Great interest is being shown in this wonderfully historic image of 60 years ago but now, thanks to the superb skill and much appreciated kindness of Mary Daniels (née Irish) of Clara Road, Millstreet the photograph has truly been given a splendid uplift by the fact that it has been so very professionally transferred from black-and-white format to brilliant colour! Among the people already recognised: Annabelle, D.J. and Peggy Reen, Brendan Kiely, Donagh Hickey, Donal and John Joe Garvey, Maureen McCarthy, Michael Murphy and Denis Lehane. Please let us know of others you may have identified. Just contact millstreetmuseum @gmail.com or WhatsApp/Text Seán Radley on 086 825 0074. And now an UPDATE thanks to Marian Hughes (née Hickey) and Frank Reen here are quite a few extra names of people identified: Back Row – Tommy Burke, Jerry Lehane, Donie Kiely, Brendan Bourke. Fourth Row – Josephine Gubbins. Second Row: Maura Kennelly. Front Row – Frank Reen. FURTHER UPDATE thanks to Carol O’Leary (née Creedon): Margaret Creedon (née Hickey) 3rd from left in 3rd row.
