American Author visiting Millstreet this week

A very welcome visitor to Millstreet this week is American author and blogger of Irish descent, Rebekah Ruth. She is visiting the “real” Irish town that inspired the setting for her first novel Where the Pink Houses Are. Released in 2011, the novel took place in the fictional “Millway” where the author’s ability to conjure up the scenes were based on good old-fashioned imagination, and a bit of Google.

In her first trip to Ireland, Ruth intends to use her visit to Millstreet to follow where the first story left off and launch, in earnest, her second novel. She is thrilled to be staying in one of Millstreet’s gracious B&B’s; a home base for her visit this July. “I will actually be able to infuse the real town into my book. I will have a feel for the “personality” of the place. It will still be fiction. But it will feel so much more real to me…and hopefully to my readers!” says Ruth. A full description of her decision to make this first trip to Ireland is in her blog post from last May. [read more …] “American Author visiting Millstreet this week”

Eily Buckley

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to News Report 1175 from Millstreet.Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this glorious Tuesday morning.

Well it’s all over and it will go down in History as one of our finest achievements. The Four day Gathering Festival was an outstanding success,to put it mildly. I suppose the first one to thank is God himself for sending the beautiful weather which brought every body young and old out to get the feel of the warm sun and to take part.

Over 20 events took place over the four days and each just as good as the one before it. Our website is full of pictures telling the full story of it all. One event which was not on the list was the All Ireland Fishing Championships which brought fishermen from the four provinces. The top prize going to Ulster.
