Campaign launched to highlight 'essential work' of Louth County Council

Louth County Council have launched a campaign in an effort to highlight “ essential work that happens every day to help make the county a better place to live, work and play”.

Taking place on Friday, 26 June, Your Council Day is a national campaign coordinated by the Local Government Management Agency (LGMA). It gives councils a shared opportunity to show what they do, build public understanding of local services, and recognise the people delivering those services.

For Your Council Day 2026, Louth County Council has created a video series that focuses on the staff who deliver services across the county each day. The series includes both frontline and behind-the-scenes roles, such as the Caretaker of the Town Hall in Dundalk, the Customer Services Manager in the Civic Offices in Drogheda, a Library Service Assistant in Dunleer Library, a Foreman with the Council’s Parks team, and the Council’s PEACEPLUS Programme Manager.

Cathaoirleach of Louth County Council, Cllr. Dolores Minogue, said:

“Louth County Council is an organisation of people working for people. Council staff deliver services every day that support communities, businesses and families across the county. This campaign highlights the people behind that work and the difference they make.”

Chief Executive of Louth County Council, David Conway, added:

“Every member of staff in Louth County Council plays a role in delivering services and improving quality of life across the county. Whether you are looking for information, support for your community, or services for your business, the Council is here to help. This campaign shows the range of work we do and how it helps to build a better Louth for everyone.”

Follow the campaign on Louth County Council’s social media channels where a new video will premiere each day this week, and join the conversation using the hashtags #YourCouncilDay and #DoLáSaChomhairle.
