Safety Improvement Works on the Virginia Road:
Funding of €50,000 has been granted for safety improvement works on the Virginia Road, Bailieborough—which is a treacherous part of the R178 road. There are two Churches and a secondary school on this short stretch of road, which many drivers approach at high speed. Cavan County Council understood the concerns of the residents, including St. Anne’s Church, and submitted the application for road safety measures. We are delighted that this application was successful, receiving the second highest allocation of funding in the county. Thank You to Councillor Sarah O’Reilly, Cavan County Council, the Road Safety Authority, An Garda Siochana and the residents of the Virginia Road for working hard on this project.
