by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 2012 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely Spring Morning.
Last Friday was Daffodil Day and collections were made in aid of Irish Cancer Society, with outstanding results.
Collectors in the town brought in €3,370, and the Coffee morning at the GAA Hall yielded €845.
The organisers would like to say a sincere word of thanks to all those who support their efforts in any way. And our full admiration goes to the organisers themselves.
And Mother’s Day went on for the whole weekend 🙂
To-day is the First of April and April is full of things to do, the long evenings giving more daylight hours.

Regional Report 2011 – 25th March 2014
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to news report 2011 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this rather wet but mild Tuesday morning.
All those who were involved with the staging of “Who Wants to be a Thousand-aire”, can justly take a bow. The GAA Hall was packed on Friday night and the excitement was high. It being a first for most, there was widespread interest as to how it all would go. But careful planning and real dedication meant everything was all right on the night. And as well as being a most enjoyable event, it raised in excess of €20,000 for the local GAA fund and at the same time made a donation to our local hospital. Many congratulations to all concerned.

– The monitoring station has been in operation there since 1986.
On average we’d get about 1500mm of rain in Millstreet Town every year, and higher still the closer you get to [read more …] “Record Rainfall over Winter”
