THOUGHT: If we draw near to Jesus Christ, life from Him will
pass into our hearts and minds, which life will show itself in
kindred fashion to what it wore in Jesus Christ, and will shape

to Him we have come…. You draw life from Jesus Christ if you
keep close to Him, Alexander MacLaren.

BUILDINGS: http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/
Muckross House, labelled “Muckross Abbey” on the first edition
of the Ordnance Survey (surveyed 1841; published 1846), is said
to be the fourth house erected by successive generations of the
Herbert family on lands granted (1586) in the Killarney district
by Queen Elizabeth (1533-1603; r. 1558-1603). Writing in 1837
Samuel Lewis commented that ‘Muckross House, the seat of H.A.
[Henry Arthur] Herbert, Esq., is situated in a demesne of
enchanting beauty. The old mansion has been taken down, and is
about to be rebuilt in a style according more with the beauty of
the grounds, and the numerous interesting objects in the
immediate vicinity: the road through the peninsula of Muckross
and across Brickeen bridge to the island of that name, will be
so improved as to form a delightful drive through the whole of
this romantic demesne’ (Lewis 1837 II, 127).
LEBANON: Tibnin Monument in South Lebanon is dedicated to the

Lebanon. Irish Defence Forces, have given 55 years of service on
peacekeeping operations.
DAIL: 22 Feb. 1951 Creamery facilities
Mr. Finucane: asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will
consider establishing a creamery at Coolard, Lisselton, County
Kerry, as the present travelling creamery is entirely inadequate
for the needs of the farmers in the area.
[571]Mr. Finucane: asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will
state the present position regarding the erection of a creamery
at Doon,
Ballybunion, County Kerry, and when the building is likely to be
completed.
Mr. Dillon: I propose a Ceann Chomhairle, with your permission,
to take Questions Nos. 32 and 34 together.
I am informed by the Dairy Disposal Company that it has decided
in the light of the experience gained as a result of the
operation of the travelling creamery which was put into
commission in both the Doon and Coolard areas during the 1950
season to abandon its original intention of erecting a
cream-separating station at Doon. The company now considers that
the needs of the farmers in the Doon and Coolard areas who had
previously to travel unduly long distances to the company’s
premises at Kilcoleman, Lisselton, Listowel and Ballylongford
are being adequately met by the travelling creamery service in
question, and in the circumstances it is not proposed to
establish a separating station at either Coolard or Doon.
Mr. Finucane: asked the Minister for Agriculture if he will
consider making available to farmers in the Duagh, Moyercha,
Droumnagoch areas a mobile milk separating unit operating from
the central creamery, Listowel, as such a service is urgently
required in these areas.
Mr. Dillon: I presume the Deputy has in mind the areas of
Duagh, Moynsha and Dromlegach in the neighbourhood of
Abbeyfeale. As a result of a survey of these areas made last
year it was considered that the quantity of milk in the areas
which was not being sent to existing creamery premises would not
justify the provision of a travelling creamery. I would suggest
that the farmers concerned should cooperate to arrange for the
conveyance of their combined milk supplies to the nearest
creameries. As the Deputy is, no doubt, aware, milk may be
conveyed to creameries for reward by owners of motor vehicles
who are not the holders of merchandise licences.
CAR BOOT SALE: The monthly fundraising Car Boot Sale and Indoor
Market in aid of WL102fm will take place next Sunday at the
Community Centre, NCW ( beside the GAA pitch). Gates will open
at 7.30am. Further information 06966200. West Limerick radio
is not for profit and the terms of its licence state that it
must raise 25% of its funding from fundraising.
