Sue Dennehy

When I was young she was an ageing woman
She lived in her small house in the West End
And she was much loved in and around Millstreet
Sue Dennehy was everybodys friend.

A daughter of Denny Dennehy the greyhound owner breeder
At Cork and Shelbourne park his dogs raced to renown
He became famous far beyond Duhallow
His name was known distant from Millstreet Town. [read more …] “Sue Dennehy”

Millstreet Methodist Update June 2011

In the Methodist Church June is always marked by the Annual National Conference of our Church.  This Conference is the main governing body of our Church and is the final authority in any decisions that we make as a Church.  It is carefully constituted of exactly half lay people and half ordained ministers.  It is presided over by the President of the Church who is a minister and the Lay Leader who is (obviously!) a lay person.  Every Methodist Church in Ireland is represented at the Conference and any Church or in fact even any individual member can bring a motion to the Conference.  In this way the Church seeks to involve everyone in its governance.  This is an important principal of Methodism. Please pray that God would guide all our deliberations and decisions. [read more …] “Millstreet Methodist Update June 2011”

JD’s a bad boy in Ros na Rún

Actor JD Kelleher who grew up on Minor Row is in the news for his character on the hit Irish language soap Ros na Rún. The long-running TG4 series ended the season on a disturbing note this week, as a little girl went missing just as radio station boss, Breandan Mac Gearailt (JD Kelleher), was exposed as a paedophile.

“It was a very challenging part and I welcomed that,” JD told the Herald. “He’s a very morally questionable character and that’s very interesting for an actor. “I never lost track of the fact that it’s drama so I wasn’t disturbed, I was just excited to play such a morally ambiguous character. I don’t know how viewers will react, it’s a very difficult subject. [read more …] “JD’s a bad boy in Ros na Rún”

Cork City Walkers Visit Millstreet and Thoroughly Enjoy Clara Walk

Alerted by the recent "Irish Times" feature on the Clara Walk these wonderfully energetic members of a Cork City Walking Group (many of whom are members of a Cork Tennis Club) enjoyed not only a superb walk this evening (Sunday, 29th May 2011) but also a splendid picnic upon Clara Mountain. Meeting with the very fit Group at Mount Leader, LTV2's Brendan Murphy (on video camera) and I arranged to interview the sincerely friendly and very cheerful people for the Autumn Schedule of LTV2. They accorded much praise regarding the excellent Clara walkway. It's wonderfully uplifting noting the visit of such interesting people to our area who promote the advantages of such healthy outdoor pursuits. (Picture by Seán Radley for website and LTV2)
