Genealogy: Griffins / O’Sullivans
My great grandfather Tom Griffin arrived In Millstreet from Co. Mayo C1885. He married Hannah Daughter of Jeremiah O’Sulliavan. They had four children: Mary, Tom, JJ, and Paddy Griffin. Hannah Griffin died and was buried in Cahir Co. Tipperary C1939. The last Griffin was Gretta who owned and ran the pub Tanglewood on the Main Street in Millstreet about 2003.
Anyone have more information on the Griffins / O’Sullivans, or are there any other relations out there?

In Millstreet Hospital
My cousin, they tell me, doesn’t wake up much,
nor does she seem to see the green mountain
framed in the window of this chapel of ease
for travellers booked in for their long pilgrimage.
When I leave at the end of visiting-hours
a small, tidy man is sitting by the door:
stick, well-knotted tie, watch-chain, tweed jacket.
He gets to his feet, raises his hat and enquires:
‘Excuse my troubling you, but would you be
going anywhere near a railway station?’
The young smiling nurse bends over him,
and takes him by the elbow, saying:
‘Maybe tomorrow, James. Maybe tomorrow
we’ll take you to the station.’

Munster U21 Hurling Final
As mentioned previously, Mark Ellis plays at wing-back (#7) for Cork against Limerick in the Munster U21 Hurling Final tonight at 7:30. For those of us that can’t make the game at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick, it will be live on TV as gaeilge on TG4 from 7:15.—–
It what has been described as the best game in any sport anywhere in the world this year, Limerick pipped Cork in extra time to win on a final scoreline of Limerick 4-20 Cork 1-27. Mark Ellis was unlucky to be pitted against Limerick’s best forward Jamie Coughlan before he made way at half time. An enthralling game you can see on the TG4 website. (It is is a number of parts)
First half * Second half * Extra time (not available yet)
Sincere Congratulations to Alanna Barry on Magnificent All-Ireland Success
Millstreet is indeed very proud of the very wonderful Alanna Barry who as a member of the Cork team achieved All-Ireland success with her team in the weekend’s All Ireland Ladies Minor Football Final which took place in Birr. Alanna’s superb input in the game was very significant in the uplifting great result for the team. Well done, Alanna.
And we wish the very talented Mark Ellis every good luck tonight as he participates as a member of the Cork team in the U21 Munster Hurling Final at Limerick when Cork play against Limerick.
On The Passing Of Dick Kiely
Dick Kiely was the principal teacher when I was in primary school
And he seemed quite impartial and with fairness he did rule
He did not have his favourites as some other teachers had
A good and honest fellow and in him nothing bad.
A famous gaelic footballer when he was in his prime
But I never see him playing it was before my time
By all accounts the mighty Dick was a renowned athlete
One of the famous sportsmen for to represent Millstreet.

Genealogy: Dennehys
Hello Millstreet,
I understand this is the place to find Dennehy history and I hope you can help me. I’m looking for info on my father’s family who came from Millstreet. My grandfather was Daniel Dennehy born Sept. 1868 – died in the U.S. Sept.20, 1905. He married Ellen Riordan, also from Millstreet. I don’t know if they were married here or there but they immigrated in 1892. They had five children, my father Dennis born 1895, Patrick born 1897, Jeremiah born 1899, Cornelius born 1902 and Ellen born 1904. Eventually all the children wound up in the U.S. with the exception of Cornelius, I believe. I am going to be in Ireland the week of Aug. 1 and will be stopping in Millstreet, short notice I know but am interested in checking any records that I can. If anyone has any info they can contact me at the above e-mail address. Thanking you in advance.

Millstreet VHI GAA Cul Camp
From 11th – 15th July, Millstreet Juvenile Club hosted a very successful VHI GAA Cul Camp in the Town Park. 94 primary school children took part in the camp under the expert eye of qualified coaches Steven Mannix (Banteer), Kevin Hallissey (Eire Og), Leah Westwood (Ballincollig), Christopher Buckley (Mourneabbey) and Michael Murphy (Millstreet). These coaches were ably assisted by local minor, u21 and Junior players (Eric Hickey,Denny Twomey, Len Murphy, Alanna Barry, Cliona O’ Callaghan and Michael Vaughan) and the children thoroughly enjoyed their fun-packed week of G.A.A. activities. Cork Senior Footballer Paddy Kelly visited the camp and was more than happy to give advice, go through some drills with the participants as well as autograph the personal belongings of all the children. Along with the VHI Cul Camp kit which included a jersey, shorts, socks and gear bag, the children each received a medal at the end of the week to acknowledge the efforts they put into the learning of their new skills during the week. Millstreet Juvenile Club would like to thank all those who supported the camp and look forward to VHI CUL CAMP 2012!

Big Jerry Shea
Big Jerry Shea was in his prime when I was a young fellow
He was a wild one on his day though the years have made him mellow
In the pub with a few drinks in he could be very funny
And with the big fellow about the atmosphere was sunny.
