Louth TD to Raise Questions Over Blackrock Flooding to Ensure it “Cannot Happen Again” - 10/12/2025

We were joined on The Agenda this morning by Sinn Fein TD for Louth, Ruairi Ó Murchú, who spoke to us about how he is going to raise questions over the flooding in Blackrock Village over the past 24 hours, in order to ensure that it cannot happen again. Deputy Ó Murchú also told us about a memorial event to mark 50 years since the Dundalk bombing, which happened on the 19th of December 1975.Dundalk lost Hugh Watters, who was a local tailor and a well-respected man, and Jack Rooney, a fireman and a man who worked for the council. Obviously, this was devastating for their families. A memorial event has been organised by the families. It is going to happen near the courthouse, where there is a plaque, at 6.15 p.m. on Friday, 19 December. We also heard bout the announcement this week of the targeted reforms to improve the Assessment of Need process for children and their families.
