Paying Our Respects: If you see a hearse, could you stop, stand for a moment as it passes, perhaps take off your cap, and bow your head?
In these times where funerals are limited to only a very few close family our chance to support people during bereavement is limited. So, we wondered if we could revive an old tradition that would show people that their loss is noticed and shared by us all?
It would mean the world to families in a time of sadness.

Bailieborough News. December 14th 2020. Matthew J. Cullen.
/in News /by PetraVandals at work again. Five new Silver Birch trees [ 8ft.} approx .in height and 30 Beech hedging were stolen from the Cavan Road along the new footpath near the Forest entrance. Some still had an Urcher Garden Centre tag on them. This Tidy Town project was only completed last Monday. It is so annoying and costly for the Tidy Towns.
The Gardai have been notified. Anyone with any information or anyone who saw anything suspicious on Wednesday evening /night{ Dec. 9th } in the area ,pass it on to the Gardai. These trees would need a truck/ trailer to transport them.

Easing of Covid Restrictions: With the easing of the Covid restrictions, it was great to see people out and about getting ready for the Festive season. Businnesses that had been closed during level 5 have re-opened—at least most of them have—and there is a ‘Buzz’ around the town, that has been missing for quite a while. Let’s hope that these are the first steps to going back to what we previously knew as normal life.
