View in Blackrock.

Residents have highlighted the dangers for children crossing the busy Blackrock Road in the mornings to catch their school buses, and I have called for a zebra crossing or another suitable safety measure to be considered.

Louth County Council has confirmed that the request will now be referred to a road safety engineer for examination.

This is an important safety issue for local families, and I will continue to follow it up.

🚧 ROAD REPAIRS NEEDED NEAR NEW LIDL STORE IN BLACKROCK

At the October meeting of Dundalk Municipal District, I raised concerns on behalf of residents about damage to the road near the new Lidl supermarket in Blackrock.

Residents had been informed that the section of road from Golf Links Road to the Lidl entrance would be resurfaced. However, heavy construction traffic has continued to use the road, leaving sections seriously damaged.

I called on Louth County Council to:

✅ Address the damage caused by heavy construction vehicles.

✅ Ensure the road is properly resurfaced and restored for local residents.

✅ Make sure any damage to roads serving nearby housing estates is addressed before the development contract is closed out.

The Council acknowledged my concerns and confirmed that damage caused by construction traffic should be considered as part of the planning process.

Local residents should not be left dealing with damaged roads as a result of new developments.

I will continue to follow up with Louth County Council to ensure these concerns are addressed.

🏠 SOCIAL HOUSING IN LOUTH – THE FIGURES ARE NOW AVAILABLE

Following questions I raised with Louth County Council, figures have now been provided on social housing allocations in Louth since 2020.

Of the 3,876 housing allocations recorded up to 19th September 2026:

🔹 65.8% (2,552) were recorded under Irish citizenship.

🔹 34.2% (1,324) were recorded under non-Irish citizenship categories.

These figures include housing provided by Louth County Council and approved housing bodies.

The Council has clarified that nationality does not determine priority for social housing, with waiting time and housing need among the key considerations.

My focus remains on transparency, accountability and having the correct information.

Housing is one of the biggest challenges facing our communities, and we need an open, honest and informed conversation about housing demand, population growth and how we plan for the future.

Having accurate and reliable data is fundamental to understanding the challenges, making informed decisions and ensuring our housing policies are fit for purpose.

People deserve clear answers, and I will continue asking the questions that need to be answered.
