Bailieborough News Thursday 29th October 2015
/in News /by Liz FlemingBailieborough News. October 29th 2015. Matthew J. Cullen.
McKiernan welcomes confirmation of new Bailieborough Garda Station
“I am delighted to receive confirmation this morning from local
Bailieborough T.D. Joe O’Reilly and Minister for Justice Frances
Fitzgerald that Bailieborough is to receive a badly needed new Garda
Station under An Garda Síochána’s new Building and Refurbishment
Programme 2016 – 2021, and also refurbishment works in the interim”
former Bailieborough Councillor and former Chairman of Cavan County
Policing Board Seán McKiernan has said.
“As the country enters recovery, and capital spending starts again, I
am delighted that this Government recognised the need for a new
Bailieborough Garda Station as a top priority for a new capital
programme” Mr. McKiernan said.
“When I was first co-opted to Cavan County Council in late 2007 the
need for a new Garda Station was one of the first motions I placed on
the Council’s agenda. The subsequent whistle blower revelations
proved and confirmed the need for modern new facilities in a fast
growing town – the second largest in Co. Cavan in fact. It is a
campaign I have continued within my political party’s organizational
structures ever since Fine Gael were elected to Government in 2011. Today is a good news day for the Bailieborough community” concluded former Councillor
McKiernan.
