Where the Road Takes Me – King Mahon’s Rock – Documentary on C103 Now Until 8pm
John Greene presenter of the ‘Where the road takes me’ programme on our local radio station C103, has recorded a feature on the local landmark “King Mahon’s Rock”, which includes amongst others interviews with Kilcorney and Millstreet people.
King Mahon’s Rock is where Brian Boru’s older brother King Mahon was killed in 975 AD, which led to Brian Boru becoming King of Munster, and later High King of Ireland. A monument is to be unveiled at the spot this year for the 1,000th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf.
King Mahon’s Rock is located on the side of Mushera, near the highest point of the Butter Road to Cork from Millstreet.
The programme goes to air next Sunday April 6th at 7pm, on C103 FM, and can also be heard online at c103.ie

LTV2 Millstreet Programme 237 is now online right here on millstreet.ie and on the LTV2 Facebook Page or you can tune in on your TV Screen this Thurs Evening April 3 at 10.00pm with a Repeat Showing of this Programme being aired next Sunday Evening April 6 at 8.00pm
To receive reception one needs to retune analogue settings (available in menu “settings”). When scanning is complete one will now have the new channel – either UHF Channel 30 or UHF Channel 35 (or both in certain areas of Millstreet). All this depends on how strong the signal is in any given area. The UHF Channel 30 signal comes from the Carriganima direction whereas the UHF Channel 35 signal comes from the western side of Millstreet Town. This is now saved and is presently transmitting the EWTN (Religious) Channel.

Regional Report 2012 – 1st April 2014
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.
