Book: The Graves at Kilmorna – A Story of ’67

2013-09-24 Book - The Graves of Kilnamorna - Front Page-800This is the 100th anniversary of the death of the great novelist, Canon Sheehan, and the Aubane Historical Society is celebrating it by republishing his last novel, “The Graves at Kilmorna – A Story of ’67” (296pp. ISBN 978-1-903497-78-4.)

It is a novel of the Fenian Rising of 1867 and of the subsequent decline of principled political national life in Ireland under the influence of the Home Rule Party. The central figure of the novel, a Fenian veteran, is killed by a Parliamentary mob for raising Fenian principles at an election meeting.

Canon Sheehan (1852-1913) completed the novel shortly before his death. It was published the following year, 1914, when the Home Rule Bill was being formally enacted by Parliament but was set aside in fact and the Home Rule leaders were recruiting Irish cannon fodder for the British war on Germany and [read more …] “Book: The Graves at Kilmorna – A Story of ’67”

A Fellow From Millstreet

Wherever i go to my past follows me
And a fellow from Millstreet is all i can be
From Claraghatlea in view of Clara Hill overlooking Claramore
In sky miles far north of this southern shore
The tag of the migrant to me may apply
But my heritage to anyone i never deny
And though far south of Claraghatlea i may live my last day
The memories of what used to be with me stay
Where mine to many was a well known face [read more …] “A Fellow From Millstreet”

Regional Report 1185 – 17th September 2013

Eily Buckley

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1185 from Millstreet.Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this rather wet and windy Tuesday Morning.

The weather proved a real spoilsport to many outdoor events at the weekend. On Sunday The car boot Sale organised by our Los Zarcos Football Club had to be cancelled, and the street markets in Rathmore also fell victim to the elements.

Following our great success in the Tidy towns competition our Town is going through major changes. The town Square is all cordoned off  while some fine enhancing features are being added. This project will take until November to complete and drawings of the plan are on show in many places around the town and on the website. [read more …] “Regional Report 1185 – 17th September 2013”
