Regional Report 1017 – 15th June 2010

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to news report 1017 from Millstreet.

Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely  sunny Tuesday morning.

There is an important notice here from our Garda Siocana to let you know that tomorrow Wednesday June 16th is National Firearms Licencing Awareness Day.

All gun holders are asked to renew their licences on that day. Garda Stations will be open from 10am to 6pm.

Millstreet Development Group have criss-crossed out town with banners telling all and sundry that from  to-day, June 14th to the 19th, every shop and business is giving big discounts, 39 in all, turning Millstreet into a real bargain–town for the next few days. Do come and sample these once-off bargains  and while you are here,  go to see our beauty spots,  Tubrid Well,  the Country Park,  The Green Glens Complex, the picturesque view from our Wind-farms, and lots more.  And have a meal or snack in any one of our varied food outlets.

Cork City Marathon 2010

The 2010 Cork City Marathon was run a week ago on the June Bank Holiday (Monday 7th June). It was a terrible day with all the runners drowned to the skin, but spirits were high regardless. There were a few Millstreet runners who took part mostly in the relay. These were:

  • #512 Joanne Carroll 03:45:48
  • #3660 Road Runners (Mixed team) 03:42:55 (Humphery Hickey, Aoife O’Connell & Maeve Neenan)
  • #3902 The Jolly Joggers (Mixed team) 04:14:40 – included Mairead O’Connell
  • #3482    Millstreet Tae kwon-do   Mixed Team    05:04:01 – (They were raising money to send some of their team to the world championships)
  • #4096 Runners Loft @ Maher (All male Team) 02:29:03 – included Tony Kelleher (formerly from Minor Row)
  • There were a few more locals running, but I’m unsure of the team names they ran under.
