Speaking after his election, Cllr Nash said: “It is an honour and a privilege to be elected Cathaoirleach of Dundalk Municipal District.

“To follow in the footsteps of so many wonderful councillors who have filled this position down through the years is a humbling experience, and, on behalf of the people of Dundalk and the surrounding area, I look forward to working with my colleagues over the next 12 months.
