Sean Radley’s Night

A man who deserves to be in the limelight
On February the nineteenth at Noel C Duggan’s Green Glens Arena ’twill be Sean Radley’s night
A likeable character in every way
We do need more like him is all one can say

A credit to Duhallow and to the Town of Millstreet
A nicer person than him one could not wish to meet
That he was born, raised and lives in Millstreet to us a sense of pride
Beyond Duhallow’s borders he is known far and wide

One i do recall from Millstreet long ago
Sean Radley the man who does not have a foe
He is known all over the World from Melbourne to Rome
He welcomes visitors to Millstreet and makes them feel at home

For his acts of kindness he is quite well known
One can say of him in a class of his own
His late mum and dad in him raised a good son
Sean Radley would never offend anyone.

A beloved character of Millstreet’s present and past
The tickets for the celebration in his honour have been selling fast
One well worthy of his great moment in the limelight
All roads will lead to Millstreet for Sean Radley’s night.

  1. Now this is a great guy..I love his book ‘Picture Millstreet’ I purchased it the last time I was in Millstreet, I hope Seán gets out a vol 11.about Millstreet and Ballydaly were my family are from

  2. Your poetic tribute, Francis, is utterly uplifting and wonderfully encouraging allowing me almost to forget my many, many shortcomings. Heartfelt thanks for your deeply appreciated kind thoughts and such creatively expressed words. And to Barry … The thought of a further book – a photographic profile of Millstreet from 1980 onwards – may well be a project for my retirement later on … if the Good Lord allows me the health and the opportunity. Thank you both for such very kind sentiments.
