National Cycle Rás 2013 in Millstreet at Lunchtime Today

Great excitement in Millstreet today as the superbly fit participants in the 2013 National Cycle Rás passed through the centre of Millstreet at lunchtime with two leading cyclists. The main Rás was preceded by the very inspiring Charity Cycle. A grandfather with a Millstreet connection was given a royal welcome while the cyclists were served delicious refreshments by Millstreet G.A.A. and FÁS Staff. We shall have lots more pictures later and we got excellent interviews for LTV2 with Roy who worked with RTÉ conducting the introductions with stars of the cycling and G.A.A. world.   Click on the images to enlarge.   (S.R.)

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1168 from Millstreet .Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this nice mild Tuesday morning.

Our community is continuing to work its way down through the long list of events that were planned to celebrate the year of the Gathering. This past week was extra special as we recalled events of our hosting the EuroVision Song contest twenty years ago. On Wednesday night people gathered at the Wallis Arms Hotel bringing with newspaper cuttings photographs and stories that they had saved since 1993 to share with their friends.

On Friday night a EuroVision style Caraoke Contest was held at the same venue and a great time was had by all. Many congratulations to the lovely Muireann Buckley who was successful and also Brian O Leary was also declared a winner  in another category..
