Congratulations and well done to local councillor, Niamh Smyth T.D, who on Sunday last was elected to Dail Eireann to represent the Cavan/Monaghan constituency, on her first attempt.

Niamh is the first ever female TD from Cavan to be elected to the Dail and all wish her well in her endeavours.

East Cavan Gaels GAA Club – Hurling News 22nd February 2016
Gerry Barry RIP;
It is with great sadness we learn of the passing of Gerry Barry, President Bailieborough Shamrocks GAA, uncle to Anthony and the Barry family Bailieborough. Gerry has been a long-time supporter of both Bailieborough Shamrocks and more recently East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club taking great joy in watching the Barry clan excel on the field in both hurling, football and Camogie.
Always available to help and support both clubs in whatever capacity he could he will be sadly missed by both clubs.
