LTV2 Millstreet Programme 223 (Number 3 0f 2013/2014 Season)
Programme 223 which was broadcast last night Thursday 28 November is now online. You can now watch our Third Programme of the New Season right here at millstreet.ie or on the LTV2 Facebook Page and… this Programme will be repeated next Sunday Evening December 1 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 1194 – 26th November 2013
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Report 1194 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this cold and seasonal Tuesday morning.
It’s a sad one in Millstreet as we mourn the untimely passing of Sheila Sherlock. That angelic lady who worked tirelessly for all those around her. Our sincere sympathy goes out to her daughters Anita and Catherine, her son Derry and her sister,Mary Dennehy, her employer Michael Moynighan TD, all the personel at her beloved Glen Theatre, our St.Vincent de Paul, and all the countless groups and committees that she was part of. May her gentle soul rest in Peace. May she now reap the reward in Heaven, for which she toiled.
The Mass in our Church on Thursday last in honour of Nano Nagle was beautiful. Great crowds turned out to pay homage to her. The Children from our National Schools attended and their beautiful singing and music filled the air.
On Saturday night the Vigil Mass was said for all those people of the parish who passed away in 2013. The Parish Choir attended and a great crowd came to take part.
Wallis Arms Booklet from the 1960s
Many thanks to Kevin McDermott who sent us a photo of the front page of a historic Wallis Arms Hotel booklet from the 1960s (click the photo for full size)
The hotel boasts that it can arrange Car Hire – Messages and Telegrams – Newspapers and Packed Lunches.
The Wallis Arms remained much the same until about ten years ago when the Sheehan family took over the ownership of the hotel.
A copy of the booklet is already in the archives of Millstreet Museum.
