Death Notice: Noreen Hughes, London and Murphy’s Terrace

Noreen Hughes (née Dennehy, Murphy’s Terrace) passed away on the 31st of March 2018 in London. She is sadly missed by her family and wide circle of friends.

Her family are bringing her ashes home to Millstreet, and there will be a funeral mass  at 12 noon on Saturday June  30th 2018, followed by internment of ashes in St. Mary’s cemetery.

Cycling on the Footpaths

We have been asked to please make people aware, and especially younger kids that it is very dangerous to cycle on the narrow footpaths in town . One lady who contacted us has been hit once coming out a shop door, and two older customers had near misses and could have been badly hurt.

It is actually an offence to cycle on a footpath unless you are entering or exiting a property, and it comes with an on the spot €40 fine.  However, Cycling Ireland state that “if the roads are dangerous and narrow, we would prefer to see children cycling on footpaths than not cycling at all,”…  so just be careful please.

Eily’s Report 19th June

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a Chairde and welcome to my Report.

If you blinked your eyes in Millstreet these times you’d miss something. Yesterday we had the National Schools Sports Day in the Town Park, with little ones arriving home in high spirits bearing treasured trophies.  A Pitch ‘n Putt competition is planned for this evening. The Children of Rathcoole School are still reeling from the privilege of coming face to face with Prince Charles.

Fr. Paddy is saying Mass at Tubrid Well this evening to celebrate one of his Priestly anniversaries. Starting at 7.30 and all are welcome.
