Regional Report 1118 – 5th June 2012

by

Eily Buckley

 Dia is mhuire diobh go leir Cairde and welcome to news report 1118 from Millstreet.

Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this rather wet but calm Tuesday morning.

It was another action packed week here in Millstreet with many, many people working on a voluntary basis to make Millstreet a better place. Let me remind you once again that Judging for the Tidy Towns Competition, at all levels, starts in June, and will go on right through the Summer months. So
please make a visible start on what you plan to do in your own place. I’m asking road users to please stop throwing litter out of their car . This problem has improved, but you’d be surprised at those who still have not taken it on board.

The Men Who Played For K R R

The men who for Killarney Road Rovers did play
From Neily Duggan’s Inch Field some of them live far away
Whilst some of them in and near Millstreet did stay
And a few of them deceased which does seem sad to say

But as is often said few things seem to last
The Killarney Road Rovers a Football Club are a Football Club of the past
They will never play in the Inch Field again
And only the memories of them now remain
