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 🎉🥳

Looking for a Place to Rent

I am Anastasia, a working Ukrainian woman, looking for a place to rent in Millstreet for myself and my son.

I work at Beauty Lab Millstreet and many people know me, and I know your nails 😁.

Of course, the best option for me is Millstreet or the nearest towns. Since my son studies in Millstreet and I work here. But I understand that it is not easy!

Therefore, I will be glad to any offers.

I will provide all the necessary information about myself if necessary. I also speak English, so I can communicate easily.

Wonderful Millstreet Representation at BTYSTE 2025

We thank Millstreet Community School Science Teacher, Eileen Lyons for very kindly reporting from this year’s prestigious BTYSTE in Dublin’s RDS and for sharing a superb selection of images from the highly regarded annual event.   Normally, I have attended over past years on the Thursday of the Exhibition recording a radio feature but of course have been prevented from doing so this year still being snowbound!  Here we share Eileen’s splendid Report and image selection which also includes a picture of Photographer supreme, Mark Condren, three time Photo Journalist of the Year.  Tap on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)

Eileen says:   “We travelled by train yesterday (7th Jan. 2025) from Millstreet on the 8. 15am service to Heuston. We’ve three groups at this year’s BT Young Scientist competition which is the 61th BT young scientist competition and the 25th year BT are sponsors. The groups are as follows:   Kate Lynch and Evelyn Smyth can be seen at stand 1508 with their project “A statistical analysis of how frequent ligament injuries have become in recent years in males v females”;   Anna Buckley, Meabh Casey and Saoirse Kiely can be found at stand number 5518 with their project “An assessment of the reliability of weather proverbs in a time of climate change” and Daniel Bourke at stand 2114 with his project on “Putting the buzz into Millstreet: building on local initiatives to raise awareness of pollinator conservation in my town”.

Every success to the wonderfully dedicated Students from MCS. [read more …] “Wonderful Millstreet Representation at BTYSTE 2025”

Treasured Memories on This Day

On this day, 8th January 2025, Elvis Presley would have been 90 year old!

Pictured in 1948 and born on 8th Jan. 1935 he was destined to become a household name within a few short years. It is, of course, Elvis who would have been 90 today!

Hi all,

I am local to the area and just wanted to put up a post to let people know of the Veterinary Physio services that I offer for both dogs and horses. These sessions consist of a full assessment of your animal to identify any issues as well as taking into consideration any concerns and/or injuries that your pet may have. Treatment will consist of therapeutic exercises, manual techniques and everything in between.

Why choose Physiotherapy for your dog or horse?

💜 Expertise: I hold a Masters degree in veterinary Physiotherapy, providing experience, knowledge and a passion for animal wellness.
💜 Compassion: I treat every pet like family, providing gentle care and unwavering support for both animal and owner
💜 Results: Physio has been used in human medicine for decades, with amazing results so why not give your pet the same experience!

What does a veterinary physiotherapist do?

🐾 Provide comprehensive assessments of your pet to assess the best treatment plan
🐾 Create a customised treatment plan for both during sessions and at home, for optimal results.
🐾 Offer a collaborative approach with veterinarians for the best integrated care
🐾 Carry out a variety of therapeutic exercises and manual techniques
🐾 Maintain and build on an animals level of health/fitness

In Loving Memory of Noreen Kelleher
Gneeves, Millstreet/Knocknagree

Who passed away on 7th January 2023

Two years have passed since that sad day,
When the one we loved was called away.
God took you home, it was His will,
Yet in our hearts, you live on still.

A heart of gold, so kind and true,
Respected and loved by all who knew.
Always helpful, always kind,
Leaving cherished memories behind.

Deep in our hearts, you’ll always stay,
Loved and remembered every day.

Lovingly remembered and sadly missed always
