Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a chairde and welcome to my report.
Last Friday was National Culture Day and here in Millstreet it received a reaction from almost every section of our community in some shape and form, and to cap it all there was a grand farewell ball held at the Wallis Arms Hotel in honour of our visitors from our Twin Town in Brittany Pommerit-Le-Vicompte. Well done to all those who put in the effort and gave us a wonderful night to remember.
And now we have some uplifting news coming on stream, not least among them the Air Ambulance Service to be centered at Rathcoole Airfield. And is due to be up and running within weeks rather than ‘at sometime in the future’.
There are plans to install a bowls rink at the GAA Hall and Kickboxing is starting at the same venue and we even have a Dog Walking Service for a mere €5 a walk, ready to take your call. Details are on the website.
The Community Council are holding an extra meeting tonight at the Wallis Arms to further the plans for the Bowls Rink. Starts at 8.30 and all interested people please attend.
