MANLEY, JOHN (Muswell, London and The Square, Millstreet) The death has occurred of John Manley on April 12th 2020, peacefully, in the exceptional care of Barnet Hospital, London. Beloved husband of the late Esther (née Cashman, Tullig House). Dear brother to James (Kanturk), Mick (Bandon), Fr. Denjoe (Hull), Anthony (Mr. O, the Square), Betsy (Rathmore), and Sr. Margaret (England) , all deceased. Adored father of the late Kathleen and Michelle, Marie, Diane, very special son-in-law Mark, nieces, nephews and grandchildren. Greatly missed by all of his family and friends especially the Manleys and Cashmans in Millstreet.

The Square this evening at 9pm. Nothing moving. So quiet, you could nearly hear yourself think.
On Monday night (11th March 2019) the very impressive Booklet outlining the History of Millstreet Credit Union 1968 to 2016 was officially launched at Credit Union H.Q. in The Square, Millstreet. Here we share three images from the historic occasion. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
The RTÉ Archives have recently added a new video titled “Industry in Millstreet 1987“. It was a dark time for the town after Apple Computers had left Millstreet in 1985, leaving us with high unemployment, and the Community Council were trying to encourage businesses back into Millstreet. There are interviews with the late Ken Brennan and Sgt. Seán O’Sullivan, as well as clips from around town. Click here to watch the video. Also below are some images from the video, with lots of locals recognisable:
The true spirit of Christmas is in evidence throughout Millstreet Town with the official turning on of the Christmas Lights at The Square on Friday evening (7th Dec. 2018) revealing a magnificent festive creation, the Christmas Jumper GAA Run in aid of Irish Cancer Society on Saturday and people adding Christmas magic to shop windows with outdoor Christmas Trees further enhancing the atmosphere. This year our Christmas Tree is located near the Corner by the original Tom Radley’s Forge. Here we share a variety of images illustrating that wonderful Christmas Spirit.

A few minutes later than scheduled, under blue skies and a temperature of 22C, the Rás Tailteann passed through Millstreet on its way to Mitchelstown. There was a over a minute gap between the leaders and the main peleton. The Boys National School came up town and created a fantastic atmosphere. Well done everyone that came out !
There’s a number of more videos and photos of the race below: [read more …] “Rás Tailteann passing through Millstreet today”
Millstreet Development Group have done a wonderful job this year on improving the Christmas Lights in Millstreet. A special thanks must go to all the volunteers who were back out all around the town Tuesday evening, trying to get everything ready for official turning on of the lights on Saturday evening (after 6:30pm mass, in the Square) … and there’s still more to put up 🙂

The video above has been published by RTÉ of Millstreet coming to a standstill for the Annual Spring Horse Fair of 1965. The Fair was not only a time for bargaining and dealing. It was also a social occasion that continues to attract the crowds, young and old, to the town. The video above is from a Newsbeat report broadcast on 12 April 1965, and was probably held on Sunday February 28th 1965 (the closest Sunday to March 1st). [update July 2015: the video has since been removed by RTE 🙁 ]
Below is a gallery of 27+ stills from the video. It is likely many of the people are not locals, but it would be interesting if people could help us recognise some people in the photos: [read more …] “Spring Horse Fair 1965”
Up to the 1990’s Jerry O’Riordan’s was one of a number of grocery shops in the Square in Millstreet. In June 2003 the three houses at the corner of the square which made up the shop and store were to be demolished to make way for the new credit union. Seán Radley was on hand to take photos of the demolition and at the time were published on what was then for a short time, the Millstreet website (millstreet.20m.com).

The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. [read more …] “Ring out the Old, and Ring in the New”
