Catch line: Rare Dublin spire offcut  in Sean Radley’s Millstreet on Radio Kerry on January 25

 

Taking literally millions of photographs of all that that has happened in Millstreet over the past 53 years.   Founding and running the Millstreet Museum for 43 years.   One of the three who set up the hugely active Millstreet Community Web site (www.millstreet.ie).   These are all part of ‘Sean Radley’s Millstreet’ that will feature on the Saturday Supplement on Radio Kerry from 9 to 11am on Saturday January 25. It is already on podcast from its first broadcast in October 28 2023.

 

Described as ‘the heart and soul of Millstreet’, Radley has had a hand in every aspect of local life for more than 50 years – and guides programme presenter Frank Lewis to a variety of these.

 

90 year Eily Buckley’s positive attitude to life has her acting and looking like a 60 year old  while  telling the sad stories  of Cromwell’s armies at Kilmeedy Castle.

 

At Drishane’s 600  year old buildings historian Liam Flynn tells how the castle and estate were bought for £450 when they were valued at £8,000.

 

The Millstreet Community Website is updated several time a day by its founder and web master Hannelie O’Connor, a native of South Africa, who has lived in Millstreet for 30 years.

 

Thomas Duggan tells of the eleven all weather and three indoor horse arenas, 1,500 permanent stables   as well as a cross country trail that his family has developed in Millstreet.

 

At the Tranquility Garden in memory of Eileen O’Riordan at the Boeing Crossing on the River Blackwater Jerry Doody points to the footbridge that marks the way O’Sullivan Beare travelled from Beara to Breifine in 1603 – and Jerry sings the local anthem The Bould Thady Quill.

 

Principal Pol O Siodhchain tells the stories and experiences of 50 years of Millstreet Community School and pupils Maeve Casey on concertina and on tin whistles Evan O’Sullivan, Luke Hickey and Aoife Casey play traditional jigs.

 

Sean Radley tells the extraordinary stories in Millstreet Museum of De Valera’s 1916 military belt, offcuts from the Dublin  spike and a wind up gramophone.

 

James O’Sullivan is the caretaker of  Tubrid Holy Well where he tells of  walking sticks left behind by people who say they were cured here.

 

Twelve volunteers, on average give half a day every week between Millstreet Museum, internet radio and the Millstreet website.

 

Sean Radley’s Millstreet will be broadcast on Radio Kerry’s Saturday Supplement from 9 to 11am on Saturday January 25 2025, live on 96 to 98fm, worldwide on www.radiokerry.ie and is already on podcast from ton the same site under podcasts/Saturday Supplement/October 28 2023.   Producer/presenter Frank Lewis, location sound Siubhan Lewis & post production Colette Foley.

Millstreet’s Superbly Uplifting Success at BTYSTE 2025

While it’s a great privilege to be chosen to compete in BTYSTE 2025 it is truly a further bonus to be chosen among the winners.  We thank Pól Ó Síodhcháin for sharing the following statement and images relating to the wonderful success for Millstreet Community School this Friday evening (10th Jan. 2025) at the RDS.  Pól states:  “We are immensely proud of Saoirse, Anna & Méabh! What a fantastic achievement when you think of 2,000 entries of which just over 500 reach the RDS, to be coming back to Millstreet with 3rd Place is just brilliant. It is a tremendous end to what was a difficult week for many people locally and we are thrilled to have pnce again represented our area so well! I want to thank Millstreet Community Council for their generous support of our participation in BTYSTE over many years. To our three teachers who made the trip to Dublin with the students, Ms Lyons, Ms O’Looney & Mr Guerin, we say a huge míle buíochas. Our teachers in MCS are so committed to our students, it is a privilege to be a part of that. Thanks also to Daniel’s father for travelling to Dublin! They joined the train in Banteer on Wednesday morning. Marion Buckley, one of our wonderful Clerical Officers, ensured that Ms Lyons would make the train on Wednesday morning by giving her a bed on Tuesday night. That sums up MCS…the Irish word ‘Meitheal’ is such a perfect description of what we have in the school between all Staff, Students and Parents/Guardians. We will celebrate this in the school on Monday and I can’t wait to do so! Well done to Daniel, Kate and Evelyn on their excellent work and presentations in the RDS too. We have such a proud tradition in this competition over very many years, it was wonderful to have three projects make it through to Dublin this year. Comhghairdeachas leo go léir!

Anna, Méabh and Saoirse got 3rd place in the intermediate category award for biological & ecological sciences 🎉🥳
