A Cavan councillor is “hopeful” that supports can be found to save Bailieborough Swimming Pool.

Aontu’s Sarah O’Reilly brought a motion to the most recent Cavan County Council meeting, warning that the facility isn’t feasible with current Covid-19 restrictions.

The pool is a not-for-profit organisation and one of only two public pools in the county, however has been unsuccessful in recent applications for funding to reopen fully.

The Irish political system is radically broken



In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.



Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.



Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
