Eily’s Report – 4th February

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

You can’t bate (beat) the Irish. For weeks we’ve been punished and lashed by all kinds of weather, culminating in the worst gales that ever hit the land, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake and people on the point of despair.  Then a little over a week later along comes the Feast Day of St. Brigid and suddenly the mood changes into an extravaganza of celebrations and parades in every corner of the Country. I feel like saying ‘Congratulations Bridget at last you have ‘arrived’. A National Bank Holyday all to yourself.  Never have I seen so much excitement.  It was as though every community, every single person wanted to shake off the shackles of Storm Eowyn  and be part of it all. It was as though we were only too glad to change the subject and face the future with new hope, now that our Mary of the Gaels got her place among the Elite of the Great where we can pay new homage to her and be confident of her help in the future.

Afternoon Tea

 

Yesterday a very successful Afternoon Tea was held in Corkery’s Bar.  Originally planned for Women’s Little Christmas, the snow unfortunately put an abrupt stop to the plans. How fitting that, instead, it was held on the weekend of the feast day of St. Brigid.
Organised by the Juvenile board of Millstreet GAA and with food and table settings provided by The Pastry Fork, the entire afternoon went down a real treat.
A massive thank you to Patrick and Caroline Corkery who were so accommodating and helpful before, during and after the occasion. Thanks also to Margaret Barrett Mortgage Navigators for the very generous spot prizes.
A wonderful afternoon was had and it was agreed that it must become an annual event!

DAVID CONDON
Rathcoole, Mallow, Co. Cork
Who passed away on the 2nd February 2024.
Acknowledgment & 1st Anniversary

We, David’s family, would like to thank everyone that supported us during David’s Funeral. We would like to thank the First Responders and work colleagues who attended to David that day. We would like to thank our family, neighbours and friends who called to the house during the time we had David at home. We would like to thank people who sent Mass cards. We would like to thank Fr. Jack for the lovely Funeral Mass, David Tarrant Undertakers for the kindness and professionalism and Siobhan Burke for the lovely singing at the Church. While it’s impossible to thank everyone individually please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our appreciation.

It does not take a special day,
To bring you back to mind,
A day without a thought of you,
Is impossible to find.
Today we light a candle,
And say a special prayer,
We take a trip down memory lane,
And know that you are there.
This is your anniversary,
You would not want a fuss,
Just to be remembered,
And a prayer from all of us.
It is not what we write today,
It is not what we say,
It’s how your family feel today.
We think of you today,
We think of you in silence,
We talk about you too,
We have some great memories,
But we wish we still had you.

David’s first anniversary Mass will be celebrated in Dromagh Church on Sunday, 2nd February at 10 o’clock.
Sadly missed by his wife Mary, sons Dylan, Dean and Stephen his sisters Gillian and Kerry, his grand-daughters Hayley and Adeline, daughter-in-law to be Ciara and extended family.

Eily’s Report – 28th January

Dia is Mhuire díobh go léir a cáirde and welcome to my report.

Well, well, well, well what can we say, how can we talk about the strongest storms that ever hit our country.  No doubt we were well warned, but nothing prepares you for the extreme. You fool yourself along thinking that it can’t be as bad as they’re saying. We’ve been warned in the past and we felt that the warnings were overdone and foolishly told ourselves that it’ll be the same this time, but it wasn’t. Judging by the devastation that was done in other places, we feel that we didn’t fare too badly, really. We had very little disruption in our power supply and we are hearing from people from all parts of the country where they have no hope of it’s return until well into next month. One thing which struck me was a new departure, Electric cars. People were grounded in a way that they’d have a chance to go anywhere. Another first was to see a wind turbine, bent over.  One example the effects of the power cut was of a man who was invited to a birthday party up the country and the first thing he asked for was a shower, lucky for him he had a petrol car. We have yet to hear the many other stories of how the big wind affected others.
