Open Morning this Friday 25 October at the E Centre Millstreet (10:00 – 12:00)
Cork Educational and Training Board promotes and co-ordinates community education programmes , the programmes are based locally and are tailored to meet people’s needs. Adult and Community Education encourages dialogue and values life experience. What is perhaps most important is that the education system now allows for life-long learning and this can include accreditation or non-accreditation.
The taster programmes involve a blend of the practical and the creative. These programmes are suited to those who wish to return to training ,those who want to access further education or employment. Tasters provide a way of testing the waters as it were. The Open Morning will be held this Friday 25 October at the E Centre Millstreet (10:00 – 12:00). This is an opportunity to discuss various options.
The taster course is 4weeks long; 3 sessions per week 9.30 -12.30 and will be held in the E centre, Millstreet, these courses might include: Communications, CV and Interview Techniques; Sewing /Alterations; Creative Writing; Music Appreciation; Drama; IT.
Everyone Welcome. We thank Veronica for this important notice. (S.R.)

The Deceased Characters Of Millstreet Parish
The deceased characters of Millstreet Parish amongst the dead may lay
But in Duhallow around the Cork and Kerry border memories of them live today
Distinctive individuals they had ways of their own
And as characters in their own lifetimes they were loved and well known
A beloved character of Millstreet Town the well liked Jerry Shea
And one can truly say of him a big man in every way
He was such fun with a few beers in laughter he did provoke
And it truly can be said of him that he was a good bloke
For Michael Murphy better known as ‘Mick Punk’ one must go back in time
To more than fifty years ago long before i reached my prime
