Eily’s Report – 11th November

Dia is Mhuire diobh go leir a Cáirde and welcome to my Report .

Fondest greetings on this wet, wet, wet morning. Where the constant rain has driven the nearby Finnow River to burst it’s  banks and flood the low lying planes of Geararoe. Last week we enjoyed some very pleasant early mornings and my constant companion every time was a cheeky little wren. There was no trace of any other bird, not even a robin. But this tiny little bundle of feathers and cocked tail kept me well entertained as he hopped from one level to another picking up some invisible morsels as he went along. In my travels  with Denise to Mallow on Monday the bright sunshine lit up the multicoloured Autumn colours along the way and having a driver made all the difference, left me free to admire the passing show. Le cúnamh Dé, fine days  will come again when this band of rain has cleared and don’t miss them.

Outstandingly Generous Response to Our Fundraiser

The truly magnificent response to our Fundraiser in regard to Millstreet Museum and Millstreet Community Website has been quite phenomenal.  Since we launched the fundraising project on Thursday, 6th Nov. 2025 our GoFundMe platform has already reached €6,860.00 (minus GoFundMe expenses later) plus contributions to our Bank of Ireland Account and also by hand.   This now means that not only are our expenses for the coming year fully covered but we are now entering the uplifting situation of beginning to ensure coverage for future years.   Our fundraising project will continue until the end of November 2025 when we shall be able to assess the final result and able to determine how many years will pass before any future fundraising will be necessary.   The following is an update relating to  our fundraising project.   Added to the overall GoFundMe account of €6,860.00 (minus GoFundMe expenses later) here are the extra generous contributions received:  Anonymous by hand €100.00;  Anonymous by hand €50.00;  Anonymous by post €50.00; From Geraldine and Matt €20.00; From Dan, Phil & Marie Twomey €100.00;  From Declan Cotter €50.00;  From Cork Music Station (William, Ita & John Fitzgerald) €200.00;  Anonymous to our Bank of Ireland account €50.00;  Millstreet Juvenile GAA Club to our Bank of Ireland account €200.00.   A million thanks for such outstanding support ensuring very real security for our two community services….Millstreet Community Website and Millstreet Museum.  We share four images from our Museum Pictorial Archives which were presented by the late Jerry Lehane from the photography of the late Tadhg O’Driscoll.  Tap on the images to enlarge.  (S.R.)
