Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this beautiful calm Tuesday morning.

Well the Loveliest Night of the Year lived up to its name again this year. The Women’s Christmas was celebrated in style by over 200 ladies of all ages at the wonderful Wallis Arms Hotel on Friday night last January6.  Every “Girl” in the family from Grannies to granddaughters were all dressed up in their finest bling  for the night that was in it.

It was great to see old friends meeting up and recalling their young days when life was simpler and the Celtic hadn’t yet come to spoil it all.

But there was no talk of bad times that night it was all fun and more fun. The beautiful meal, the rousing music of the Kelt, you couldn’t ask for more.

A collection box was passed round the Hall on the night, in aid of Cancer research and a massive €1,545.20 was raised.

Again many thanks to Mairead Daly who, in spite of her illness, saw to every detail of the great event. Thanks also to her helpers, especially Breda Cremin.

Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this calm morning following a very stormy  night .

Millstreet is waking up from a very enjoyable and safe Christmas period. Buíochas le Dia. Next Sunday night will see the return of our weekly Parish Lotto draw. It will be held at the Clara Inn on Sunday night with a Jackpot of €4,200. Tickets will go on sale during the week from the usual outlets.

Our sincere sympathy goes to Johnnie O’Keeffe on the death last week, of his dear wife Lena. Lena was a staunch member of our community. She worked tirelessly for the Tidy Towns effort, and for many years she and Johnnie were familiar figures as they combed the area picking up papers and rubbish. Thus helping our town to win many awards over the years.

May her gentle soul now rest in Peace.

Santa came down from the air at Carriganima on Sunday last as promised. A very large crowd gathered to see the helicopter land with the ease of a bird in Walshes field adjacent to the village. It was a joy to watch the little children, wide-eyed with amazement at the scene. A great evening followed with every little one going home with a parcel to open.

We were indeed deeply honoured at the weekend when the Eucharistic Bell was brought to our Church. A very large crowd turned up for the historic event and after prayers everybody was invited to come to the altar and ring the bell. We all went up knowing that we will never again get the chance again. People came from many other places to see it and we were so proud of our beautiful church all lit up for the occasion. Next morning it resumed  its journey through the highways and byways of Ireland.

We have a new President, and for a while we could not be blamed for thinking it was our own Sean Radley. He was seen on our screens on inaugural day almost as often as Mr. Higgings himself, and I am sure he is dying to tell us all about it.

A million congratulations to our brilliant camogie team on winning the Junior Shield  on Saturday, beating Mitchelstown by two points in the final. Well done indeed to them and to all associated with them.

Two nights stand out among all the rest on our town’s annual calendar,  as far as good entertainment is concerned. St Stephens Night and the night of the Fancy Dress Ball. Last Friday night our town was a mecca of fun and colour and sheer enjoyment. All week people of all ages scanned the shops and their findings found them dressed in regalia that they would not be seen dead in the following day. Every kind of paint and colour   was used to good effect. And best of all it was all in a good cause. This years proceeds will go to Cope, for the care of people with special needs. Once again the Aubane Social Club and the Wallis Arms Hotel have to be lauded for the running of this great annual event, and for such a great cause.
