This week's Dundalk Democrat front page: Thousands of children left on dental waiting lists in the county

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

• New plans are underway for a mixed-use development in Ardee, that if given the go ahead would see the development of a new hotel, apartments and retail units in the mid-Louth town.
• A part-time taxi driver who 'rear-ended' a cyclist on a roundabout in Dundalk, has been fined €1,000 at Dundalk Circuit Court.
• Louth County Council has announced its intention to temporarily close a number of roads across the county between 12th August 2025 and 11th August 2026.
