8th April 2017.
Omeath (population 750) in County Louth is about an hours drive from my home. This was a day out for my wife and self in one car and my older son’s family (his wife and three children) in a second car.
We are frequent visitors. Omeath lies on the southern shore of Carlingford Lough and across the “border” from Newry in County Down, it is the first village in the Republic of Ireland.
In the 1960s and 1970s it thrived on its bars being open on Sundays and therefore had many northern visitors by car, coach and even by boat (from Warrenpoint on the northern shore of Carlingford Lough).
My family.
On the edge of the village is a shrine to St Jude and a walkway depictng the Stations of the Cross.
