Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1164 from Millstreet.
fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this beautiful warm, sunny Tuesday morning.
Public Mass was said in our Parish Church on Monday evening for the Late Mons. Manning who passed away recently.
The Organisers of our Walking Festival were delighted with the fine weather over the weekend. Their prayers were answered and a fine crowd turned out both on Saturday and Sunday to take on our many walks that are routed through our finest scenery.
The organisers of the Monster MAC. (Millstreet Ahtletic Challenge) will be hoping for more of the same this weekend when the Mighty Country Park will be the starting point for this challenging event. Details are on the web.
Last year our own Brian Murphy was second and we wish him all the best again this time round. There are three categories, 20 km, 34km & 64km. Starts as early as 10am and all are welcome to come and cheer them on.
Our Development Group won the honour of providing the Marshals or stewards ,and will get €800 for their trouble. We wish the BIG M.A.C. every success.
