Help is being sought to locate two missing terrier dogs in Dundalk.

The dogs escaped from a car in the Boyd’s car park across form the bus station on the Long Walk between 6.45pm and 8pm on Tuesday night.

The dogs are from Ravensdale so may try to make their way back there.

As part of a nationwide campaign Louth Young Fine Gael is looking for the introduction of fairer prices for second level students aged between 16-18 on national transport networks both nationally and those that use public transport networks in County Louth.

Fair Fares is the first initiative of the current Young Fine Gael National Executive and the first awareness campaign to be launched by Louth Young Fine Gael.

Last Friday Chairman of LYFG Ciaran Callan, Vice Chairman Andreu D’Arcy, Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick TD, Cllr Martin Murnaghan and members of second level schools St Vincent’s, O Fiaich College and the Dundalk Grammar School demonstrated the Fair Fares campaign at the local bus and rail network stations in Dundalk.

The reception from speaking to members of the public was reported to be very good and it was well received by many second level students who spoke to members of LYFG at the launch.

Speaking on the issue LYFG Chairman Ciaran Callan stated that all schools in County Louth had received information in relation to the campaign and any school that wishes to speak to him on the matter could contact him.

He also mentioned that Oireachtas members and MEP Mairead McGuinness and MEP Jim Higgins have also been made aware of the issue and asked for their support in relation to this matter. He wanted to thank Deputy Peter Fitzpatrick for taking his time to speak to members of the public and aiding the campaign in Dundalk by attending the event. He also wanted to thank fellow LYFG and current local election candidate Martin Murnaghan for attending the event also.

Ciaran said: “The Fair Fares campaign will continue to be made aware of in County Louth and hopefully this will see in the future a wholesale change in the manner pricing structures are managed on national transport networks.”
