Book Launch: The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down:
Since its first production in 2010 ‘The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down’ by Padraic McIntyre has been a phenomenally popular fixture in Ireland’s theatrical calendar.
The Gallery Press had a Full House to celebrate the publication of the book which was launched by poet and publisher, Peter Fallon, with an address by Paddy McDonald, Cathaoirleach, Cavan Co Council on Thursday evening last in Bailieborough Library.
Padraic McIntyre is a native of Bailieborough, where he lives with his family. He trained as an actor at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff and has an MA in Theatre Studies from DCU.
Between 2004 and 2017, as Artistic Director of Livin’ Dred Theatre Company, he directed twenty-two productions. He has worked as an actor throughout the UK and Ireland on both stage and screen. Writing credits include The Little Dance Girl, Carnival at Glenaduff, A Holy Show, The King of Ireland’s Son, The Lost Weekend, The Hero of the Half Acre and Cuckoo Connolly’s
Curious Clock Shop.
He was recently appointed Theatre Manager at The Ramor Theatre, Virginia, County Cavan.
Thanks to all who came to support Padraic, to Paddy McDonald, Cathaoirleach, Cavan County Council, to Peter Fallon of Gallery Press and to Padraic himself, who spoke with such passion about the play, his home town, the cast, and first and foremost, his family!! Also to Phil Gilbride (Barney) and Conor Sheridan (The Horse Munley) who gave a wonderful reading from the book.
‘The Night Joe Dolan’s Car Broke Down’ now takes its place in the printed form, which will immortalize this masterpiece!

Bailieborough News. January 29th 2018. Matthew J. Cullen.
/in News /by Lee McDonnellNo Through Road:
The new Traffic Barrier on the Galbolie Road side of St. Anne’s Church is now in operation. This will leave the area around the Church safer for pedestrians and visitors as traffic ignoring the signs and using the Avenue as a short-cut had increased steadily in recent years. Some of these cars drove across the front of the Church at high speed and there were a number of incidents, where people leaving the Church were almost knocked down. Students making their way from school were also at risk from passing traffic. The barriers will be open for all Funerals, weekend and Holy Day Masses. All Church users are reminded to use the designated parking spaces only and not to park in the unmarked areas of the Avenue.
