YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL JUNE MEETING
By Michael Twomey
Presentation by Edmond O’ Sullivan, Vetinary Department, Cork
County Council regarding dog fouling and general dog care.
Mr. O’ Sullivan gave an enlightened and oftentimes entertaining
presentation on dog fouling and dog care in general. He began by
listing the top complaints received by his office. He said the num-
ber one issue for the public is ’owned dogs out of control’ with the
second most common complaint being ’aggressive behaviour of
dogs’. The third highest problem noted was that of ’straying dogs’
with dog fouling the fourth matter on the shortlist to concern the
public. Mr. O’ Sullivan stated that there has been a ’dramatic
increase in complaints from residents associations’ and admitted
that it is a logistic ’nightmare’ trying to make penalties stick with
the difficulty of matching the owner with the dog. He was quick
to point out that the fault does not rest with the dog in all of the
aforementioned issues but with the owner of the dog. He added
that people ’detest’ dog fouling because it is ’aesthetically noxious’
and expressed his amazement that dog urine is ’not covered under
legislation’. Council members looked visibly disgusted as Mr. O’
Sullivan ran through some of the health implications when dog
owners refuse to pick up dog foul. He said that some parasites can
survive for up to three days on waste and that one particular egg
with a thick layer has the ability to survive for five to ten years.
"This could be on the sand a child is playing with," he said.
"Every time a stool is passed an egg is present," he added. Most
surprisingly was the statistics for prosecution of dog owners. Mr.
O’ Sullivan said that as far as he knows only one prosecution has
been carried out in the last 6-7 years. "Legal people are loath to do
it," he said. He then informed the members of the type of action
the Cork County Council takes. He presented leaflets on respon-
sible dog ownership and poster warning of the dangers to public
health, adding that the posters had had a dramatic effect in
Midleton. He added that he has visited primary schools to educate
children on dog ownership. Mr. O’ Sullivan stressed that there is a
perception that Councils are obliged to provide dog litterbins. He
said this was not the case and that ’any bin will do’ for owners
looking to dispose of dog foul. He added that he ’does not like’ the
pooper-scooper bags and said a plastic scented bag used typically
for nappies are much more effective. Cllr. Casey asked if the
health of the dog would make a difference to the toxins in the dog
foul. Mr. O’ Sullivan confirmed that a well cared for dog helps the
issue of public health. Cllr. Revins ventured that tagging the dogs
would help with identification. Mr. O’ Sullivan agreed and said all
dogs would be ’microchipped’ with greyhounds being exempt.
Cllr. Linehan-Foley wanted clarification on the matter of ’danger-
ous dogs’. She said some owners of dogs such bull terriers are liv-
ing in areas not suitable for such animals. "Can anybody own any
kind of dog," she asked. Mr. O’ Sullivan confirmed that this is
indeed the case. He said owners are obliged to follow guidelines
for restricted dogs such as muzzling but admitted that only a dog
warden witnessing abuse of guidelines could lead to investigation.
He added that the other alternative was for residents to submit a
written and signed complaint. "Which doesn’t happen for obvious
reasons," he concluded. Cllr. Beecher said he had not seen any
poster on public health in Youghal. Cllr. Linehan-Foley said the
Tidy Towns committee is against having them erected. The Mayor
asked the Cllrs. to defer discussing this matter until a later date.
Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from the Monthly
Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on 12th May 2008.
HOUSING & BUILDING:
1. The tenders for the planned maintenance contract for the bal-
ance of Council houses in Dermot Hurley Estate are due to be
opened at tonight’s monthly meeting of the Council. The tenders
will then be passed to the Council’s Technical Staff for assessment
prior to the appointment of a contractor.
2. We will be advertising four new affordable houses at Ardan na
Mara this week, they consist of 1 x 2 bedroomed house, 2 x 3 bed-
roomed house and 1 larger 3 bedroomed house. Application forms
are currently available from the offices of Youghal Town Council.
Youghal News.....June 12th 2008
ROADS & FOOTPATHS:
1. The manager has recently signed a contract with John
McMahon Underground Services Ltd. for the Heritage
Regeneration Works on Church Street. The contract value is
573,916 (inc. VAT) and is 6 months long. Works on the street
have recently commenced with temporary traffic restrictions etc.
in place for the duration of the contract.
2. The contract for laying out the DeValera Street Car Park has
recently been signed. Ken Hogan Groundworks Ltd. have recent-
ly commenced works on the contract which is twelve weeks long.
This contract will result in a further thirty seven car parking
spaces for the main street are of the
Town.
WATER:
1. The reservoirs are currently at full storage capacity with an
average daily demand approaching 600,000 gallons per day.
2. I am unaware of any problems with the Waste Water Drainage
System currently and all pump stations seem to be working satis-
factorily.
OPEN SPACES:
1. All the town planting should be completed later this week and
the repainting works at the 1798 Memorial Park and on going and
nearing completion.
Votes of Congratulations.
Cllr. Beecher congratulated all involved in the recent dredging
from the jetty to the mall. Cllr. Linehan-Foley congratulated the
efforts of Chatterbox who, she said are doing ’great work for the
kids of the town’. She also praised Finbarr Hannon and Harmony
on their very successful show ’From Here to Broadway’.
Cllr. Revins congratulated the Munster rugby team on lifting the
European Cup and all those connected to Youghal Rugby.
Town Foreman’s Report.
Cllr. Linehan-Foley asked that the Council find funding from
’somewhere’ to get the millennium playground reopened. She said
she has had a lot of correspondence from the public on the matter
and said the public is reticent to use the other playgrounds in the
estates ’because they feel the playgrounds belong to the estates’.
She asked if there was ’any news from Bus Eireann’ in relation to
the suspension of the proposed Catherine St. bus stop. She added
that walkers using the town walls sally ports are requesting that a
bin be erected for dog foul. Cllr. Casey picked up the thread by
requesting bins be erected for walkers on the ’one mile route’ from
the golf links entrance on Golf Links Rd. to the top of Raheen
Park. He also recommended the use of plastic bags, which he
noted, are hung at cemetery gates for free in London. Cllr. Burke
had a number of items. He said the chains at the diving rocks need
replacing, grass at the town walls shop needs cutting and asked if
the Council website is under reconstruction. The Town Clerk con-
firmed that it is. Cllr. Revins informed the members that Seafield
Estate is experiencing some anti-social behaviour and suggested
that lighting would improve the situation. Cllr. Murray said an
extra bin is needed in the Mall area. She also suggested that sand
would be a cost effective alternative to rubber in the millennium
playground. She added that the Catherine St. car park is in need of
a ’lick of paint while the ’low wall below the entrance to the Golf
Club has fallen’. Cllr. McLellan informed the chamber that the car
park at Raheen Rd. ’needs spraying’. She added that ’taxis are
mounting the footpath at the end of Windmill Hill’. She asked that
a bollard be erected to prevent this as some altercation had recent-
ly taken place when a taxi had endangered a disabled pedestrian.
She asked that footpaths adjacent to St. Mary’s church be repaired.
The Town Clerk replied that the paths are included in the Church
St. regeneration programme. Cllr. Beecher lamented the gathering
of youths indulging in underage drinking at the back of Green
Park on Friday nights. He said the park is littered with bottles and
said the Council might let their concerns be known to the Garda .
He cited the entrance to Green Hole as ’dangerous’ and concluded
with a request to have the overgrowth behind St. Mary’s grounds
Youghal News.....June 12th 2008
YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL JUNE MEETING
the Garda . He cited the entrance to Green Hole as ’dangerous’ and
concluded with a request to have the overgrowth behind St.
Mary’s grounds cut. The Town Clerk said he would reply to all
queries in his monthly report but wished to express his views on
the playground at the Millennium Garden. He said Youghal had no
playgrounds in 2000 and can now boast three. He said ’a lot of
money’ had been spent and that the playground is in need of resur-
facing. He confirmed the Council is ’awaiting funding from
RAPID’ which, he said, typically comes in June. The mayor said
the town was ’very honoured’ to have three playgrounds and the
Council ’would do the best we can’ to have all three operating at
this time of year. The mayor then expressed his dismay at the
ongoing disruption caused by boy racers. He said the situation is
’getting out of control’. He praised the Garda for their efforts but
bemoaned the continuation of the problems suffered by locals as
a result of boy racing activity. Cllr. Beecher likened the Claycastle
car park to ’Mondello race course’. Cllr. McLellan said she had
experienced ’a near miss’ by the railway station when a boy racer
tried ’to overtake another car on a corner’. Cllr. Beecher expressed
the view that Garda technology should move from analogue radio
to digital to prevent boy racers from tracking their movements
while Cllr. Linehan-Foley said the Garda had been present at
Claycastle ’for the past three nights’.
Cork County Council Items.
Cllr. Burke asked if the County Manager is satisfied with the
progress being made in the pursuit of a blue flag for Red Barn.
He said there would be no better way for Youghal to ’bounce back’
than to have ’three blue flags in 2009’. He again requested that the
double yellow lines at the entrance to the Coast Guard Station be
extended to prevent ’large jeeps’ obstructing the view of exiting
traffic. He said the odours from the landfill site are ’still bad’. He
asked if for an update on traffic management plans for the bottom
of Cork Hill, requested that footpaths be repaired at Tallow St. and
Strand St. and wanted to know if there will be any funding made
available this year for the front strand promenade. He concluded
by asking if the Council intended to continue with their plain to
put recycling bins by the railway station.
Cllr. Linehan-Foley wanted to know if there had been any feed-
back regarding her request to have the Rifle Range removed. She
asked that her proposal to push on with a campaign to reopen
Youghal Railway would not ’slip away’. The Town Clerk said he
had written to the Department of Transport and is awaiting a reply.
Cllr. Beecher informed CCC that there are two pot holes at the
Quarry Rd. one of which, he said, is ’caving in underneath’. "The
stopcock cover outside the Thai restaurant is missing and needs
replacing," he added. He again reminded CCC that disabled
spaces have been requested for both Raheen Park and the Coast
Guard Station.
Cllr. Murray wondered why work at SruthÆn na Sall had come to
a stop. She advised CCC of a pot hole outside the Coffee Pot. She
then expressed the view that ’something has to be done about
Claycastle (boy racers) before adding that while cutting has taken
place at the slob bank a section was left. She took this opportuni-
ty to suggest that the slob bank walk be extended.
Cllr. Casey asked that the Council ’move with the times’ regarding
a traffic management plan for Youghal. He expressed his desire to
see the introduction of mini roundabouts, extensively used
throughout Europe, and the construction of emergency service
friendly ramps ’that only slow down speeding traffic’. Cllr. Savage
asked that CCC not to forget the extension of the outfall pipe at
the front strand. Cllr. Beecher revisited the dog fouling issue by
stating his wish to see public health posters erected at the begin-
ning and end of all popular walks.
Mayor’s Business.
The mayor expressed his gratitude to the Youghal GAA club for
their hospitality to Eastern Europeans on a bike tour recently. He
also thanked Michael Hussey, Christy Parker and Seany Ring as
well, as Doyles chip shop. The Mayor paid tribute to the Public
Realm Conference saying it was a ’great showcase’ for the town.
Praise was also forthcoming for art students at Pobailscoil na
Tr on ide for their efforts in creating posters for disability aware-
ness. He said he hoped the Council ’might use the winning entry’
for the Council’s own campaign for creating awareness. The
Mayor counteracted the negative publicity over the recent loss of
a blue flag on the front strand by expressing his pride at erecting
the blue flag for Claycastle beach. "We should remember that
some coastal towns don’t have any blue flag," he said. Cllr.
Murray added that following forthnightly checks on water quality
the water in Youghal is ’now perfect on all three beaches’.
Report of the Harbour Municipal Policy Committee by Cllr.
Casey.
Cllr. casey said that the aim of the committee is still to achieve a
’world class marina for Youghal’. He added that the committee is
considering by-laws of Kinsale regarding moorings and might
adopt similar laws. He said members had looked at the possibili-
ties for raising funds for a launching facility on the quayside with
the Town Clerk offering two other locations as suitable launch
zones. He concluded that new signage on speed limits within the
bay are being made available.
Report on Claycastle Leisure Company Ltd. by Cllr. Casey.
Cllr. Casey was happy to report on all positive aspects of the
Leisure centre in its financial reports and in its popularity amongst
the public. "I’m delighted to see it being so well attended and
operated," he said.
Report on Hatherton, T/A enterprise Youghal by Cllr.
McLellan.
Reporting on progress at St. Mary’s College Cllr. McLellan said
’progress is good and works should be completed in approximate-
ly six weeks’. She added. "There is a problem with the tower and
that needs to be underpinned, as it is a listed building." The Cllr.
continued that ministerial consent would need to be ’sought’ and
Archaeological Consultant, Dan Noonan has requested this con-
sent. She said the cost of office space has yet to be finalized but
suggested that rates would be ’very reasonable’. She concluded.
"A site tour was organized so the board could see first hand the
transformation of the building and the views were spectacular."
Update of the Thundercats European Beach Challenge 2008.
The Town Clerk said ’everything is going well’ adding. "We are all
very much looking forward to it."
Date for Annual General Meeting of Youghal Town Council.
The date for the Annual General Meeting of Youghal Town
Council is June 16th and will begin at 6.45.
Any Other Business.
Cllr. Linehan-Foley asked that some decoration be applied to the
Porte cabin on the quayside in order to brighten it up for the
upcoming Thundercats event. She said some people were under
the impression that it is for the Kathleen and May, which she
stressed is now gone. The Cllr. also asked that the Council support
young archer Katie O’ Brien who is hoping to go to Egypt for
Olympic training by affording her some much needed funding to
pursue her chosen sport.

COUNTY COUNCIL NEWS
By Cllr. Barbara Murray
GOOD NEWS FOR FRONT STRAND YOUGHAL
While so far we have not suceeded in regaining our Blue Flag for
this beach, the visitors to the Front Strand can swim with the
knowledge that the water is of a Blue Flag standard. There have
been two water quality tests done in the past three weeks and both
have shown that the water quality is of a very high standard. I
would be hopeful that we will regain our Blue Flag for next year,
it would be highly unlikely that we could have such a bad combi-
nation of weather conditions hit us again all at the one time. The
Blue Flags will be announced in Dundalk on Monday June 9th and
formal handing over of flags to each area will take place shortly
after. Claycastle will have a Blue Flag and a lot of work is being
undertaken to ensure that Redbarn will also be a recipent in the
near future. Water quality testing is also being done for Redbarn
and again the tests are excellant and meet Blue Flag standard,
carparking is presently being worked on.
Slob bank Amenity Walk Work has started to improve this won-
derful walk. Grasscutting and spraying should be all finished in
the next week or so. The continuation of this walkway will be pur-
sued and hopefully general improvements will be visible all
round. This particular walk is enjoyed by an enormous number of
people every day and I have no doubt that there are many out there
that have never esperienced this wonderful facility.
Struhan na Sali Works ongoing on this County Council affordable
housing estate. The green area will now be a usable space with the
provision of additional badly needed carparking spaces. These
works should make a huge improvement to the area.
LANDFILL SITE
A lot of work has been undertaken by Cork County Council to
alleviate the odours that are coming from the Landfill. The latest
update is that the contract for capping works has being fast-
tracked, it is envisaged that the installation of a capping system for
the landfill is the permanent solution to the odour issue at the land-
fill.. The capping works for Cells 6,7 & 8 started on June 3rd, the
contractor is also preparing a detailed works programme and time-
frame for the project at present also the contract is being tailored
to address sources of fugitive emissions of gas from the site. The
capping involves sealing the cells with a covering of heavy duty
plastic that will be welded together, when cell is completely cov-
ered it will then be covered with soil with ventilation pipes
stragetically placed to allow for gases that are to be flared, it will
be a much more controlled situation. Hopefully there should be
major improvements, in addition the amount of waste being taken
in at present is decreasing with waste collectors looking for alter-
native landfill. The Youghal landfill has about 12 - 18 months left
before ceasing to operate.
MAJOR ROADWORKS TAKING PLACE
Main Street Midleton will be closed from the Gyratory to the Main
St. Junction with The Rock. The works are scheduled to take place
from Monday June 23rd to Friday 18th July 5pm. The purpose of
the proposed temporary closure is to facilitate full road recon-
struction including installation of ducting and drainage, recon-
struction and resurfacing of roadway and road markings.
Alternative Route is as follows: For Main St. traffic - via
Riverside Way, Balick Road, and CBS Rd., Dungourney Road
traffic - Via Broomfield Village, and Mill Road. The area engineer
has assured the traders of Midleton that this work will be done in
the fastest possible timeframe. It is unfortunate that these works
had to be done during the summer months, but on this occassion
it was unavoidable. I would be advocating that no major infrastur-
al works take place in any of our towns and villages during the
months of July, August and December.
Killeagh The works in Killeagh will commence during September
and finish in January. The contract will include two men operat-
ing a stop and go system. There is no alternative route suggested,
but most local traffic will be aware of options that can be taken.
Further updates will be passed on nearer to time.
N25 between Carrigtohill and Midleton The proposed closure of
several medians on the N25 has caused huge concern for the peo-
ple of Carrigtohill in particular. The Midleton Area Committee
would not agree to sign off on this proposal until the short term
options and longterm options were put out to public consultation
especially for the people of the area to have their say. These sug-
gested median closures are as a result of a safety review on the
N25 between Carrigtohill and Midleton, it was felt that the closure
of 4 of the median openings and the realignment of the remaining
2 median openings would benefit all road users by making this
section of road safer. Meeting will be held outlining both sets of
plans early July.
Addressing Litter on N25 The whole issue of how we deal with
this problem has had an enormous amount of media coverage.
Cork County Council have started litter picking and grass/hedge
cutting in the last month. In order to maintain the N25 with one
grasscutting operation and one spraying operation it is at a cost of
about 200,000 to the Council. It would seem fairly obvious that
the resouces are just not there to maintain the upkeep that is
required in order that the area in general would look presentable
at all times. With the support of the Midleton Area Committee a
motion has gone forward on behalf of Cllr Barbara Murray calling
on the NRA to remove all landscaping from the middle of the N25
and replace with a concrete barrier. These barriers are already in
place in the South Link Rd and also on the Watergrasshill road.
They look clean, slick and there is no maintenance, there would
also be the advantage of gaining more road space. Response from
NRA is awaited.

lover of books," said his wife, Bridget at the ceremony. "He would
have been so happy to know that his painting was hung in the
library where so many people can enjoy it."
Youghal Visual Arts Festival would like to thank the Cork County
Librarian, Ruth Flanagan for her support and for allowing them to
use the space for the first ever festival. They would also like to
thank her for making the journey to Youghal amidst her busy
schedule to receive the painting on behalf of the Youghal Town
Library.

At 4pm on a warm Friday in May a small but intimate
group of family and friends gathered in the Youghal Town Library
to witness the presentation of an oil painting by local artist the late

Billy Flavin.
In the first year of the Youghal Visual Arts Festival the festival’s stone.
Central Gallery was opened for the week to the public in what is
now the Youghal Town Library. The space lent itself well as a
visual arts space and a huge array of local, national and interna-
tional artists displayed work for the week. Among these exhibitors
was a local artist by the name of Billy Flavin. Word had got to the
Free Quotations
festival committee that he had some paintings that would fit well All work fully guaranteed
in the exhibition and after further investigation this proved to be

BLACKWATER
very true. Billy was invited to exhibit a selection of his work in the
Central Gallery as part of the ’Moments’ exhibition and in a local
shop window as part of the ’Walking Gallery’.

BLINDS
As part of the ’not for profit’ ethos of the festival it was decided
that a painting would be purchased by the festival committee to be
donated to a local public space as thanks to the towns people for
the support that they gave to the first Visual Arts Festival. An oil Curraghboy, Youghal, Co. Cork.
painting entitled ’Winter’ by Billy Flavin was selected. Tel: 024 92850/93469 Fax: 024-92977
At this point in time the Youghal Library was in process of relo- Manufacturers of Quality Blinds
cating to the site of the Central Gallery and it was decided that the

opening date was nearly a year later on the 6th June 2007. Opening Hours:

ARCHER KATIE AIMS FOR

SPONSORSHIP

Eochaill One of Youghal’s most promising young sports stars is hoping she
can fulfill her immense promise despite increasing demands on
her time and
resources.

titles. She has
represented her
country over
the past two years, and was part of the squad that finished second
in the 2007 Euronations championships.
Already being coached by Irish national coach Hans Brun, at the
Artemis Cork Archeries club, Katie is deemed a potential future
Olympian -possibly London in 2012. Her immense potential has
seen her selected to travel to Egypt at the end of June. "It will be
tweleve days of Olympic style training, where we will shoot 450
arrows per day," says the excited teenager. Afterwards she is
expected to join the Irish Junior squad prior to the 2008
Euronations in Wales and, should Ireland enter, the World
Championships in Turkey in September.
Her very participation and her progress beyond these competitions
is in serious doubt however. Presently unemployed, the strain on
her resources is immense. "I have to travel to Cork every week to
train at Artemis and I also travel there to practice in my dad’s
backyard whenever I can. Then I have to travel to competitions all
over the country and buy equipment, which is very expensive,"
she explains. "Its very hard because I get no funding whatsoever.
The Sports Council will fund part of our Egypt expenses but we
have to contribute to that too."
While her family do what they can, Katie has now composed let-
ters seeking help from local and Cork businesses. "I desperately
need sponsorship of some sort," she pleads, her eyes, for the first
time, losing their sparkle when talking of the sport for which she
lives. "I don’t care if it’s one off, a longer term sponsorship deal or
if I can get some sort of work to get the finances I need to keep
going."
Friendly and inherently humorous, Katie’s pre-occupation with
her precision sport is neither novel nor new. "I can’t remember
what first inspired me, but I remember shooting arrows when I
was just five, during a trip to Wales," she smiles. "I can’t remem-
ber never wanting to shoot." She joined Artemis four years ago,
since when her ability has blossomed. The eldest of four girls, she
"simply couldn’t live" without the sport. "I injured my shoulder a
few months ago and nearly cracked up," she declares earnestly.
When not pointing an arrow, music is one of the few other strings
to her bow. It’s not a participatry pursuit of course, but Nirvana,
Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Lincoln Park, manage to hit the mark.
Elsewhere, the Munster and Ireland rugby sides may somehow
manage to distract her gaze, though not for long!
Archery is one of Ireland’s less debated sports. The country’s
Olympic representation is usually quite small, since first being
represented by James Conroy at the 1976 games. In 1984, two
women, Hazel Greene (20th place) and Mary Vaughan (39th) car-
ried the flag. "We’ve yet to win a medal," Katie sighs. Perhaps

YOUGHAL ATHLETIC CLUB
ALL IRELAND SCHOOLS
CHAMPIONSHIPS TULLAMORE
Michael Healy Nikita Savage
On Saturday the 31st of May the All Ireland School
Championships were held in Tullamore Co Offaly, Youghal
Athletic Club had 3 athletes competing at the championships
which is possibly the biggest of all underage competitions in the
Country, where the top athletes compete in Categories (junior,
Intermediate and Senior) instead of individual age groups.
YOUGHAL CYMS GO
INTERNATIONAL
On the weekend of July 5th the Irish U14 snooker teams will take
part in the International Challenge Cup against teams from Wales
and Northern Ireland, Ireland will be attempting to retain the tro-
phy which it won last year in terrific fashion against Wales and
Qatar with Youghal’s Christopher Cooney as part of the victorious
team. This year Youghal CYMS will make a major contribution
to the Irish teams when no less than 3 of our juniors will be repre-
senting their country in the Ivy Snooker Rooms in Carlow.
Michael Hennessy of the Market Square, brother of James
Hennessy our first junior international, Aaron Tobin of Chestnut
Drive and Kenny Wight of the Golf Links Road grandson of the
late Jack Trihy, will play for Ireland for the first time. The qualifi-
cation for this honour was attained by the boys playing in ranking
tournaments in Carlow over the past 6 mths. This has been a won-
derful achievement, the 3 boys have brought great honour not only
to the CYMS but also to their town of Youghal and of course to
their families as well. Michael, Aaron and Kenny are excellent
young members of the Youghal CYMS. Their attention to prac-
tice, advice and their down to earth attitude will stand them in
good stead when they take part in this international tournament
and all of the members wish the lads every success. Over the last
3 years 5 junior members of our society have represented their
country these boys represent everything that sport should be about,
the "occasion" alone of playing for your country is an experience
in itself, and it is important that these 3 young boys enjoy the
moment and keep their feet firmly on the ground. I am sure that
these young boys will perform in a manner that will do justice to
their endeavours.
Youghal CYMS Internationals Kenny Wight, Michael Hennessy and Aaron Tobin
First in action was Nikita Savage in the Intermediate Girls Pole
Vault competition where 9 athletes were competing for the medals.
Nikita started the competition with a clearance of 2.20 and was
successful at 2.40,2.50 and 2.60. Nikita took the silver medal los-
ing out only on count back as she had cleared the same height as
the winner.
Michael Healy competed in the Intermediate Boys High Jump in
which was a really tight competition, made more interesting by a
thundershower just before the start of the competition, making
jumping very difficult. Michael entered the competition at 1.70
and worked his way through the height to clear 1.85 metres miss-
ing out narrowly on 1.89. Michael won the Silver medal, just
missing out on the gold on count back. Michael also competed in
the discus where he finished 6th with a throw of 36.5 metres
In the junior girls Javelin Patricia Curtin was competing in her first
ever all Ireland Schools Competition. Patricia threw 25.33 metres
to gain 6th place, this was excellent throwing by Patricia and was
competing against girls a year older than her.
It was a fantastic performance all round by the Athletes concerned
not alone to get this far but to be able to compete at such a high
standard. Great credit must go to the teachers involved in making
possible for the Athletes competing at school level, especially Mr.
Raceivic of Pobalscoil Na Trionoide.
A special thanks to Emer Kelly who travelled to Tullamore on
Saturday and gave up her time to officiate at all the Pole Vault
Competitions.
Junior Snooker Team Finals
The junior snooker team finals were held last Saturday and all the
players showed great skill on the green baize. The players turned
out in the obligatory dress code, which was great to see. Snooker
amongst the juniors was never so popular at the society and all the
championship tables are in constant play. The tables are kept in
impeccable order due to the high standard of care by the four care-
takers and the tournament committee ran the event to a strict
timetable. The President of the Society William Kelly thanked all
those involved and a special mention to Brendan Cooney who
acted as tournament referee throughout the matches and co-ordi-
nated the event. Thanks also to all the junior scorekeepers who
played an important role for each of the matches. Well done to the
winners, the runners-up and to all the participants who took part in
this very competitive and enjoyable snooker tournament

visitors the opportunity to walk, stroll run or just sit and enjoy
its peaceful tranquility.
The scenic road from the Lower to the UpperCar Park is a beat-
iful walk in itself, many prefer to park below and use the foot-
path which runs parallel to this road.

THE THUNDERCATS ARE
COMING
New festival era beckons
102 NORTH MAIN STREET, YOUGHAL, CO. CORK.
TELEPHONE: 024 92189 FAX : 024 20912

Youghal is awash with anticipation as what is expected to be the
town’s finest ever festival draws closer from the horizon. On the
weekend June 20th-22nd, it will hit the shore, hopefully sweeping
all before it on a wave of celebration.
Anchoring it all is Thundercat racing. Over 30 of these high-speed,
versatile craft will compete in the Thundercat European Beach
Challenge at Claycastle. There will be eight races across two days
over a standard ’M’ shaped course (with chicane) of 400 by 300
metres. Up to 30,000 visitors are expected to watch the two-man
boats perform at over 60mph adjacent to shore.
The weekend will form part of the 2008 European Thundercat
RYA (Royal Yachting Association) Championship, which is run
over eight months. Primarily contested on UK and European cir-
cuits, this will mark its debut in Irish waters. The Youghal com-
petitors will largely be a mix of French, British and newly compet-
ing Irish racers.
The races will be conducted under the guidance of the Irish Sailing
Association’s new Motorboat Division. With Thundercat boats
costing as little as 12,000, the Association hopes the Youghal
venture will initiate a new dimension in watersports in Ireland.
Thundercats are derived from South Africa’s surf rescue boats,
which are designed to face extreme challenges. Skimming across

Chairman, Michael Farrell. Fionan Murray of Thundercat racing
rights holders Medaza, said his company were "flabbergasted by
the positive reaction from all quarters.. The co-operation has been
unbelievable," he concluded.
Medaza also own the rights to the proposed Northern Europe leg
of the ultra glamorous, super-rich P1 Power Boat World
Championships. Modelled on motor racing’s Formula 1, Youghal
remains favourite to host this mega event from 2009-13, with the
Thundercats considered a ’systems test’ for P1. Ultimately, assum-
ing government funding is forthcoming, P1 executives will decide
on Youghal’s candidacy. All may be known by September.
Acquisition of P1 would cast Youghal as a major water sports cen-
tre, with immense benefits for south Munster generally. It is esti-
mated that the three-day event alone would enhance the region by

Job creation, infrastructure improvements and maritime-related

Manager Patricia Power, with admirable perception. Meantime
Medaza say the option of Thundercat racing returning annually,
regardless of P1, "remains open."

SENSATIONAL FUNFAIR
FOR YOUGHAL
Youghal is to play host to a fantastic and unique theatrical funfair
called "Sensazione" for four nights starting on Tuesday 24th June.
The funfair is being brought to Youghal by the Midsummer
Festival who have decided to expand the festival outside of Cork
City with the help of Cork County and Youghal Town Councils,
and with the support of a few of us in Youghal who want more arts
activity happening in our town. I was asked by the Midsummer
Festival to "preview" the funfair in London, and I must say I think
it will be a big hit after it sets up in Catherine Street Car-park, right
at the heart of the town Centre.
Of course we in Youghal have a long and honourable tradition of
both funfair and circus, with our own Perks funfair having enter-
tained people in their thousands over the years. We have also
given great support to Fossetts and Duffys circuses, and only the
other day I was reminded that my own granduncle Danny
"Waddle" Sheehan was himself a professional acrobat, and part of
the famous "Amingos" that many of the old people of the town still
fondly remember.
"Sensazione" though is an entirely different experience to what
we have become accustomed to over the years.
From the minute you enter the funfair, you enter a world that is a
magical combination of stories and situations told by imaginative,
almost fairy tale characters. They will entertain you with brilliant
Spanish Dance, Fire Eating, acrobatic tricks, and great comedy
and stories.
Then there’s the funfair itself. From the outside it looks like many
a normal funfair. There is a big Ferris wheel, and a "magic round-
about" and two ferocious spinning wheels that will put the heart,
as they say, cross-ways in you.
But this is also where "Sensazione" is different from the rest.
There is no electricity used to power the funfair. In what must be
the ultimate statement in Eco-friendliness, the entire carnival is
"powered" by us, the audience.
So, the Ferris Wheel is powered by other machines, like hamster
wheels, that are great fun to run around in. And as you run around
on the wheel, this starts to turn the big Wheel.
Volunteers are needed to turn the "magic roundabout" while others
sit in pairs on turn-table seats. As the roundabout turns it trans-
forms into something else, in fact a kind of giant dress, and anoth-
er character appears, and another story is told to you as you turn.
All of this "harnessed" energy powers the carnival itself, and even
generates the electricity needed to light the funfair. The organis-
ers, in appreciation of all this thirsty work have even put in a bar,
and the drink is free. But you will have to cycle on the spot for a
few minutes to qualify for a token for your free refreshment.
"Sensazione" has won international acclaim for its imaginative
and innovative approach to circus, carnival, funfair and theatre.
This show won the Caixa Catalunya prize for the Best Premiere at
La Fira de Teatre in September 2007. The award is given by an
international jury of professionals from the performing arts.
The show is the brainchild of two extraordinary companies, Laika
and the Time Circus Collective. "Laika" is a theatre company
operating at an international level that creates ’theatre of the sens-
es’: imaginative productions aimed at children/youngsters and
grown-ups who have "retained their child-like capacity for sur-
prise". Time Circus Collective is a travelling company from
Antwerp. The commitment and daring with which they build their
machines is impressive. They create work with which man blends
with machine and the actor merges with his props.
Sensazione is suitable for adults and children over the age of 12,
the show lasts for 75 minutes, with no interval, although there are
pauses between sections of the show. Younger children will enjoy
the show too, but some of the machines are not really suitable for
them. On the night I saw the show at Victoria Park in London, I
brought along my cousin and her family, including my nephew of
eight years, who did like the rides, and was a little frustrated that
he couldn’t go on all of them. We also brought my five year old
niece, who was too small for all but one of the rides, but who was
enthralled and fascinated by the larger than life characters of the
Funfair actors, and their incredible stories and energetic acrobatics
and dance.
I think it is true to say that "Sensazione" will bring us on a journey
that reminds us of the best that childhood and dreaming has to
offer and Youghal is in for a real treat when "Sensazione" comes
on the 24th June. There are three shows: 6.30 p.m., 7.45 p.m. and
9 p.m. Midsummer Festival, the Tourist Office and Creeds are
selling tickets at 16 and 14 with special deals for families. The
show runs until Sunday 29th June.

The first good news for Youghal was the victory of L. Kelly and

More bad news for Youghal followed. Willy White and Danny Mc
Sweeney were two down with three to play. An intermittent piece
of good news for Youghal was that J.Colman and A. Ruxton were
winning comfortably out the course. So all present knew it was
down to Willy and Danny. It is no exageration to say that Willy
played wily and Danny was uncanny.
Willy put Danny on the green at the par three 16th. where two
putts for par won the hole. One down two to go. Danny hit a peach

condemned the bullying and scare tactics being used by the gov-
ernment to frighten those who believe that the Lisbon treaty is bad
for Ireland.
Martin Hallinan said: It is a sign of the government s frustration
that they have increasingly turned to bullying and scare tactics to
frighten off people from exercising their right to vote no.
When the French and Dutch rejected the Constitution in 2005 it
had no negative effect on their economies, and nor would it here.
Rather supporting the treaty will actively undermine workers pay
and conditions, threaten vital public services and assist in the
introduction of tax harmonisation.
When the French and the Dutch rejected the EU Constitution
their governments respected and defended the people s right to say
no. The Irish government needs to stand up for the interests of this
country and deal with the concerns, which people are raising.
I firmly believe the Irish people can secure a better deal if we
vote no on June 12th and give the Irish government a strong man-
date for new negotiations with our European partners.

YOUGHAL GAA
INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
YOUGHAL 0-8 v KISKEAM 0-10
Played in Mourne Abbey this championship encounter brought
out the best performance of the year from the Youghal Boys and
but for the lack of finishing power the outcome would have been
very diferent. Youghal started brightly but despite holding the
majority of posession were only two points up after the first quar-
ter. Kiskeam got on the scoreboard and seemed to pick up scores
whenever they were on the attack with a very lively full forward
line and Youghal struggled and had to work very hard for any
scores gained. The lack of a scoring forward proved the diference
as many chances went abegging both from play and frees. The
second half was much the same as Youghal moved the ball very
well from back to front but couldn’t finish off the moves and
Kiskeam scored with every attack. It was a game that the selectors
found hard to call afterwards, delighted with the effort from the
lads but a feeling of leaving this one behind having dominated
possession by at least a 60 - 40 percentage. Youghal now face the
dreaded relegation playoffs and lets hope we can survive this as
the future for football looks very secure with the potential being
shown by our underage and minor teams.

INTERMEDIATE HURLING LEAGUE 02/06/2008
YOUGHAL 0-14 v COURCEY ROVERS 2-7
A great game of Hurling played in near perfect conditions in
Copperalley. Youghal started well and were 0-9 to 0-2 at the break
against a Courcey side fancied to lift the County Championship.
John Grace was outstanding at full back and is realy making the
position his own after playing at centre back or midfield earlier in
the campaign. The midfield pairing of Damian Ring and Leigh
Desmond were always comfortable with the latter chipping in 7
points along the way. The forwards were lively and a brace from
Brendan Ring and Richie Cunningham saw Youghal in a very
comanding position going into the last few minutes only to con-
cede 2 goals late on to leave a nerve jangling finish.

BRICKEY RANGERS 1-8 v YOUGHAL 3-14
The score just about sums this one up. Youghal dominated from
the start and pulled some of their stronger players off at an early
stage to give the fringe players a chance to make their mark. It was
one way traffic throughout with Conor O’Sullivan directing things
from centre back. Barry Walsh had a fine game at corner back
dealing well with anything that came his way while the classy
Aaron Daly was always a thorn in the side of the Brickeys
defence.

Youghal News.....June 12th 2008
credit Youghal battled hard in the second half and playing without
two of their stronger players in the form of David O’Mahony and
Dean Lewis realy put it up to their opponents but never looked
like closing the gap. These lads can hold their heads high as they
are playing in a grade higher than they have ever done before and
are improving with every game.

U8 HURLING CHALLENGE
KILLEAGH 2-0 v YOUGHAL 1-1
The U8s travelled to Killeagh for their first ever away match and
only their second game ever on Tuesday evening and dominated
from the start with most of the play in the Killeagh half. Half for-
wards Jake Cooper and Padraig Quilligan kept the pressure on
while midfielder Liam Moylan opened the scoring with a long
range point. The half back line of Peter Kirk, Tiernan McCarthy
and Rory McSweeney ensured the ball was kept in the Killeagh
half and the pressure eventually paid off with a goal from Ross
Bulman before the break. Youghal were cought cold at the start of
the second half when Killeagh goaled and the game ebbed and
flowed from then on and Killeagh secured the win with another
Goal. The margin might have been greater but for a strong p_rfor-
mance from Connor Cremmin between the sticks for Youghal.
Once again this was a great peQormance from the Youghal boys
with great credit due to the coaches and selectors who give so
fr_ly of their time each and every Saturday Morning.

Youghal United Under 10

FC win Leonard Rodgers
Memorial Cup
The sun blazed down on Clashmore last Saturday, June 7th when
Youghal United U10’s won the Leonard Rodgers Memorial Cup
on Clashmore Ramblers’ football pitch at Pablo Park.
Leonard Rodgers was a native of Clashmore who invested a lot of
time and money into his local football club but sadly Leonard
passed away this year. This memorial was in his honour. 8 teams
participated for the first Memorial and hopefully there will be
many more to come.
It was an exciting, nail biting final between Youghal and Railway
Athletic FC from Kilkenny, who have been playing together as a
team for the last three years.
Both teams were as tough as nails, with strong skilful players on
both sides, but it was Youghal who had the strongest team and won
the day when it lead to penalties wining at 2 - 0. The penalties
started with Railway missing their first shot, then it was Youghal’s
turn with a goal from Peter Breslin, one super save from Aaron
Clohessy in goal for the Youghal team and the winning goal was
by Conor Walsh. What a triumph!
This was Youghal United’s U10 first competitive event and what a
strong team they are. If this under 10 team continue like this who
knows where they could take us!
Up the Youghal Boys!
A big thank you goes out to the professional organisation on the
day especially to Vinny Coonan and the parents of the Clasmore
Ramblers’ players who made cakes and sandwiches and cooked
burgers and hotdogs on the BBQ.

It was with deep appreciation that Youghal Golf Club took posses-
sion of a painting, by well known Cobh artist Phillip Grey, donat-
ed to the club by Maurice Kelly.
The painting depicts the fourth green as viewed from the tenth tee
box, and it is fitting that such a lovely painting of the fourth hole
is destined to hang in the 15th hole.
Maurice Kelly, who kindly commissioned the painting, left
Youghal in 1952 to make his fortune in the States. Like many of
the freshmen, Maurice succeeded admirably. Maurice started in
Chicago and travelled and moved extensively across the U.S.A.
before settling now in Nashville.
Maurice over the years continued to keep in contact with friends
and remaining family in Youghal and always had a soft touch for
Youghal Golf Club. The club is thankful for Maurice’s inspiring
support which he’s culminated in the presentation of this beautiful
painting.
Champion in Irish Dance for the second time. John was born in
Youghal in 1992 and lived in upper strand for 4years. In1996 he
moved to Kerry with his parents. His dad Tom Fitzgerald served
as a garda in Youghal for 29 years. His mom Eithne Keane is a
native of Youghal. His sister Jill went to presentation school in
Youghal for 3 years.
John has many dancing titles to his name ie Munster, All Ireland,
British National, and European. He took his 1st World
Championship U14 in 2006 beating competitors from all over the
world.
Following a disappointing personal performance in the 2007
World Championships John proved himself to be a true champ by
regaining the World title U16 on 26th March 2008 at the
Waterfront in Belfast. His dancing has brought him to many ven-
ues around the world both as a performer in shows and a competi-
tor. He also performs with Siamsa Tire [The National Folk
Theatre] throughout their summer season in Tralee.

YOUGHAL CYCLING CLUB
With the cycling season in full swing we held our first club tour of
the year on Sunday June 1st. Sign on was at the rugby club with
23 cyclists signing on. Riders travelled from Thurles ,Carrrick on
Suir and Midleton. A beautiful sunny morning and a challenging
scenic route set out by Gerry Geary and marshalled by Sean and
Alan with first aid back up provided as well. The route covered
85km leaving Youghal passing Knockanore into Cappoquin,
Lismore,Tallow,Conna, Ballynoe,Mount Uniacke and back to
Youghal through Killeagh. A refreshment stop was made in
Curraglass at The Plough with the riders fuelling up for the sec-
ond and challenging second part of the tour. Overall an enjoyable
morning of cycling was had by all with beautiful sunshine to top
it off.
The club hopes to run a similar tour in July, a date has yet to be
confirmed. Sunday August 17th sees the club annual Youghal
Cycling Challenge take place which is very well attended. This
tour will be 100km in distance taking place the week before the
Sean Kelly Tour providing perfect preparation for riders partici-
pating in the Kelly tour.
Training Spins take place Sunday mornings @ 9.00am and
Tuesday and Thursday evenings @ 7.00pm from outside Moby
Dicks (by clock gate) All newcomers welcome. For more info
check our website youghalcyclingclub.com
Provide tax exemptions for manufacturing and service jobs in
the area.
Provide a new hotel in the town.
Connect the area to the natural gas network.
Upgrade the local roads including the N25 road.
Lobbying
We are constantly lobbying for the upgrade of the N25 between
Youghal and Midleton. Recently the chamber met with Mr. Tony
Mullane the regional representative of the N.R.A on this matter.
We are now pleased to announce that we have been informed that
the N25 between Cork and Youghal is to be upgraded to a
Motorway. We have been campaigning for this for a long time.
This is fantastic news for the town which will benefit the viability
of the town from both a Tourism and construction point of view.
This will make Youghal an attractive place to live which will
encourage people to locate to Youghal as the commuting time to
cork will be greatly reduced. Which will in turn will help to sus-
tain the Construction Industry

 YOUGHAL BEACH FAILS Pobalscoil Na Tr on ide
TO MEET EU STANDARDS Credit Union Prizewinners
Youghal is now one of four Irish beaches which failed to meet EU
water standards.
The European Commission’s annual bathing water report shows
that most of Ireland’s beaches met EU hygiene standards in 2007.
Some 97% of coastal bathing areas and 100% of bathing sites in
rivers and lakes comply with the mandatory standards set out in
the EU’s Bathing Water Directive. This compares to EU averages
of 95% for beaches and 89% for rivers and lakes. Just 4 Irish
beaches failed to meet the minimum requirements - these were Na
Forbacha and Clifden in Co. Galway, Balbriggan in Co. Dublin
and the main beach in Youghal Co. Cork.

Background
Every year EU Member States are obliged to report on the quality
of their coastal and freshwater bathing areas. Bathing waters are
tested against a number of physical, chemical and microbiological
parameters for which the Bathing Water Directive sets out manda-
Parents and pupils of Knockanore National School on their sponsored walk
tory values. Member States must comply with the mandatory val-
ues but may adopt the stricter standards and non-binding guide
values.
New bathing water legislation was adopted in 2006 to ensure
coherence with other EU water legislation and in particular the
Water Framework Directive. It updates the parameter and the
monitoring provisions with the latest scientific knowledge and
places greater emphasis on providing information to the public on
the quality of bathing areas. Member States had until March 2008
to transpose the directive into national law, but Member States
have until 2015 to implement it fully.

Dundalk O.B. Race Result 25/05/08
What a difference a week can make if the weather is right. This
week our race was from Dundalk in Co. Louth. The birds were lib-
erated at 1pm in a strong N/E wind. The birds were flying just over
153 miles and were expected in a little over 3 hours. Timmy
Fitzgerald however had other ideas and thought it would be a very
fast race and how right he was. Timmy/The Doc (as he is known
by all fanciers) clocked three birds together at 3.17pm to record a
very high velocity and fly at the speed of 67 miles per hour.
The Full Result is as follows: 1st T. Fitzgerald1984 YPM, 2nd T.
Fitzgrald1982 YPM, 3rd T. Fitzgerald 1977 YPM, 4th M. Aherne
1974 YPM, M. Aherne 1972 YPM.
The Club would like to thank all its sponsors.

EUROPEAN DESTINATIONS

Ken Hogan
OF EXCELLENCE
Tourism & Local Intangible Heritage Competition 08
Result & Report

Youghal was pipped to the post in the recent European

Destinations of Excellence - Tourism & Intangible Heritage
Competition 2008 by the eventual winners, Carlingford & The
Groundworks
Cooley Peninsula, Co. Louth.
Following an intensive evaluation process of the top 5 destinations
by an expert panel of adjudicators, the Youghal Socio-Economic Tel 089 4105559
Development Group (the applicant on behalf of Youghal) were
highly recommended by the panel for their levels of commitment
in developing Youghal and their presentation of the destination.
The evaluation panel made the following comments and recom-
mendations:
House Building
• This is a very impressive group and destination. The group has
the capacity to use their experience and to move Youghal forward Extensions
All Paving & Slabbing
in the future.
• To ensure their position in the top five destinations, Youghal sub-
mitted an excellent application. It was well presented and concise
with plenty of relevant information and good visuals.
• The heritage regeneration and socio-economic plan is excellent
Full Range of Groundworks
and could be a best practice model for similar destinations
• Progress on action plans to date has been very good; in particu- Carried Out
lar, work on living culture is evident and plans in place will ensure
sustainability.
• Priority should be given to developing core products (i.e. walk-
ing, cycling, etc.) for the target market. Call Ken today for a Free
• There is a wealth of resources in Youghal but more development
of these is needed to make them accessible to the visitor Quotation on 089 4105559
• The target market for Youghal should be segmented and focused
packages developed. Consideration should be given to developing
packages outside of the main tourist season.

• A good comprehensive presentation was provided by a very pro-
fessional group with good representation and partnership in place.
Commenting on the report, Tourism Development Officer for
Youghal, Aileen Ahern said:
"While it was disappointing to have missed out on the overall
prize, the application and evaluation process show just how much
Youghal has developed as a tourist destination. It was a great
achievement to get into the top 5 out of all the entries made. We
know we still have a lot of hard work ahead, but with various ini-
tiatives such as the upcoming European Beach Challenge,, the re-
developed www.youghal.ie and a tourism marketing plan for the
town underway, the future is looking a lot brighter for tourism in
the town."
ARDMORE/GRANGE ICA NEWS
The first five months of 2008 have been fun filled and eventful.
This started in January when to chase away the Winter blues we
had a Makeover by Avril Geary, where we learned how to accen-
tuate our many good points and how to hide our bad ones (not that
they were too evident anyway!).
In February we had a very successful Bring & Buy Sale, the pro-
ceeds of which went to Waterford Hospice & St. Vincents
Hospital, Dungarvan. In April Eileen O’Callaghan gave a very
informative and enjoyable talk on our Millenium quilt which won
first prize in the Federation competition in 2000. A talk was given
by Ann Harty on our Carbon Footprints in April which was very
educational. Our Choir participated in the Baumann Shield in
Abbeyleix under the musical direction of Jane Knight and a great
day was had by all. Congratulations to Tramore guild who won the
Baumann Shield.
Congratulations to Paula King, Judy Nolan and Ann Hally who
came second in the quiz recently held in Lemybrien.
Best wishes to our eight members who are attending the Waterford

COUNCIL AWAITING IT’S OFFICIAL - SUMMER’S
50,000 FOR PLAYGROUND HERE AS BLUE FLAG IS
RESTORATION WORK. RAISED IN YOUGHAL
By Christy Parker Youghal’s Claycastle Beach was once again confirmed as one of
Parents will be pleased to know that repair work on the Millennium
Park playground is likely to begin shortly. The facility has been
closed since early in the year, as the Council seeks 50,000 fund-
ing to undertake the work. ’We hope the money likely to come on
stream imminently and the work can begin,’ says Town Clerk Liam
Ryan. ’It should be open before summer ends.’
As well as repairs to the playground structures the chief outlay
focuses on a new surface. The present tattered tiling system is to beSpeaking at the Flag raising ceremony at Claycastle Beach, Aileen
replaced by a different system of ground covering, Mr Ryan
explains, adding that, contrary to rumour, "no claims have been
lodged against the council" in regard to the playground.
Playground maintenance -not unlike children themselves- is a cost-
ly exercise. While Youghal’s other two playgrounds at Chestnut
Drive and Blackwater Heights continue to flourish, Mr. Ryan
reveals that over 60,000 has been invested in them in recent
times.
Meanwhile the Council is looking at a site near the town centre
with a view to establishing another outdoor games and play area.
Team sport facilities like basketball would be facilitated on what
amounts to under an acre of space. Further information on this ini- serves to motivate us to work towards our target for Youghal of

DEFIBRILLATOR CAMPAIGN
Killeagh/Inch Community Council are exploring the possibility of
providing a Defibrillator for community use in Killeagh village.
This will involve fundraising to raise funds to purchase a
Defibrillator and also to train a number of people in the use of
same. Any business or individual in our Parish who would be
willing to either assist in fundraising or make a donation towards
this cause please contact your local community council rep. who
will be glad to provide you with further information or alternative-

Remember if one life is saved our efforts will be rewarded.
Speed Up New N25 Improvements
Between Youghal and Midleton
Cllr Martin Hallinan has expressed disappointment at the pace of
the proposed improvements on the N25 between Midleton and
Youghal and called on the National Roads Authority to give that
stretch of road the priority it needs.
The urgent need for major improvements on this stretch of road,
such as the by-passes for Castlemartyr and Killeagh is not being
responded to by the National Roads Authority (NRA) with suffi-
cient urgency. We need a dual carriageway, including a by pass of
each village, between Midleton and Youghal,
The development of Killeagh and Castlemartyr is being hampered
by the volume of traffic each town has to endure and urgent relief
is needed. Youghal needs good transport access if it is to reverse
the flow of jobs and investment from the town.
While I welcome the announcement that planning and design
works have begun, the NRA needs to get its finger out and provide
the type of road which will begin to deal with the serious lack of
infrastructural development in this part of East Cork. It has to give
priority to speedily completing a dual carriageway between
Midleton and Youghal.

the best beaches in the world when it was awarded ’Blue Flag
Status’ by An Taisce on Monday 9th June 2008.
Blue Flag is a prestigious, international award scheme which acts
as a guarantee to tourists that the beach they are visiting is one of
the best in the world. It is awarded to coastal destinations which
have achieved the highest quality in water, facilities, safety, envi-
ronmental education and management.
Ahern Tourism Development Officer for Youghal said: "The beach
here at Claycastle is a fabulous place to visit and that’s now offi-
cial. For the first time ever in Ireland Youghal was chosen to play
host to the Thundercat European Beach Challenge from 20th -
22nd June - international recognition of Youghal’s status as the
finest coastal resort in Ireland.
Local and County Councillor Barbara Murray, in welcoming the
Blue Flag award to Claycastle Beach commented "Its unfortunate
that we have just one blue flag beach this year, but we expect our
loss to be short term. One test (out of 10 taken), on one day cost
us the flag. But we fully support the decision of An Taisce, it only
having 3 blue flags, in Claycastle, Front Strand and Redbarn."
Redbarn beach has entered a pilot phase which will make it eligi-
ble for the blue flag award in 2009 providing it maintains its excel-
lent water quality.
A series of tests carried out in May on behalf of Cork County
Council on the water in Youghal’s Front Strand are also set to reas-
sure bathers that the beach is safe for swimming. Results confirm
water quality is firmly back to Blue Flag standards, a further indi-

HISTORY OF THE TENNIS CLUB

Youghal LTC has an illustrious history, with grass courts first laid in 1893
by the British regiment which was stationed in Youghal. The grounds Best Wishes to Youghal Lawn Tennis Club from
which were known as the paddocks enclosed by the original stone walls,
were donated to the Club by the Kenniry Family at a nominal rent for as
long as the game of Tennis is played there. Over the years the club has

Facilities Development Programme
In early 2003 the Club made a decision to borrow 95,000 to purchase the Peter Smith 087 2581015
lease for the grounds and to provide seed capital to fund a significant
upgrading and expansion of facilities. This decision was made so that the
Club could offer the very best facilities for local players and visitors alike. With Best Wishes to Youghal Tennis Club from
Works included in the programme are as follows:
• Renovation of the clubhouse
• Renovation and maintenance of the floodlight system John L. Keane & Son

Renovation of the clubhouse and floodlighting system was completed in Jacinta Madden, B.Ed. Anna Beresford, B.C.L.
