Seanie, sincere congratulations. You are most deservedly amongst the finest of broadcasters and you are, no doubt, Millstreet’s legend!! Well done.

It is indeed a real honour to have been mentioned as a representative of all those who involve themselves in such a dedicated voluntary manner in local broadcasting. And sincere congratulations to your good self, Marie, on so superbly coordinating the exquisite audio gem – “Together” with Millstreet Community Singers – which has been so enjoyed by countless people worldwide.

Pat, Michael & Pam, Russell, Poet Francis and Derry – Sincere and heartfelt thanks for such very kind words. Greatly appreciated. I would not wish to feel that I have been involved in local broadcasting to any greater degree than so many others who have contributed so dedicatedly on a voluntary basis over the years. It’s most encouraging that The Irish Broadcasting Hall of Fame recognises the role of such people and I feel so privileged to have been mentioned as a representative of such local Broadcasters.
Sean, just read the news of your wonderful & well deserved award.
The people of Millstreet & surrounding areas have known for many years that you are a National Treasure and it is great to see you get the national recognition that you truly deserve.
Mike & Pam Thornton
congratulations Sean, well done
Best wishes from the Murphy family in Australia & New Zealand
Sean Radley of Millstreet is in the Irish Broadcasting Hall Of Fame
Such a humble man for one of a great name
For at least four decades the Voice of Millstreet
Yet none could ever accuse him of conceit
Though one very famous beyond Millstreet Town
Sean Radley never gets carried away with his renown
One who has done so much for his Hometown of Millstreet
Yet as amiable a person as one could wish for to meet
So nice to see him recognized for his talents on such a way
He is one of others who never has unkind things to say
In his words he never puts down anyone
His late mother and father in him raised a good son
That he has received such an award does not come as a surprise
Since for their talents others in a public way he does recognize
And though beyond the Town in view of Clara he is Worldwide known
Sean Radley will always be of Millstreet’s own
Those who are kind to others good things in return do receive
On such a life philosophy one has to believe
Sean Radley to his higher self ever true
And this latest award is only his due.
