‘Rural Hackney Licence’ ideal for community groups
Community groups in isolated areas are being encouraged to start applying for the newly introduced: ‘Local Area Hackney License’ or ‘Rural Hackney’ license.
The licence, which is designed to facilitate low-cost entry into the taxi sector for isolated rural areas, will cost just €70 between the vehicle and drivers’ licence and will be introduced on a pilot basis.
Welcoming the move Áine Collins TD said “This is a welcome move by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport to start to address the transport difficulties that rural communities face.

Regional Report 1201 – 14th January 2014

Eily Buckley
Dia is Mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Report 1201 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this cold, wet, and calm Tuesday morning.
Everything is fast returning to normal following the Christmas break. The annual New Year Day dip in the Blackwater is still on hold due to weather conditions, but other than that all voluntary bodies are getting ready to swing back into action and do their best for our community in the year ahead.
Fr Tom O’Flynn CM (1915-1984)
Even as I write, more than six months after his unexpected taking from among us, it is difficult to think of Fr Tom O’Flynn as of someone who is dead. Though his appointments during the latter half of his priestly life required him to live outside the community, he was always punctilious about keeping in touch, regularly visiting the house to which he was formally attached whether it was the old St Joseph’s on Temple Road, Blackrock or the new one at Stillorgan Park. Then, of course, he “breezed in” to the other houses making some provocative statement and galvanising a sometimes jaded community into life. Perhaps this is the same as saying that he was life-enhancing.
Tom O, as he was affectionately known among his confrères, was born in Millstreet, Co. Cork and, though he spent most of his life in the Dublin area, there was a sense in which he never left it. This was largely due to his devotion to his family. But those of us who lived close to him in his earlier years heard a good deal about the Presentation Convent in Millstreet and the nuns in Drishane, and also about the local citizenry. And there was the famous occasion — I think it was at the end of the war — when Tom O, bewailing the rise in [read more …] “Fr Tom O’Flynn CM (1915-1984)”

LTV Transmission Tonight Will Focus on Aubane and Boherbue
Thanks to the dedication of Dan Joe Kelleher of LTV vital repairs were carried out over the past few days to restore the LTV UHF signal on Channels 30 and 35. Two separate faults were corrected and thankfully we now have a perfect signal again. Thank you, Dan Joe, for your inspiring hard work over these days in restoring the signal in time for tonight’s transmission at 10.00 when we have the programme which was intended to be broadcast last week but due to the stormy weather could not be transmitted. So Thursday’s broadcast includes a variety of excerpts from various past programmes beginning with a visit in 2004 to “The Rambling House” in Boherbue where hopefully we shall get to see one of the very best recordings ever of the traditional “Brush Dance”. And we finish with a delightful “Round the Fireside in Aubane” feature recorded in 1998 at the home of a French Family who have been coming on an annual basis to this wonderful holiday home in Aubane, Millstreet and who are most interested and proficient in Irish and Breton traditional music. Happy viewing! (S.R.)

Capital Scenes 2014

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Report 1199 from Millstreet .
And welcome also to the New Year 2014. I hope you had a great Christmas and are in the better of it.
The weather did act as a bit of a spoil sport, but it didn’t stop a lot of enjoyable functions going ahead just the same.
Our Church services were a joy with our lovely Church warm and bright for the capacity crowds that attended. And the Parish Choir singing the beautiful Christmas hymns that have been sung since the very first Christmas, and the Birth of Our Lord.
There was a marked increase in the numbers of our young people home from Australia and other places. And the folks at home hung on to their every word as they gave their account of what life is like away from home.
And it was gratifying to hear that most of them intend to return when they have sown their wild oats and when things improve here. We pray it won’t be long.
