Bailieborough or Bailieboro (; ) is a town and civil parish in County Cavan, Ireland. As of the 2022 census, the population was 2,974, up from 1,529 as of the 1996 census. Bailieborough's proximity to the N3 national road has made it a commuter town.
==History== === Plantation === Before the Plantation of Ulster, the area covered by the town was known as Killechally, Killycolly and Killycollie (). The modern town was founded by William Bailie, a Scottish planter who was granted the lands of Tonergie (Tandragee) in East Breifne by James I, the King of England. This area was known as the Barony of Clankee, later known as Bailieburrow.
