Delighted to report that although we were concerned that with the ending of the analogue system on Wednesday, 24th October 2012, the change might affect the Television signal which transmits Church Services – it now appears that the signal is unaffected and therefore the Church Signal Transmissions should continue as before. This is the current position but it may change if extra restrictions emerge regarding the use of the analogue system which is likely to be used in other ways now that its use in national television broadcasting has changed. We shall keep you updated if any changes to the Millstreet Church Signal occur. (S.R.)
The finalisation of the process of handing over the lease by Cork Co. Council at Carnegie Hall to Millstreet Museum/Tourist Information Centre is very close at hand. Re-establishing the new setting involves significant costs especially in the purchase of new display units. This weekend’s annual church gate collection (11th/12th August) is our main source of funding and permits us to defray insurance, heating and lighting costs as well as funding limited development. It also allows us to help in the running costs associated with our Millstreet website. The kind generosity of the people who contribute annually is very much appreciated and is of vital importance. We thank you in advance for your kindness and for helping us to provide these local amenities. (S.R.)
