Climate Action Week in October presented us with the opportunity to undertake a number of
interlinked projects. Thank you to the 36 families that sponsored trees to increase our dispersed orchard along Siul na Manach. Well done also to the pupils in St. Peter’s N.S. who produced some fabulous artwork and thought provoking slogans for our Climate Action Poster Competition.

Louth County Council’s Louth in Bloom Awards were held in Bellingham Castle where we won
the Best Litter Management Category in the new Sli Glas an Lu competition. Huge thanks to our diligent litter patrollers without whose support we dread to think what the cleanliness rating of our community would be! Have you noticed the new signs highlighting our success in this category as well as well as the Sustainable Energy and Biodiversity categories?
Dromiskin Tidy Towns were delighted to be nominated to represent Louth in the annual Pride of Place competition. Three representatives from Dromiskin attended the 2025 awards ceremony in the Strand Hotel, Limerick, on Friday 7 November in an event hosted by Limerick County Council. Master of ceremonies was media personality Dermot Whelan with Limerick Mayor, John Moran, and Pride of a place founder, Tom Dowling, among those in attendance.
Also nominated from Louth was the Boyne Camino group and both nominees were
accompanied by members of Louth County Council - Chief Executive, David Conway, Joanna
Kelly head of services and Finbar Gethins Senior Executive Officer. Sean Kelly, Chairperson
Dundalk Municipal District also attended. Communities from all over the 32 counties were present at an impressive prize giving ceremony. Dromiskin was thrilled to be runner-up in the 1000-2000 population category, pipped by Piltown, Co Kilkenny. The Boyne Camino were also runner-up in the tourism category making it a great night’s work for the Wee county.
Many thanks to all the local groups and organisations who worked together to represent our
community on the national stage. Our appreciation too goes to Louth County Council who
provided assistance throughout the project.
