Eily’s update – 1st March
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a caidre and welcome.
Today is the first day of March and tradition has it that if March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb. So we live in hope.
Well thank God the General Election is all over, goodness knows it created a great stir in every corner of the country, and the amount of voluntary effort that goes into it can only be imagined. The putting up of the posters, (and repairing them after the storms). The canvassing, the debating, the pleading for your vote. I think you have to be very special sort of person.
In our area at least the die has been cast. And we congratulate those who were successful, but our hearts go out to those who were not. Áine Collins worked so hard for us over the past five years and is responsible for so many great new developments in our area. Not least among them the funding for the bridge across the Blackwater at Dooneen. The €4m funding for our local hospital, to name but a couple. We will miss her so much. Not that we find any fault with the men, but you can’t beat the “Woman’s Touch”.
Many thanks Aine for all your great work. And we wish you the best of health and happiness in the years ahead.
The annual March Fair in Millstreet, last Sunday, was almost a non-event. The feeling is that there may have been some confusion as to when it was on. Our March Fair is self advertising, as it is held on the Sunday nearest to the First of March. So last Sunday was the right day. Very few horses turned up and the trade stands in the town were few and far between. Still there was a lot to see. Hens and ducks and sheepdog pups drew great attention, and the popular honour was there in the West End, with her antique treasures, in gold and silver.
