Great credit is due to Millstreet Tidy Towns Association for the dedicated coordination of arranging to put in place a magnificent new Mural at Minor Row. Neil O’Dwyer, Artist Supreme, from Tipperary is presently carrying out the splendid task at the Minor Row entrance to the Fair Field. Well done also to the O’Riordan Family for according permission to place the beautiful Mural on the gable end of their Family home. Millstreet has always been famous in the equestrian world with the two most important Horse Fairs of the year taking place in March and in September. The splendid Mural is therefore most apt for this particular location and indeed for the entire town. When fully completed it will look truly remarkable. Here we share a selection of images reflecting on the wonderfully uplifting development. Tap on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)

Recently this cup was brought to us by John Sheehan a local taxi man in Millstreet, it has his father’s name Denis on it. Denis Sheehan originally from Newmarket was a man of the Rás in the 50’s and got a couple of mentions in Tom Daly’s book with some decent results. Denis was a member of Duhallow Wheelers but also gave a stint in London with a team and more time up North. Duhallow Wheelers ran a race many moon’s ago for this cup once won by Bobby Power from Carrick and when it stopped, the cup went on the missing list for some time until recently and no we are proud to use it for our A1/A2 race today and going forward in the Sliabh Luachra Clasaicí. Who will be the first winner of the Denis Sheehan cup of the modern era?
