As daylight hours lessen in this time of the year safety after darkness when one is outdoors is all-important. “Be safe – Be seen” is the wise advice to follow.

Deer Observed at Station Road Millstreet
We thank Pat for bringing to our attention that a Deer was observed earlier this Wednesday (10th Apr. 2019) evening at Station Road, Millstreet near the Football Pitch (pictured below). While I did not see the Deer when I visited the location it is quite possible that the Deer may still be within the area. In the interest of Road Safety, Drivers should be on the alert in case the Deer may attempt crossing the road. (S.R.)
