And Sincere Thanks To You, Michael – Website Coordinator Supreme
What a wonderful post to view on New Year’s Day 2014 in which Michael Cashman, our Millstreet Website Coordinator Supreme, has acknowledged and expressed heartfelt thanks to the mighty Team involved in helping to make  our Millstreet Website the great success it has become.  But, Michael, without you we could not have come near what has been achieved.  With your amazing Search Engine you have enlightened us all with news and stories about which we would never have heard.   It has been said that we have one of the very best websites one could find and it’s indeed uplifting to hear this.  It has reached these heights because of the constant new developments which you have  introduced such as the facility to link to relevant television programmes, the inclusion of the very informative Twitter feature and the use of the random photos, the comment line and noting the most popular posts at any one time…to mention but a few of the innovations which you have so very professionally brought to reality.   As a Team and on behalf of the many Loyal Visitors to www.millstreet.ie we extend sincere thanks to you, Michael, not only for your superb expertise, consistent kindness in correcting any website problems so quickly and efficiently but for doing all this on a completely voluntary basis and in such a cheerful manner.  MÃle, mÃle buÃochas is rath Dé ar an obair iontach.  Happy New Year to Everyone!   (S.R.)
Happy New Year
As 2013 has come to a close, we’d just like to thank everyone that helped us in any way during the year to make Millstreet.ie what it is today, from Seán who is irreplaceable with his camera, Hannelie who is always there in the background, Eily with her Regional Report, Sharon with the Parish Newsletter, Francis for his memories, the local clubs for their updates, those that pass onto us history that would otherwise be lost but who prefer to remain anonymous, to everyone else that sent us articles, photos, or shared information with us during the past year, and to all those who simply visited the site from near and far and continue to stay connected with Millstreet. We’d be a little bit less without any one of ye.
Wishing everyone the very best for you and yours in 2014.

Tom Radley at his Forge in the Square
A really wonderful audio clip has come to light recently, of Tom Radley who owned and ran the Forge in the corner of the Square, Millstreet until the 1980s.
It contains his nephew Seán Radley interviewing Tom Jack back in the 1970s, and this short audio recording gives a taste of life in a forge. The Millstreet accent is strong and rich in this one.
Click here to listen to the recording.
Pictured right is a photo taken outside the Forge in the Square, Millstreet back in the 1970s, where blacksmith Tom Radley had just completed placing four shoes on Dan Hallissey’s donkey (Dan lived in Coole/Drishanebeg).
Radleys Engineering, who built the Spire in Dublin (with John & Tommy as Directors), have their roots in this forge.
Below are three further photos of Tom in his forge, taken in the 1980s.
Click on the photos to see them in full size and click at the very start of the black audio bar below to hear the recording while observing the pictures.
The photo of Tom & Jack outside the forge, with the audio was stumbled upon recently, when they were put online by historian John Tierney. We’d like to thank the Radley family for [read more …] “Tom Radley at his Forge in the Square”
