Sean Radley’s Gift

I cannot say i ever see Sean Radley for  Millstreet playing hurling or gaelic football
His  gift is in making other people happy perhaps the greatest human gift of all
His thousands of images on the Millstreet Web Site viewed by Duhallow people Worldwide
That he is a living North Cork cultural icon is something of him that cannot be denied

To say the least a rare sort of public figure in his words to controversy he never gives rise
He is what is known as a people’s person in the ways of people he  is worldly wise
In his images and words  he has  made so many happy i have never heard him put anyone down
He is  indeed a role model to many and is loved by everyone in Millstreet Town

To have the gift of making others happy to say the least is a rare gift indeed
Those who make others happy are successful people and  at such a thing Sean Radley does succeed
Every community needs one who is like him such people create World harmony
Those who have the gift of making people happy are special people would you not agree

He has never been a famous sportsman or politician but he  is a person people wish to know
Sean Radley is a North Cork cultural icon and his popularity seems to grow and grow
He has the  gift of making others happy and for his  kindness he is widely known
A household name in all parts of Duhallow and he will always  be of Millstreet’s own.

  3. I really meant to comment on this a while ago, but, I was interrupted by the recent storm. Sean and his comrades have done a wonderful job in keeping those of us who left many years ago, informed of the current events in the Millstreet community. Without his input we would really have no idea how the town has changed and developed. Thank you Seanie, keep up the good work.
    God Bless!

  4. Pat – Thank you so much for your very kind words. As a team we are wonderfully uplifted in the knowledge that our regular updates mean so much to people like your good self. You are one of our most loyal visitors to the Millstreet website and we thank you for being such a superb Ambassador in the U.S.A. in promoting further website visitors to our site. Poet Francis Duggan has been more than generous in his very positive words. God willing, we shall continue to provide regular updates as we daily observe the development and the changing face of Millstreet. Kindest regards always.
