Thank you, Noel

Perhaps the uplifting Tweet of  “Evening Echo” journalist, Pádraig Hoare when referring to the reaction of Cllr. Noel Buckley at the Election Count Centre when final results emerged last night:  “(Noel)…Conducted himself with outstanding class. All media present were struck by his dignity and graceful exit. A good man” …  so expresses the feeling of so many who over the past ten years have got to witness Cllr. Noel as such an approachable, cheerful and supremely dedicated local Councillor of Cork Co. Council who achieved so much for Millstreet Parish.   One clear example relates to his Trojan work in bringing about the reopening of Millstreet Museum and Tourist Information Centre.   There were numerous other projects with which Noel has been associated – all of which have had fruitful results.    We sincerely wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to both yourself Noel, Margaret and Family.   We wish you every happiness, fulfilment and excellent health for the future…and  hoping that your hugely regarded commitment to Millstreet will continue for many years to come. Your enormous contribution to our native parish of Millstreet has been utterly inspiring.   Míle, míle buíochas.  (S.R.)
