Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this rather wet but mild Tuesday morning.
Monthly meeting of the Community Council to-night at the Youth Centre starting at 9. All members please attend.
It was another busy weekend here in Millstreet which saw our brilliant Minor Hurling team win the County Final, defeating Aghada in Coachford on Saturday afternoon. The pipe band was out to meet them on their arrival back in Millstreet where they lauded for their great success. They took the Cup around the town and their sense of pride was plain to see. Well done to them and to all associated with them.
And our U10 Football team won the shield in Canovee on Sunday under the careful guidance of trainer Tadgh O Donovan and his helpers.

G.A.A. club sponsored walk great success
On Saturday September 29th while 17 people walked and completed the Drishane castle loop 60 others climbed Clara mountain to raise funds for our G.A.A. club and the Mercy hospital.
We are still collecting sponsorship cards but to date 1212 euro has been collected which is a fantastic amount in these difficult times.
A huge thank you goes out to each and everyone of you young and old who took part in this great event and thank you also to Thomas Duggan for allowing us to use Drishane.
On our return light refreshments were served in our local G.A.A. hall much to the delight of the walkers.
Many thanks again -Carmel Walsh.

Of Toots Kelleher
Of Toots Kelleher only the memories remain
But in fancy i often does seem him again
In full flight for Millstreet in the green and gold
Though it is true about great men they too do grow old
Never found to be wanting when put to the test
For Cork, Munster and Millstreet he always gave of his best
In Cork, Coachford, Macroom, Killarney and in famed Croke Park
The Pride of Duhallow often left his mark [read more …] “Of Toots Kelleher”

Bio: Denis Long
Denis Long was one of Cork’s brightest stars in the 1973 galaxy of talent. Deep involvement continues in Tralee.
In the days when Carrolls used to sponsor the annual Hurling and Football All Star Awards, a small citation accompanied the photograph of each winner on the much sought after posters. The composer of the citations is unknown but he/she certainly did a fine job. Many descriptions of a player’s finer points were invoked but I can only recall one occasion on which the word “grace” was used. In 1973, Cork’s midfielder Denis Long received his award “for the grace of his football and for his intelligent and shrewd distribution of the ball.” Couldn’t have been more accurate. Two years later, Denis was again on the All Star team, “for his admirable combination of high work rate, excellent catching and lengthy kicking.” Yes, the man, or woman, behind those little citations knew a thing or two about [read more …] “Bio: Denis Long”

Census 2011: How many Polish in Millstreet
The Central Statistics Office today released its Migration and Diversity Report which looks at diversity in the form of non-Irish nationals living in Ireland, along with foreign languages spoken and ability to speak English.
Millstreet gets a mention on page 11 as the town with the 5th highest Polish Poluation in Ireland with 15% of its population being Polish nationals. A few years ago we reported that in 2006 Millstreet had by far the highest Polish population in the country at 14%. (see the tables below for details) It has risen slightly (even if anecdotally quite a few seem to have left) while other other towns have seen their Polish population climb dramatically. Indeed our close neighbours in Rathmore had [read more …] “Census 2011: How many Polish in Millstreet”

The Human Costs of Deportation
Yesterday saw the launch of a campaign of a new group called Anti-Deportation Ireland who are against the system of direct provision and the practice of deportation. One asylum seeker Aisha Yusuff wrote of the pain inflicted on her family by the deportation of her husband:
“I reside in Drishane Castle in Millstreet Accomodation Centre with my two children ages four and two, both born in Ireland. I arrived in Ireland in July 2008 with my husband to seek asylum. We were given deportation letters by the justice system a year later. The letters explained that as a family we were not to be separated and would be deported together.
We were asked to continually report to the GNIB office in Dublin so that our removal from the state could be facilitated. We did this for [read more …] “The Human Costs of Deportation”
