Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to news report 1219 from Millstreet .  Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this mild sunny, Tuesday morning.

Pardon me if I’m not in my usual cheery mood this morning. By now you all know that our councillor Noel Buckley did not get re-elected to Cork County Council. We were dealt a dreadful blow when we heard it. Millstreet without him. Doesn’t seem right, doesn’t seem even safe. Safe from the ravages of to-days risky and uncertain political world.

Visiting Millstreet by Helicopter

Visiting Millstreet this morning in brilliant sunshine were the lovely Kim and Kanye, who most unusually arrived by helicopter into Millstreet Town Park. They had prearranged with us at Millstreet Museum to do some detailed research into Kim’s  ancestors this morning, who originally came from Annagloor. They are on a short visit to the Cork & Kerry region, and will be flying home this weekend.
