Willie Neenan Memorial Race

Millstreet Athletic Club would like to thank everyone who supported our road race on Friday night from the sponsors, stewards and the local Gardai to all the runners and walkers.  It was lovely to see so many people in the town and along the route.  It was a great success and a very enjoyable evening.  Thank you to Geraldine Dennehy for the excellent photography.

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1272 from Millstreet.  Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this soft rich Tuesday morning. The last on in June.

This week we salute Lena Kelleher who recently retired following  almost 30 years as treasured Matron of our local Community Hospital. Lena was a nurse there for 10 years before that. Her devoted staff gave Lena a meaningful send off,  and at a later date she will be  furthered be honoured by our Community Council in appreciation of the wonderful work that she has done for countless numbers of our people over the years. On leaving she ceremoniously handed over the Keys to Noreen McSweeney , who will be our acting Matron.

Our Pipe Band are preparing well to play at the Munster Final which will be held in Killarney on Sunday. Children are getting a great thrill by following the band round the Town Park during their practice sessions .

The popular Mary Hickie  featured well in the crowd on Satuday night at the Miriam O Callaghan Show. Her Lovely Daughter Aileen and her popular husband Matt Cooper, were on the panel, and were enjoyed by all. If you missed it, it can be seen RTE Playback.
