Aubane School Bus at risk of being terminated

Hi all,

you may be aware the existence of the Aubane Millstreet School transport is at risk of being terminated. As a last ditch effort, could people please check or ask older relatives of the area to check if they have any documentation in relation to the 1974 closure of the old Aubane School or promises made for indefinite commitment for the school bus!

Thanks in anticipation.

Last Snow of the Winter ?

A week ago there was a sudden and unexpected heavy snowfall which blanketed the area, especially Mushera which got a good deep cover. While it’s lovely to look at, hopefully it will be the last one of the year, and that the weather will pick up, after what has been an awful winter. (With thanks to Paul/Noreen O’Connor who took the 30+ photos below at dawn last Sunday in the Mushera / Knocknakilla area).

Of My Time On Mushera

The memories with me are all that does remain
I will never fell pine trees by Mushera again
In all sorts of weather wind, sun, frost and rain
With brown rain water flowing in every drain

Across the high country the cold winds did blow
And old Mushera was often in his hat of snow
Late Winter in Mushera can be a cold and wet time of year
The wind soughing in the pine trees in fancy i hear
