RTÉ Film Crew at Drishane Cemetery and at the Boeing Crossing on the Blackwater

When the RTÉ film crew visited Millstreet on 13th March we had reached Drishane Cemetery and the Boeing Crossing before lunch. Here we see Michael O'Sullivan of Dooneen and RTÉ's Evelyn O'Rourke discussing the scenic crossing of this section of the Blackwater. (S.R.)

31Epic Journey 2013 - Part Two -800The McCarthy Family tomb was filmed in Drishane Cemetery from where we proceeded to meet Michael O’Sullivan (who is quite an expert on the O’Sullivan Beara March and of the Boeing Crossing in 1602).   We now include a selection of images relating to this section of day.   In the afternoon we had the magical “snow” effect in Drishane and more.   This we shall upload in Part 3 of our feature.   Let’s now view the extra images of Drishane and the Boeing.  (S.R.)

    1. John,

      My people are from Millstreet. I had a Great Great Aunt Mary O’Leary (1867-1929) that married a Jeremiah Kelleher. I think they had three kids – Jermiah, Mary and Hugh.
      Any family connection??

      I will be coming to Ireland in July with my daughter and son.

    2. John – The Epic Journeys series covering four routes – the O’Sullivan Beara Route (which has been relevant to Millstreet), a Famine Route in Co. Mayo, a Military Road in Dublin and the Route taken by Michael Collins the last day of his life – all four television documentaries are scheduled to be screened in July 2013 to coincide with the Gathering Experience.
