Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a Chairde and welcome to my Report.
The heatwave has well and truly started and everybody is finding their own way of dealing with it. For children, paddling pools and water sprays are just the thing for them to cool off .And would-be travellers thought better of staying home over the weekend rather that to wade into long traffic jams in pursuit of entertainment. Our National schools are closing in many places today, and we wish all concerned a happy holiday and with the lovely sunshine to start them off, how can they go wrong.
Cloghoula National School is closing for their Summer Holidays today, ending with Mass at 11.30 followed by a BBQ and other refreshments al fresco.
A record crowd attended the outdoor Mass at St. Johns Well in Mushera last Monday evening at 8. The Parish choir attended and no less than six priests concelebrated Mass. The scenery from the mountain, well was awesome, and the red sunset lit up the evening skies. It was indeed a sight to behold.

Our town is getting a welcome facelift at the moment with the renewing of new footpaths in the West End with those on the left hand side completed at work well advanced in the opposite side. Needless to say there will be a lot of clearing up to do when the task is completed and we are all asked to do our bit to keep Millstreet looking good. Already visitors to our town have remarked on how good it looks, so keep up the good work.
