This week's Dundalk Democrat front page

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

• Louth bore the brunt of Storm Bram last Tuesday, as strong winds and unusually high tides battered Dundalk, Blackrock, and the Cooley Peninsula
• A former Dundalk couple who carried out a “prolonged” three-hour attack on a grandmother, who lost an eye after she was struck several times with a hammer before being tied up in a bin bag, have had their convictions upheld by the Court of Appeal.
• Dundalk Municipal District has voted to send a request for clarification to Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and has also requested a meeting with senior government figures regarding the proposed Dundalk Bay–Carlingford Greenway, following a lengthy and sometimes tense debate at its December meeting.
