Bailieborough News. November 23rd 2020. Matthew J. Cullen.
The Joy Returns: Well done to Mickey Graham, all the Cavan players, the mentors, backroom staff, sponsors and anyone else who had a contribution to make to the glorious sight of a Cavan captain lifting the Anglo Celt Cup and bringing the trophy back to it’s spiritual home. In these very unusual times, this success has given the county a hell of a ‘lift’ and for the next couple of weeks—at least—the county will be buzzing with a feel-good feeling and people will be happier than they have been for quite a while. So well done to all the people involved, you have done your county proud and the county can now look forward to the semi-final against Dublin on Saturday, December 5th at 5.30pm.

Killann Parish: Masses: No public Masses for the time being due to Covid restrictions. Masses will be said at usual Bailieborough times and may be viewed on our webcam or heard on our radio system at 107.8FM. At Level 5 of the Covid plan, weddings and funerals may take place, but numbers will be restricted. This will be the case for the foreseeable future.
Baptisms: No Baptisms will take place, except in the cases of emergency while we remain in Level 5. When we return to Level 3, Baptisms may take place but only the parents, child and godparents may attend. As people know, the issue is not the gatherings in church, but the gathering that may take place in the home afterwards.
Well Done: Congratulations to Bailieborough Shamrocks player Rebecca Brady who was part of the Cavan Camogie squad who are through to the All-Ireland Premier Junior Final after an impressive 2-16 to 1-6 victory over Roscommon in Athleague on Saturday afternoon last.

Paying Our Respects: If you see a hearse, could you stop, stand for a moment as it passes, perhaps take off your cap, and bow your head?
In these times where funerals are limited to only a very few close family our chance to support people during bereavement is limited. So, we wondered if we could revive an old tradition that would show people that their loss is noticed and shared by us all?
It would mean the world to families in a time of sadness.
Bailieborough Library: The current Level 5 lockdown unfortunately means that the Libraries in Cavan are closed for the next week, at least. Thanks to the Borrow Box app, that doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on good audio and E-books.
Here is how it works:
• Access the Borrow Box app via the Online Services tab on the Cavan Libraries Website: http://www.cavanlibrary.ie/Default.aspx?StructureID_str=126
• Scroll down and select Borrow Box (eBooks and eAudio Books) and click on ‘Access Borrow Box’.
• When prompted enter your library card number (the 14 digit number on the back of your card) and your 4 digit pin.
• Use the search function on Borrow Box to make your selection or request a title.
• Your book will appear on the device with which you select it and remain there for three weeks, after which it will automatically return to Borrow Box.
If you have trouble accessing Borrow Box or don’t know your pin, feel free to call your local branch or to contact us via our Facebook pages. Our doors may be closed but we are ready and happy to help you in any way we can.
