This week's Dundalk Democrat front page: Infrastructure failing to cope with flooding

This week's Dundalk Democrat is in shops now, featuring: 

• Dundalk South's Cllr Robert Nash, has expressed deep concern following the severe impact of Storm Chandra which struck Louth last week and caused extensive flooding across several residential areas.
• A 25-year-old man who poured bleach and heating oil over his eight months pregnant partner, and beat her with an iron bar, has been jailed for six years at Dundalk Circuit Court.
• Louth County Council has granted planning permission for a solar farm on a site of around 167 hectares (412.6 acres) in mid-Louth, in spite of a huge number of submissions made objecting to the development.
