Eily’s Report – 4th November

Dia is Mhuire diobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.

The word is out ,we have a winner and I want to congratulate the popular Kelleher Brothers, Fenton, Stephen, Nicky & Jamie, on being the joint winners of one of the  biggest jackpots in the life of our Lotto, €16,000, Their winning numbers were 6,9,12,25  Congratulations also the their lucky seller Mary Rose at Healy’s Bar. She will receive the sellers prize of €1,600. As far as I know it’ a first in the long life of our Lotto, when so many people shared to Jackpot and this time because it is going to four obviously, close knit brothers, it is indeed very special.

The lotto it a very important feature in the everyday running of our community. It’s the life line of Millstreet GAA, The Town Park and the Community Council for our Youth. I’m sure when the dust settles there will be a special photo shoot at the presenting of the prizes.  In the meantime the weekly Jackpot starts off again at €2,000. Please continue to give it your best support and this is as good a time as any to say a sincere word of that to all those who support our lotto in any way.

We’ll move on.

Recent publication which maybe of interest to people in the Millstreet area

A book which features the tenants on Viscounts Lismore estate in counties Cork, Limerick and Tipperary was recently published by Four Courts Press.
The material for the book comes from the Tim Looney papers which are deposited in Special Collections, UL.  Using letters exchanged between land agent and tenants as well as other material, this book explores the lives of people in the 1890s- an often overlooked decade in Irish history.
Both Ireland’s Own and RTE Brainstorm have both published articles based on material in the book.
Of interest to people from Millstreet, may be the story of Nora O’Sullivan and how at nine years old, following the death of her stepmother, she raised her younger brothers and sisters. Nora, originally from Banteer, married John Foley, Clonbanin, in 1919. They had one daughter, Bridget Mary and Nora passed away in Millstreet District Hospital in 1922.
Bridget married Michael Murphy Dromtarriff in 1959.
