Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a Cairde and welcome to news Report 1177 from Millstreet.Fondest Greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best as we are enjoying some very welcome rain here in Millstreet this Tuesday morning.

One of the nicest things that was held here last week was the Station Mass at the home of Domnic and Kathryn Cronin, for Liscahane, Mount Leader and Geararoe. Canon John celebrated the Mass. A very large crowd attended and it was all held out of doors in brilliant weather.

The evening sun shone across the valley lighting up all the beauty spots along the way. Following the Mass the people sat around and chatted and enjoyed some wonderful refreshments, while the sun went down like a ball of fire. The Station Mass was said to coincide with their son Adrian’s trip home from Australia. He returns there in the near future and will have a wealth of happy memories of his holiday.

Patrick O’Leary Successfully Traces His Adrivale Roots

Patrick O'Leary of Louisville, Kentucky, USA pictured at Drishane Cemetery on Sunday as he successfully traced his Adrivale (Millstreet) roots. I recorded Patrick's impressive description of his excellent research. He was delighted to have visited Millstreet as part of an overall Irish tour. He truly felt very much at home here during his brief visit. He has worked in the past in the American Presidential Helicopter Squadron - definitely a highly prestigious role. He expressed sincere thanks also to Mary (nee O'Leary, Minor Row, Millstreet) Gleeson who lives in Wicklow for her very kind and much appreciated assistance in his roots research. (S.R.)
