Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the best on this cold and wintry Tuesday morning, with a blanket of beautiful snow on the ground.
The Month of March is upon us and is living up to its name of being as wild as a March Hare. The light blanket of snow our our roads on Monday morning caused lots of minor mishaps,though the highway at Ceim was blocked for a while when a big lorry jack-knifed on the hill, however nothing serious was reported. Extreme caution is advised during this cold snap which is said to be short-lived.
Our annual March Fair was badly hampered by bad weather on Sunday. The crowds and the number of stalls were the smallest ever as well as the number of horses at the sales area in the Fair Field. The cold sleety showers made it clear to many that the out of doors was to be avoided. [read more …] “Regional Report 1256 – 3rd March 2015”

The aim is to travel the entire 105 miles of the River Blackwater from the Source to the Sea. The team of five undertaking the journey includes David O Keeffe, John Murt, Daniel Hickey, Danny Dillane and Denis Rahilly. The six day trip will begin, weather permitting on Monday the 23rd of March and finish at the Quays in Youghal at midday Saturday the 28th. The journey will commence with a six mile walk from the source at Muinganine to Ballydesmond Village and from here the kayaks will be used to paddle to Knocknagree. The canadian canoe will be waiting here loaded with supplies and the necessary camping and cooking equipment for the rest of the excursion. The next five days will be spent journeying the river through Kerry, Cork and Waterford with various stops along the way. It is all being done to raise awareness and funds for The BUMBLEance – Children’s Ambulance Service.

“Sing what’s gone so it won’t be.”
This is not a story about losing someone, but the bit afterwards when they’ve just been lost.
It’s not CSI, but it is a kind of forensics; a putting together of memories to try and make sense of it all. Who was he to you? Who was he to your mother? Who was he to his mother?
It’s about family, it’s about love in the absence of the loved one. It happens to us all, and it doesn’t unhappen; but you can come and share the story so it won’t be forgotten.

Hi, I am returning to Ireland to work in March 2015. I am originally from Millstreet and I am looking to find a property for short term (a couple of weeks) to medium term (a couple of months) to rent. Ideally the property would be in Millstreet town, clean, furnished and with 1-2 bedrooms. Can anyone help? It may be of interest to someone with a vacant property that is for sale and wishes to make an income form it in the meantime.
Thank you
Tony (pabroderick@hotmail.com)
