Lost Wedding Band

Hi, I lost a wedding band in the vicinity of the Millstreet GAA Club on Saturday evening. I had just finished the Slí Gealteacht Mhuscraí race. I had it after my shower but not in the car on the way home so it must have come off between the shower block the GAA clubhouse and the adjacent car park. If you hear of a ring being found you might let me know on 087-0567664. It is inscribed on the inside. – Dave

Eily’s Report -12th February

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

The AGM of the Community Council will be held tonight (Tuesday)at the Wallis Arms Hotel starting at 8 sharp. Everybody is welcome to attend the AGM and a special invitation is extended to people who would like to become members.

 

The Community Council is a very powerful body and has achieved countless successes since its inception in 1977.  In 1977 the government issued a directive to all communities around the country to set up a local council in their own area. The order was taken seriously here in Millstreet and meetings were held not only in the town but also in country schools or halls outside of it. Each area proposed candidates and elections were held with a representative for each area chosen, so as to ensure a balanced  say for all.  Dr. Pat Casey was the first Chairman and he was faced with the daunting  task of setting up the foundation of a new venture that was to guide Millstreet through the future. From humble beginnings and many years of hard work and dedication the achievements of our Community Council are countless.
