Bailieborough News Thursday August 27th 2015.
Bailieborough News. August 27th 2015. Matthew J. Cullen.
Mr. Michael McKenna:
It was with great sadness and regret that the community learned of the death of very popular local man, Mr Michael McKenna, 13 Tandragee, Bailieborough at his residence on Monday, August 10th, following a short illness.
Born on the 19th of August 1944, Michael was originally a native of Kingscourt. In his younger days, he attended Kingscourt National School. After leaving school, Michael worked on a local farm and then worked for a local haulier doing the Milk run. In 1963, Michael commenced work in Gypsum Industries and he worked there for the next 42 years until he retired in 2005.
Michael met his future wife—Una Reilly, Killinkere—in 1967 and they married in 1971—in fact they would have celebrated their 44th Wedding Anniversary on August 11th. In the early years of their marriage, Michael and Una lived in Killinkere and they moved into Tandragee in Bailieborough in 1973. In their married life, Michael and Una had seven children and theirs was a happy and cheerful household. In his spare time, Michael was passionate about cars and he took great pride in their upkeep and appearance. He was also a noted gardener and kept his gardens in pristine condition.
Michael was a man of very deep faith and he was one of the co-ordinators of the Holy Hour Adoration in St. Annes. He partook in many pilgrimages to Lourdes, Medjugorje, Fatima, Knock and Lough Derg. He was the only male member of the local Legion of Mary and he regularly visited and prayed for those who were ill in the community and he was also a familiar face to the residents of the nearby, Fairlawns Nursing home. Michael was a genuine, gentle, family orientated and quiet man whose presence in the community will be deeply missed.
Predeceased by his daughters, Majella and Bernadette, Michael is survived by his loving wife, Una, son, Michael (Bailieborough), daughters: Mrs Siobhan Donohoe (Tunnyduff), Mrs Helena O’Grady (Bailieborough), Trina (do) and Amanda (do), sons in-law, grandchildren: Michael, Rebecca, Cian, Odhran, Aine, Dylan and Kyle, to whom deepest sympathy is extended.
Michael was predeceased by his sister, Mrs Angela Johnston (RIP) (Kingscourt) and is survived by his brothers: Sean (Kingscourt), Kevin (Belturbet) and Noel (Kingscourt), sisters: Mary (Kingscourt), Mrs Rita Clarke (Muff), Mrs Lily Shankey (Nobber), Mrs Bernie Farrelly (Ardlow, Virginia) and Mrs Barbara O’Reilly (Ardee), brothers in-law, sisters in-law, nephews, nieces, relatives and a wide circle of friends.
A very large attendance was present at the removal of Michael’s remains from his residence to St. Anne’s Chapel on Wednesday evening, August 12th and following Requiem Mass in St. Annes on Thursday morning, August 13th—at which Fr. Michael Router P.P. officiated assisted by the Bailieborough Folk Choir—his remains were laid to rest in St. Anne’s Cemetery.

Cavan and Meath Credit Unions Link Up:
Merger will bring together 17,000 members and €85m in assets, delivering enhanced services to members.
The members of Kingscourt Credit Union, Bailieborough Credit Union and St. Mary’s Moynalty Credit Union, with offices in Cavan and Meath have voted for the amalgamation of the three Credit Unions, which will be renamed Link Credit Union Limited.
The enlarged Credit Union becomes one of the 50 largest credit unions in the country, with assets of over €85m. It has a combined membership of almost 17,000 who will benefit from four office locations where they can conduct their business face to face, as well as by telephone 6 days per week, and online 24/7 each day of the year.
The newly merged Credit Unions will also continue to lead the way in the provision of loans, savings and payments services with accounts now being BIC and IBAN enabled, meaning members can now receive payments such as salaries, pensions, social welfare payments, grants, etc. through their Credit Union account. Members can also make payments electronically to bank accounts in Ireland, UK or any one of 30+ SEPA countries. Work is ongoing to provide further additional products and services in the near future.
Commenting on the merger, Seamus Newcombe, Chief Executive Officer said:
“This merger is about serving the present and future financial needs of members. The ongoing costs of delivering an infrastructure which meets increased regulatory requirements, means only those Credit Unions with larger asset bases and solid financial strength are likely to be able to provide the stability, security and range of services which consumers demand. There have been bank closures over the past number of years and this has led to more people relying on credit unions. So by increasing our scale, we in turn will have the capacity to better service those demands, with a wider suite of products and services; such as faster decisions on loans, larger loans, current accounts and other financial products”.
According to Chairman, Frank Corbally:
“All three Credit Unions recognise and appreciate the loyalty and support of their members and look forward to continuing to serve them as a larger, stronger combined entity whose key focus remains on delivering the community based personal service which is the cornerstone of the Credit Union ethos”.
The Link Credit Union merger will be the 48th successfully completed merger since the enactment of the revised regulatory requirements for credit unions in 2012.There are currently a further 121 credit unions in active discussions regarding amalgamations, according to The Credit Union Restructuring Board, which assists Credit Unions with voluntary mergers.
Stolen Items from St. Anne’s Cemetery:
It has been reported that a number of items particularly good quality ceramic pots have been stolen from plots in St. Anne’s Cemetery.
