Acknowledgement and First Anniversary
On the occasion of Tim’s first anniversary, his family would like to acknowledge the many gestures of kindness and sympathy shown to us throughout Tim’s illness and funeral.
We are deeply indebted to Dr. Christine McCarthy, Dr. Liam Norton and the staff at Millstreet Medical Centre, for the remarkable kindness and care shown to Tim.
A sincere thank you to Mulcahy’s Pharmacy, and the staff at Bons Secures Hospital.
A sincere word of thanks to Canon John Fitzgerald PP, Millstreet, who concelebrated Tim’s mass. Thanks to Sharon for her great assistance and Julie. Thanks to Jerry Doody and the organist for their great music.
To Davy, Declan, Cora at Tarrant’s Undertakers, we are most grateful for their professionalism and personal touch.
A special thanks to our wonderful neighbours, relatives, and friends who supported us at this difficult time and to all who travelled long distances to be with us to share in our grief. To all who brought food to our home and helped with the catering, sent cards, letters, floral tributes and online condolences.

Wonderful Eily Ready to Officially Turn On Christmas Lights Sunday at 6pm
Yes indeed – it’s our very own Eily Buckley who will be officially turning on the Millstreet Christmas Lights on this Sunday, 30th Nov. 2025 at 6.00pm. Eily is the very first lady and the very first person in their 90s (although she looks in her 60s!) to officially be accorded this prestigious honour. So very richly deserved by this magnificent personality supreme who was among Ireland’s first lady Bus Drivers, who has been such an inspirational community spirited volunteer, who is such a Family dedicated lady, star of radio and television whose Weekly Reports on www.millstreet.ie are globally popular and are hugely important to so many near and far. Christmas festivities begin after 5pm with lots of new features this year. Millstreet Christmas Lights Committee extends sincere thanks to all who have so generously contributed at the recent Church Gate Collection, to the many dedicated Volunteers, to Millstreet Men’s Shed, to Millstreet Pipe Band, to Vintage Groups that truly enhance the magnificent colour evident in the grand Christmas Parade, to the uplifting support and assistance of Cork Co. Council…and to the many other people who help in various ways. Santa will arrive in very special transport and is assured of a royal welcome together with Mrs. Clause and the very helpful Elves. Let’s really pray for fine weather! We recall Steve Collins arriving in Millstreet in 2021 when he and his son were invited to officially turn on the Christmas Lights.

require 75% less energy than traditional bulbs. To add to the festive spirit we kindly ask households and
businesses in the town to decorate their premises.
We would like to thank all who provide power for our Christmas display, those who volunteer their time,
premises and equipment and those who contribute financially.
Special thanks to Cork County Council for
their continued support.
This weekend November 22/23 we shall be having our annual Church gate collection and we would
appreciate your kind support.

Accommodation in Millstreet
- H²ei everyone, my name is Sylwia Chmal and this is my daughter Nadia who is 16 years old. We have lived in Millstreet since 2020 and have been in Ireland since 2017 when I moved here from Poland. I work full time in Deco Painters and Nadia attends the Millstreet Community school in 5th year in Millstreet.
We currently live in the two bedroom apartment above the Polish Shop in Minor Row. (To avoid any confusion, the Polish Shop tenants downstairs are a different family). This apartment previously belonged to the late Aidan McCaul and now is owned by his son Denis who is sending this request to the Millstreet website and Facebook page for us.
Denis was living in Minor Row but that house has been sold and he has now moved to a short term rental in town. His rental is only available on a temporary basis until after Christmas, and he will move in here once we vacate. We have been registered with the RTB and received our official termination notice for the apartment. Denis is now helping us try to find new accommodation.
In light of that we are looking to rent accommodation in Millstreet or the surrounding area. We need 2 bedrooms, we also have some of our own furniture (couch) and kitchen appliances (fridge, washing machine etc.) we can bring. Any properties in need to decorating we can do that too. I have a landlord reference from Denis and can provide a work reference too. I speak fluent English and have an exemplary tenancy record in terms of up to date payments, upkeep of the property and providing access for maintenance/inspection when needed.
I can provide a mobile number when you can contact me by email (remove spaces when copying and pasting email address) chmalsylwia79 @ gmail .com or for direct contact with Denis McCaul, email him at denis.mccaul @ gmail .com (also remove spaces when copying and pasting his email address)
Please share this post, thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards, Sylwia and Nadia.
