Taoiseach Enda Kenny paid a flying visit to Millstreet last Friday. It was unscheduled and apart from politics, it was very pleasant and informal. Following his public address at the Wallis Arms Hotel he accepted an invitation from his college pal, Sean Radley to see our beautiful newly refurbished Museum at the Carnegie Hall. The pictures on our website clearly shows a fully recovered Sean proudly showing an interested Enda, the story of Millstreet over the centuries. All of this was at 11 oclock at night.The Taoiseach was also very keen to hear all about Sean’s recent health scare, and successful treatment. Being the same age, he couldn’t be blamed for thinking,”why not me”. Before leaving he met many locals,the pictures are on our Website. Then he boarded his chauffeur driven car for the long journey home.
