McKiernan welcomes historic visit of ETB to Bailieborough
As Deputy Chairman of Cavan and Monaghan ETB, as a Board Member of
Bailieborough Community School, and as a proud Bailieborough man, I am
delighted that ETB Chair Cllr. Kathy Bennett and ETB CEO Martin
O’Brien agreed to my request to hold a historic first meeting of the
ETB in Bailieborough on Wednesday 11th November 2015.
This meeting marked the fact that the ETB is a co-patron along with
Bishop Leo O’Reilly, of Bailieborough Community School, which is
currently undergoing some €4 million of investment, partly due to the
work of the ETB. The school has a new roof, and a new car park, and
work will soon begin on a Special Needs Unit at the school.
The meeting was held in the Bailieborough Development Association
Business Centre, which hosts top quality office space for new
businesses as well as meeting spaces and a modern suite of PCs for
training purposes. I hope that by holding the meeting in the BDA
Business Centre it will encourage future co-operation and local
training opportunities for Bailieborough and its hinterland.

They will know their opponents in the Elite Round when the draw is made on December 10th.
