Louth County Council have presented long service awards to 50 staff members who between them have clocked up an incredible 1,250 years of service!
The event, which took place in The Gateway Hotel in Dundalk, was also an induction for new employees, staff who have joined the local authority in the last 18 months.
Louth County Council are one of the largest employers in Louth, with almost 800 staff working in Dundalk, Drogheda, Ardee and across the county.
Chief Executive Joan Martin presented the Long Service awards to employees who are working in a range of departments within the local authority, including Social and Community Development, Operations and Local Service, Fire Service, Building Control and Housing.
The Chief Executive was joined by Louth County Council’s Senior Management Team, Joe McGuinness, Bernie Woods, Ger Murphy, David Jones and Eamonn Wolfe in congratulating all those who were awarded for 25 years’ service.
She acknowledged the valuable knowledge, abilities and experience long service staff bring to Louth County Council, and welcomed those who have recently joined.
“Over the last 18 months we have welcomed over 100 staff to Louth County Council. This event was about bringing these new joiners together and allowing them to meet each other, and the Council’s Senior Management Team, and share their experience in the organisation to date and to highlight to them the full range of services that we deliver.
“It was fitting on days like this to recognise and thank long-standing members of staff who have shown dedication and commitment to Louth County Council in reaching 25 years service with us.
“Louth County Council recognises the importance of our employees as being the Council’s greatest asset and it was a wonderful morning to come together and celebrate.”
