Louth County Council has teamed up with a number of well-known figures from the county to encourage young people in Louth to continue to play their part in the fight against COVID-19, by following the public health guidelines.
The #LouthTogether social media campaign features PetrolRose blogger, Katherine Beirne, Drogheda based GP, Dr Amy Morgan, and Student Union President of Dundalk Institute of Technology, Taidgh Kavanagh. It was launched last week with a video message from Katherine Beirne.
The video campaign is aimed at the 18-to-30-year-old cohort in Louth, and encourages them to help to suppress COVID-19 in Louth by following the basic public health guidelines: washing their hands; keeping social distance, and wearing a face covering where required and when social distancing isn’t possible.

Dundalk Institute of Technology have launched a new online Student Support Hub, part of the Gateway to Success project, which aims to make student support more flexible and accessible.
The Hub has been developed to meet the needs of DkIT students, after a needs analysis was conducted to identify student needs and identify how to extend supports.
The Hub is a one-stop shop for advice and support on all aspects of college life including wellbeing and health, academic and learning supports, disability, careers and placements. It will provide fresh and engaging content and interactive features such as videos and online booking. Given the current restrictions being imposed by the Covid pandemic it is even more important than ever that support is easily accessible and the Hub provides this by being available anytime from anywhere, across multiple devices.
