Mike Cotter has a number of queries of people from the Millstreet area:
1) I am trying to find out anything that people might know of the family/descendants of a Patrick Forde and his wife Julia (Riordan), who lived in Gortaveha, Drishane at the end of the 1800′s. I know that two sons of theirs emigrated to the States and one grandchild, Nellie Forde, was born in 1895 in Scotland.
2) I am also interested in finding any descendants of a Dan and Margaret Riordan who lived in Toorboney, who were married in 1903 and had the following children; Tim, Julia, John, Michael and Hannah, all born between 1903 and 1911.

“A red sky at night is a shepherds delight, a red sky in the morning is a shepherds warning” … so goes the rhyme, and Geraldine Dennehy captured this great sunset Sunday evening in Ballydaly. Hopefully that will be the case for the week, as though we will get a few showers we are promised warmer weather until the start of next week which will be no harm after the summer we’ve had!

Oft times I’d seen the butcher boy in Denis Corkery’s bar
He drove a honda motor bike could not afford a car
He did not believe in misery he let his money fly
Ballydaly’s Richard Regan dark haired butcher boy.

Oft times I’d seen the butcher boy at the Cork greyhound track
The sighs and moans of punters as the favourite dog fell back
He’d tear up his betting ticket another fifty gone
But it did not seem to bother him he’d say life must go on.
