It is hoped a plaque honouring the Dundalk historian and playwright Dorothy Macardle will be placed on her childhood home in town.
Councillors have suggested that a plaque should be put on 5 Seatown Place where Dorothy Macardle grew up to pay tribute to her contributions to history, literature, and culture.
The local historian, writer, novelist, playwright and activist, who is most renowned for the book she penned The Irish Republic, was born in Dundalk in 1889 to Minnie Thomas Macardle, of Dundalk’s Macardle’s brewery.
Cllr Conor Keelan tabled a motion at the Dundalk Municipal District meeting last Tuesday that Louth County Council should erect a plaque at 5 Seatown Place, where Dorothy Macardle spent much of her childhood, in recognition of her contribution to Irish life and culture, and that of her family.
