THREE 5 MONTH OLD TERRIER CROSS PUPS FREE TO LOVING HOMES. I’ve found homes for 3, but have had no luck with the remainder. There’s 1 boy and 2 girls – they’re almost completely black, small, very cute, clever and playful, are showing signs of making good hunters like their mother. I hate to let them go, but can’t afford to keep them as I have the mother and another dog already. They’re vaccinated and wormed and ready for a new home. Thanks for taking time to read this.

Millstreet Juvenile GAA A.G.M. was held on January 29th but due to the poor attendance and support of parents, the meeting had to be deferred until Wednesday February 6th at 8pm in Millstreet GAA Hall.
Please be advised that both the secretary and chairperson are stepping down from their duties within the club. Nobody was willing to take over these roles at the meeting last week. If this happens again Wednesday night, your child may not have a club to play football and hurling with. We also need parents to help out at both football and hurling trainings.
We plead with all parents and locals in the community to attend this A.G.M. The future of Millstreet Juvenile GAA depends on your support!
