Acknowledgement and First Anniversary
On the occasion of Tim’s first anniversary, his family would like to acknowledge the many gestures of kindness and sympathy shown to us throughout Tim’s illness and funeral.
We are deeply indebted to Dr. Christine McCarthy, Dr. Liam Norton and the staff at Millstreet Medical Centre, for the remarkable kindness and care shown to Tim.
A sincere thank you to Mulcahy’s Pharmacy, and the staff at Bons Secures Hospital.
A sincere word of thanks to Canon John Fitzgerald PP, Millstreet, who concelebrated Tim’s mass. Thanks to Sharon for her great assistance and Julie. Thanks to Jerry Doody and the organist for their great music.
To Davy, Declan, Cora at Tarrant’s Undertakers, we are most grateful for their professionalism and personal touch.
A special thanks to our wonderful neighbours, relatives, and friends who supported us at this difficult time and to all who travelled long distances to be with us to share in our grief. To all who brought food to our home and helped with the catering, sent cards, letters, floral tributes and online condolences.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our thanks and appreciation. The Holy Sacrifice of Mass has been offered for your intentions.
Tim’s first anniversary Mass will be celebrated in Millstreet church on Sunday, November 30th. 2025 at 11:30 am
Wonderful Eily Ready to Officially Turn On Christmas Lights Sunday at 6pm
Yes indeed – it’s our very own Eily Buckley who will be officially turning on the Millstreet Christmas Lights on this Sunday, 30th Nov. 2025 at 6.00pm. Eily is the very first lady and the very first person in their 90s (although she looks in her 60s!) to officially be accorded this prestigious honour. So very richly deserved by this magnificent personality supreme who was among Ireland’s first lady Bus Drivers, who has been such an inspirational community spirited volunteer, who is such a Family dedicated lady, star of radio and television whose Weekly Reports on www.millstreet.ie are globally popular and are hugely important to so many near and far. Christmas festivities begin after 5pm with lots of new features this year. Millstreet Christmas Lights Committee extends sincere thanks to all who have so generously contributed at the recent Church Gate Collection, to the many dedicated Volunteers, to Millstreet Men’s Shed, to Millstreet Pipe Band, to Vintage Groups that truly enhance the magnificent colour evident in the grand Christmas Parade, to the uplifting support and assistance of Cork Co. Council…and to the many other people who help in various ways. Santa will arrive in very special transport and is assured of a royal welcome together with Mrs. Clause and the very helpful Elves. Let’s really pray for fine weather! We recall Steve Collins arriving in Millstreet in 2021 when he and his son were invited to officially turn on the Christmas Lights.
