Regional Report 1220
by
Eily Buckley
Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1220 from Millstreet.Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this lovely Tuesday morning, the first one in June.The lovely Month of May is gone but not forgotten. It was celebrated in style here in Duhallow t hanks to IRD Duhallow and the many people all over the barony who helped to put a wonderful program together.
One for every single day of the month.
The choice was wide-ranging and flexible, which meant that there was something for everyone. From early morning outdoor Masses, to late night concerts and dances. From photography and tablet training to lunchtime dramas, the list goes on . Last Thursday night in the waking days of the month a wonderful variety concert was held at Freemount. For almost three hours the cream of Duhallow’s talent entertained the large crowd. And in line with true Duhallow hospitality, some welcome refreshments were served to all at half time.
I want to compliment the organisers on their superb nights entertainment and to thanks them for the great time that was had by all. [read more …] “Regional Report 1220”

Mick Casey And The Maple Ballroom
Although a fading memory it remains as a source of joy
Mick Casey owned the Maple Ballroom when i was a young boy
As the first Ballroom in Millstreet Town it became known far and wide
Far beyond the borders of the Duhallow countryside
A slightly built wiry looking gray haired fellow long before i reached my prime
Mick Casey was a carpenter and builder one ahead of his time
As a master builder of new homes he became widely known
The seeds of things of beauty in his brilliant mind was sown
Royal Millstreet Welcome for Kerry Rose 2014 Mary Hickey
A magnificent welcome awaited Teacher Mary Hickey of Rathmore on Monday morning when she arrived for work at Presentation N.S., Millstreet following her superb success in Tralee on Friday night when she was selected out of almost thirty beautiful Contestants as the Kerry Rose 2014 in the highly prestigious International Rose of Tralee Competition. We are all so delighted for Mary who would be a totally ideal overall winner in August when the two-night television spectacular takes place – even the official song says “Mary – the Rose of Tralee”! Here we share the marvellous photos of Teacher Joanna O’Connor which allow us to view the Monday morning welcome as well as the actual Friday night event in Tralee where Daithí Ó Sé was the excellent Presenter on the night. The late Teresa Tangney of Main Street, Millstreet and a native of North Kerry who was such a supremely wonderful member of our Teaching Staff in Presentation N.S. until she retired twelve years ago and who has sadly just very recently passed to her Eternal Reward (R.I.P.) would have been so thrilled with this historic occasion when two Kerry Flags and Kerry Balloons adorned the entrance to our school and the “Rose of Tralee” was sung by All with such great enthusiasm for Mary. We now share a selection of Joanna’s much appreciated pictures. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
We shall feature some further pictures later in the week following our visit to the School on Monday but now we continue to share Joanna’s splendid [read more …] “Royal Millstreet Welcome for Kerry Rose 2014 Mary Hickey”
