Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to news report 1275 from Millstreet.  Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this calm morning following a wet night.

An important Community Council Meeting will b e held at the Wallis Arms to-night starting at 9.  All members please attend. The Community Council are at the moment engaged in upgrading the Youth Centre especially the Adult Gym there. Ambitious plans are in the pipeline and to-nights meeting will be mainly about this welcome development.

Another welcome development will be the placing of the bridge over the Blackwater at Dooneen. Many years of negotiations have gone into this project, and local lobbying  playing a big part.

 

The contract for the Bridge is gone out to tender, and  the crossing of the Blackwater at this point, marks one of the last pieces of the jig-saw on the mighty Bearra/Brefni Way

Local land owners on both sides of the river at this point, namely Michael and Marian O Sullivan and Francis and Eileen O Riordan  have to be lauded for allowing their land to be used for this important development.

Sliabh Luachra Summer School 2015 at Rockchapel 3-8 August

The Sliabh Luachra Summer School will take in Bruach Na Carraige Rockchapel from the 3rd to 8th August 2015.

The traditional music master classes which will be directed by Nicholas McAuliffe who is a leading authority on traditional music will focus on the recently discovered manuscripts in the National Traditional Music Archives in Dublin which came from Dan Curtin of Stagmount, Rockchapel and date back to the 1850, and manuscripts discovered in Elsberry,Missouri, in the United States and were compiled by Dave Dan Curtin and by David Leahy from Seocandgloss Mountcollins with music dating back to the 1700s.
These manuscripts give a historical glimpse of an older layer of Sliabh Luachra music that predates the polkas and slides that now characterize the area. They also illustrate the richness of the music at the time of the compiling of the manuscripts, and the contribution made by the area to the music of Sliabh Luachra over the last 200 years.

Eircode Community Outreach Programme

We thank  Lisa Cashman, Outreach Champion, Cork West, West Cork Development Partnership
West Cork Technology Park, Clonakilty, West Cork….for the following insight into Eircode.  (S.R.)

Re: Eircode Community Outreach Programme

Dear all,

You will probably hear or read reports that Eircode was launched yesterday or perhaps you saw the TV advert https://player.vimeo.com/video/132084090.

People all over County Cork will receive letters between Wednesday 15th July to Monday 20th July to notify them of the Eircode for their address and advice on how they can use it.

The introduction of Eircode will bring numerous benefits. Not only will it make the delivery of services and goods to households easier, but in the case of a medical emergency, being able to accurately and quickly identify an address can save valuable minutes. Remember, addresses will not be changing – an Eircode will simply be added to current addresses.

As you know from my previous communications, I work with West Cork Development Partnership as ‘Outreach Champion’ for Cork West area. The programme is co-ordinated by The Wheel, working closely with Irish Rural Link. We’re delighted that hundreds of people from organisations throughout Cork County have got on board and are helping to reach thousands of people who might otherwise get left behind. We’ve all been busy, meeting the target group on a one-to-one or one-to-few basis to tell them about Eircode, to answer their questions and to reassure them. It’s been a tremendous community effort.

The Blue Dog Bar

Beyond Millstreet Town it’s fame did travel far
The licensed premises owned by Catherine Duggan known as The Blue Dog Bar
Long deceased Millstreet’s most beautiful woman when in her life’s prime
Though this is going back many decades in time

Catherine a young widow with a large young family to raise
Was a woman who never did cease to amaze
Her children all quite successful became known far and wide
Far beyond the borders of Duhallow’s green countryside

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1274 from Millstreet.  Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this wet/misty Tuesday morning.

A notice from the Cullen and District Special Needs Association to say that their Annual OldTime Threshing and Vintage Day has been changed to Sunday July 26th.  It’s a fun day for all the family and live music by the wellknown Tim O Riordan & Natural Gas.

 

Cullen Young at Heart Gala evening out to the Gleneagle Hotel in Killarney on Tuesday July 28th   comprising of dinner followed entertainment and dancing to Brendan Shine.

Bus leaving Cullen at 5.45. Book your place prior to July 24th.

 

There is great excitement all over the place about the parish records that have been displayed on our website. Records of births, marriages and deaths can now be sourced back as far as the mid 1800s  and will attract worldwide interest.

 

Further to that, details from the famous Cork Butter Market are also on line, giving an account of all the people who sold butter there from as far back as 1884. Again this record will open up widespread interest. And will provide many talking points amongst our people.  Already I met a man today who has in his possession one of the wooden “stamps” that was used to determine the identity of the supplier.

 

Still with historic things, on Sunday last the Kerry Archaeological  and Historic Society  hosted a historic trail , taking in Clara, Drishane, Kilmeedy Castle and Upper Ballydaly. They started out from the Carnegie Hall at 2.30 and a fine crowd took part.

Cork Butter Market

Below is a list of farmers / creameries from the Millstreet area who were delivering butter to the Cork Butter Market in 1884, which taken from the Original Survey of February 1884.

It would be interesting to know how many firkins were supplied by each person, but that data (along with more like the presence of inspectors) is not shown here, but can be seen in the original documents.

This digitised info as well as all the suppliers from around Munster are located on corkarchives.ie. The original forms are available to view in the Archives research room by appointment. A copy of a form may also be obtained on request: Email: <email> or, Tel.+353 (0)21 4505876.

Original Parish Registers now available online

Cover of the Millstreet Parish baptismal register from 1853 to 1863

We’re lucky that the Millstreet Parish (and Kerry Dioscese) baptism and marriage registrers have been digitised and indexed online since 2009, but yesterday the National Library of Ireland have put the microfilm of the of the Catholic Church Registers (pre 1900) for the whole country online. So where we had the information previously, we can now go and see the original entry in the parish registers.

There are four Registration Books for the Millstreet Parish (click the links below to see each one):
