Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Report 1193 from Millstreet. Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the best on this cold,Tuesday morning with a hint of snow and frost on the ground.

Our new Bishop Ray Browne paid an extended visit to our parish over the weekend. Said Mass in all the churches,including  Dromtarriffe. It was his first trip and people everywhere went to greet and welcome him as our New Bishop of Kerry.

He was very impressed by the beautiful Church that we have here in Millstreet and complimented the people for the way they took on the four million project in the first place. And for the way they continue to pay for it with their weekly contributions.Our Community singers sang at the Vigil Mass and Our Parish Choir attended the 11.30 Mass on Sunday.

Sean Radley was busy with his camera taking pictures of Bishop Browne  and his people, which are the website for all to see.

A Day on Clara Hill

A light cover of snow lay on the mountain and the air had a wintery chill
And the cold damp winds of Winter blew across Clara hill
As we climbed up towards the wooden cross Jerry and John Mahony, Donal Hickey and I
A memory to remember until the day I die.

The Mahonys had their working dog Sandy with them and Donal had Jerry his cattle dog
And the climb up through the snow clad bracken for Schoolboys a hard old slog
The dogs bored without a fox or hare to chase suddenly commenced to fight
For Jerry a bloodless victory though not a pretty sight.

We climbed to the cross on Clara hill overlooking Millstreet Town
The uphill journey it was [read more …] “A Day on Clara Hill”

Millstreet Athletic Club News

Our athletes braved terrible weather conditions on Sunday last at Castlelyons to compete at the Munster Cross Country Championships.  It was a true test to their ability as the heavy rain never let up and the course was completely cover with mud making it really hard to get going.
Donal Bourke just missed out on a medal for the Cork team by finishing 7th for the team but he has qualified to run the All-Ireland Championships in Waterford in December.  We are very proud of him to be wearing the Millstreet A.C singlet at such a high level and we wish him all the best.
The club was also represented at Castlelyons by Emily Ring, Sarah Bourke, Orla Buckley, Ian Buckley, Daniel Buckley, James Buckley, Ian Buckley and Eanna O’Mahony.  While they didn’t bring home any medals they will all go forward to running in the Munster “B” Championship at Beaufort on 1st December next and we look forward to this event.
