Ballyjamesduff
Ballyjamesduff (Irish: Baile Shéamais Dhuibh) is a town in County Cavan, Ireland. A former market town, it was the winner of the 1966 and 1967 Irish Tidy Towns Competition.
The first mention of Ballyjamesduff is found in The Registry of Deeds, Kings Inns, Henrietta Street, Dublin, Deed No.12-294-5122, drawn up on 12 May 1714.
In A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, first published by Samuel Lewis in 1837, its entry reads:
The garrison at Ballyjamesduff barracks was attacked with rifle fire and grenades in July 1922.[citation needed] There were no casualties.
The population was 2,917 at the 2022 census. At that census, Ballyjamesduff had a similar population to the County Cavan towns of Bailieborough, Virginia and Kingscourt: each with about 3,000 people. The town's population is diverse, with about 35% born outside of Ireland.
The town is located on the R194 and R196 regional roads. It is 17 kilometres (11 mi) south-east of Cavan town.
Bus Éireann route 187 provides daily services to Oldcastle, Mountnugent, Virginia, Crossakiel and Kells. Local Link route 186 was introduced in October 2024 and provides several daily services to Cavan, Crosskeys, Virginia, Mullagh, Moynalty, Kells and Gibbstown.
The town is referenced in the Percy French song "Come Back, Paddy Reilly, to Ballyjamesduff", about a man from the area who had been a chauffeur for French but subsequently emigrated.
