The Drishane road has long been day or night a popular place for people looking to get out and walk or run in a safe location. Good news is that the pavement looks set to be extended out to Coole Cross in the near future.
The Corkman tells us that at the most recent meeting of the local municipal district, funding of €40,000 was allocated for the Footpath Project Millstreet from Drishane to Coole Cross, while the Christmas Lights in Millstreet are also to receive funding of €8,000. [1]
So many people walk that stretch of the road that a path has long been reddened into the roadside, so hopefully this footpath will add extra safety for those out walking.
The magnificent response to Daffodil Day 2024 on Friday, 22nd March, was truly uplifting with the grand total collected €8,031.00. Sincere congratulations to the wonderfully dedicated Volunteer Collectors as well as the very generous Members of the Public who together help to fund the provision of inspiring Daffodil Nurses and those involved in such important medical research in the attempt to continue the quest for improved treatment and future cures. Here we meet some of the superb Volunteers on Daffodil Day 2024. Tap on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)

Fools Day is over and the clocks are put forward and the sun is shining, what more can we ask for? Schools are closed for the week, so let’s all be merry and bright.
Our Easter ceremonies went very well. A great number of people attended the Penitential Celebrations on Wednesday evening where priests from other parts of the Dioceses sat in our church to hear confessions. Holy Thursday evening also drew fine crowd and on Good Friday the Church was all but full for the final story of the Passion of Christ, before the joyous nine o’clock Mass on Saturday night to celebrate the Risen Christ. We had five priests on the alter and the choir excelled themselves, especially in the rendering on The Gloria at the end and the Congregation responded with a rousing round of applause. The priest thanked all those who helped in any way to make our Easter ceremonies the wonderful event that it was.
Lady carer available for overnight care of the elderly.
