Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1131 from Millstreet .
Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this Lovely warm and calm Tuesday morning.
Our events at the weekend were made all the more enjoyable by the beautiful warm sunny weather. Banteer Gymkhana was held at the Green Glens on Saturday and drew horse enthusiasts from all corners of the Country.
On Sunday we had a double bill with the Cork/Kerry branch holding their horse event again at the Green Glens, coupled with the annual September Fair in the town. The Fair drew a marked increase in the number of trade stands and there was a real carnival atmosphere with people milling around in bright summer clothes and talking plenty of time to chat in the lovely sunshine. There was everything from puppies to ducks and chickens to be seen. While the many horses, donkeys and ponies were confined to the Fair Field safely away from the milling crowds.
As soon as the Fair was over, the County Council cleaning lorry was out and in no time at all our streets were as clean and as neat as a pin. Many thanks to those did the work.

It must be from 1909 or so, because the Chapel (which would be on the left of this photo) was built in 1910.

Millstreet Celtic 1 Fairview 0
We beat Fairview 1-0 at home in the 2nd round of the St Michael’s Cup this afternoon. This was our first game of the season and it showed for the opening 15 mins of the game when we lost possession a number of times. After that we started to settle and Eric Hickey tested the keeper with a long shot on 20 mins. Hickey had another go 10 mins later only to see the keeper saving well once more. Fairview came forward a few times but the defence and keeper Piotr Oziast were alert to any danger. The 2nd half saw a big improvement in our play and we started to create a lot more chances. Donagh Murphy played a lovely ball through for Tadhg Collins in the 55th min but the defender just got back in time to make a vital block. Collins got his [read more …] “Millstreet Celtic 1 Fairview 0”

E-Millstreet Launched
Investing in New and Existing Entrepreneurs!
Millstreet Development Group comes together with Cork County Council and IRD to provide the first E Centre in the Duhallow Region.
Millstreet Development Group today launched a new E Centre initiative which will be opening later in the autumn as a facility to support local start-up and growing businesses in Millstreet and the surrounding region.
Áine Collins TD was instrumental in bringing the idea of an E-Centre to Millstreet Development Group who were anxious to find a way to support and grow businesses in the area.
The idea of the E-Centre is driven by the Cork County Council Economic Development Group chaired by Councilor Gerard Murphy. Ger Power, Head of Finance for CCC said that he was delighted to launch E-Millstreet and paid tribute to the team at E-Macroom who were actively engaged on the project. This project is funded by Cork Council and IRD Duhallow.
