Boherquill Ramblers
The Ramblers travelled to Dublin in the Mullingar Garda Community Bus on Sunday 11 October 2026. A very enjoyable day started with tea and scones in Thomas Davis GAA Club in Tallaght and continued with good weather contributing to the great afternoon’s walk round the Bohernabreena reservoirs. Thank you to Mullingar Gardai for the use of the Community bus and to Camilla, the Garda driver who took such great care of the group.
Thanks also to Thomas Davis GAA Club for the delicious refreshments before the walk. Lastly, thanks to Ramblers Mary McHugh and her brother Francis who led the walk as well as Rambler Cathy Hopkins who arranged for the tea and scones. A group of Ramblers took a break in the Park Hotel in Dungarvan from Tuesday 6 October to Friday 9 October. They walked part of the Waterford Greenway, Ardmore cliff walk, Colligan Wood outside Dungarvan and Ann River Valley with plenty of other walks left behind for another visit.
Thank you to the Park Hotel for the excellent food, service and accommodation during the break, and to Patricia Bruton for organizing same. On Sunday 25 October the Ramblers will walk at Ballynacargy. Cars will meet at the church in Ballynacargy at 2pm.

Streete & District Heritage Society
Streete & District Heritage Society is a group of like-minded people with a shared love of our local history. Our aim is to record the story of our parish townland by townland – its people, homes, families, and the journeys of those who left Streete for new lives around the world. We want to map the heritage remembered by local people: old field names, wells, gates, forges, Mass paths, hedge schools, old roads, ruins and forgotten places, along with the stories attached to them.
We also hope to reconnect old homesteads and families with our local cemeteries, including burial places where no headstone remains, creating a simple searchable grave and plot finder. Above all, we want to preserve the knowledge held in our community before it is lost – ensuring every townland, every family and every story has its place in the history of Streete. We are asking people of all ages to get involved.
Become an ambassador for your townland, family or particular area of interest and help us uncover and preserve its story. We would especially love to hear from people who have left the parish but still call Streete home at heart. Wherever in the world you may be, you can still be part of preserving the story of where you came from.
To get involved or find out more, please contact Kevin on (087) 137 5222. Or email kbrady1964@gmail.com
