Dia is Mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1125 from Millstreet.Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very, best on this rather dull but mild Tuesday morning.
The beautifying of our town goes on and this week all eyes are on the Gable- end- wall at Mill Lane, in the town centre, where a beautiful mural has been painted, depicting the old mill race, which was part and parcel of our every-day lives in the past. Well done to all associated with it. Especially the artist himself Neil O’Dwyer for Co.Tipperary.
Please keep up the anti litter drive. Every Monday evening a dedicated group work very hard to make Millstreet a prize-winning town. Come out and help.
There was lots of joy at the Social Club in Aubane on Saturday night when Seamus Buckley celebrated his 50th birthday. But it was a celebration with a difference. Seamus used the occasion the raise funds for a past pupil on his by the name of Pat McMahon a native of Meelin. Pat a trained nurse was so overwhelmed by the poverty that he saw in Calcutta that he forged ahead and with another man they opened a hospital there. Now they are doing wonderful work to aid the poor and sick. At Saturdays night’s party well in excess of €3,000 was raised, Pat says a child’s eyesight can be saved for a mere ten cents ,almost unbelievable. So well done to Seamus Buckley on his 50th Birthday.
The centenary of celebrations of Aubane school will be held on August 17-20th. They are asking for any old pictures etc.
