Cllr. David Savage Elected Mayor of Youghal
By Michael Twomey
Cllr. David Savage was elected as Mayor of Youghal at the Town
Council’s Annual General Meeting last Wednesday evening. Cllr.
Savage won a majority with five votes. Nominated by Cllrs.
Linehan-Foley and the outgoing Mayor, Cllr. Revins, David
Savage took his elevated seat on the bench, seeing off competition
from Cllr. McLellan (nominated by Cllr. Hennessy) and Cllr.
Beecher (nominated by Cllr. Murray). Mayor Savage thanked the
members on accepting the post. He expressed his pleasure at being
part of the ’democratic’ process. "It’s nice to see democracy at
work. Everyone has a right to go forward and now I hope that we
can go forward together," he said. Following thanks to the ’excel-
lent Town Clerk, Liam Ryan’ and the ’ever present’ County
Manager, Declan Daly, Cllr. Savage addressed the members.
"There’s a great sense of pride and joy and honour in being the
Mayor of the town you grew up in. I’d like to pay tribute to Cllrs.
Linehan-Foley, Casey and Revins for their commitment and ded-
ication as the previous Mayors of this Council. We owe them huge
appreciation for that. They have raised the bar so high it will be
hard to step up to that standard," he said. Looking to the year
ahead the new Mayor cited two programmes as of particular
importance to him. "We are going through exciting times in
Youghal. We have the Heritage and Rejuvenation Plan and the
Development Plan for the town and I’m looking forward to co-
ordinating my role with that. I also hope that when I look back in
twelve months time we can say we achieved something," he
added. As part of his opening address as Chairman of the Council
the new Mayor had a novel proposal for his unsuspecting col-
leagues. "One thing I would like each member to consider is to
look at what you have achieved and what you would like to
achieve, call it a working document if you like. We can work
together on these so we can go forward as a Council with full
knowledge that we tried to deliver on our promises," he said. The
Mayor made an attempt to clarify his request when Cllr. Linehan-
Foley questioned the proposal by expressing some confusion to
the desired outcome. "There is nothing that I would say that I
achieved by myself. I don’t work like that. Anything that is
achieved is achieved by all nine Councillors. My personal agen-
das are similar to the other Councillors," she stated. The Mayor
explained that prior to the local elections Councillors would have
had a number of things they wanted to achieve. He cited these
issues as separate to those that ’go under the general workings of
the group’. Cllr. Murray referred to the Mayor’s proposal as a ’wish
list’ but Cllr. Beecher also sought clarification as to the Mayor’s
intent. "I would just like to know a little more about it," he said.
Mayor, Savage suggested that he may have left his proposal for
the next meeting for longer discussion and more transparency but
concluded that his idea was to have ’our own personal, internal
audit’.
New Mayor of Youghal Mr. David Savage with fellow councillors, Town Clerk Liam Ryan and Geraldine O’Connell YTC staff member
Newly-elected Mayor of Youghal Mr. David Savage with his wife Louise, children
Kate, Dean and Jane, his parents Ger and Helen and his sister Marguerite
The Town Clerk pointed out that ’individual’ agendas that do not
come to fruition are dealt with in ’unresolved motions’. It was
agreed to revisit the proposal at a later date. The Mayor then
received wishes of goodwill from the members. The post of
Deputy Mayor was then decided with Cllr. Revins being unop-
posed under the proposition of Cllr. Linehan-Foley and seconded
by Cllr. Savage. Prior to the appointment of Cllr. Savage as Mayor,
Cllr. Revins vacated the chair in the warmth of glowing praise
from his colleagues with the Cllr.’s ’fairness’ and ’commitment’
being the main tenet of their appraisal. Other expressions of value
placed on his office included - ’diligent’, ’wonderful’, ’proper gen-
tleman’ and ’great ambassador’. Cllr. Revins cited the opening of
the leisure centre and swimming pool and the heritage conference
on walled towns as the highlights of his year as Chairman of the
Council. He expressed unequivocal gratitude to Council staff
reserving ’special thanks’ for staff member, Geraldine O’ Connell.
"She has been fantastic to me and we spoke every week," he said.
He also afforded thanks to the Town Clerk for ’making my job
easy’. The outgoing Mayor added that it had ’been a good year’ and
hoped he had ’been fair’. He admitted that the role of Mayor is a
’hard one’ and juggling family life and business in conjunction with
the public engagements had it s demands. He did not allow the
opportunity to thank his wife, Kate pass by for her support over the
past twelve months. While reflecting on the pressures of the post,
Cllr. Revins could not hide his obvious pride when he added.
"Youghal is my home, we are all in this together." Following the
meeting, Mayor, Savage took a moment to reflect on his own wish
list. Asked if there was anything he would like to oversee in his
time on the chair his immediate response was to ’carry out this
office with the same respect as those who have gone before me’,
and in an ideal world? " to see new jobs for Youghal and the open-
ing of the Youghal-Cork railway line."

delighted to welcome and host a group of 22 Children & 5 adults
from Belarus as part of the Chernobyl Children s Project for a
week s holidays from Thursday 14th June until Thursday 21st

to see the ocean, and with the beach on the doorstep of the hotel,
it was a truly amazing experience that they will never forget.
As part of their holiday, Adi Roche (Chernobyl campaigner,
Robert Burns Humanitarian Award winner & founder of CCPI)
visited the hotel on Wednesday 20th June to meet with the children
and staff from the hotel prior to their farewell luncheon. Adi Roche

GALLAGHERS TERRACE -
PRESSURE KEPT ON
CORK COUNTY COUNCIL
Cork County Council officials have again come under pressure to
deal with the sewage situation in Gallagher s Terrace, Youghal
sooner rather than later. Cllr Martin Hallinan supported by
Councillor Barbara Murray and Councillor Noel Collins refused
to accept that the situation could remain as it is for another four
years until major new sewage works take place in Youghal.
I am embarrassed to be bringing this up 12 months after it was
first raised as a health hazard said Cllr Hallinan. This is a health
hazard affecting mostly elderly residents and must be dealt with
promptly. It is all the more urgent considering the County Council
engineer is unable to locate where the sewage from two houses
actually goes to.
After a robust and frank discussion the engineer pledged to go
away and see if he can raise the necessary funds to do the remedi-
al works. Be sure we will not be fobbed off on this one said Cllr
Hallinan. We want action not promises one this one

THE PASSING OF ST. MARY S
BRASS AND REED BAND
By Michael Twomey
The recent placing of Youghal’s defunct St. Mary’s Brass and Reed
Band practice room on the market has effectively closed the book
on the history of the band. The band, which preserves many mem-
ories of another age, had fallen into serious decline over the past
decade. Former Chairman, Seamus Murphy reflected this week on
the triumphs and struggles of what was for the musicians a labour
of love.
"It marks the end of the Youghal Brass and Reed band. We are
very saddened by it because it represents the passing of a piece of
Youghal’s history. We had hundreds of people pass through that
hall some who have gone on to be professionals," he said. That
achievement is too often understated. Indeed, Many young fledg-
ing musicians received his/her first musical lessons through the
band’s training programme while Pat and Mark O’Keeffe, Barry
Lawlor and Adrian Murphy all became professionals instrumen-
talists.
Seamus admitted that the demise of the band was in some ways
inevitable. "Our problem is our age. When we started out kids did-
n’t have the distractions they have today such as playstations. It
would be a lot more difficult to get kids into a cold hall now. Also,
if a kid is learning an instrument they can pick it up quickly but
you could be blowing a brass instrument for six months before
you get something out of it," he added.
The band started up during the Christmas period of 1969 when a
group of Youghal musicians who had their own instruments came
together to perform Christmas carols; a practice that holds partic-
ular sentimental value for many Youghal people.
Early the following year, 1970, St. Mary,s Brass and Reed Band
was formed at a meeting in the League of the Cross Hall. The
Band made its first official public performance at the Eucharistic
Procession of the same year.
The original founding members were, Andrew Cronin, Denis
Kelleher(conductor), Fred Dickinson, Jack Forrest, Ned Clancy,
Jim Roche and Billy O Connell.
In the following years the band became very active and performed
at numerous events. The Band was quite successful at competi-
tions winning in Cobh in 1979 and then had victories at Clonakilty
Band Festival in 1983, 1989 and 1993. As a result of the 2003 vic-
tory the Band was invited to participate in the Senior Section of
the Clonakilty Championships competing against Bands from all
over Ireland.
Indeed the Band was at such a high standard of musicianship that
it entered the National Championships in Athlone in 2002.
The purchase of the former Youghal Carpets Canteen in Store
Street as a Bandroom in 1985 marked a peak in the band’s for-
tunes. The Bandroom was officially opened by the Chairman of
Youghal UDC, the late Denis Murphy in June 1986. Bands from
all over Cork and Waterford came to Youghal to perform at the
event.
Seamus said upkeep was not easy for a band that did not have the
luxury of the sort of grant aids available to associations today. "We
often had 50 - 60 people in the room at a time. The members often
paid for the gas to heat the room out of their own pockets. We did-
n’t have funding and we funded our own trips through flag days
and the like."
St. Mary’s Brass and Reed band made their last public perform-
ance at the St.Patrick’s Day Parade in 2003.
Despite the band’s demise, Seamus believes the discipline of the
genre can continue. "Brass and reed music can survive in
Youghal. Three bands from Dungarvan competed in the county
competition in Clonakilty because they are well organized and
they ran a programme through the local school and that’s probably
the direction to go," he concluded.

Youghal Badminton Club
The Division 6 mixed team recently secured their second cup of
the season when capturing the Cork Mixed Handicap Cup title in
Mahon on Sunday 13th May against Churchtown of North Cork.
It was a difficult competition format for the team and in the final
had to concede a 10 point start in each game. It was a highly com-
petitive final and as in previous matches it went right down to the
wire. In the end the match finished all square with 3 victories a
piece and the verdict was decided on a countback. Thankfully, this
worked in Youghal’s favour by approximately 30 aces. The victo-
ry capped a great season for the club having already won the leaue
Division 6 County title a few weeks earlier. The team members
whose dedication throughout the long season ensured the success
of the club were: Marie Mason, Brighid Galvin, Tara Barron,
Caroline Davis, Sadie Doyle, SeÆn-Paul Grahame team captain,
Brendan Galvin, Ken Healy and vice-captain Tommy Roche.
The presentation of the County Cups took place in the Imperial
Hotel in Cork and the club’s success was celebrated long into the
night. The cups will be on display in the GAA hall when the bad-
minton season starts again in September. We will be hoping to
recruit further new members at that stage and the aim is to be in a
position to enter more teams into competition representing the
club. A more comprehensive Club Committee has been put in
place for the coming season to focus on getting the maximum ben-
efit for all the members from the clubs resources. A special word
of thanks must go to Marie Mason and Caroline Davis for their
very hard in this regard for the past season. The club would also
like to extend a special word of thanks again to all the support we
have received from Timmy Mason. All the advice and guidance
received from the badminton guru himself Martin Prendergast was
also much appreciated! Finally, the club would like to wish
Brighid Galvin all the best on her travels down under and we hope
to see her back playing with the club again in the future.

LOCALS GET THE WIND

UP OVER SLUDGE SMELL.
By Christy Parker
Residents and businesses in the vicinity of Youghal civic amenity
site (usually known as ’the dump’) at Foxhole have been enduring
discomfort from obnoxious smells from the facility in recent
months. Last week saw another flurry of phone calls and com-
plaints to Cork County Council as the prevailing winds wafted the
woeful odour across the adjacent Industrial Estate and beyond.
Due to its landfill facility, the EPA licensed the site last
September, to accept up to 9,700 tons of waste-water sludge (dry-
ish sewerage). This has arrived from waste water treatment plants
Agnes Cronin Sarsfield Terrace who celebrated her 90th birthday recently throughout County Cork, though according to site manager John
Paul O’Neill, it has "averaged about 300 tons per month" which is
far short of the permitted quota.
The sludge is unloaded and tipped into a fully lined area and thus
the terrible smell is released. Mr. O’Neill says prevalent south-
westerly winds have ’normally carried it towards the bay but
recently easterly winds have carried it towards the town". He con-
firms there have been several complaints in recent weeks, partic-
ularly since April.
The manager says that since January they have "reduced our
intake considerably and are trying to divert our remaining cus-
tomers to source treatment elsewhere. There are other technolo-
gies besides landfill for treating sludge nowadays. I expect the
problem to be fully resolved shortly".
The EPA says it visited the site last April on foot of complaints and
having conducted an odour assessment, "is liaising with Cork Co.
Youghal ICA Guild on their annual outing visited Holy Cross and Farney Castle
Council to ensure that the necessary management practices are in

is being made to eliminate the causes and protect the environ-

Youghal Town and Cork Co. Councillor Barbara Murray says Mr.
Lucey has assured her the problem is being addressed. She adds,
"This isn’t suitable for a tourist town and I certainly don’t like to
think that the smell is the first impression a visitor to Youghal
gets".
Meanwhile it appears that Cork County Council is in the process
of advising clients to send their sludge elsewhere while biding
time to allow them find such alternatives. Unfortunately Senior
County Civil Engineer Ted Lucey declined to come to the phone
last week to clarify what exactly the Co. Council are doing, in
practical terms, to assist this process. A spokeswoman on his
behalf said ’it’s a matter for individual waste water management
centres’.
The Youghal landfill is expected to reach capacity and close with-
in two years but even then trips to the seaside by sludge are
unlikely to cease. One "alternative" destination surely being con-
sidered by the Co. Council’s clients is the adjacent AVR treatment
centre. Granted licence under contentious circumstances, it is

been argued that odours will be contained. As Bob Dylan might
observe, the veracity or otherwise of that, will shortly "be blowing
in the wind." Lets hope it blows the right way.

Bonfire Night
Photo Michael Hussey
Bonfire Night is an annual celebration held on the 23rd June (St.
John’s Eve). The celebrations take place in towns and villages
across the country and centered around the summer solstice. The
custom dates back to pagan times. Bonfire Night was always cel-
ebrated in Youghal with bonfires in different parts of the town
but these customs and traditions are largely ignored nowadays.
The embers of this long tradition have become a burning or more
accurately a non-burning issue. The photograph shows every-
body enjoying the annual spectacle of the bonfire in the plot

CEOLTA SI KICK STARTS
THE SUMMER SEISIUN 07
Once again the onset of the summer season in Youghal is marked
by another season of Seisiun Ceolta Si-, Comhaltas Eocahille’s
annual show of traditional music, song, dance and storytelling.
Ceolta Si promises its most challenging and versatile season yet!
The group will perform 25 nights during the summer, as part of the
celebratory program of activities to mark the 25th anniversary of
the founding of Comhaltas in Youghal.
Through out the years, Ceolta Si has performed fundraising gigs
for a myriad of deserving charities and the 07 season will be no
exception. Already a number of nights have been committed to
supporting charities. Coming up in the next few weeks Cois
Abhann Retirement Home in Youghal and the Aursha Project in
Africa will benefit from Seisiun. These two nights will be held at
the Walter Raleigh Hotel, while Youghal Scouts and Guides plan
to celebrate their 70th year in Youghal at one of the Bru na Si
nights. A number of other groups have planned to visit the Taste
of Irish night, a new innovation this year which will be held in
Gazebo’s Restaurant.
The ethos of the group is to remain true to the original traditional
values of Irish music, song and dance. Ceolta Si group has gone to
great extents to explore the wealth and vast repertoire of tunes in
the Irish tradition. This information is available to the group
through the national archives The culmination of these efforts has
resulted in a display of traditional Irish roots music, song and
dance which cannot be matched, namely ’SEISIUN CEOLTA SI
07 ’. This year’s production team is led by Daithi Kearney
University College Cork and formally of Simsa Tire. Daithi has
been involved with Ceolta Si for the past two years.
The fact that Ceolta
Si was chosen by the
Mexican Embassy to
represent Ireland at
the very prestigious ’
O l l i n k a n
International World
Cultures Festival’
this April, massively
endorses the reputa-
tion and authenticity
of the show. To be
asked to deliver a
lecture on Irish tra-
ditional music, its roots and how it has survived is the ultimate
seal of approval. The prestigious festival proposes "a permanent
dialogue between nations and people who have kept their rituals
and traditions. "This foray to Mexico followed hot on the heels of
a wonderful venture to Wales in March. Ceolta Si entertained in
the Welsh Sennad (parliament) in Cardiff, again by invitation.
Another key element of the success of Ceolta Si over the years lies
in the fact that there is no age barrier; Young and old mingle com-
fortably in the laid back, friendly atmosphere of the summer
shows.
Comhaltas Youghal is a voluntary, not for profit organisation.
Any funds generated through the groups performances are put
back into the branch, which provides weekly music lessons for
children and adults; runs an outreach program to local schools and
co - ordinates other activities such as weekly step dancing and set
dancing classes, plus a local radio show, regular concerts and
shows. This is all coordinated from its own purpose built venue

shows. This is all coordinated from its own purpose built venue
and education centre - Bru na SI.
Many of the members of the Ceolta Si senior group began their
education and relationship with Irish music and dance through the
Youghal branch of Comhaltas. These people live and breathe the
music and their instruments on a daily basis - not just for the sum-
mer. They are committed and dedicated people who are true expo-
nents of traditional Irish roots music, song and dance.
So why not take the opportunity to experience true culture and

YOUGHAL UNITED A.F.C.
MAIN SPONSOR DR DEVELOPMENTS
AGM
The club held it’s annual agm in the league of the cross on
Saturday night last. On what was a difficult year on the field at
adult level and a successful year on the field at schoolboy/girl
level there was a lot to be discussed. What was good to see was
the input of some of the adult players that attended. Firstly club
Chairman; Billy Cotter addressed the meeting giving a rundown
on the clubs activities both on and off the field during the year. He
then handed over to Sally O Sullivan schoolboy/girl secretary who
gave the meeting a rundown on all the teams achievements during
the season, that actually only finished on the same day.
Liam Ryan the clubs treasurer then went through the clubs
finances for the year. Finally, before discussions under any other
business Anthony Horgan club secretary read out his report on the
adult section as well as the club as a whole. All those who gave
reports on the night must be congratulated on their very thorough
and well presented reports. Then there was numerous discussions
raised by different people on the floor regarding possible improve-
ments that could be made both on and off the field. With too many
to mention, one of the main points that came across, was the point
regarding help that was needed especially at kid’s level.
Over the next number of weeks the club will be actively seeking
to recruit people/parents to help out just 1 hour a week with the
coaching of kids in the age group of 7/10 years. At present there
are 70/80 kids in this age group which will be reduced drastically
if help isn’t forthcoming. The committee would like to thank all
those who attended the meeting and gave valuable input into a
constructive meeting.
Senior Team Management Announcement.
The club are delighted to announce the appointment of a new
management team for the senior team for the coming season. The
new manager Michael Durkin will be joined by Liam Ryan and
Davy O’Brien. Michael, who is finishing his UEFA B Licence this
year, is the most qualified coach within the club and throughout
the city and county for that matter. Liam who has worked with
Michael for the last couple of years will be joined by Davy in
helping Michael in developing a team and attitude to get back the
winning mentality. The club believe this will be a very successful
set up and will push the senior side forward in its quest for suc-
cess. Best of luck to the lads.
Under 12 Play-Off. The under 12’s unfortunately lost their play-
off against Kanturk last week by 4-1. All the goals were scored in
the first half with the lads just not performing against a team that
they had played twice already during the year, winning once and
losing once in what were always tight games. The lads who fin-
ished second will be promoted and got their runners- up medals on
the day. Well done to all concerned.
Under 13’s. The under 13’s lost their last game of the season away
to Crosshaven on Saturday last by three goals to one. Crosshaven
who have two games left this week, need to win the two of them
to overtake Youghal to win the league. Hopefully one of the teams
can do Youghal a favour by getting a result off them although
Youghal aren’t really expecting this to happen. At worst Youghal
will finish second and will be promoted, so well done to all
involved and fingers crossed.
Teams. The club are entering teams at schoolboy/girl level this
season ranging in age from 11 to 16 years of age and are looking
for managers for a couple of those teams. Anyone who would be
interested in either managing or helping out in any of the teams
should please contact any committee member over the coming
weeks to let their interest be known. The club will be looking to
enter a junior team as well this year. It is an area that we have had
trouble with over the last couple of years but is something that we
are trying hard to put right. We are preferably looking for a team
of 2/3 people to put their names forward to manage the team. If
the right management team can be found the club will do all in it’s
power to help make this section a success, as it is a very valuable
part of the club to back up the senior team.
Under 17. The club would like to congratulate Patrick Durkin on
his recent call up for trials for the Irish under 17 team. Patrick
travelled to Dublin on Saturday last for the trials, and will know
more about how he got on in the coming weeks. Best of luck to
him.
Cork under 13 Team. Well done to Ross McCarthy, who played
in the Cork Kennedy Cup team that eventually lost to the Dublin
district league in the competition final 2-0. Ross played his part in
most of the games including the final and did very well indeed.
National Irish Bank Summer Soccer Schools.
The club will be hosting the National Irish Bank Summer Soccer
School again this summer. The camp which is always a big hit
with all the kids that participate is open to girls and boys from the
ages of 7-15. The dates this summer are 2nd - 6th July. The cost
of the camp is 90. You can register online at www.fai.ie or tele-
phone 1890 653 653. If you register by June 1st you have the
option of personalising your kit. Each participant receives the fol-
lowing:
Special edition FAI Umbro Playing Kit; Special edition FAI
Umbro Football
Shoulder Bag; Water Bottle; Official Certificate of Participation;
Option to personalise and number your kit.
Attention Parents
The club are at the moment having difficulty in attracting people
in helping out with the younger kids added between 7-10. It is at
bursting point at the moment and already the people involved in
the coaching have had to cut the number of kids they can coach.
This has led to a lot of disappointment with kids that have been
told that they can no longer come to training as well as there par-
ents.
But the simple fact is that two people cannot train fifty or sixty
kids. We need people to get involved. If someone wants to get
involved please let someone within the club know. Basic coach-
ing is only needed for this age group and will be given to anyone
who wants to help. If no one comes forward them there will be a
lot of disappointment kids.
Dog Foul - Dog Ban
I am sorry to say that the club have to introduce a total ban on
dogs being let free or walked by there owners in the clubs grounds
at Ardrath Park. This is because of a very serious health and safe-
ty issue that has being getting progressively worse over the last
year. The amount of dog foul that is on the clubs pitches and train-
ing facilities is totally unacceptable. A lot of dog owners are
bringing there dogs into the grounds and letting them free and
don’t seem to care about the fouling.
Dog foul is a very serious hazard to players who, if they get it in
there eyes can be blinded in certain circumstances. Also this goes
for our FAS guys who when cutting the grass. Another aspect is
that it just isn’t nice for an eleven year old to fall on the ground
while playing a game and, get destroyed in dog foul which has
happened. Also a referee can call off a game if he deems the pitch
to be a health hazard to the players because of foul. Signs are in
the process of being erected notifying people of the ban. Please
respect them as it will be strictly enforced.
Advertising Signs
The club are in the process of writing to businesses that don’t have
an advertising sign in the club grounds. People are being asked to
see if they would be interested in erecting a sign to advertise there
business. The cost will be 150 a year rental charge which is only
3 a week. The first 150 would cover the cost of the sign and
erecting it. This would allow up to three main colours on the sign
and would be a standard 8 ft by 2 ft. Every year there after would
be rental charge. Anyone who has an interest can contact Damien
O’Brien on 086-1988526.
All-Weather Pitch
The clubs all-weather pitch is available for hire at 25 per hour for
five a side pitch or 50 for a full pitch. The man to contact is Chris

YOUGHAL TOURIST TRAIL
This tour will take about one hour. It starts at the Heritage Centre in the
old market house which was built on reclaimed land on the site of the
medieval harbour. The Heritage Centre will introduce you to the story of
Youghal and this trail will take You to see important landmarks in that
story.
(1) Water Gate
This Water Gate was built in the 13th century to provide access through
the town walls to the docks. It is still known as Cromwell’s Arch, as this
is the place from which Oliver Cromwell left Ireland in 1650.
(2) Clock Gate
This is the third gate on this site in the town walls and was completed in
1777. The tower was used as the town gaol until the mid-19th century.
Prisoners were executed by hanging from the windows.
(3) Main Street and Shops
The fronts of the buildings on the Main Street are stepped to follow the
curve of
the original shoreline. Many fine examples of 19th century
shopfronts survive today.
(4) St. John’s Priory
The Priory was founded in 1350. Small portions still survive, including
the door arch and small window on the street front.
5) The Red House
The Red House was built in the early 18th century for the Uniacke fami-
ly. It is reputed to be the only example of the Dutch or Queen Anne style
town house continuing in use as a private dwelling in Ireland.
(6) Tynte’s Castle
This 15th century Norman tower was used by a local merchant family as
a house and as a store for valuable goods. It is unusual to have such a for-
tified dwelling built inside the town walls. Sir Robert Tynte owned the
tower in the early 17th century - he married the widow of the poet
Edmund Spenser.
(7) Alms Houses
These houses were built in 1610 by Richard Boyle, first Earl of Cork, for
six old soldiers. The soldiers received a pension of £5 per annum. Some
of the houses were altered in the mid-19th century.
(8) Shalom House
The Protestant Asylum was built in 1838 by the Protestant Relief Society
to provide rooms for the homeless. It was renovated in 1992 to provide
sheltered housing and was renamed Shalom House
(9) Myrtle Grove
This attractive house was the home of Sir Walter Raleigh when he was
resident in Youghal. It was purchased by Richard Boyle, first Earl of Cork,
in 1602. It is a fine example of a late medieval dwelling. (Restricted open-
ing times, please contact the Tourist Information Office).
(10) St. Mary’s Collegiate Church
The church was built in 1220 and extended in the 14th and 15th centuries.
It is one of the few parish churches of the period still in use in Ireland. It
has a fascinating history which is fully illustrated in the church.
(11) Town Walls
The first record of the town walls is a charter of 1275, granted by King
Edward I, for their repair and extension. The walls surrounded the/town
on the shoreline as well as inland. Most of the inland portion still survives
today. A good vantage point is in the grounds of St. Mary’s Collegiate
Church.
(12) The College
The College was founded in 1464 by Thomas Fitzgerald, 7th Earl of
Desmond. It was referred to as the University of the City of Youghal in a
Letter from Pope Innocent VIII in 1492. It ceased to function in the late
16th century and very little of the original building remains today.
Completion of the Town Trail
Our Trail finishes at the College gates. You can explore the small lanes
and back
streets of Youghal or return to the Heritage Centre by the route you have
come.

GLOBAL VIEW AS YOUGHAL
CHILDREN CHOOSE THEIR
FAVOURITE PLACES.
By Christy Parker
Youghal Visual Arts Festival Committee deployed art to extract
wonderful insight from the landscape of modern childhood when
it asked the region’s youngest generations to express their feelings
on ’My Favourite Place’ recently. The intriguing responses from
pupils at four primary schools reflect modern influences as the
Eiffel Tower, Hollywood, Wembley Stadium, Lismore Towers and
a cruise liner vying with bedrooms, mum’s car, Youghal’s main
street, cows, bonfire night and cutting silage for the prime spot in
affections.
The project was an art competition run by the festival committee.
Over 400 children from Junior Infants to 6th year at Gaelscoil
Chorain, South Abbey NS, Bun Scoil Mhuire and Knockanore NS
were given three weeks to answer one the most traditional ques-
tions of any school bus journey.
Local, Cork-based artist Marcella Riordan judged the entries
according to class year (as against age), having poured over a mix-
ture of media on the floor of a room provided by the Walther
Raleigh hotel. "The children were allowed use whatever material
they wanted", says Youghal Visual Arts secretary Karen Gallogley.
"The really went for it and we got back a huge variety, from pen-
cils and crayons to paints and models made from paper and glue!
One entry involved rolls of silver paper shaped like the Eiffel
Tower".
The young minds displayed enough variation to give a college of
psychologists a year’s insomnia. The list included mother’s car, a
submarine (presumably not mother’s), bedrooms, the beach,
Youghal’s main street, Spain. a rocket, video shop, cinema,
Hollywood, Capel Island, cows, a forest, railway station and
Ballinatray House. There were several reassuring images of one’s
own front door, while picture poignancy emerged in depictions of
towns and streets in Poland and Estonia from immigrant children.
Nobody submitted an art gallery! Some parents’ reactions were
revealing too. "I didn’t know she had done any painting", said
some. "I haven’t seen it yet", said another more.
Initial plans to award each category 1st, 2nd and 3rd place recog-
nition was soon extended to additional ’Merit’ awards as an
impressed Marcella found it difficult to deprive several entries of
official recognition. There were 39 statuettes given out to the
selected best, with their entries to be displayed at Youghal’s new
library during the Visual Arts Festival from July 14th to 22nd. "Its
an ideal venue and will encourage the children’s interests in books
at the same time" says Karen. It might even become their favourite
place. See: www.youghalvisualartsfestival.net

morning as their races started at 9am. Tomas Coleman had an
excellent race coming 1st in the sprint and qualified for the semi-
finals. Unfortunately he was not as successful as in his first race.
The junior boys relay team (Danny Walsh, Oisin Keniry, Ross
Donavan and Rory Walsh) also did very well taking 3rd place. The
boys senior relay team (Peter Roche, Ronan O Sullivan, Mark
Coady and Tomas Coleman) came 6th in their relay.
The girls also did wonderfully with Cassie O’ Brien taking 1st
place in her sprint, coming 3rd in the semi-finals and coming an
excellent 5th place in the county finals! Jane Walsh also did well
by coming 1st in her sprint and taking 4th place in the semi-finals.
Emma Hennessy finished well in her race to come 2nd. The Girls
Junior Relay Team (Cassie O Brien, Marie Louise -Keane, Niamh
Crowley and Jane Walsh) came first winning a cup for their
school. The Girls Senior Relay Team (Emma Hennessy, Ciara
Brodrick-Farrell, Jessica Lawton and Sarah Mulcahy) were
unlucky in their relay, missing out on medals.

the Over 40 European Snooker Championships held at the Ivy

work to reach the semi final of a major tournament such as the
