Regional Report 1197 – 17th December 2013
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News report 1197 from Millstreet.
Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this cold and wintery Tuesday morning. With a touch of snow on the ground and a red horizon all round. Beautiful.
Inclement weather proved a real spoilsport of our Big moment of turning on the Christmas Lights on Friday evening.
A fine program of School children singers as well as our Community singing group was planned, but the high winds and heavy rains soon put a stop to it.
However a great time was still had by all in Aubane, with their Christmas Mass and party. And this was followed by the turning on of the Lights at the Pub in Carriganima. The Community singers attended and their entertainment was very well received. [read more …] “Regional Report 1197 – 17th December 2013”
Donagh heads up redevelopment of Scotland Yard

Christmas Spirit in Carriganima & Great Generosity to Website
The very generous patrons of The Pub in Carriganima with coordinator Seán Murphy presented €100.00 to the Millstreet Website Team to assist in defraying operating costs of the community website where the Team volunteers to upload news and pictures on a daily basis. I accepted the presentation on behalf of the Millstreet Website Team. The atmosphere in Carriganima for the official turning on of the Christmas Lights was truly “electric” with the magnificent participation of Millstreet Community Singers. Lots more pics later including news on the marvellous €2,000.00 fundraised by the amazing “Movember” Group. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
