Millstreet.ie

I first read this article on-line back in ’99. Like most things in print, I took it with a grain of salt — NOBODy could possibly be THAT selfless, THAT dedicated and THAT energetic!

But then, we had the great fortune of actually meeting Sean Radley, in June of 2000, on the occassion of bringing my Father-in-law to Millstreet so that he might see the place where his father was born and raised.

It was at that point that I realized that the article had, if anything, DOWN PLAYED Sean’s energy, enthusiasm and dedication! What it fails to adequately express is Sean’s unflinchingly boundless, almost single-minded determination to educate the world about the endless charms and merits of Millstreet.

Sean should have been an Evangelical Preacher — he’s certain made a believer out of me!

Would love to see Sean’s work.

I left Millstreet fifty years ago and Sean has consistantly kept me informed on the events and changes that have taken place during that time. I don’t know where he finds the time, but his efforts are certainly appreciated by those of us who emigrated in the late fifties.

Pat….Sincere thanks for your very kind comment. It is you who have kept such a wonderfully strong bond with your native Millstreet. Your emails with those gems of thoughts for reflection which you often share are very much appreciated. You and your good Family are superb Ambassadors for Millstreet and Ireland in the U.S.A.. We all have excellent memories of the Lehane Family in Minor Row, Millstreet. Best wishes ….Seán R.
