Our next meeting in Millstreet is on Sunday 11th April at 7.00 p. m. in the Canon O’Donovan Centre on Clara Road. You would be most welcome to join us for an informal time of worship, prayer and Bible study.
Before that, over the Easter weekend, we are greatly looking forward to the visit of Glengormley Methodist Youth Choir to the area. The choir are based in a large Methodist Church on the outskirts of Belfast and has been in existence since 1978. During this time there has been a constant flow of new members so that it remains a youth choir even today! Rev. Laurence Graham, the Methodist minister in Killarney, spent five years in this choir when he was a youth a long time ago!! On the evening of Easter Sunday at 7.30 p. m. the choir will perform a presentation of the Easter story in music and drama which they have produced. This should be a very enjoyable and inspiring evening and is to be held in St. Mary’s Church of Ireland Church in Killarney (kindly granted). Admission is free although there will be a voluntary offering to help cover expenses. Why not have a trip to Killarney on Easter Sunday evening.
For further information on any of the above please contact Rev. Laurence Graham at 064 6631613 or 
Happy Easter to Everyone.

Good morning, Patricia and greetings, dear Listeners, from Millstreet in Co. Cork. In this our 1,006th Regional Report we hear about Easter preparations, upcoming “Round the Fireside” features, LTV2 updates ….. and there’s more – much more!
Our good Friend, Jerry Lehane of the Millstreet National Monument Committee, reminds us that the traditional Easter parade led by Millstreet Pipe Band will proceed from West End after 11.30 a.m. Mass at St. Patrick’s Church onwards to The Bridge and Main Street arriving at our National Monument in the Square. This highly significant Celtic Cross memorial of course was unveiled by Austin Stack in 1927 and has undergone a number of maintenance works over the years. The most recent restoration work has borne very impressive results. Remembering the late Conchubhar Ó hÉalaithe - his daughter, Nóirín, will read the 1916 Proclamation, prayers will be recited, the wreath laid and an address delivered by a significant speaker.
YORK — “God and His mother be with you all my friends.”
So Eily Buckley conveys her greetings, in Irish Gaelic, to her listeners during her weekly radio report from Millstreet Town, County Cork, Ireland.
Eily has been in Nebraska since St. Patrick’s Day. She will be in York County a short while longer, before heading to Lincoln next week to celebrate her cousin’s Diamond Jubilee in the priesthood. Father Paddy O’Byrne, now retired from the Diocese of Lincoln, is the link between Eily and her rural Bradshaw hosts, Elizabeth and Terry King, and Toni and Kent Allen.
When the Kings and Allens wanted to travel to Ireland last year, Fr. O’Byrne pointed them to Eily’s bed and breakfast in Millstreet, a town of about 1,400 people in northwest County Cork. About another 3,000 live in the surrounding countryside.
The Nebraskans soon counted Eily among their friends, and welcomed her when she flew to Nebraska with Fr. O’Byrne.

… Tuesday was one hell of a day for Minister Batt O’Keeffe. First, he got promoted in the Cabinet reshuffle. Then he was buttonholed by the irate wife of a snubbed back-bencher. And finally, he attended a dinner organised by the class of 1963 from St Brendan’s College, Killarney.
Some people might remember 1963 as the year JFK was assassinated. But in Batt’s eyes, 1963 will forever be remembered as the year St Brendan’s lost the All-Ireland schools’ final by a point to St Mel’s of Longford.
Despite being the only Corkman on the team, Batt was the captain, displaying early leadership skills.
“I’m in the diocese of Kerry, but from the village of Cullen, which is near Millstreet on the Cork border,” he explains.
“I tried to twin Cullen with Tokyo when I was in Japan last week.”
Tuesday’s knees-up was arranged long ago and it was pure coincidence that it fell on the night of Batt’s promotion. His classmates and team-mates …
this is an extract from an article in todays Irish Times
A comment on millstreet.ie this morning questioned the value of putting what was in effect advertising for small local business on the front page of the site like all other new articles on the site. Now maybe Seamus had a point, and I agree that they should not overrun the site, but I feel that it’s more important to keep our local businesses going by giving the support we can.
By pure coincidence there was an interview on the Mooney Show (RTE Radio 1) with David McWilliams, on how towns all across Ireland are dying, and on how locals are fighting back and saying “enough of this, how do we attract the locals to shop in town”.
They describe a very interesting thing of how a town dies. A business closes …. maybe a second one … then ‘to let’ signs … then ‘for sale’ signs … buildings don’t get let out and are not maintained … and prospective buyers say I don’t like the look of that, and choose to move somewhere else … and then because nobody does nothing, the town becomes a ghost time.
It’s a very interesting interview, and reminiscent of the efforts of the Millstreet Development Group before the Christmas period. Honestly we don’t want our towns to end up like the ghost towns in Middle America with the big shopping mall outside their towns.
Listen to the interview which is on the RTE website (starts at 27:50)

Good morning, Patricia and greetings, dear Listeners, from Millstreet in Co. Cork, Ireland mentioned for the benefit of our many online Listeners worldwide on the c103 website.

But we begin on a sad note as we remember the late Mary O’Connor of “Duneden”, Boherbue who along with the late Tadhg O’Driscoll established the very popular Millstreet Gramophone Circle some years ago. Mary who went to her Eternal Reward on Sunday, was such a true Lady of the highest calibre who shared many musical gems with numerous Gramophone Circles from her fascinating collection of treasured recordings. For almost thirty years Mary had dedicatedly devoted her great musical talents and sincere energy to the Boherbue Church Choir. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.
