Millstreet Celtic 5 Greenmount 2
22nd September 2012: We beat Greenmount 5-2 in the town park this morning. They started much better and were ahead after just 4 minutes. We settled a bit after that and were back on level terms in the 20th min. Tadhg Collins outmuscled the defender on the end line and his cross was turned into the net by a Greenmount defender with Adrian O Connor waiting to tap in. The game was even enough after that until 10 mins from half time. Greenmount won a penalty which was well saved by Piotr Oziast. We broke straight from the rebound through Brian Murphy and he fed Collins to fire just wide. Greenmount had two more very good chances before the half but Oziast kept them out brilliantly. In the first few mins of the 2nd half Oziast was called in to action again but then we [read more …] “Millstreet Celtic 5 Greenmount 2”

Josephine Gubbins
I recall her as a young and attractive woman she had a friendly warmth in her hello
When i was a young and a shy country fellow and that is going back many years ago
She always smiled and greeted me in passing though her i really never got to know
Her parents Tom and Madge back then were living and Josephine she was the Pride of Minor Row.
I do recall the young Josephine Gubbins in her prime one of the finest in Millstreet
So tall and graceful and so very popular she was one unaffected by conceit
Perhaps she still lives in the Town of Millstreet at home like many more she chose to stay
But going by what i do read and hear of Millstreet ’tis a changed place from the place i knew today.
Property Tax for Millstreet

It is expected to be introduced next July at a rate of 0.25% of the house value (though the IMF are putting pressure on for it to be set at 0.5%, which would mean that the tax outlined would be doubled)

Peak prices in 2007 was €262,289
Prices have fallen by an average of -€57.8%

Regional Report 1133 – 18th September 2012
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is Mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News report 1133 from Millstreet.
Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on lovely sunny Tuesday morning, following a showery night.
A high-powered meeting was held at the Wallis Arms Hotel last Tuesday night at which the Prizes for the best places in town were presented by the Tidy Towns Committee. There were prizes for the best business front and the best private front.
In spite of the months of bad weather, the judges still had a hard task to decide the very best. Their final result was as follows. Best business front went to Colemans. With Ursula’s Clara Inn a good second. Best in the private section went to John and Charlotte McSweeney Sycamore Drive. Out of 16 short listed Teresa Kelleher, Joan Wall, and Mary Murray got the awards. Very special recognition went to the Presentation Convent, and Kay Ryan Killarney Rd. for their wonderful display of flowers and plants. Many congratulations to all the winners. And indeed to our wonderful Tidy Towns Committee who kept the pressure up the whole time. Following the presentations, some lovely refreshments were served, and all involved enjoy a social evening. Our town is being completely re-surfaced at the moment, and of course the bottom line is, please keep Millstreet and our approach roads clean and tidy.
