This dog has been here almost two weeks. He is wearing a red collar and has a very short twine which appears chewed. He is quite friendly. They can’t keep him as they already have another dog. If the dog’s owner does not come forward he will be delighted with a good home. Please contact 087 2479333.

Television Signal Update
On numerous occasions we’ve been asked “How does one get the signal for Local Television?” or “How come we’ve lost the signal we used to receive?” As we know, Dan Joe Kelleher of Carriganima has been an amazing pioneer in the world of providing local television for almost thirty years. In fact, so impressed was RTÉ radio producer, Ronan Kelly, with what Dan Joe had achieved that he made an excellent Radio Documentary in 2006 entitled “Dan Joe’s TV Station” – This can be accessed on the “Doc On One” section of the RTÉ website:
http://www.rte.ie/radio1/doconone/documentary-podcast-pirate-tv-macroom-cork-dan-joe.html
Dan Joe would wish as many as possible to receive the Local Television signal as possible. I accompanied him this evening as we tested where the signal can be obtained. Brendan Murphy and Dan Joe recently travelled even much further to determine the strength of the signal mainly in the Duhallow area.
Here are our findings: Presently it is possible to receive the Local Channel which is currently streaming the EWTN Channel on analogue Channel 30 UHF. Before one considers putting in place a Group A UHF aerial one should find out how good the strength of the signal is in their area. That same aerial further perfects the Saorview signal.
Areas we noted demonstrating strong signals included much of Millstreet Town, Cullen, Boherbue and much of the area between Millstreet and [read more …] “Television Signal Update”
Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade approved
It has been announced that design proposals for the Millstreet Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrade have been approved at Government level, and that Cork County Council will now proceed with preparing contract documents with a view to seeking tenders as soon as possible. The contract is estimated at a cost of €4.1, and it is expected that it will make the Millstreet plant compliant with the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.
The upgrade was called for in a 2010 survey on all urban treatment plants in the country. The following measures needed to be completed:
- Increase capacity of treatment plant (2015+)
- Provide tertiary treatment or relocate outfall (2015+)
- Provide nutrient removal or relocate outfall

Death Notice: Martin Desmond, Crinaloo

Clara, Caherbarnagh and the Paps
At the start of July mountaineer Stephen McAulliffe from Banteer trekked from Millstreet train station over Clara, Caherbarnagh, the Paps and onto Rathmore. Blessed with lovely weather, he’s written down his trek in his blog, along with some stunning photographs.
“… By the “Grotto” you turn left and enter a magical little shady lane that rises steadily through woodland. After a while a right turn takes you through some fir trees and then an open trail traverses the slope and offers great views eastward to Mushera and beyond to my home patch of Mt Hillary. There is more than a grain of truth in the saying that Ireland, when the sun shines is one of the most beautiful places on earth and today it was living up to its billing. The problem is getting the sun to shine. Soon you enter the open mountain and it doesn’t take long to reach the summit at 452 meters. There are some masts on the top but it is easy to ignore these as the whole of north Cork and Kerry is laid out below you. It is a great spot to rest a while and soak up the views and sunshine…” Read the full article with photos on the HowlingMist blog
