Margaret O’Sullivan and John Casey got married last Saturday in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Ballydaly. Photographer Ronan Pallister has put some lovely photos of the day on his blog, as did Fr James McSweeney who did the ceremony.
Update 5/June: Ronan has placed more photos of the day on his blog, this time photos from the reception in the Malton Hotel in Killarney.
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.

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”

Hi, I’m trying to find out if my relative, Jeremiah Foley died in the Millstreet workhouse. We have his death date as Feb 20, 1872. He was born in or around 1827 in Islandbrach. He may have had a son James born in Millstreet as well, in 1870. Anyone have any ideas on how to find out this information?

The Irish Times today profiles the walk up Clara Mountain bringing in Mount Leader House and other items along the route:
—————–
Reminders of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy are a compelling attraction on the way up Claragh Mountain.
THE GHOSTS of old estates with their haunting reminders of the Anglo-Irish ascendancy always provide a compelling attraction and I can mooch around them for hours, especially if they are not well frequented. Such is the case with the Mount Leader Estate through which the Duhallow Way provides access to Claragh Mountain (452m) whose profile provides such a fine backdrop to the town of Millstreet.

The Corkman carries an article this week on the Cork Junior Team 2011, who have Niall Kelleher from Aubane is in charge again this year.
Pulling the strings on the sideline for Cork was Millstreet’s Niall Kelleher, who had served as a selector under previous boss Mossie Barrett of Donoughmore since 2004.
Cork had won three AllIreland titles in this period (2005, 2007 and 2009), and it was obviously disappointing for Kelleher that they should falter at the first hurdle under his stewardship 12 months ago.
Cork will play Clare in the Munster Junior Football Championship Quarter-Final on Sunday May 22nd at 1:30pm in Pairc Ui Chaoimh
