Greetings and a very happy and healthy New Year to all Kilmihil people and their descendants all over the world who read this website. Thanks to all who contacted us during the year especially those trying to trace their relatives in Kilmihil. It has been a mixed year some good, some bad but as history tells us some things never change

Ring out the old, ring in the new

Ring happy bells across the snow

The year is going, let him go

Ring out the false ring in the true

Ring out old shapes of foul disease

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold

Ring out the thousand wars of old

Ring in the thousand years of peace.

This extract from one of Tennyson’s poems was written in 1850 so our new year wishes are still the same. Nothing changes but where their is life there is hope. 

Happy new year

Kilmihil Community Development Association who are responsible for the Kilmihil website wish all Kilmihil people at home and abroad a very happy Christmas and a prosperous new year. We welcome all who have come for Christmas and hope your stay will be a happy one. If you could not come this time there is always next year.

Happy christmas everyone

Congratulations to Laura Egan, Cahermurphy who brought home two medals from the all Ireland cross country championships in Tramore, Co. Waterford.  She was part of the successful Clare and Munsdster teams. Also on the same Clare team was Aoife O’Gorman, Danganelly Cooraclare. Well done girls 

In boys under 14 Ian Slobody finished in 9th position and helped the Munster team to a gold medal

Hard luck to the Intermediate football team who lost the Munster final on Sunday. No fault to the lads who came up against a better team but congratulations for all the success and great pleasure given to supporters during the year.

What a wonderful day for the parish. Our women footballers won the all Ireland title in Tuam on Saturday last. It was a truly marvellous performance from all the girls and a great Kilmihil support were thrilled at the display. Congratulations to all involved, the panel and the management team.
