The St. John’s Day Mass which normally would have been held at St. John’s Well on Mushera, this Thursday on June 24th, has been cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic – from the St. John’s Well Committee
Yesterday an objection was lodged with Cork County Council to the continued use of an 80 Mtr. Meteorological Mast on Mushera Mountain. This of course is paving the way for a wind farm on Mushera. There were over 200 Signatures attached to the Objection……yes, that is correct…..OVER 200 SIGNATURES. What is even more gratifying is that the Communities from Ballinagree, Aubane, Kilcorney, Millstreet and the Surrounding Area plus further afield came together to achieve this.
Many Thanks to Everyone for the great showing of Support.
Those that worked so hard under difficult circumstances are to be congratulated on their achievement. Keep up the good work.

Just had a message in:
A man with an occupant in his van was stopped outside our gate asking for directions to St. John’s well. Was inquiring about our dog and how old she was. He was curious as to how she acted as well. We watched as he drove towards Aubane area driving slowly past everyone’s house. A newish silver van with English Reg plates. Very suspicious and let everyone to keep watch of their dogs.
Remember keep an eye out for any Plastic Ties or markings outside your gate, and let anyone know if you see anything on other peoples properties.

Thinking Of My Father, Mike Kelleher, today, May 2nd, on his 8th Anniversary In Heaven. My father was originally from Aubane Cottage, Millstreet.
I cannot believe eight years ago you were with us celebrating Kathleen’s Communion. I am a very lucky and a blessed daughter to have had my Dad also be my best friend.
Life has been so different without you in it and many days I shed a tear when I have to remind myself that you’re not here physically. But I do feel you and I know you hear us.
A huge part of our life is missing and that was you. I love you and miss you Daddy everyday!!
Thinking of you on your 8th Anniversary in Heaven Today and Mom is with you on your Anniversary. Love and Miss You, Margaret, James, Brian and Kathleen and Michael Kelleher
Coillte and Brookfield Renewables are now attempting to categorise the Balinagree / Mushera windfarm as a Strategic Infrastructural Development, thus avoiding the need for a normal planning application, and speeding up the development, and most likely putting residents concerns in the background. Read more about this development in the Evening Echo.
