Friday, 10th August 2018 marked the historic 50th Anniversary Celebrations of Millstreet Parish Credit Union. The magnificent occasion began with the celebration of Mass by Fr. Paddy O’Byrne in St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet with the participation of many Credit Union Committee Members in the special liturgy enhanced by Millstreet Parish Choir. Dermot Kiely with Ted Kiely then unveiled a very impressive plaque at the Credit Union H.Q. in The Square. Then followed a most enjoyable evening of refreshments, speeches, a special Draw and lots of memories evoked in the Wallis Arms Hotel. We extend sincere congratulations to All who have given so generously of their time, talents and dedication over the past decades where friendliness, support and sound advice have been hallmarks of our very own Millstreet Parish Credit Union. Every success in the years ahead and long may the spirit of Nora Herlihy continue in true evidence. Here we share images from the wonderful occasion on Friday night. (And some more pictures to follow later.) Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
Does the plaque really read 1968 – 2016?? or is it the photo?
Yes, Donal – Those are the dates on the plaque. It was most likely in 2016 that Millstreet Parish Credit Union was amalgamated with many other Credit Unions. Thus Millstreet Parish Credit Union under that name dated from 1968 to 2016.
Millstreet merged with Mallow Credit Union in Aug 2016 becoming a branch of Mallow Credit Union from then on
Sincere thanks Tom for confirming the 2016 date re merger.
