The death has taken place in Dublin of Joe Lynam. Joe was 73 and worked for RTÉ as a showjumping reporter in the early 1980s.
He frequently covered events in Millstreet (especially in the 1980s) and the RDS for Saturday Sport on RTÉ Radio One with Jimmy Magee.
He knew many figures in the showjumping community and was very close to RTÉ’s Darragh and Eddie Mackin.
We thank Jerry Kelleher for sharing the RTÉ link with us : http://www.rte.ie/sport/equestrian/2010/1222/lynamj.html

Our Snow Tour today begins as usual at Mount Leader having met John Twomey of An Post cheerfully delivering the Christmas post on foot – proceeding down through the field – by the kind permission of the owner – (for safe footing sake) to Clara Road, onwards to West End where we note the schools are naturally closed in such wintery conditions. We note further path clearing and view the Bridge and Main Street. Soon we get to meet with [read more …] “Millstreet Snow Tour – Monday, 20th Dec. 2010”
Delighted to report that the very friendly dog we featured yesterday afternoon on our website was recognised by her owner sometime later. The appreciative owner contacted the number indicated and was very glad to discover that it was in fact the family dog which featured and which had been receiving truly wonderful care by the two kindhearted people who originally found the dog which had strayed to West End. So the dog is now back at home. A story with a happy ending at Christmas! It also demonstrates a further valuable advantage of a local website. Sincere thanks to All who helped on this occasion.

Programme 172 of LTV2 Millstreet is scheduled to be broadcast at 10.00 p.m. tonight (Thursday, 16th Dec. 2010). Seán Murphy has been diligently working on this special pre-Christmas programme and had the final editing almost completed when the editing programme being used developed a significant fault out of the blue. Despite Seán’s many valiant efforts to find a resolution to the problem, it appears that the editing machine requires some essential repairs. Therefore, tonight’s originally planned programme will not be broadcast. Very fortunately, LTV2’s William [read more …] “LTV2 Millstreet – Changed Schedule for Tonight’s Broadcast”
