Caherdowney wind farm nearly finished
Energia is finishing the build of its latest wind farm, Caherdowney, located just south of the Quarry on the Macroom road The €14m wind farm at Caherdowney in Co Cork will have the capacity to produce 9.2MW of renewable power from its four wind turbines, according to the independent energy supplier.
The turbines being used in the build are Enercon E70 models with a hub height of 64.5 metres and a rotor blade diameter of 70 metres. The company said the Caherdowney site was chosen because of its high average wind speeds. It said once the wind farm is fully operational it will be capable of powering up to 9,200 homes.

Dan Carroll
Dan Carroll of Inchaleigh was a good fellow he lived all of his life around Millstreet
He enjoyed his pints of guinness in the Bush Bar as nice a person as one could wish to meet
He always worked hard for an honest living a member of a very well known clan
And those who knew him will never forget him since there was so much to like about the man.
He was the same Dan Carroll drunk or sober a gentle soul he would not harm a fly
And he is one whose soul is surely up there if there’s a heaven somewhere in the sky
I never heard him bad mouth anybody a gentleman in his own quiet way
No need to worry for his soul’s salvation for one like him there is no need to pray.

The Famed Writers Of Millstreet
The famed writers of Millstreet the centuries they do span
Since the days of the Young Irelander Edward Walsh a renowned bardic man
He was from Derragh it is said his bones in Cork City lay
Though Millstreet to him did seem home since he lived there for many a day.
Jer Cronin was from Millstreet and quite a name for himself he made
For the Kerryman papers he penned the Millstreet news for many a decade
To be followed by Maurice Murray O Callaghan with his Millstreet Items in the Corkman he penned the Millstreet notes and views
Long before Denis Reardon edited the Clara News.
