John Twomey Of Laharn
I have heard through the grapevine that he is doing okay
John Twomey of Laharn for the Aubane Gaelic Football Club he used to play
When he was a younger man in his life’s prime
Before the Aubane Club fell victim to the passing of time
John Twomey the fellow who does laugh at life
I hear he has school going children and a wife
To support on his farm in the shadows of Mushera above Millstreet Town
Where the undulating road to Kilcorney does wind up and down [read more …] “John Twomey Of Laharn”

by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1253 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely calm cold Tuesday morning.
There is a real feeling of Spring in the Air, with cattle out in many fields grazing the early lush grass that grew in the mild weeks of January. Spring Lambs can be seen bouncing around their caring mothers, and even a few early daffodils are peeping out. All telling us that Spring is here and can Summer be far behind.

2016 General Election Campaign, Independent Candidate LOOKING FOR SUPPORT
Woodland Drive,
Millstreet,
Co. Cork
Tel: 0870674520
Date: 14/02/15
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m writing to you In relation to the possibility of putting my name forward as an Independent Candidate for the 2016 General Election.
My name is Steven O’ Riordan and I’m a member of Millstreet Macra. I’m the brother of disability activist Joanne O’ Riordan who was born without limbs. My background is in the Arts and my political interests are social and human rights issues.
I’m currently looking for help in mounting a campaign that would result in taking a seat within the Cork North West area.
The campaign would be run on a number of issues, these include; Disability, Young People, Urban V Rural Ireland, Dail Reform, Immigrants, Sport & The Arts.
I’m probably best known for my work on the issue of the Magdalene Laundries and my most recent documentary “No Limbs No Limits” The Joanne O’ Riordan. I was a key figure in securing the state apology for the women of the Magdalene Laundries. Over the years I have also used my ability to ensure that people with disabilities live in a society that is inclusive. You can see this in my local area where I was successful in getting the County Council to make all public buildings & footpaths wheelchair accessible.
I believe that the time is right to put [read more …] “2016 General Election Campaign, Independent Candidate LOOKING FOR SUPPORT”

*** Indicates Not a nun. There are three burials in the nuns plot that are nuns, and these are:
- Michael McGrath was the wonderfully popular Gardener for decades in Drishane and he was buried in the Nuns’ Cemetery …. not along the main row…more nearer the hedge. I remember him from my youth. – S.R.
- Mary Teehan was a Dublin woman who was a nun for a number of years. She left the order and worked in the Catholic Communications Institute in Booterstown, Dublin. She used to come to Drishane every year for her holidays. She was immensely popular with everyone and some of the nuns used call her “Lady May”. It was her desire always, to be buried in Drishane. – L.F.
- Marta del Valle was from Puerto Rico. She died in Texas. Her sister is an Infant Jesus Sister in Ballymun, Dublin where she runs the Aisling Project for disadvantaged children. Possibly her ashes are interred here in Drishane? Here is her obituary: Marta Rosa del Valle, 59, passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, March 15, 2013. Service: Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. Tuesday, St. Francis of Assisi in Grapevine, Texas. Visitation: 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Lucas Funeral Home, 701 W. Wall St., Grapevine, with rosary at 7 p.m. Marta was born June 12, 1953, in Puerto Rico to Jose del Valle and Dolores Garcia. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Quico del Valle. Survivors: Her sister, Magdalena del Valle (infant Jesus sister); nephews, Rafael del Valle and wife, Danni, and Sergio del Valle.
(An article on Sr Malen del Valle is included below) - John Whooley (July 7th 1898 at Enniskeane – March 20th 1956 at Nazareth House) was a ploughman/gardener from Courtmacsherry (?or Enniskeane) who worked in Drishane for many years.The Drishane sisters maintain his grave which is in the second row of graves to the right inside the main gate. Its the third grave, about a metre wide by two metres long. [1901] [1911]

Sr. Malen del Valle IJS
On 18th April 2012 Sr. Malen del Valle IJS was presented with this award in recognition of her work with the Aisling Project, which supports young people’s education through its innovative after-school programmes in Ballymun. “Magdalena del Valle (abbreviated to Malen) was born in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico in the Caribbean Islands. She grew up in a family of four, with two brothers and a sister and as a child enjoyed swimming, basketball and scout activities. She attended the Sacred Heart Convent School and enjoys meeting up with friends when she revisits her homeland.
At age seventeen Magdalena moved to Spain to live with her grandmother and to attend university. While there she came into contact with the Infant Jesus Sisters and, following graduation, joined the Infant Jesus Sisters taking the name Sister Malen. The next few years were spent teaching in Madrid, working as a School Principal in Bembibre, a mining town in the north of Spain, and subsequently running an after-school project in Barcelona. Sr. Malen then moved to Liverpool where she worked with a young team in collaboration with the Christian Brothers and ran retreats for secondary school students. Some years later she came to Ireland and started a similar project ‘Challenge for Life’. This work involved running retreats in schools all over Ireland.
In 1997, during a parish mission in Ballymun, one of the Principals of St. Joseph’s School asked Sr. Malen to initiate a service for local children who had dropped out of school. The Aisling Project began in a flat provided by Dublin City Council. It was prepared by volunteers and furnished by generous donations.
There are now five individual Projects operating in Ballymun. The main aims of the Aisling Project are to prevent early school leaving, to benefit the
community and to advance education by running an after-school intervention project for children at risk. This intervention provides purposeful activity including drama, music and swimming. The projects
take place Monday to Thursday 2.30pm to 6.00pm with a full three-week Summer Project during the month of July each year. The programme is
designed around the interests, needs and learning of the young people involved in the project.”
In her acceptance speech Malen paid tribute to all who have made this Aisling project possible over the years. [ijs]

Steven O’Riordan to run for the Dáil
The best of luck to Steven O’Riordan, who will run as an Independent in the forthcoming General Election (due by April 2016), and who is hoping to take a seat in our three-seat Cork North West constituency.
Steven said the policies of both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael parties “simply do not work”, that he wants to “give something back” to the people who have helped his family over the years, and “I want people to be proud of the TDs they elect. The people of Cork North West and Ireland deserve better.”
