Superbly Successful Project by Joshua O’Sullivan, Ballydaly

After nearly 5 years growing, Maria Murray – Healy, of the Gilded Scissors, cut over 15 inches of hair off Joshua O’Sullivan, Ballydaly to donate to The Princess Trust /Locks of Love for Lauralynn on Saturday 2nd November 2024.  As well as donating the hair to the charity that makes real hair wigs for children and young adults, Joshua has also raised €2670 to date on a Gofundme page.  As each wig costs approximately €800 to make, that’s enough for 3 full wigs. The Gofundme page will be open for another week. Much appreciation to everyone who has donated.

Died: November 13th 2023

Acknowledgement & First Anniversary.

On the occasion of Tim’s first anniversary, his family would like to acknowledge the many gestures of kindness and sympathy shown to us throughout Tim’s illness and funeral.

We are deeply indebted to Dr. Michael Casey, the staff at Tullig Medical Centre, Mrs. Nora Casey, and Dr. Mark Henderson for the remarkable kindness and care shown to Tim.

A sincere thank you to Mulcahy’s Pharmacy, to our dedicated community health nurses, and to his committed carers at home and at Araglen House.

A sincere word of thanks to Canon John Fitzgerald PP, Millstreet, who concelebrated Tim’s funeral Mass along with the SMA Fathers. Thanks to Marcella, our sacristan, and to Sharon for her great assistance.

Thanks to Tim’s good friend Séamus and the choir, and organist Kathleen O’Connor, who greatly enhanced the celebration.

To Davy, Cora, and all at Tarrant’s Undertakers, we are most grateful for their professionalism and personal touch.

 A special thanks to our wonderful neighbours, relatives, and friends who supported us at this difficult time and to all who travelled long distances to be with us to share in our grief. Thanks to those who organized the parking and all who took part in the guard of honour.

 The numerous messages of condolence we received have been a huge consolation and all were gratefully appreciated. As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as an expression of our thanks and appreciation. The Holy Sacrifice of Mass has been offered for your intentions.

Tim’s first anniversary Mass will be celebrated in Ballydaly church on Sunday, 10th Nov. 2024 at 9:30 am.

Sports Capital Grant Funding

Millstreet GAA is thrilled to announce that we have secured €160,000 in sports capital grant funding to upgrade our beloved GAA Hall! Built in 1990, this hall has been a cornerstone for our community, and with this funding, we’ll be enhancing our facilities to ensure it’s accessible and welcoming to everyone.

A huge thank you goes to Michael Moynihan TD for his invaluable guidance and support throughout this process, from the early planning stages to delivering the great news!

We also want to give a big shoutout to Munster Drone Services for creating a superb video that strengthened our application and provided us with fantastic footage.

Our Club Development Committee at Millstreet GAA worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinating this application along with several other grants.

We couldn’t have achieved this without their dedication and the incredible support of our community members and local groups who supported the grant application.

We’re excited to get this project underway in the coming months and can’t wait to see the difference it will make for our community!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Together, we’re building a brighter future for Millstreet!
