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 arms were officially granted on October 9, 1968.
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.
