Town Lake Clean-Up:

The Irish Wildlife Trust Cavan branch would like to sincerely thank all the nature lovers who turned out on Saturday morning last for the Bailieborough Town Lake Big Clean-Up. The clean-up was in response to the multiple incidences of bird injuries and deaths occurring over the past couple of months, with the latest injury, which affected the crooked neck swan, attributed to the unfortunate ignorance of some individuals who carelessly leave behind fishing lines and hooks which animals ensnare themselves in and can suffer a prolonged and painful death.
As a result of the clean-up we have recovered hundreds of metres of fishing line and numerous barbed hooks from the lake. And we also sadly recovered 20 black refuse sacks full of rubbish from the perimeter of the lake which is also a testament to people’s ignorance to their own natural environment. Hundreds of discarded bottles and cans were collected. If only people knew that one bottle has the potential to kill hundreds of small mammals over many years, as the mammals, once they climb into a bottle, cannot get back out because of the slippery surface, and they die of starvation.
We would like to thank everyone who came out on the day, especially Vincent McCormack who volunteered his time and boat so that we could retrieve the waste from the lake. Also Ian and Elaine Gough who came from Mullagh, Liz McKenna from BirdWatch Ireland and Peter McConnell and Bertha Waller for taking the photos. If there is anything we have learned from this incident it is that we, as humans, need to apportion more effort within our lives to the welfare and respect of the natural environment. After all, without it, where would we be?

Bailieborough Celtic A.F.C.: Under 15’s complete the Double in Style:

Bailieboro Celtic 4 – 0 Kingscourt. A dry but blustery day for the Cup Final held in the M.D.L. Bailieboro got off to a strong start against the wind and took the game to Kingscourt. The first goal came after 10 mins with a cross sung in from the right wing by Ryan Lennon.
Callum Clarke got the ball under control in the box, beat his man and
finished coolly. That helped to settle the nerves. Kingscourt applied more
pressure and used the wind to their advantage, however the defence stood
strong with solid performances from Seosamh Sheerin and Jack Barry.
In the 2nd half, Bailieboro pushed on and scored two quick goals with an
excellent 20 meter strike by Scott Prendergast followed by a well worked
goal down the left wing with a low driving cross across the goals which was
turned in by Sean Obuseng. The fourth goal came with about 20 mins
remaining which was a brilliant individual goal by Cillian Traynor. He
picked up the ball on the right wing inside the opposition half beating
three players before cutting back in on his left foot to slot it past the
keeper.
Bailieboro carried on working to the end, with a Man of the Match
performance from Seanie Keoghan and a captain’s role played by Matthew
Traynor. The game was played with great sportsmanship and a good spirit by both teams. It was a great win and a well-deserved League and Cup double. The first for this team.
Congratulations to all the players, coaches and parents—it was a great way to
end the season.

Bailieborough News Thursday May 14th 2015

/in /by

Bailieborough News. May 14th 2015. Matthew J. Cullen.

Mrs. Mary Burmiston (nee Fisher): The death of Mrs Mary Burmiston (nee Fisher), Tandragee, Bailieborough occurred recently following a short illness in Cavan General Hospital.

Mary was one of thirteen children born to Adam and Annie Fisher, Killinkere, Co. Cavan. She attended school in Lisnagirl, Killinkere and this was followed by working positions both North and South of the border. From this, Mary developed into the lovely lady everyone knew and admired.

Mary married Jim Burmiston at the young age of 18 and became the devoted mother of Jimmy, David (died shortly after birth), Ann, Carol, Richie and Elizabeth. Jim died suddenly in July, 1983, leaving Mary with a young family and she took on the role of a single parent with love, enthusiasm and dedication. Mary was a very fun loving and outdoor person—anywhere there was a group of people forming, she wanted to be there for a bit of craic—as she would put it. She was a very keen dancer and loved nothing better than getting all dressed up in her finery and heading off to the ‘Ballroom of Romance Halls’ and dancing the night away with Michael, Ella and all of her many friends. She loved being involved with the local Red Cross and in particular, helping out at the Old Folks Party—although she never thought herself as one. She also became involved and performed in the plays that were produced locally.  The Charity shop was also one of her favourite places, having a laugh with Sister Mary and the Ladies.

It was also known, that if Mary had something to say—it was said—tact was not always high on her list but that was part of what made her the lovely person that she was. Most of all, Mary will be remembered for her love of children.

Mary is survived by her children: Jimmy, Ann, Carol, Richie and Elizabeth. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Robert, Trevor, Melissa, Jeff, Simon, Alma, Calvin, Matthew, Asha and Ross her eight great grandchildren, the McBrierty family, all the children in Tandragee, as well as the countless others who were lucky enough to know, love and be loved by Mary right up until the end.

The loss of Mary is especially felt by her four surviving siblings, Essie in Canningstown, Adam in Kells, Isabel in Bangor and Jimmy in Canada.

Mary’s Funeral Service took place in Bailieborough Parish Church and she was laid to rest in the adjoining new cemetery.

 

Relaghbeg Fundraising Committee:

We just wanted to say a Huge Big ‘Thank You’ to everybody that helped out over the last few days with getting the Marquee ready, making sandwiches and goodies for the walkers. All our stewards, the Red Cross who were on hand if needed, Bridie Rahill Cabs for providing the return shuttle bus for the walk, all the gang at Smyth’s Bar, Relaghbeg for providing the venue and for looking after us so well as always, ‘Say La V’ for helping us rock into the wee hours and last but by no means least, you guys for coming out and supporting us!! There is still one last event for Enable Ireland Children Services North East so plenty of time to donate to the charity if you missed out… We really appreciate all your help and support THANK YOU!!!!

Bailieborough Fianna Fáil Cumann hosts ‘Cumann na Mban’ History Lecture:

On 2nd April 1914, over 100 women gathered in Dublin to discuss the role of women in the lead-up to revolution. They became Cumann na mBan – an organisation whose role in achieving Irish independence is almost forgotten. The meeting, at Wynn’s Hotel, was presided over by Agnes O’ Farrelly.

They adopted a constitution which stated their aims were:

– To Advance the cause of Irish liberty
– To organise Irish women in the furtherance of that objective
– To assist in arming and equipping a body of Irish men for the defence of Ireland

-To form a fund for these purposes to be called the ‘Defence of Ireland Fund’.  

Bailieborough Fianna Fáil Cumann in preparation for the 1916 Celebrations are delighted to announce we are hosting an historical lecture on ‘Cumann na mBan’.  Our guest speaker for this event is Dr Mary Aluiffe, Cumann na mBan resource officer and executive member of the Women’s History Association of Ireland, UCD.  This event will be held in the Wesleyan Chapel Arts and Cultural Centre, Bailieborough on Thursday next, the 30th April at 8pm.

This event is open to everyone and your attendance would be much appreciated to this historical event.

Motor racing champion Simon McKinley (34) was a “hero and an idol” to people in the sport, his funeral ceremony was told today.

Mr McKinley’s remains were brought to the Seamus Ennis Centre in Naul village this morning for the ceremony to celebrate his life which was officiated by humanist celebrant Brian Whiteside.

His coffin was adorned with white and red roses, trophies he had won over his prestigious career and his racing helmet.

A guard of honour was provided by his friends from the world of motor racing. They had travelled from all over the country.

His widow Deirdre told mourners that Simon proposed to her in 2012 and they were married six months later.

Their son Rory arrived in 2014. “Simon relished every moment with him,” she said.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Hurling – Club News 27th April 2015

Shane Mulholland RIP

Everyone at East Cavan Gaels extend their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Shane. In his short time with us he had a profound effect on all he met and coached in his role as Hurling Development Administrator here in Cavan. Only recently he put some of our coaches through Foundation and Level 1 hurling courses while also working with ECG boys who are part of both Cavan and South Ulster U14 and U16 squads helping them all the while to become better hurlers while he also had a significant impact on the county minor squad helping them to qualify for an Ulster final.
We cannot but only imagine the impact of his passing will have on his young wife Vanessa and 8 week old daughter Aishling so we ask that you kindly keep them in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days and weeks ahead.
All local hurling activity will be suspended until further notice.
May he rest in peace.
East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade: 

On Tuesday afternoon last, the 14th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade took place in the town. On a cold, dull afternoon, the crowds thronged Main Street to watch the Parade. Before the Parade, members of the Bailieborough School of Music entertained the large crowd present from the viewing stand.  Although the Parade was smaller than other years, it proved to be an enjoyable event for young and old.  Mr. Russell Waller—MC for the event—kept the attendance amused and informed about the various participants in the Parade. Two marching bands took part in the parade—the Corduff Pipe Band and St. Mary’s Brass and Reed Band, Kingscourt. Local sporting clubs, organisations and charities were well represented. There were also Fire eaters, stilt walkers, Super Hero’s and community groups along with vintage cars, tractors, etc…  Prizewinners on the day were, Youth Achievement Award went to the East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club, the Best Overall Float went to ‘Roberto’s Chipper’ and the Best Dressed Shop Window went to ‘Black’s Butchers’. The committee would like to thank all who helped out in any way to help make this year’s parade a successful one.
