“Back Home in Millstreet” – A Poem from the Archives
We thank Gerdi Buckley, Aubane for kindly sharing the following poem which most likely was composed many decades ago by a very talented Poet from Ivale in the Kilcorney area – John Twomey. (S.R.)
Back Home in Millstreet
I
When you’re far away from turf & hay
On some busy street or junction
Where in the rush you’re shoved & pushed
You sometimes stop & wonder.
How things remain in the “old domain”.
Will ‘progress’ alter ever
Those hills & vales where oft we strayed
And I now recall with pleasure.
2
There’s Gurraneduff for wakes & snuff
The Terrace for the lasses.
There’s Tullig cross for colds & coughs
And round the Glebe for asses.
Main Street ne’er failed for flour & meal
Coole Cross for travellers’ horses
Knocknapogue for pigs & stores
And Minor Row for matches.
3
Ardrivale is the best of all
Kilmeedy for its Castle
There’s Claraghatlea for bread & tae
The Station Road for cattle
Then famed Dooneen for pigs crubeen
The Star for lads & lasses
There’s old Liscreagh where asses bray
The Hospital for glasses. [read more …] ““Back Home in Millstreet” – A Poem from the Archives”

Tom O’Sullivan – A Thank You
Tom O’Sullivan……..A Thank You
Tom’s family wish to thank you for the wonderful send off given to him on the 29th

some of the nice things said as we can imagine how he enjoyed the rousing music at the Church and
the cemetery. Thank you to Fr. Fitzgerald for the use of Ballydaly Church for his reposing. It has
always been special in our lives. Thanks to Fr. Kennelly for celebrating the Mass, a link back to old
days. Thanks to Fr. Winter and Fr. Paddy for their participation in the ceremony. The choir and
organist did a superb job and added so much to the occasion. Thanks to Sharon for her work in the
preparation, to Marcella for her thoughtful arrangements and to Davy for his advice and guidance.
Thanks to all those who visited the church on Sunday or attended the Mass on Monday. Thanks to
James Linehan and his group of musicians for their uplifting and impressive contribution. Our thanks
too to those who posted condolences, many of them very touching. Thanks to all who kept in touch
with him during his time in Araglen House where he received such care and loving attention.
Finally we come to the Ballydaly community who gave of their time and resources on Sunday and
Monday. Our words are inadequate but your generosity will be long remembered.
Go raibh maith agaibh go léir.

Millstreet Pictorial Update – 6th Feb. 2025
Matthew James Healy – Acknowledgement & First Anniversary
In loving memory of Matthew James Healy, whose First Anniversary occurs on 9th of February 2025.
Deeply loved, sadly missed and always remembered by his heartbroken Dad, James, his grandfather, aunt, uncles, cousins and extended family, neighbours and friends.
As we lovingly remember Matthew at this time, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who sympathized with us, attended the funeral, sent Mass cards, posted on RIP.ie, our neighbours, friends and to all who travelled long distances to be with us to share in our grief. We would also like to especially mention the hundreds of condolences received from those who are unknown to us personally, both nationally and internationally; this outpouring of support was heartwarming at such a difficult time.
A heartfelt thank you to the community in Waterford who held vigils in Matthew’s name and to Faithlegg National School, where Matthew was a pupil, for their support.
We are deeply indebted to all the emergency personnel, first responders, Gardaí and staff at University Hospital Waterford who worked tirelessly to try and save Matthew’s life.
We are profoundly thankful to Davy, Declan & Cora, and all at Tarrant’s Undertakers, for their professionalism, personal touch and the support they gave us in the depths of grief.
A sincere word of thanks to Fr. Christy, who concelebrated Matthew’s funeral mass with Fr. Liam Power from Waterford, with the support from staff in Watergrasshill Parish and the choir; your support and guidance to help us through this difficult time has been very much appreciated.
A sincere thank you to the owners and staff at The Island Crematorium Ringaskiddy, who went above and beyond to make it a most special goodbye to our little man.
We would also like to thank the media, who covered Matthew’s death in a most respectful and empathetic way and for allowing us the space to grieve our little man as privately as possible.
We are deeply indebted to the community of Watergrasshill; the support shown to us during Matthew’s funeral and since, has been the greatest display of humanity from a community; it is heartwarming to witness. From everyone who helped out in the house, controlled traffic and parking, provided food, and organised elements of the funeral, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we could not have managed without you.
As we cannot thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our gratitude. The Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
Matthew’s Anniversary Mass will take place on Sunday, 9th February at 11:30 a.m. in Church of the Immaculate Conception, Watergrasshill, Eircode T56H320.
May he Rest in Peace
