We encourage you to log into the Facebook of Justborn Photography to view a brilliant 4 minute video of the St. Patrick’s Day Millstreet Parade 2014 as filmed by Justin Black, Photographer supreme. (S.R.)
Millstreet native Tony Broderick was back in town on St.Patrick’s Day catching up with old friends and family, where he attended the parade for the first time in many years with camera in hand, and has shared with us some of his super photos.
These days, Tony is a wedding/events photographer living in the South West region of France and “fortunately I had a camera in hand to capture some of the wonderful colour and smiling faces on the day”.
You can see Tony’s St.Patrick’s Day photos on his OneDrive slideshow, and more of Tony’s photos on his website nobordersphotos.com
Many thanks to Tony for sharing the photos with us.

We also came across some other historical photos from Millstreet, some of which we had not seen before, on the Irish Historical Picture Company website. Seán Radley informed us that this shop used to be open in Dublin, and over the years he has purchased most of the photos for the Millstreet Museum collection.
This spectacular sunset on Monday evening over Millstreet was captured by James McSweeney and appeared on his website http://2u.ie
Joe Walsh of Cahir, Co Tipperary sent us this very interesting photo and family history:
“The attached may be of interest. I think they are young Duggans c1905. Agatha (Buckley) Duggan left her pub in the west end to niece Gretta Griffin. Who died c 1992.
My great great grandfather was Jeremiah O’Sullivan of Millstreet (c1840), whose daughter Hannah married Thomas Griffin (from Mayo) and they ran a draper shop in Millstreet (1890s-1940). I think it was Corcorans later. Their daughter Mary Griffin married Jim Walsh of Cahir (where Hannah is buried), and son Tom, who stayed in Millstreet and married a Buckley – their Daughter Gretta ran a pub ‘Tanglewood’ until her death in 1992.”
If you can connect with the photo / history, leave a reply below, or send Joe an email at: <email>

A wonderful photo of a Sports Day in Millstreet Town Park in 1976. You have to love the lads running in long pants, jumpers, shirts and ties! Thanks to Tony Kelleher (formerly of Minor Row) who allowed us to use this photo, which he scanned before time got the better of the print.
But, can anyone name the runners? Tony is out in front in the photo above, and Tony is out in front on the national stage these days, as he claimed the National Masters Indoor 800m (M40) title in Athlone on Saturday (Feb 8th) finishing in a time of 2mins 4 secs. He is also national Masters Outdoor Champion which he won last August in Tullamore.
