On Wednesday morning (14th May 2025) a large number of Primary Schools within the catchment area was invited to attend the first performance by the Transition Year Students of the hugely popular Musical “Grease Lightning” at Millstreet Community School. And “wow“- what a truly magnificent theatrical experience with its highly professional singing, choreography, staging and 1950s style and atmosphere where we witnessed magical performances of a Hollywood nature from many of the superbly talented Students. Sincere congratulations to All involved in the many months of dedicated preparation. We truly encourage attendance either tonight (Thursday) or tomorrow night with the outstanding Show beginning at 8pm. What a splendid opportunity for us all to enjoy such a wonderfully memorable and very happy musical night of the very best entertainment.

Oh dear, I don’t have a lot of news for you this week. Whatever I have is hearsay, because I wasn’t out very much to attend the local happenings. I got a bug which left me ill for over a week. It was an unusual sort of bug, strange, and I was a little concerned until I heard of others having the same symptoms. Cramps in the stomach. Not your usual pain in the belly but painful cramps and a feeling of sickness. No appetite for food and no tolerance of it except something light and soothing. The family wanted me to see a doctor, but I chose to wait, go to bed and take rest. Take light food, I had to because any thing heavy hurt inside. T.G. I’m the type who bounces back. But I want to let others know how I was ,because it was such a comfort to me when I heard that others had the same symptoms. The old adage that there is safety in numbers works in many ways and we can all fit it into our own case when it suits us.

Established 125 years ago in 1900 the West End Shop of the O’Byrne Family is to close following a special Closing Down Sale on this Saturday, 10th May 2025 from 10.00am to 5.00pm. Fr. Paddy O’Byrne has decided that now is the correct time to draw a close to one of Millstreet’s most popular shops which has especially been a firm favourite with many generations of children and their parents. We thank you, Fr. Paddy and all the O’Byrne Family especially the late Dola for providing such a truly magnificent service over many, many years where its many loyal customers were always accorded a royal welcome, a wonderfully friendly chat and the most inspiring and colourful window displays. Míle buíochas. Tap on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
