Millstreet Library – Events for the week 19th – 23rd March 2024
Eily’s Report – 19th March
Dia is mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
St. Patrick’s Day has come and gone and for us here in Millstreet, it was nothing short of a Showstopper. From early morning the sun shone out and kept the glow on all the events of the day. Our wonderful Pipe band played us into 11.30 Mass and as they paraded in tune all the way to the alter, you got that spine-chilling feeling of pride, even emotion. Founder member Tim O’Shea was there for photographs while stalwarts like the spritely Michael McCarthy and Brenden O’Sullivan led the group. It’s at moments like this that you weigh up the important part that things like your own pipe band play in a community and how important it is that we value them to the full. We had no less than three priests on the alter for Mass. Fr. Billy Radley, Fr. O’Shea (Kilcorney) and Fr. Sean Tucker. They were joined by Canon John at Holy Communion time. The band played the full church out after mass ended before rushing off the take part in the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Killarney and were back again to take part in ours at 5.
Open Day at Macroom Centre on Thursday 21st March

Maureen, our truly exceptional Friend has for the past eight years been such a loyal, supremely dedicated and wonderfully popular DJ on Cork Music Station with superb Shows on Friday and Sunday nights broadcast to a global audience. Many of us on the CMS Team have had the privilege of meeting with the truly cheerful, witty and caring Maureen over the years at special Music Events such as the Michael Commins Galway Concerts. We treasure the memory of these special get togethers where Maureen would so spontaneously share with splendid humour her outstanding knowledge of the Music World. Maureen has been and will always be held in the very highest esteem by so many. We shall all miss her superbly attractive style of broadcasting which brought great delight to her huge number of Loyal Listeners in Ireland and far beyond. Her heartfelt requests and her totally amazing range of the very best of Country-and-Western songs and music were impressive beyond words. We extend our prayers and sincere sympathy to all of Maureen’s Family and to her very many Friends. God rest Maureen’s gentle Soul. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis. (S.R. on behalf of the CMS Team)

Eily’s Report – 12th March
Dia is mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
The few hours of warm bright sunshine was very welcome on Monday morning after two whole days when the sky was blanked out in a heavy smoky shroud. Our Sunday morning was brought to life by the local Vintage Club who swelled the town to celebrate the 6th annual Johnnie Hickey Memorial Vintage Run. Based at the dip of the town they had adequate parking in Noel C Duggan’s Car Park by kind permission, while registration and refreshments took place at Healy’s Bridge Bar. They had time for viewing the many cars as well as engaging in friendly chat. Marshals looked very striking in their motorcycle gear as they prepared to take to the road ahead of the cars to see that all was well along the route. All sorts of vintage vehicles were welcome and draws for various prizes. These Vintage runs never fails to add some life to wherever they take place, and long may they continue.
Four weeks of Lent are already gone. And this week as was always the norm a little break was made for to celebrate the feast day of our national patron saint, St. Patrick himself. What is it about St. Patrick, that his Day is celebrated all over the world. If the truth be said other countries are more passionate about it than we are. Rivers are died green, everybody dresses up in our national colour. Those abroad love to get a little sprig of Shamrock from the old country for that day. Not all samples arrive as planned. For as long as my brother Jerry was a missionary in the East, I sent him a decent piece every year. In the early days you could buy a special little box for the job. I’d search until I’d find a very special spray, wrap it in nice damp tissue to keep it fresh and make it up lovely for him to get it on time for St. Patrick’s Day. He never failed to appreciate the gesture which made me very happy that he got it on time and I’d have visions of him marching in their parade all dolled up in Kilmeedy Shamrock. But alas ,t took many, many years for him to pick up the courage to tell me that my gift arrived every time a sodden mess . It never occurred to me that as soon as the damp airtight parcel met the scorching heat of the Orient it just got cooked (for want of a better word) and there-by hangs my tale. In hindsight I should have ironed the Shamrock dry.
