Truly Spectacular Rás Mumhan 2024 Superbly Filmed

Stage 3 of the truly spectacular Rás Mumhan 2024 was superbly hosted by the Sliabh Luachra Cycling Club in the Millstreet area on Easter Sunday (31st March 2024).   We thank Mark Murphy together with Siobhán and Craig for very kindly sharing Hollywood standard video coverage of the exciting event.   We were blessed to meet with all three splendid people again this year as they filmed the highly prestigious Cycle Event outside St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet.  We also thank Michelle of Sliabh Luachra Cycling Club for alerting us to the magnificent Tik Tok film footage.  Look out for some local faces in the outstanding feature!  (S.R.)
