Closing Down Sale on Saturday at Fr. Paddy’s Iconic Shop

Established 125 years ago in 1900 the West End Shop of the O’Byrne Family is to close following a special Closing Down Sale on this Saturday, 10th May 2025 from 10.00am to 5.00pm.  Fr. Paddy O’Byrne has decided that now is the correct time to draw a close to one of Millstreet’s most popular shops which has especially been a firm favourite with many generations of children and their parents.   We thank you, Fr. Paddy and all the O’Byrne Family especially the late Dola for providing such a truly magnificent service over many, many years where its many loyal customers were always accorded a royal welcome, a wonderfully friendly chat and the most inspiring and colourful window displays.   Míle buíochas.   Tap on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)

Eily’s Report – 6th May

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

‘Tis the weather that makes it. No matter what your interests or hobbies may be, the weather can make all the difference. How blessed we are at the moment by this spell of beautiful ,warm sunny days. May Day was made all the more pleasant by the warm weather. Ireland is at it’s best in May. The native furze is in full bloom and all the shrubs and plants are vying with one another to see who can put on the best show. Silage fields wave in the breeze and there is beauty all around. Every year at this time the massive crab tree  across the road from Connie Joe’s Fort on the Macroom Road puts on a great show of blossoms but this time it excels itself. It’s leaves almost invisible among the pink blossoms as it hangs over the road  as far as the white line. The crop is never picked and in the latter end of the year our road will be strewn with mini apples of many colours. Our gardens get more interesting all the time. At my age I find the best place for me to enjoy it is in my car and as I sat there on Sunday I learned an awful lot about what goes on outside my back door. From the comfort of my seat I discovered at least four birds nests. Not seeing me in my car they flew in and out of the same bush  giving the secret away.  Overhead a wily Hawk hovered in the hope that one of the parent birds would make a blip and it could swoop down for a meal. In my open shed I could hear the gearcucs pleading for more from their cosy home inside  a cavity concrete block. The parent birds made no secret of their comings and goings and each time they brought food they had to take away excrement from the nest, a full beak coming and a full beak leaving. I have a pair of Gold finches here and they go around like an old married couple. You’d never kill a dandelion again if you saw how they relish them. With the changing of the light I can turn my car to the best vantage point, maybe nod off for a moment and continue to wallow in the wonders of nature that only a fine day can bring.

Eily’s Report – 29th April

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

It may still be Spring but the signs of summer are all around.  In spite of the chilly breeze  the leaves are budding out in every tree and shrub and the forty shades of green are outdoing one another in every hill and hollow.  It’s a joy to drive along (better still if you have a driver) and admire the gifts which Mother Nature has for us as the months of Spring slowly move on. Never have we seen such a cover of blossoms on our apple, blackcurrant, gooseberry,  plum trees. The humble blackthorn still holding out longer than them all. The mad drive by Mother Nature seems to be catching. Our wild life creatures are behaving like never before. Heated situations arise when the hunt for a place to  build a nest comes along. While taking a moment’s glance out the window of a city dwelling last week, I was just in the right place at the right time to witness and high-pitched battle going on between a pair of Blackbirds and a magpie. The latter took up a vantage point at the edge of the evergreen where the two were busy trying to put their home comforts together , but the mean magpie was taking it all in, then out of the blue the  returning blackbird flew into him, giving him a mighty sidewinder which sent him on his way with more than a flea in his ear.

Vintage Car & Motorcycle Run in Matthew’s Memory

Vintage Car & Motorcycle Run in Matthew’s Memory

James Healy of Watergrasshill and of Curracahill, Millstreet shares the following:     “As you may be aware my 6 year old little boy Matthew was killed on the 9th of February 2024.  This last year has been an incredibly hard time and I will remain forever heartbroken as a result of Matthew’s death, the support of good family, friends, colleagues and even strangers has helped me through it. Thankfully myself and Matthew did have a wonderful 6 years together, for which I will be forever grateful, Matthew was an intelligent, articulate, funny and socially conscious little lad, he was an absolute pleasure to be with, and it was the greatest honor and privilege of my life to have been his dad.

 The loss Matthew has suffered is enormous, is absolute, and final, everything has been stolen from him in this life. The only thing I can do for him now in this life is to honor his memory and to bring as much positivity in his name as possible despite all the devastation and destruction. Therefore, to celebrate and honor Matthew, we are again this year, planning to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Ireland in Matthew’s name, a charity which reflects Matthew’s fun and adventurous character. We are holding a motorbike and vintage car run with music etc.  afterwards in Watergrasshill village (details below) on Sunday 18th of May to celebrate his birthday, for which he should have turned 8 years old on the previous Saturday 17th May.

 The support received last year for this event was incredible and €38,645 was raised for Make-A-Wish Ireland, this support means so much to myself and my family as we make our way through this enormous grief. It was beyond heartwarming to witness so many turning out for my little man, both on the day and online, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support. I would really appreciate your support with this fundraiser again this year, if you can, you can donate via the link below or on the day if you are attending the event, everyone is welcome. I would also appreciate it if you could forward this to your own list of contacts.   Your support is greatly appreciated…..Thank you.”

Eily’s Report – 22nd April

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

The old people used to say I’ll live as long as I can and I’ll die when I can’t help it. Well that was so true of our beloved Pope Francis. Having seen him the previous day blessing the crowd, I doubt if the news of his passing came of any shock on Easter Monday morning. He was a wonderful Pontiff, a man of the people and he proved it by leaving his deathbed to bless them one more time before God called him home. I’m confident that he is in Heaven and we can pray to him now that he is inside the Golden Gates.
