Delighted to report that although we were concerned that with the ending of the analogue system on Wednesday, 24th October 2012, the change might affect the Television signal which transmits Church Services – it now appears that the signal is unaffected and therefore the Church Signal Transmissions should continue as before. This is the current position but it may change if extra restrictions emerge regarding the use of the analogue system which is likely to be used in other ways now that its use in national television broadcasting has changed. We shall keep you updated if any changes to the Millstreet Church Signal occur. (S.R.)

Connie Kelly And Morty Cronin
In my flights of fancy the memories come back
To me of when Connie Kelly the dog man ran the Millstreet dog track
And Morty Cronin the hare driver drove the lure around
May they rest in peace now in dead people’s ground.
The last men to run the Millstreet greyhound trial track to the reaper have gone
The well known and well loved characters Morty and Con
The Millstreet greyhound trial track is now a thing of the past
And only the memories of what was does last.

Noreen Murphy
Of years of life she did live a lengthy span
Noreen Murphy the wife of the late Johnny Dan
Loved by all of the people to whom she was known
Of her one can say one of Millstreet’s own
One of the Hickeys of the old Town of Millstreet
As nice a person as one could wish for to meet
A good mother to her children and to her husband Johnny a good wife
In Inchaleigh she lived for most of her life

Funding needed for Millstreet Convent National School urgently
Millstreet Convent National School is in urgent need of three new classrooms and the Government needs to immediately deal with an application from the school for support.
Cork North West Deputy Michael Moynihan raised the issue during a special debate in the Dáil today.
He commented: “The school population of Millstreet Convent National School has shot up in recent years and the school is full to capacity. Last year there were 218 enrollments, with 244 this year, it is expected to rise even further in the coming years. There is an urgent need for a new classroom and two learning support rooms. The Board of Management of the school have applied for Capital Funding but with the new school year already well underway, this process cannot be delayed.
