Hopefully when he has more time he will take the fuller tour of Millstreet and become more acquainted with its rich history, culture and, above all, its people. Everyone wished Bishop Ray every success and fulfilment in his new role as Bishop of Kerry. Here we share further images of Sunday’s [read more …] “Bishop Ray Browne Meets With the People of Millstreet”

To receive reception on your Television 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. [read more …] “LTV2 Millstreet:Programme 221 (Number 1 of 2013/2014 Season) Now Online”
