Eily’s Report – 14th March

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to my weekly Report.

St. Patrick’s Week, or should I say the week with St. Patrick’s Day in it. We are already half way through the season of Lent and St. Patricks Day always gives us a little break. A day when we feel that we can partake of some of the things we’ve given up for Lent. Here in town our Community Council and all their helpers are going to pull out all the stops to make this years Fest a good one. We know now what it was like during the long years of Covid when we were not allowed out to vent our feelings for our National Patron. Time to make up for lost time now. Also out in the  picturesque village of Carriganima they will do it and on the following Sunday March 19th.v They come to us and we go to them, well in keeping with the wonderful relationship that has existed between our two places since time began. So it will be all systems go in Millstreet on Friday afternoon for our 4.45/5 o’clock start. Once again the sprawling car/truck park at the Green Glens will be the preparing and starting point .The ever popular Peter Lane on Blackwater Sound Fame will entertain the crowds at the reviewing stand in the Town Square and will herald in the items for our grand parade 2023. Fine prizes are there for the best of each category and the Hotel and all the our other food outlets will guarantee that no one goes home hungry or thirsty. For application forms for the Parade contact any Community Council Member.
