Argent a bend between six martlets gules with the Crest: A lion passant guardant or and for Supporters: On the dexter a bear rampant ermine and on the sinister a Norman foot soldier in armour, holding in the dexter hand a spear, proper and with the motto Me do rug Cuchulainn crodha. | |||

The bend and martlets are derived from the De Furnivall family one of whom Thomas De Furnivall obtained by right of marriage with Joan De Verdon daughter of Theobald DeVerdon a succession to a large part of the land and property of Dundalk and district about the year 1319. The De Verdons were the original Anglo-Norman family to receive a grant in North County Louth in the late twelf<sup>th</sup> century, as part of the Norman conquest, probably in peaceful succession to O'Cearbhaill, the last of the Kings of Airghialla. | The bend and martlets are derived from the De Furnivall family one of whom Thomas De Furnivall obtained by right of marriage with Joan De Verdon daughter of Theobald DeVerdon a succession to a large part of the land and property of Dundalk and district about the year 1319.
