Last chance to Reunite Cavan

Time is running out to add your voice and support the 'Reunite Cavan’ campaign to reunite our county for electoral purposes. The deadline for submission to the Commission is January 10 so there is little time left to finalise the Celt’s petition.
This campaign has full cross-party political support and is also backed by Cavan County Council, the Cavan Monaghan Education and Training Board, the Irish Farmers Association, the GAA and the clergy.
Our county deserves to be united and to remain intact for electoral purposes. It is neither practical nor fair that voters from the west Cavan area are required to access largely Sligo-based politicians to represent their interests.
County boundaries, particularly for rural counties, should remain intact. The local authority too should not have to deal with two different sets of TDs and structures in conducting its business and delivering vital services and infrastructure to its people.
There is a petition that you can sign (log on to www.anglocelt.ie/reunitecavan) or fill out your hardcopy coupon on page 16 of this week's paper. If you have already filled out a coupon but not returned it, please do so immediately.
For those who live in parts of Cavan and Monaghan who are not in the Sligo-Leitrim constituency and feel that this is an issue that does not concern you, remember that our boundaries could be further eroded with more of our territory going into other constituencies to 'balance the numbers’. Already the boundary comes right up to just outside Cavan Town, at the Radisson, which part of our county could go next? Cavan Town or Kingscourt to Meath?
Use your voice now before it’s too late - it takes less than a minute to sign the petition.
