Geography


The town is at the foot of Clara Mountain.

Culture


The Green Glens Arena, an entertainment complex and large equestrian centre, is located in Millstreet. It has hosted a number of major events, including the Eurovision Song Contest 1993, with Millstreet being the smallest town to host the competition.[3] After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the arena was agreed to be used for temporary accommodation for Ukrainian refugees.[4][5]

Since 1961, Millstreet Town Park has been used for a 'Christmas meeting' of a local coursing club. In 2021, the controversial practice of live hare coursing was subject to protest by local residents. [6]

Since 1985, the town has been twinned with Pommerit-le-Vicomte in Brittany, France.[7]


Amenities


The town's Roman Catholic church was built in 1833 and is dedicated to Saint Patrick.[8]

The town is on the Mallow–Killarney–Tralee line of the Irish railway network. Millstreet railway station, which opened in 1853 and closed for some goods traffic in 1976,[9][10] was refurbished in 1993 and remains open for passenger train services.[11]
