McKiernan welcomes historic visit of ETB to Bailieborough

As Deputy Chairman of Cavan and Monaghan ETB, as a Board Member of
Bailieborough Community School, and as a proud Bailieborough man, I am
delighted that ETB Chair Cllr. Kathy Bennett and ETB CEO Martin
O’Brien agreed to my request to hold a historic first meeting of the
ETB in Bailieborough on Wednesday 11th November 2015.
This meeting marked the fact that the ETB is a co-patron along with
Bishop Leo O’Reilly, of Bailieborough Community School, which is
currently undergoing some €4 million of investment, partly due to the
work of the ETB.  The school has a new roof, and a new car park, and
work will soon begin on a Special Needs Unit at the school.

The meeting was held in the Bailieborough Development Association
Business Centre, which hosts top quality office space for new
businesses as well as meeting spaces and a modern suite of PCs for
training purposes.  I hope that by holding the meeting in the BDA
Business Centre it will encourage future co-operation and local
training opportunities for Bailieborough and its hinterland.

Congratulations

Massive Congratulations from all at Bailieboro Celtic to Leanne Kiernan (daughter of John and Ita and pupil at Bailieborough Community School) and the Republic of Ireland Women’s Under 17s who qualified for the Elite Round of the UEFA European Championships. The girls topped Group 1 with a 3-0 win over Turkey– in which Leanne scored the opening goal, a 7—0 win over Andorra and a 3—0 win over the Ukraine— a game in which Leanne also scored.  They will know their opponents in the Elite Round when the draw is made on December 10th. An all-round sports person, Leanne started playing soccer with Bailieboro Celtic, she then moved to Kingscourt Harps and now she currently plays for Shelbourne Ladies.  Leanne is also a noted runner and athlete and has played GAA for Bailieborough Shamrocks and has played for the Cavan County Under 14 side. Aged just 16, Leanne has accomplished so much already in the sporting world and all in the community wish her continued success in the years ahead! Who knows, maybe Leanne could turn out to be the ‘Messi’ of Ladies Football and have a glittering career ahead of her in the professional game!

Bailieborough News. October 29th 2015. Matthew J. Cullen.

McKiernan welcomes confirmation of new Bailieborough Garda Station


“I am delighted to receive confirmation this morning from local
Bailieborough T.D. Joe O’Reilly and Minister for Justice Frances
Fitzgerald that Bailieborough is to receive a badly needed new Garda
Station under An Garda Síochána’s new Building and Refurbishment
Programme 2016 – 2021, and also refurbishment works in the interim”
former Bailieborough Councillor and former Chairman of Cavan County
Policing Board Seán McKiernan has said.
“As the country enters recovery, and capital spending starts again, I
am delighted that this Government recognised the need for a new
Bailieborough Garda Station as a top priority for a new capital
programme” Mr. McKiernan said.
“When I was first co-opted to Cavan County Council in late 2007 the
need for a new Garda Station was one of the first motions I placed on
the Council’s agenda.  The subsequent whistle blower revelations
proved and confirmed the need for modern new facilities in a fast
growing town – the second largest in Co. Cavan in fact. It is a
campaign I have continued within my political party’s organizational
structures ever since Fine Gael were elected to Government in 2011.  Today is a good news day for the Bailieborough community” concluded former Councillor
McKiernan.

Bailieborough News. September 24th 2015. Matthew J. Cullen.

Pledge of the Metalmen’ was unveiled by Heather Humphreys. Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht in Bailieborough, Co. Cavan on Tuesday 15th September. The piece by Barry Linnane was funded by the Building Peace through the Arts Programme.

Heather Humphrey’s Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht performed the official launch. She was assisted by Lorraine McDowell, Director of Operations, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Paddy Smith, Chairman of Cavan Co. Council. Also Paddy Sheanon, Bailieborough Chair of Building Peace through the Arts, members of the Bailieborough Heritage Society,  Joe O’Reilly TD, Councillors, Paddy McDonald, Fergal Curtin and Clifford Kelly along with local historians, former Bailieborough Foundry Workers, local schoolchildren and members of the general public were present at the unveiling.

This project aimed to create a public artwork of excellence which captures the past, present and future aspirations of the people of Bailieborough. Through a consultation process as part of stage one of this project Joanne Behan, artist facilitator sought opinion from the people of Bailieborough as to what gave them a sense of pride in Bailieborough.  Many ideas were forthcoming including the rich heritage of the town, the tradition of literature and drama in the county and the writers who are associated with the town, the music and sporting achievements of the area and the inspirational landscape. The theme ‘Forging Ahead’ was finally identified and through an open process Barry Linnane, sculptor was selected to create Pledge of the Metalmen. This art work acknowledges the work of the men in the Bailieborough Foundry. It symbolises what can be achieved when people work together and the value of our industrial heritage.

Roisin McDonough of The Arts Council of Northern Ireland said:

‘The Building Peace through the Arts Programme has at its core the ability to bring communities together, through creative, arts-led engagement. As Stage two of the programme draws to a close, we are delighted to unveil a number of impressive artworks across Northern Ireland and the border counties. County Cavan is no exception and I am delighted that the people of Bailieborough, together with the sculptor Barry Linnane, have produced this fabulous piece of public art, Pledge of the Metalmen. It is our sincere hope that this wonderful artwork will change the landscape of Bailieborough and leave a positive, lasting legacy that celebrates its heritage through true community engagement.’

Barry Linnane, artist said: ‘I really wanted to create a sculpture for Bailieborough that would reflect the value of the industrial heritage of the town. For me the symbol of two men working together pouring molten iron provides a strong sense of achievement and the trust involved in working in busy industrial settings. I have worked all my life in foundries and it is great to be able to celebrate this intense and precise work that can achieve objects of permanence and beauty. Marilyn Gaffney worked as artist facilitator with me on this project and she visited the schools in Bailieborough and talked to the children about what they like about Bailieborough.  I have included a sense of this in the plaque that the men are pouring’.

Paddy Sheanon, Bailieborough Chair of BPttA who guided this project from the application stage two years ago said:  ‘We have enjoyed working with our community on this project. Many community groups participated in workshops at the Library, in the Schools, the Bailieborough School of Music, sporting, heritage and women’s interest groups all had a say. Our community has learned about public art through this process. We believe that Barry Linnane has created a sculpture for Bailieborough that is a testimony to our rich heritage. It reinforces for us what we can gain from valuing each other and working together’.
