Eily’s Update 12th January
Dia is Mhuire diobh and welcome to some notes from Millstreet.
A wonderful night was had by all at the Womens Christmas Party which was held at the Wallis Arms Hotel on Friday January 8th. In excess of 130 ladies of every age and background flocked to the venue where they were greeted with some warm mulled wine, before being seated for a wonderful meal. Music was provided by Back on Track, headed by local man Danny Creedon. There were spot prizes golore, and the fun ‘n games went on till late.
Six years ago our first Womens Christmas party was organised by a new girl in town Mairead Daly and it has gone from strength to strength since then. Others have rowed in now to help Mairead with the workload. Any money left over goes to the local cancer support group which was started by Mairead Daly, who has the disease herself. We wish her well.
A group of students from our Community School aquitted themselves at the Young Scientists Exhibition which was held at the RDS last week. Some had the honour of being photographed with the president and his wife Sabina while others were interviewed by the popular TV presenter Vincent Brown and appeared on his program. They were James Cronin, Knocknakilla, Padraig Moynihan, Keale ,whose mother runs our Post Office, and Shane Hickey, grandson of Noel C Duggan.
Well done to them all.
