Litter in the Pollinator Park

So basically we just now sat down for a little break here in pollinator park and found trash like cigarette packs and alcohol bottles. Good people are here all the time cleaning and keeping place clean and ready for people and families to hang out, while some are just unreal.
Whoever you are leaving your rubbish around should really think about what you are doing…. Thanks

Wonderfully Impressive Preparations for Busking Festival 2025

Saturday, 21st June 2025 – the longest day of the year – marks the greatly anticipated Busking Festival in Millstreet.  Tremendous has been the preparations that this great event requires.  Sincere congratulations to the superbly dedicated, hard working Team of Volunteers.  Every success on this splendid musical event – which so reminds us all of the unforgettable excitement some 32 years ago of Eurovision Week 1993 when some 25 windows throughout Millstreet were beautifully decorated by “Visual Image” representing the 25 countries participating in the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest.  Now in 2025 we view some of the very impressive approximately ten musical window displays as well as the colourful bunting feature.  More window photos later.  Tap on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)
