Planned Renovation of Bailieborough Courthouse

On last Monday week, January 23^rd, Allen McAdam of M.C.A. Consulting gave a presentation on the proposed Renovation of Bailieborough Courthouse in the Bailieborough Business Centre. He outlined the progress of the project so far. Funding has been secured from Enterprise Ireland to conduct a Feasibility Study – which would involve enterprise only. Also secured is €100,000 from REDZ (Rural Economic Development Zone) for PHASE I Capital work and plans for further redevelopment of the Courthouse and Bridewell.  A lease is due to be signed shortly by the BDA with Cavan County Council for the Courthouse and Bridewell.

The feasibility study involves renovating the Courthouse in Bailieborough and restoring the old adjoining Bridewell Jail as a commercial, tourism and community resource and also investigating the potential to secure some funding from the Rural Development Programme (LEADER), PEACE IV.

The terms of reference of the project are: investigate the need for a centre of this nature in the greater Bailieborough Area, conduct a community needs analysis, consult with key local stakeholders, consult with any relevant statutory bodies, Assess insurance requirements and/or options, research and assess funding options, research and document needs and proposed usage patterns and recommend on-going maintenance options.

Allen then outlined a brief history of the Courthouse. It was erected in 1817, with the addition of the Bridewell Jail in 1833, for the use of the inhabitants of Co. Cavan. The jailer and his family lived on the first floor above the detention cells. The Bridewell and its history are unique. It was also used by the Courts Service and Cavan County Council until recent years and is currently in need of major refurbishment.

As part of the Community Consultation part of the project, an online survey was conducted by the B.D.A. over the past two months. 243 responses were received from all sections and ages of the local community. Over 75% of respondents were aware that funding has been secured to carry out initial works on the renovation and redevelopment of the former Courthouse and Bridewell in Bailieborough as an economic hub for the greater Bailieborough area. Over 98% of respondents wanted to see the property fully renovated and put to productive use.

The proposed schedule of works for the project is that it will be done in three phases: PHASE 1 Upstairs at front – Rentable office space/tourism information/staging posts for tours/Castle Lake – walks etc. PHASE 2 Multi-purpose community space- performance space, school of music etc. PHASE 3 Bridewell Museum and Visitor centre – Plantation town story, Bridewell and jail and people of note from Bailieborough.

The timescale for the proposed redevelopment is: Application lodged to PEACE IV in January 2017, in March 2017, EI Study Completed, in March/April 2017 – Architect appointed, December 2017 – PHASE 1 Completed, 2017/2018 – PHASE 2 and 3 – funding permitting.

For people who would like view the results of the feasibility study, it will be available to view on the Bailieborough Development Association’s facebook page and on the History page on Bailieborough.com

Leanne Kiernan – Irish Times Sportswoman of the Month for December.

Congratulations to our own Leanne Kieran on receiving the Irish Times, Sportswoman of the Month Award for December. Having had an action packed 2016, this was a fitting end to the year for this up and coming sports star.

The year ahead will be an even busier one for Leanne with Shelbourne beginning the defence of their league title in March, the Women’s National League being played as a summer season for the first time, while there is also a Champions League campaign ahead after their 2016 success.

There’ll be plenty of international duty, too, between the U-19s and seniors. There’s also the small matter of the Leaving Cert which she will do this year, Leanne hoping to do a degree in Agricultural Science. Then there’s all the commuting between Cavan and Dublin for training and matches.

Longer term, Leanne has expressed the wish to play football professionally, following the path of several of her international colleagues playing in Britain and beyond, including Noelle Murray who has just left Shelbourne to sign for Glasgow City FC.

At 17, though, there’s time enough for those opportunities and choices to come along, and if she has another year like 2016, Leanne won’t be short of them.

We have a number of initiatives to roll out over the course of the year and by years end we should hope to see a substantial improvement at all levels within the club.

Just because there is no hurling being played at the moment does not mean there isn’t work going on. A full plan for the season ahead is being finalised and should be ready near the end of the month so to all our players we say enjoy the break as 2017 will be very busy and we hope successful.

Our first groups back hurling will be our U6/8/10 firstly in Kingscourt Community Centre on Thursday January 19th at 6.45 followed by our Bailieborough group on Friday 20th in the Community School Sports Hall from 6.
