Charity Road-Sign Missing

Road-signs for a charity truck event taking place on Sunday 31st October in the Green Glens Arena, were erected around the locality during the week. One of these signs has gone missing! It was placed at the Millstreet Junction by the Sandpit Bar on Tuesday evening and had been removed by 5pm Wednesday. We contacted the County Council and they had not removed the sign. We would appreciate if anyone with information could contact 087 2030518 or better again, if whoever has removed it, would be kind enough to return it. It is after all, a charity event for two sick little girls.

Eily’s Report 19th Oct. 2021

 Dia is Mhuire  díobh go léir a Cáirde and welcome to my weekly Report.

Sometimes it’s good for us to be held back ,restrained for a while,it lets us appreciate what a wonderful thing freedom is ,and that when we have it, to put it to good use. Now that there is an easing of restrictions in the Covid situation ,the whole world seems to be rearing to go. At the moment the weather itself is playing it’s part .We have only to open our Millstreet Website and see accounts of the outdoor events which have been happening around us. Things for young and old to enjoy ,and people there to see that it happens.  Soft balmy days ,and nights which often give us heavy rain to keep our streams and wells supplied with the mysterious fluid which we cannot do without. In former years I can remember dry periods which left the farmer concerned about his crops . Local streams and wells would run dry and cattle could be heard for miles around , lowing for water. Some districts were more affected than others ,hilly fields would turn brown and the untarred roads would become dusty. In such times  the unwelcome task of drawing water to cattle and for other farmyard uses, became nessessary. Churns which were used only for milk, doubled  as tanks, loaded on the horse cart and taken to the nearest sourse of uische. If a person was lucky enough to have help, it made the job reasonably easy, using two buckets ,with one on board taking the full buckets and the other  drawing. But for one alone ,not so easy, because when trying to reach  up and get  the bucket emptied into the tank, it was hard not to get all wet from splashes and near misses. But it had to be done and  many trips a day made for as long as the dry weather continued. Where tillage fields were affected, those who were fortunate enough to have a stream which outlived the drought, they adopted the system of  irrigation.   Using the horse and plough they opened a rut or sod all along the top of the drills ,and turned the water into it ,and at several places along the way they made openings for the water to run downhill  along the drills, and  kept the precious crops of potatoes, or turnips or cabbage etc alive and flourishing  until  the Good Lord sent rain  again.   [read more …] “Eily’s Report 19th Oct. 2021”

Sincere Sympathy to Hannelie and the O’Connor Family

On behalf of the Millstreet Website Team we wish to extend our sincere sympathy  and prayers to Hannelie, to Shane, to Alan and the members of the extended O’Connor Family on the very sad departure of Maurice to his Eternal Heavenly Reward.  R.I.P..   It was Hannelie supported by her beloved husband, Maurice who first established the Millstreet Website providing such a magnificent means  of local and global communication.   Millstreet will forever be hugely grateful for this superb initiative decades ago.  As the years progressed the Website Team grew in numbers and in confidence.  Maurice – forever the True Gentleman – always so wonderfully friendly with such a great smile, supportive, caring, welcoming, a splendid sense of humour and possessing an inspiring strong Faith.  In the world of Sport, Maurice did Trojan work in the promotion of Millstreet Athletic Club oftentimes so spontaneously giving of his time and talents in the preparation, the running and the aftermath of many a great sporting event.   Maurice was supremely supportive of Hannelie’s great enthusiasm as a very keen Cyclist.  He has very clearly enriched the lives of All.  We all feel so very privileged for having known such a True Friend whose magnificent spirit, kindness and happiness brought joy to everyone.   As an inspiring Happy Couple Millstreet is truly blessed that Hannelie and Maurice decided many years ago to establish their home in Ireland – in beautiful Dooneen West. God rest the gentle Soul of Maurice.  Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.  (S.R.)
