The 1982 Munster Regional Trout Angling Championships

The above is a video for the 1982 Munster Regional Trout Angling Championships.  It was my late father Jerry Sheehan of Liscahane who organised the staging of the event which was normally held on the river Suir.

There are many anglers in this video from Millstreet some of whom are long deceased  and were indeed some of the best anglers in the country back then.

The competition was won on the day by local man Pat O’Sullivan of Bolomore,  Rathcoole.

It certainly brings many memories back to me and I am quite sure that it would do likewise for family and friends of the people seen on the video.

Thank you to Jack Sheehan for submitting this to Millstreet.ie

In Loving Memory of Dan Barrett

Who died on 4th April 2023

As we lovingly remember Dan on his first anniversary, we, his family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those, who helped and supported us with our sad loss.

A special word of thanks to all who attended the funeral, travelled long distances to be with us, as well as those who joined the Mass online.

Our sincere thanks to all those who offered condolences, brought food to the house, sent mass cards, perpetual enrolments, letters of sympathy, phone calls, text messages, floral tributes, kind words and extended condolences online.

We are especially grateful to all our neighbours for the wonderful send-off he got in his beloved Aubane.

We would like to thank Canon John Fitzgerald, Fr James McSweeney & Fr Teddy Linehan for the beautiful Requiem Mass and Sharon Lane & Julie Brady for their assistance.

A special thanks to Mary and Siobhán Forde and their families for providing such beautiful music.

We would also like to thank Davy Tarrant, Declan Brady and Cora O’ Riordan for their kindness and professionalism.

As we cannot thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our gratitude. The Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.

Dan’s Anniversary Mass will take place on Thursday 4th April at 7.30pm in St Patrick’s Church, Millstreet.

“Will those who think of Dan today, a little prayer to Jesus say.”

May he rest in peace

Tim O’Sullivan is Grand Marshal Supreme in Staten Island, New York, USA

Timothy O’Sullivan, born in Lyreaoune in the parish of Millstreet, Co.Cork and now living in New Jersey, USA was recently honored as the Grand Marshal of the 2024 Richmond County St. Patrick’s Parade in Staten Island, NY.  He was selected because he was part of the original Parade Committee in 1965, and for his many years of leadership in Irish events on Staten Island.
At the Richmond County AOH Hibernian Ball, held on February 17, 2024, Tim was sashed as Grand Marshal.  His family and friends were there for the celebration. Tim led the 60th parade down Forest Avenue on Sunday, March 3rd, 2024. Congratulations to Tim!
