We were delighted to welcome representatives from Omeath Tidy Towns to Dromiskin. The rain stayed away and we toured the village taking in Ginnety’s Pond, Siul na Manach, the Heritage Park, the village green, Viking Boat, Credit Union Garden and the Round Tower and Monastic site. Ideas were shared and projects discussed and we look forward to a return visit to the beautiful village of Omeath where extensive work is underway at present including the greenway extension and the construction of the Narrow Water bridge.

To celebrate National Tree week Dromiskin Tidy Towns planted 21 lime trees around the green at the centre of the village. This expensive project was made possible by a grant from Louth County Council supplemented by generous sponsorship from local businesses and individuals. These include Ardee Credit Union, Charles McCann Charitable Foundation, PEMA Ltd., Dromiskin Pharmacy, Mc Geough’s Funeral Directors, Kevin Halpenny and family and LouthCounty Council. Each tree has a sponsorship plaque acknowledging the support.
Many thanks to landscape architect, Kevin Halpenny, for his advice in this project. Lime trees
are a native species and, as well as being pleasing to the eye, they are pollinator hubs, provide nesting and shelter for birds and are resistant to urban pollution.
Dromiskin Tidy Towns was delighted to welcome the North East Vintage Car Club to the village on 22 March 2026. There was an amazing array of all sorts of cars ranging from the 1930’s up to more modern times. The rain held off as the large group were told of the history of the church site before exploring Ginnety’s Pond Nature Park, walking the Siul na Manach Greenway and then stopping at the Heritage Park. Here they heard of Nicholas Callan’s great invention of the induction coil and indeed as a co-incidence some of Fr. Callan’s relatives were part of the group.
We were delighted when the club made a very kind donation to Dromiskin Tidy Towns - thank
you!!
