Bailieborough Heritage Society: Following the huge success of our ‘Promenade Theatre Event’ performed for Heritage Week we, the Bailieborough Heritage Society wish to express our gratitude to many people.
Firstly, to Paul Marron, our superb director whose time and patience were immeasurable. To Tommy and Christopher Reilly along with their donkey who added a measure of authenticity as to how famine burials took place. To Tommy Mc Cluskey for a fitting finale to the performance.
Thank you also to Rev. Horner for allowing us use the Church Hall for refreshments and to Kevin Gorman for capturing the essence of the famine stories.
Of course without funding from Cavan Arts and Heritage Offices this event could not have taken place. We do appreciate your help and support.
To everyone who turned out on the day we are truly grateful. Your attendance and wonderful reviews made it all worthwhile.
