Millstreet’s Superbly Uplifting Success at BTYSTE 2025
While it’s a great privilege to be chosen to compete in BTYSTE 2025 it is truly a further bonus to be chosen among the winners. We thank Pól Ó Síodhcháin for sharing the following statement and images relating to the wonderful success for Millstreet Community School this Friday evening (10th Jan. 2025) at the RDS. Pól states: “We are immensely proud of Saoirse, Anna & Méabh! What a fantastic achievement when you think of 2,000 entries of which just over 500 reach the RDS, to be coming back to Millstreet with 3rd Place is just brilliant. It is a tremendous end to what was a difficult week for many people locally and we are thrilled to have pnce again represented our area so well! I want to thank Millstreet Community Council for their generous support of our participation in BTYSTE over many years. To our three teachers who made the trip to Dublin with the students, Ms Lyons, Ms O’Looney & Mr Guerin, we say a huge míle buíochas. Our teachers in MCS are so committed to our students, it is a privilege to be a part of that. Thanks also to Daniel’s father for travelling to Dublin! They joined the train in Banteer on Wednesday morning. Marion Buckley, one of our wonderful Clerical Officers, ensured that Ms Lyons would make the train on Wednesday morning by giving her a bed on Tuesday night. That sums up MCS…the Irish word ‘Meitheal’ is such a perfect description of what we have in the school between all Staff, Students and Parents/Guardians. We will celebrate this in the school on Monday and I can’t wait to do so! Well done to Daniel, Kate and Evelyn on their excellent work and presentations in the RDS too. We have such a proud tradition in this competition over very many years, it was wonderful to have three projects make it through to Dublin this year. Comhghairdeachas leo go léir!“

Wonderful Millstreet Representation at BTYSTE 2025
We thank Millstreet Community School Science Teacher, Eileen Lyons for very kindly reporting from this year’s prestigious BTYSTE in Dublin’s RDS and for sharing a superb selection of images from the highly regarded annual event.

Here we share Eileen’s splendid Report and image selection which also includes a picture of Photographer supreme, Mark Condren, three time Photo Journalist of the Year. Tap on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
Eileen says: “We travelled by train yesterday (7th Jan. 2025) from Millstreet on the 8. 15am service to Heuston. We’ve three groups at this year’s BT Young Scientist competition which is the 61th BT young scientist competition and the 25th year BT are sponsors. The groups are as follows: Kate Lynch and Evelyn Smyth can be seen at stand 1508 with their project “A statistical analysis of how frequent ligament injuries have become in recent years in males v females”; Anna Buckley, Meabh Casey and Saoirse Kiely can be found at stand number 5518 with their project “An assessment of the reliability of weather proverbs in a time of climate change” and Daniel Bourke at stand 2114 with his project on “Putting the buzz into Millstreet: building on local initiatives to raise awareness of pollinator conservation in my town”.

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”
