Memories Of Rosemary’s Fiftieth Birthday Party
Phil Cronin is a man who is well travelled and half way around the Planet he has flown
Yet when he talks of Millstreet in Duhallow you always hear him mention the word home
And though he’s raised his children in Australia and he left Ireland many years ago
He still talks with s strong Duhallow accent an accent that he never will outgrow.
I met him at Rosemary Kelleher’s fiftieth birthday party with Kitty his endearing Irish wife
And they look well and young despite the passage of time and they don’t look ravaged by the cares of life,
Phil Cronin drank his beer and talked of Millstreet and back the roads of memory he did go
To the people he knew in the Town of Millstreet the Learys and John Sing and Mister O.

Jimmy Cronin
Jimmy Cronin is a character of Millstreet
And in Duhallow his is a well known face
For years he coached the Millstreet young footballers
And he became known beyond his home place.
Jimmy Cronin had a stroke but he recovered
A young man at heart though in years getting old
In Millstreet Town his name will live forever
For he is one who has a ‘heart of gold’

O’Halloran/Halloran, Twomey
I am looking for anyone in the Millstreet area who may be related or knows of anyone who is to the above family. My Grandfather, Patrick was born in the Millstreet workhouse in 1872 to Mary, nee Twomey and John Halloran who were married in Millstreet in 1865. They had three other children, Denis born in Millstreet in 1867 and twins John and Hannah born in Cork city in 1869. The family, minus Denis and Hannah, who we presume both died in childhood emigrated to New Zealand in the 1880’s. Hoping there is someone who can help us.
Best regards,
Kevin O’Halloran [read more …] “O’Halloran/Halloran, Twomey”
