The Eucharist Ministers, Mary Dennehy and Edel Fraser, who bring Communion to the residents weekly. Thank you.
Millstreet Comhaltas Group, in particular Marie Casey and Caroline Lehane have entertained our residents throughout the year lifting their spirits and filling our day room with fun and laughter. Your effort is hugely appreciated.
The Vintage Club have visited to coincide with the switching on of the Christmas lights and it was a real highlight this year to see the cars drive up the avenue twinkling decorated beautifully. The residents loved it. We also thank them for their generous contribution through fund raising.
Huge thanks to Gillian Gilbourne in Millstreet Library for welcoming some of our residents to the weekly Knit and Natter group and for all her support throughout the year. Our residents look forward to the monthly delivery of books.

This year we formed a new link with the Men’s Shed. They made a beautiful Outdoor Crib for the hospital, for this we thank ye. A special word of thanks to Jerry O’Sullivan, Cullen, who put so much work into it. It is truly beautiful and has made our residents extremely happy.
Noreen Dennehy and the Community singers visited us recently where they performed many Christmas carols. It was truly beautiful and touched the hearts of both the staff and the residents. We look forward to welcoming them again in the New Year.
Seán Radley has also contributed in many ways to the hospital over the past year. He helped us to create a gallery of photos of Millstreet through the years for the new hospital. His willingness to help at short notice on many occasions is much appreciated.
Finally, we would like to thank Siobhán O’Leary, sixth class teacher, the Girls school, who visited with her students and entertained us. They played, sang and danced. The work and effort that went into this is hugely appreciated. An extremely talented teacher and group of girls.
