Preparing a Magnificent New Mural at Minor Row, Millstreet

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.)

The late Dan Hallissey – such a truly friendly gentleman – sets off home down Minor Row in the 1970s passing Lucey’s Garage.  His wonderful donkey had just received four new shoes at Tom Radley’s Forge in The Square!  This is the first of many pictorial gems we’ve been arranging to display in our renovated Millstreet Museum.
