Seán Radley informed us that this shop used to be open in Dublin, and over the years he has purchased most of the photos for the Millstreet Museum collection.

Liam’s aunt Margaret Leahy married Joseph Kennedy in 1929, a guard in Cork who’s father William Kennedy was in the RIC in Rathcoole. Their son became a Franciscan in Cork and took the name Fr. Sepharin Kennedy. It was he who officiated at Liam’s final mass.
Fr. Sepharin himself passed less than a year later on February 11th 2014, aged 82. He had been a missionary in South Africa before returning to Ireland in 1970’s.

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to news Report 1177 from Millstreet.Fondest Greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best as we are enjoying some very welcome rain here in Millstreet this Tuesday morning.
One of the nicest things that was held here last week was the Station Mass at the home of Domnic and Kathryn Cronin, for Liscahane, Mount Leader and Geararoe. Canon John celebrated the Mass. A very large crowd attended and it was all held out of doors in brilliant weather.
The evening sun shone across the valley lighting up all the beauty spots along the way. Following the Mass the people sat around and chatted and enjoyed some wonderful refreshments, while the sun went down like a ball of fire. The Station Mass was said to coincide with their son Adrian’s trip home from Australia. He returns there in the near future and will have a wealth of happy memories of his holiday.

During this amazing Summer Millstreet Town Park is such a wonderful hive of activity for such a variety of sports. Walking in the Town Park on Saturday evening people were most impressed by the “Olympic” style level of fitness demonstrated by the cousin of Dominik Firek – Daniel Biernat, a 19 year old student who is visiting from Poland. Daniel, who just happened to be fitness training there must undoubtedly be a potential Polish representative in a future Olympics. A cool ice-cream cone was well deserved! Congratulations to Daniel and Dominik for giving such splendid fitness example. As this amazing level of athletic capability requires expert guided training we certainly advise not to try these incredible moves at home! (S.R.)

We were blessed with good weather and very appreciative of the help and assistance from across the community.
It really was a Community Gathering for both young and old and we hope that our families, friends and visitors enjoyed the four days of events.
We would also like to take this opportunity to wish the other communities in the Duhallow region who are hosting events that they also have a safe and successful celebration.

“Willowbrook – a flawed Eden. A memoir of growing up in Millstreet, Co. Cork” by Jim O’Brien is the latest publication from the Aubane Historical Society.
The author was evacuated with his brothers from London during WWII and they were sent to live with their aunts at Willowbrook House in Cloghboolabeg.
He paints a very vivid picture of his experiences at the house, of the people who owned and lived there and of those who worked there. He also gives entertaining pen-pictures of the local ‘characters’ he got to know. He describes them ‘warts and all’ and they are thereby made unforgettable.
Like all good stories it operates at many levels – the story of children separated from their parents and the effects this had on both; the issue of property relations within families and its consequences for individual members, particularly women; the relations between men and women, sexual and otherwise; the relations between adults and children; the class distinctions that were prevalent at the time and the consequences of this.
All the farm activities are well described with the attendant social activities that brought people together and showed the [read more …] “Willowbrook – a flawed Eden. A memoir of growing up in Millstreet”
