Dia is Mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Report 1270 from Millstreet.  Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely warm Tuesday morning.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny paid a flying visit to Millstreet last Friday. It was  unscheduled and apart from  politics, it was very pleasant and informal. Following his public address at the Wallis Arms Hotel he accepted an invitation from his college pal, Sean Radley to see our beautiful newly refurbished Museum at the Carnegie Hall. The pictures on our website clearly shows a fully recovered Sean  proudly showing an interested Enda, the story of Millstreet over the centuries. All of this was at 11 oclock at night.The Taoiseach was also very keen to hear all about Sean’s recent health scare, and successful treatment. Being the same age, he couldn’t be blamed for thinking,”why not me”. Before leaving he met many locals,the pictures are on our Website. Then he boarded  his chauffeur driven car for the long journey home.

 

Cullen Feis will be held on Sunday next June 21st. Competitions start at 12noon Sports at 2pm and at  3 oclock there will be music and dancing .Special Guest Ann Marie O Riordan.

Don’t miss this great Family day out in Cullen.

The Rubicon Centre, Ireland’s premier business start-up specialist and leading business innovation hub, is planning a number of roadshows to help budding entrepreneurs research their ideas and to turn them into a viable business reality throughout Cork County.
Beginning with Millstreet on the 22nd June 2015 at 7pm, in conjunction with Millstreet E Centre, they are inviting budding entrepreneurs with an innovative business idea (and who want to start, or expand, their own business) to this Free Information Evening.
The Rubicon Centre offers direction on how you can, through the support of your local E Centre, turn your aspirations into a business that will help create local jobs.
The Rubicon Centre runs a number of courses from the female start up programme (PINC), Exxcel Programme for those currently employed in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths, who wish to start their own business, through to the fully paid New Frontiers Programme which is supported by Enterprise Ireland with the potential to be export orientated and become a large employer. Quite simply they are the experts for any aspiring entrepreneur, so come along and ask those questions you were always afraid to ask.
This initial event will be supported by other roadshows in Mitchelstown, Skibbereen, Midleton/Youghal, so, if you have ideas, why not come along and discuss the idea for free with the start-up specialists.
Contact the Rubicon Centre for any further details on 021 4928900 or check out the web site www.rubiconcentre.ie.

The late Joe Howard of Lyre, Banteer. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. We thank Donie Howard for sharing the photograph and special tribute below. (S.R.)

Joe was born on the 29th December 1930 in Lackloun, Lyre to a farming family. He was an only child and had no first cousin on either his mother or father’s side, so Joe was very special from day one. He grew up in a household of great hospitality and music as his mother Katherine played the piano and Joe was gifted with great vocal ability, so he learned many old songs, the most famous of his party pieces being “The Old Refrain.” 

Joe was educated at Lyre National School and Rockwell College, Co. Tipperary. [read more …] “The Late Joe Howard of Lyre, Banteer”
