Bailieborough News. March 5th 2018. Matthew J. Cullen.
/in News /by Lee McDonnellStorm Emma and ‘The Beast from the East’:
During the past week, both of the aforementioned events had an effect on the people living in the town and surrounding areas. From Tuesday of last week, biting cold temperatures were the norm and local shops and supermarkets were quickly sold out of basic foodstuffs. Snow fell on Tuesday night and continued to fall over the next few days with varying degrees of intensity. The local County Council crews were out gritting and salting the main roads around the town which helped traffic to keep moving. The worst of the snow fell on Thursday and Friday and most people heeded the warnings to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. Some shops were open for a few hours on Friday afternoon but most stayed closed along with all the local schools. By Saturday morning, Main St. was passable, mainly due to the hard work of the council crews, shop owners and employees and the help of the local farming community and machinery operators who used their machinery to clear the main roads around the town. Most businesses were open for trade and by late Saturday evening, most people were able to replenish their larders with stocks of fresh food. On Sunday, a slight thaw set in but some religious services were cancelled or postponed due to the weather—most notably the Confirmation of local schoolchildren due to be held in St. Annes and which is rescheduled for Sunday next. Most other social events were either cancelled or deferred to a later date along with most sporting activities. At the time of writing (Monday morning), all the main roads are clear into the town and the thaw has well and truly set in, but there still remains a lot of snow on outlying roads and lanes which will take some time to remove.
So, hopefully, the worst storm over the past few years has now gone and life will be able to get back to normal for all the people of Bailieborough and its hinterland.
Confirmation:
Unfortunately, due to health and safety concerns Confirmation was postponed in Bailieborough on Sunday last. Because of the ongoing adverse weather conditions, the poor and impassable state of roads in many parts of the parish and the icy conditions around the church carpark/avenues Fr. Router had no option but to make this decision.
Confirmation is rescheduled for next weekend on Sunday, March 11th, at 3pm. Bishop Leo will not be able to attend as he has a full schedule of confirmations in other parishes until the end of May. Monsignor Liam Kelly, Vicar General of Kilmore Diocese, has agreed to administer confirmation.

Nine counties are beginning to use Monday as their hurling fixtures day this year, which is a big step forward for hurling development.

Birdwatch Ireland is hosting a training session for surveying in Cavan. If you feel that it is something you might like to get involved in, please read the information and follow the link below to register.
The session is a joint CBS/I-WeBS training day. Its aim is to try and recruit some new survey participants and also to give existing surveyors a chance to come along and share experiences.
24th March (Sat): Farnham Arms Hotel, Cavan.
Both these surveys are long-term projects and very important tools for monitoring how our breeding birds and wetland sites are faring. As a certain level of identification skill is required to carry out the two surveys (and for CBS you would need to be pretty familiar with songs and calls of a good range of our common and widespread species) we suggest you have a look at these two lists below:
CBS list: (by sight & sound): Mistle Thrush, Blackcap, Redpoll, Willow Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Reed Bunting, Dunnock, Treecreeper. And by sight only: Merlin and Whinchat.
I-WeBS list: (by sight only): Wigeon, Teal, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Pochard, Knot, Dunlin, Bar-tailed Godwit, Black-tailed Godwit, Greenland White-fronted Goose.
If you could readily identify a minimum of 7 of these CBS or I-WeBS species in the field, then you should be OK. If you have trouble with them, then perhaps these sessions (and these surveys) will be a bit too advanced for you.
The Countryside Bird Survey (CBS) is carried out between 1st April and 30th June. It involves two early morning walks to count birds in a 1km square – the work is done by 9 AM!
The Irish Wetland Bird Survey (I-WeBS) is carried out from September to March. Estuaries, lakes, marshes and other wetlands across the country are counted once a month during the autumn, winter and early spring.
Each session will have the same format, starting at 10.00hrs with an entertaining slide show explaining how and why we do these surveys and there will be lots of tips on identification. After lunch (provided), we will have a short outdoor field trip to give you a chance to put theory into practice. We will be finished around 15.30hrs. The sessions are very relaxed and easy going, but also, we hope, informative. All instruction, tea, coffee, biscuits and lunch are free.
If you would like to take part in one of these training days, please register your interest as soon as possible at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Y995Z3P. We will confirm your place on the session and supply you with directions for the venue and details of what to bring etc when you sign up.
