Regional Report 1234 – 9th September 2014
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1234 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this delightful calm, misty, autumn morning.
The untimely sudden death of popular 39 year old Connie Hickey, formerly of Main Street came as a great shock to all his family of six brothers, extended family and community members last week. The huge turnout at his removal and requiem was proof of how popular he was. Guards of honour were drawn from numerous sporting clubs, work places, and even the great Avonmore Electrical factory remained closed on the day of his funeral.
Fitting gestures to Connie who was so much part of what we are. May God console his grieving family and give the soul of gentle Connie eternal rest.

Asthma Clinic in Mulcahy’s Pharmacy from 11am-5pm on Thursday
The most recent statistics from the CSO indicate that 10% of people in Munster have asthma. This figure is almost double that in children under the age of 14 years, with 19% of children in Tipperary, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick and Waterford suffering from the condition. Asthma is a serious condition which affects patients’ quality of life and can result in hospitalisation or, in the worst cases, death.
Attendees at the Asthma Clinic will have their asthma management reviewed, their inhaler technique checked and their lung function tested. Asthma Specialist Nurses will be on hand to answer questions and give expert advice during a confidential, one to one consultation. Topics covered on the day will include asthma advice for children and adults, allergy avoidance and what to do during an asthma attack.” Click on the Poster to enlarge. (S.R.)

Regional Report 1233
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1233 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely Tuesday morning.
Our weekend was full of excitement with the launch of the Mighty Cork 20 Car Rally on Friday night. It was centred at the Wallis Arms Hotel, where the official launch took place. And for a second year running the Cork 20 Car Rally will be held in Millstreet on October 3rd to 5th, based at the Green Glens Arena. Details of this year’s route will not be made until shortly before the event.
On Sunday the air was electric when our Junior Football Team captured the Duhallow title, beating Knocknagree. Celebrations went on until late on Sunday night and our heartiest congratulations go out to all involved.
