Magnificent Response to our Museum & Website Fundraiser

A million thanks to the many hugely generous contributors to our Millstreet Museum & Community Website Fundraiser which we only launched on Thursday, 6th Nov. 2025 (just two days ago!) and it has already reached in excess of €5,000.00 ! which will already cover our expenses for the coming year.  We shall continue the fundraising until the end of November permitting extra contributions to help defray the cost of future years so that we shall not have to appeal for any extra funding until that fund is depleted.   To follow the progress of our fundraising please refer to our GoFundMe page.  In addition to our GoFundMe project people have been contributing in cash such as the recent anonymous kind Donors of €100 and of €50.  Renewed thanks to All Our Very Generous Contributors who will be personally thanked for such encouraging support towards two Community Services – our Museum and our Millstreet Community Website indicating in such a concrete manner their sincere appreciation of both Services.  Below we share two images from our Museum Pictorial Archive.  These two wonderfully historical images which will evoke very special memories were very kindly presented by the late Jerry Lehane from the original Photographic Archive of the late Tadhg O’Driscoll.  The images refer to a Corpus Christi Procession of the 1950s making its way up Main Street to the temporary altar at The Square.  Having been born in 1951 I can recognise quite a few!  Tap on the photos to enlarge.  (Seán Radley)
