Nora was a good mother to the Tanyard O Donoghues and to Florry she was a devoted wife
And sad to learn she is no longer with us that she has lost her marvellous gift of life
No more to be seen in the Town of Millstreet near to where she resided for so many years
Where she was one well known and loved by many her passing would have given rise to tears. [read more …] “Nora O Donoghue”

by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to news Report 1037 from Millstreet.
Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this damp and overcast Tuesday morning.
Our town was a blaze of colour and spooks on Friday night last for the Halloween Fancy Dress Ball which was held at the Wallis Arms Hotel. It only gets better every yea. It’s as though people welcome the chance to dress in the most outrageous outfits just this once, every year. Costumes went from the sublime to the ridiculous and all for good causes. Organised by the Aubane social club the proceeds will be divided among the local Community Hospital, the Aubane Social Club and the Christmas Lighting of the Town. So well one to the organisers and to all who gave it their support.
