Dundalk hosted the European Council of Grandmothers last week.

Founded in 2015, the Council is composed of 14 grandmothers and elder women representing 12 European countries.

Local woman MaryAnne Gosling, Ireland’s representative on the Council and founding member of the Dundalk Women's Shed, invited her fellow grandmothers to her hometown.

While the grandmothers held private meetings and visited local sites, the highlight of the visit was a two-day public gathering on Saturday and Sunday.

Our photographer Arthur Kinahan was there to capture the special event.
