Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1185 from Millstreet.Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this rather wet and windy Tuesday Morning.
The weather proved a real spoilsport to many outdoor events at the weekend. On Sunday The car boot Sale organised by our Los Zarcos Football Club had to be cancelled, and the street markets in Rathmore also fell victim to the elements.
Following our great success in the Tidy towns competition our Town is going through major changes. The town Square is all cordoned off while some fine enhancing features are being added. This project will take until November to complete and drawings of the plan are on show in many places around the town and on the website.
Meanwhile at the other end of Town some major changes are taking place in
out Town Park. The ground is ready in record time to receive it’s Astro
Turf surface. And it will be done in the next two weeks.
The childrens playground is enjoying a brand new coat of colourful paint
and the approach to it a new tarmac surface. And please let me remind you that no small amount of it is thanks to the local lotto.
There’s a notice here from the Town Park committee to say that if dog
owners don’t keep their dogs on a lead and clean up after them, then they
will have no option but to ban dogs from the Park altogether.

Hotel to-night. All interested parties welcome. Starts at 9.
Our Youth Club is to start up again in October. And if anybody is interested in becoming a volunteer,please contact 087 277 49 19. Training courses will be provided.
