Michael Kelleher – a Native of Killarney Road, Millstreet on Holidays from Australia Receives Royal Millstreet Welcome
Denis Taylor (on left) was one of many local people who were delighted to meet with Killarney Road, Millstreet native – Michael Kelleher (pictured here this Wednesday evening in The Wallis Arms Hotel) who emigrated to Australia over 45 years ago. Michael, one of whose sons has starred in the worldwide television series “Home and Away” is visiting Ireland for the the first time in 12 years. Michael is of course related to the famous Hollywood actor, Brian Dennehy. As Francis Duggan alerted us to Michael’s visit in his superb poem Michael intends indeed to climb Clara mountain. He was very glad to meet Denis Reardon in Tubrid yesterday and expressed his heartfelt thanks for so many great years of “Clara News” – a copy of which was consistently sent to Austaralia by Bridget King of Church Street. We shall welcome Michael to Millstreet Museum tomorrow and later next week we shall give the more extended local tour. Michael extends his greetings to all in Australia and continues to meet so many good Friends – especially school pals – during his visit. Click on the image to enlarge. (S.R.)
