Eily’s Report – 5th March
Dia is mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my Report.
Rain, rain rattle pane and if the forecast is anything to go by, the panes will rattle. Please God it won’t be as severe as the storms of a few weeks ago which left a trail of destruction in it’s wake. But we soldier on.
March Fair almost passed unbeknownst, very few stalls in the town and just as few horses at the Fair Field. The near demise of that ancient annual event will always make me sad. It’s an age old custom and in other countries they not only keep such events going, but they build on them. While holding on to as much of the old ways as possible they add a new dimensions which is both pleasing and interesting to all sections of their community.
Congratulations to Millstreet CS Senior Football Team
Huge congratulations to Millstreet CS senior football team and coaches on their win today in the school Munster final.
Well deserved win.
