Sincere Thanks to Excellent Ambulance Crew
Recently received from a loyal follower of our website:
“I just have to say a big thank you to the excellent Ambulance Crew last Thursday night, 19th February ( approx. 11pm) for the care and expertise they showed to a very sick friend of mine on route to the Mercy Hospital Cork. I won’t mention any names and I don’t know the two boys on duty on the night in question, but in these austere times of constant cutbacks and overstretched health services, I want to acknowledge their wonderful work and the professional service they provide to the Millstreet area.”

Bus Fund Going in the Right Direction
A night of wonderful community spirit was on display in Carriganima matched only by an equally wonderful array of items for sale. A Charity Auction in aid of C.A.R.T. (Carriganima Area Rural Transport) was held on February 21st last with bidders a plenty and their generosity was guaranteed on the wide variety of items and services which were up for grabs.
Killian Lynch as auctioneer for the evening was outstanding and insured that all lots went to a good home both near and far. It has to be noted the event had an excellent selection of items too numerous list but all who donated in any way have the gratitude of the Committee who work endlessly to make the event a smooth running event. At the end of the night sports lovers , animal lovers and buyers who value their community went home happy in the knowledge that their efforts made a huge difference to the community. All money raised on the night will go towards the purchase of a bus to transport people for shopping, doctors appointments, collection of prescriptions etc.
C.A.R.T. will continue the weekly bus trips to Macroom on Tuesdays and weekly cards on Sunday nights.
