Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to news report 1207 from Millstreet . Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this cold and wintery Tuesday morning.
First of all I want to say a very sincere word of thanks to Sean Radley for stepping in for me last week when I was down with the dreaded flu. But TG it passes and I’m well again.
Sean was very busy last week because as well as filling in for me, it was his turn to edit the program for LTV2 and his efforts received great praise for the wide range of features that he included. So well done all round
Sean.
Please be reminded that on Wednesday and Thursdays nights new programs for LTV will be on your screens. And it is gratifying to know that more and more people are making the effort to tune in their sets in order to receive it.
Sunday evenings are a joy with local TV both from Macroom and Millstreet beginning at five o’clock. Just the thing to block the wet and stormy weather.
And here are 42 more pictures recalling the very enjoyable [read more …] “Rathcoole Playschool Children Attend “The Gruffalo” at Cork Opera House”
