Brendan Kiely
Brendan Kiely was born and raised in the Town of Millstreet and near the Town of Millstreet Brendan died

As we move in to this Easter season the Methodist community would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Easter.

Hello, i live in Australia and I am researching the life of Dr Barry Cotter who was the first doctor in Melbourne. He was born at Flintfield House around 1807. I wonder if anyone in Millstreet can advise me of where I may be able to obtain further information about him.
