Millstreet CCÉ’s Special Tribute to Tom O’Sullivan

Tom O’Sullivan RIP

Sincerest sympathy to the O’Sullivan and Sugrue family on the passing of our great friend Tom.   He was one of the founding members of Millstreet CCÉ and went on to become Chairperson for many years.  During this time as chairperson, Tom and his team officers went on to form our local Féile Cheoil and was instrumental in establishing music lessons in Millstreet which is still thriving today.  We are so grateful for his work, dedication and love for Irish Traditional Music.   May he rest in peace.   Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Festive Greetings 2024 from Millstreet Website Team

As we approach the beginning of 2025 , on behalf of the entire Millstreet Website Team, may I express sincere thanks to all those who have remained loyal to visiting our local website on a very regular basis and who have extended much appreciated positive comments regarding its value and its interest to many, especially to the numerous Millstreet people living abroad.  Because this long established local website is an entirely voluntary service, our wish for the New Year is that this spirit of spontaneous volunteering will continue and will even further develop.   Every Blessing and Joy throughout a wonderfully Healthy and Bright 2025.   We share a selection of images reflecting recent local events.  Tap on the images to enlarge.  (Seán Radley on behalf of All the Millstreet Website Team).

Wonderfully Uplifting Christmas 2024 Message from Millstreet Community Hospital

Christmas in Millstreet Community Hospital is about sharing the joy and spirit of Christmas with the whole community, that’s why we were delighted to be a part of many community events that took place over the past year.

Extending a heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers and organisations who helped us to make it possible.

A special word of thanks to Sharon Lane Parish office and Canon John Fitzgerald, P.P. who helped us ensure the spiritual needs of the residents were met.

Huge thanks and appreciation to the Friends of Millstreet Community Hospital in particular Mary Fitzgerald and Lena Kelleher who ensure our residents comforts are met by continuous fund raising.

The Parents Association Millstreet who have been an invaluable resource to us and form a great link to the community. They organised trick treating and entertainment throughout the year. We are truly grateful for this.

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.

We would like to thank Martina Duggan for her time spent in carefully choosing soft furnishings for the new build. You did an outstanding job which has been admired by many.

Many thanks to all the local businesses for their support throughout the year, Centra West End, SuperValu, Colemans and McCauls.

The members of Red Cross who volunteer their service to the residents. The therapeutic hand massage is a highlight each week for the residents.

Carriganima Community Group for fundraising and use of the community bus for resident’s outings. This service is priceless and gives the residents something to look forward to.

Michelle O’Keeffe for visiting the residents with her dog ‘Millie’. Millie, with her gentle nature has become a firm favourite with the residents.

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.

We sincerely hope we haven’t forgotten anyone.

We wish you all a very Happy Christmas and Best wishes for 2025.

 From:  Geraldine, Maureen and all the Staff of Millstreet Community Hospital. [read more …] “Wonderfully Uplifting Christmas 2024 Message from Millstreet Community Hospital”
