Eily’s Report – 2nd December

Dia is Mhuire diobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

And welcome to the month of December. The last few days of November left a lot to be desired weatherwise, but the wind and rain did nothing to dampen the long line of activities which brought the second last month to a close.

Friday was full of things to do because the Tanaiste and Minster for Finance Simon Harris breezed in to town. Earlier in the day he officially opened the office of Kathleen Lynch in Macroom before coming to our Library where a large number of people had come to meet him. They were made up of members of Our Active Retired Club as well as members of other voluntary bodies in the town. Our Librarian supreme Gillian gave an in depth account of all that goes on in her care. It painted a vivid picture of all that goes on involving people of all ages from small children to the very aged. Some of those present adding the wonderful improvement that Gillian herself has made for our people changing it from a place of silence to haven of activity and interaction to suit all ages. She pointed out a piece of ground at the back where our library space could be extended to encompass ever more room for more things to do. Sean Radley was at hand to take the many photos and then took the visitors to see his lovely museum of which he is so justly proud. Then all went down the street to the old cinema where our Community Council has transformed this fine building into a modern day Gym. The youthful Tanaiste couldn’t resist the temptation to have a go on the rowing machine. On his way back to his car beside the Carnegie Hall we met up with him and his entourage again and (politics aside), we enjoyed some real good humoured banter, enough to have he say that he must come back another time. We would count it an honour.

Millstreet Library – Friday 28th November 2025 – Thank you

A sincere thanks to everyone who attended the Age Friendly meeting, and to all those who came to welcome An Tánaiste and Minister for Finance during his visit to Millstreet Library last Friday.  It was a great honour for us that he chose the library as his first port of call in Millstreet.

We were delighted to showcase the library, highlight the events and workshops that take place here, and demonstrate just how much the library means to the community.  A library is truly the backbone of any community, and last Friday was a proud reminder of that.

I was also very proud to share our ongoing development, our new outdoor seating area designed for both adults and children. Please keep an eye out for further updates on this exciting project.

Thank you for all your continued support.

We’ve yet to express personal thanks to many of our supremely generous Donors. Over the next fortnight we hope to have made contact with all who so very kindly supported our fundraising.

Sincere thanks for helping to make this a splendid reality. It is greatly appreciated. We thank the GoFundMe Company for making available such a magnificent platform for important fundraising.

Kindest regards – Seán Radley, Fundraising Coordinator on behalf of our entire Team. (30th Nov. 2025)

A sincere word of thanks to Canon John Fitzgerald PP, Millstreet, who concelebrated Tim’s mass. Thanks to Sharon for her great assistance and Julie. Thanks to Jerry Doody and the organist for their great music.

To Davy, Declan, Cora at Tarrant’s Undertakers, we are most grateful for their professionalism and personal touch.

A special thanks to our wonderful neighbours, relatives, and friends who supported us at this difficult time and to all who travelled long distances to be with us to share in our grief.
