The people from Animal Heaven Animal Rescue (AHAR) this evening were confronted with the task of rounding up three pony stallions who had been abandoned in the hills near Millstreet. Thousands of acres of freedom, so four hours they spent chasing them, but to no avail (as you would expect). They’re trying again today(Saturday), meeting at 1pm at Collins’ Petrol Station if you could give a hand, or know of a good way to round them up!

The Fine Gael TD said she expected a dedicated unit for children with the condition would open in Cork University Hospital (CUH) within two years.
Building will begin in December depending on private funding, she said, promising to use her position in Government to “keep an eye” on it.

On this Good Friday morning this is how Clara Mountain looked. The Cross was carefully taken down on Thursday, 5th April 2012. A splendid new Cross will replace this. In 1950 the Holy Year Cross was put in place on Clara Mountain’s summit. It was replaced in 1967 and again in 1984. Therefore the new Cross will be the fourth. With hundreds of people attending, Holy Mass was celebrated on Clara Mountain in 2000 with a very special plaque unveiled on that historic 50th anniversary occasion by the late Tadhg O’Driscoll.
