Our Breton Friends Leave Millstreet on Saturday

Following a wonderfully successful and enjoyable week in Millstreet and Dublin (and Dingle) our Breton Friends left Millstreet on Saturday on their way to Ringaskiddy to board the ship for Brittany. Millstreet Pipe Band added so much to the leaving as they gave a splendid recital outside the Twinning H.Q. at McCarthy's Bar in The Square, Millstreet. Margaret Bourke arranged to show Bernard (artist supreme) his magnificent painting which is on permanent display in Millstreet Credit Union building at The Square. (S.R.)
