The Haiti earthquake occurred on Jan 12th 2010. Currently there are 170,000 confirmed dead and three million affected by this catastrophic event. As there hasn’t been a concerted effort to raise funds for food/shelter/medicine and everything else that these devastated people need, there will be a church door collection at all the masses this weekend (30th & 31st Jan), and all are encouraged to give generously as the affected people had nothing beforehand, and have even less now. From the parish newsletter last weekend:
Bishop Bill has decided that it would be good to afford parishioners of the Diocese an opportunity to respond to the current situation in Haiti. Next weekend there will be a special Church Door collection for those who wish to donate. This money will be sent to Trocaire who are working on the ground with Caritas International

Cork’s Maureen O Sullivan and Her Hamper Packers Community Christmas Appeal for the Homeless 2009
Jan 30
Margaret Crean and Maureen O Sullivan like to thank everyone for the generous supply of food stuffs and clothing donated to the above Christmas appeal 2009.
Times might be tough but the response from the people of North Cork would make you proud.
Next week ‘Ceart Agus Coir’ (an Irish & English language series that charts the history of the death penalty in Ireland) looks into the case of the death of Millstreet man Cornelius Dennehy in 1938. (Feb 4th TG4 10.15pm.). The below is a summary of the programme:
BY MICHAEL TRACEY on the Laois Nationalist
IT was a tale of murder most foul that gripped the country and centred around one Laois man.
In January 1939, James Dermot Smyth from the Rushes, Wolfhill, was executed by hanging after he was convicted of the murder of a Cork butter buyer. The victim, Cornelius Dennehy, was found dead in his car near The Swan having been shot in the head at close range.
The pair were well known to each other and Smyth had even described Dennehy as his “best friend”, so the crime became known as the “best friend murder”. The grisly incident is the subject of an episode of TG4’s Ceart agus Cóir series on the death penalty in Ireland.

The death has occurred on Thursday, January 28, 2010 of Hannah Mary FLEMING, (née Casey) of Mologhroe, Cullen, Mallow, Cork
Reposing at Tarrant’s Funeral Home, Millstreet, Co. Cork this Friday evening from 6pm to 8pm, followed by removal to the Church of the Nativity, Cullen. Funeral Mass tomorrow, Saturday, at 2pm, followed by burial in the adjoining cemetery.
Bus Eireann have announced that they are reducing the number of scheduled bus stops through Millstreet every day (Route 40 Cork-Tralee). However they will be running a shuttle bus from Macroom to Killarney via Millstreet twice in both directions every day
There will be thirteen departures a day in each direction from Cork to Tralee every day. All services will now operate on the main road via Ballyvourney only. Route 257 will provide a shuttle connection between Macroom/ Killarney and Millstreet/Rathmore. The new timetable changes come into effect from Feb 28th.
Busses passing through Millstreet will be at (Mon-Saturday only):
- towards Killarney 12:55 & 15:55 &19:40
- towards Macroom 09:40 & 14:40
Sundays
- towards Killarney 14:40 19:40
- towards Macroom 19:05
The old times through Millstreet were
- Mon – Sat to Tralee: 10:40 14:40 18:40 21:40
- Sundays to Tralee: 09:40 14:40 18:40 21:40
- Mon – Sat to Cork: 07:30 10:05 13:05 15:05 19:05
- Sundays to Cork: 10:05 13:05 15:05 19:05
This means that there are less than half the buses in the day, and that there is little chance of getting to Cork or Killarney for a day trip. There are no peak time services for students especially (Friday evening & Sunday evening). We can only hope that a private bus company picks up the pieces, or that the trains give more attractive pricing.
note: times on this page were last updated on August 19th 2010
This is from a Bus Eireann press release today (29th Jan 2010)
The new timetables for route 40 (doesn’t include Millstreet) and also for the new Macroom-Millstreet-Killarney route are available to download from the Bus Eireann website
The old #40 timetable which went through Millstreet is still available to download from the Bus Eireann website

Often see her in my younger years in my better days in life
An attractive looking woman Maura, Dathai Dowling’s wife
A good mother to her children married to a decent man
The Dowlings of Murphy’s Terrace are a well known Millstreet clan,
I did feel sad on reading that Maura has passed away
For all of us eventually a final night and day
From the Dowling family gatherings her’s will be a missed face
The mother of the family there is none to replace,
Often seen her with Dathai and their children in Millstreet church on sunday
Since then so many years in time have ticked and ticked away
The role of wife and mother she did perform well
If there is a life after death with angels she now dwell
She remains young in memory as if time had stood still
With Dathai and their children in the Town by Clara Hill.

I photographed this lovely gentleman about 20 years ago on a rainy day in a pub on a dreary day in Millstreet. Spent a few hours chatting with him as I waited to pick my sister up from Drishane. I believe his name was Owen. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

This came in as an email to millstreet.ie. Can anyone help? … and I was wondering what pub is it, as i don’t recognise that windowsill. If so, leave a comment please. (there have been a number of helpful comments already, click here to read them)

Fondest greetings dear listenes and I wish you all the very best on this cold ‘n frosty, Tuesday morning.
Time and time again Francie Duggan writes a beautiful poem on the Website, about someone who has died in his native Millstreet and this week is no exception. His fitting lines about the late Lily Guerin (Justice) is a joy for those who knew her well. Well done again Francie.

Nathan, Bob the goat and Cara and the dog, with the Paps in the background
There were some turning heads in Millstreet yesterday on seeing a hiker walking through the town. Not that hikers are unusual at all around here, but the fact that he was accompanied by a dog and goat! All in a days walking for Nathan Kingerlee, or should I say a week and a half’s walking! They are walking the Blackwater Way (168km) in aid of Kerry Mountain Rescue, and passed through Millstreet yesterday on their way to Geararoe B&B on the Macroom road. In Millstreet:
… People seem to very much take it in their stride, when they see us coming; although we did get a couple of strange looks, one couple crossed the street to avoid us, and Bob gave a little old granny a bit of a fright when he went to say hello to her!…
He is writing a blog every day of the trip, and yesterday he featured his trip to Millstreet. It’s an interesting read, with some great pictures.
Read about of their planned trip across the Blackwater Way before they started.
