 LABOUR PARTY RISES YOUGHAL ARTS NETWORK PRESENTS
FROM THE ASHES
By Christy Parker
TUXEDO JUNCTION
The Youghal branch of the Labour Party enjoyed a well-attended IN CONCERT AT THE MALL ARTS CENTRE
Photo Michael Hussey
re-launch at the Quays bar on Monday September 7th. The build-
ing itself didn't exist the last time the Labour Party held a meeting.
Now, decades later, the pendulum has swung (to the left perhaps)
and the bell has tolled the party's name. Like a sheepdog roused
from his sleep before the fire, there is work to be done -with per-
haps more than the odd stray sheep to be returned to the flock.
The party's revival has been reflected locally in the election last
June of Donie Daly to Youghal Town Council, providing a lynch-
pin for its renewal as political force in the town. Thus the re-
launch saw TD Sean Sherlock arrive to chair proceedings, with
Mayor of Cobh, John Mulvihill Jnr also attending. Not that the
past has gone away either you know, and it resurfaced with the
presence of two veteran comrades in Tomas O'Connell and Kevin
O'Brien.
The night was afresh with new faces however, many of whom
would have been too young to be served in a pub when Dick
Spring was leading the party through the light and into darkness. Eamonn O' Brien, Donacha O' Cearuill and Dermot Hennessy
Pleased with this favouring facet, Cllr Daly said the Labour party
is "giving a fresh new political option to such people, who are tired
and frustrated with the traditional, civil war political ideology and
weary of the extreme left wing policies of other parties." He
deemed the party's recent local election successes as an opportuni-
ty for the people of Youghal and east Cork to meet future chal-
lenges with "a strong, youthful and vibrant" public representation.
In the old, old days a financial consultant (if there were any) and
the Labour Party would have seemed as contradictory in terms as
a farmer in a fedora. Ireland has changed however and though it
may be changing back, it's taking a different route at least. There
was no irony in Cllr Daly proclaiming the challenges ahead as an
opportunity for the people of Youghal and east Cork to row in
behind the party
The ensuing formalities saw Tomas O'Conell elected branch
Chairman, with Sean Rush Deputy Chairman. Other appointments Robbie Curtin takes a nap during the concert with his parents Sarah and Noel,
are Shannon Coleman (Secretary), Donie Daly (PRO), Catherine brother Jack and cousin Oona Brosnan
Power (Treasurer), Tara O'Connell (Women's Officer) and Freda
Landers (Youth Liaison). Deputy Sherlock remarked on the pre-
ponderance of females as "unique" in his political experience. He
believed it augured well for the development of the party that they
would choose it as best representing their interests. Awakened
from its ling slumber, the party plans to prowl the political farm-
yard longterm and further meetings will be announced.

KGK COMMUNITY HALL
"Caring, sharing & growing together” that’s the aim of Tallow
Area Credit Union. They most certainly proved that on Friday 11th
September when Angela Leahy from Tallow Credit Union handed
over their very generous cheque to the KGK Community Sports
Hall. There to accept the cheque were the board of directors
Michael O’Neill, Mary Herlihy, Tony O’ Brien & James Tobin,
also present were committee members past & present. Chairman
Michael O’Neill said a few words mainly expressing our gratitude
to Tallow Credit Union. He then called on Angela Leahy to say a
few words. She acknowledged how she knew the majority of peo-
ple present and told how the Tallow Area Credit Union was happy
to be able to sponsor our hall as the aim is to serve its members
with their interests in mind. She wished to remind people they now
have an ATM Credit Union Money Card & many other excellent
services. It was then time to present the cheque & pose for photo-
graphs. There was
also a photo shoot of various committees that had been set up to
develop the hall. How nice it was to have all these people gathered
together within the hall that they helped to bring to fruition. People
mingled, socialised & reminisced of their endeavours while being
treated to a delicious array of finger foods and refreshments. We’d
like to thank all those involved in the catering for the night and

once again to all committee members for their hard word. It is now
time to look forward. With works about to begin on the new stage
& continued maintenance & running costs we must again express
our sincere gratitude to Tallow Area Credit Union, just like their
logo that of an acorn & oak leaf signifying their continued growth
perhaps we too can look at that logo & know that we will also con-
tinue to grow in providing an excellent facility for our communi-
ty.
Once again we’d like to remind people of our American Tea Party.
If you are planning to host a table it is very important to call &
reserve your place. Last orders must be in by September 20th as
we need to know exact numbers to get organised. If you feel you’d
like to go but don’t want to be a host or hostess then you are still
very welcome & we will endeavour to facilitate you just ring the
reservation number 086 2538272.There is a committee formed for
the sole purpose of the American Tea Party. They are working hard
behind the scenes to ensure an eventful & fun filled night will be
had by all.
The drama classes will be beginning on Thursday the 24th of
September from 3-4pm for children from 1st -6th class with only
20 places available. The cost is 50 euro for 10 weeks. The aim of
these classes is to bring enjoyment to children through the won-
derful creative art of drama thereby learning to express oneself
vocally & physically. For more information then call 058 55010.
That’s all for now. Remember -watch this space!

department appointed executive technician David Regan to inves-
tigate. Mr. Regan's report noted that the disputed area had been
"permanently fenced off" and that "no exemption exists for works
of this nature." On his recommendation, May 8th 2008, the
County Council issued notice to Valshan to restore the access. In
response, Valshan claimed, through its architects, Coughlan
DeKeyser Associates that their "legal advice is that there is no
right of way" and said the steps had been closed "due to being
unsafe."
Enforcement did not proceed and in October 2008, Waterford
County Council explained that 'warning letters are issued when a
complaint is received.' Given that there was a dispute, they now
considered it "a matter for the civil courts."
Matters abated until November 3rd 2008 when 13 sworn
Affidavits were handed to Waterford Council, each one arguing
through personal experience that the Steps had been, by long tra-
dition, a right of way. Five more were subsequently forwarded.
The witnesses include a former proprietor of the original Cliff
House hotel, locals and long-term visitors. Mention is made of the
Steps's practical, aesthetic and cultural consideration. Crucially,

YOUGHAL COMMUNITY ALERT SEPTEMBER MEETING
By Christy Parker
A gathering of approximately 20 attended the walter Raleigh on
Tuesday September 1st when the Youghal & District Community
Alerts resumed its monthly meetings following the August recess.
Committee members present were Chairman Mossie Lynch,
Treasurer Michael Beecher, Secretary Pa Forrest, Assist Secretary
Kay Curtin and Garda Sergeants John Sherkey (PR) and Paul
Kennedy.
Stastistics:
Recapping the previous six weeks, Sergeant Sharkey said criminal
and disorderly activity had, fortunately, been relaively low in the
region. The sergeant's subsequent report summarised garda inves-
tigations in the jurisdiction over the past six weeks as follows:
Thefts: 11; Fraud: 7; Drugs: 2; Public Order Offences: 11; Drivers
Under The Influence: 8; Criminal damage: 17; Burglary: 3;
Assaults: 3.
The gardai said that the majority of investigations been successful,
with some outstanding incidents likely to be brought to successful
conslusions in the coming weeks.
Phone & Tell:
Sergeant Sharkey reiterated that members of the public should
never hesitate to alert gardai with regard to witnessing suspicious
behaviour or holding concerns. In fact, he proceeded, on very quiet
nights the gardai would probably welcome the diversion!
Mr. Beecher remarked on the incidences of underage drinking and
mentioned specific areas of town where the problem appeared to
particularly manifest. Sergeant Sharkey said it would be impracti-
cal to mount surveillance programmes in these or other areas but
repeated the importance of reporting illegal behaviour. "We will
respond to every call and while sometimes culprits may be gone,
on the balance of probabalities we will catch them a lot of the
time," he assured.
Community Be Alert:
Chairman Mossy Lynch told the gathering that "community alert
is not just about all present here, but should be about the town as
a whole." He urged that "everyone should alert within their com-
munity." Mr. Lynch floated the idea of one or two people in differ-
ent areas being the focal point of community alertness on their
own and others' behalfs. However, it was deemed that it might
overburden such individuals, not to mention compromise their
lives generally and it was agreed that the community alert move-
ment is progressing satisfactorily as it is. It was also observed that
resident's networks have a vital role to play in community protec-
tion.
Halloween
Responding to a query from the floor, Sergeant Sharkey said there
would be "significant resources" deployed to meet the now
depressingly anticipated social disruptions attached to Halloween
night. It was put to the gardai that the town was insufficiently
policed last Halloween when particularly violent and disruptive
incidents evolved. Ironically, that night sparked increased interest
in the Community Alert project and strengthened the resolve of the
townspeople against social disruption.
General community policing
The gardai have no plans to allocate individual gardai to particu-
lar areas, Sergeant Sharkey said. He said the system, which oper-
ates in some towns, including Cobh, has inherent flaws in that
should a garda be absent, for example, incidents on his 'patch'
might suffer poor response. Also a garda in one area might carry a
far greater workload then others, he explained. The sergeant said
that as a rule the garda that responed to a call would deal with the
matter thereafter.
Alarms, CCTV, invitations, funds, bus and schools
The meeting heard that recession-rleated funding shortage is
delaying the processing of house alarm application forms. It had
been mooted earlier in the year that the funding which was frozen
pending a procedure reassesment, woud be resumed from
September 1st. However, further news had as yet not been forth-
coming. The forms remain in the garda station, with further appli-
cations welcomed.
The sergeant said a meeting with the relevant Rapid co-ordinator
regarding the application for CCTV funding for the town was
imminent. He said it took a lot of research and time to acquire an
accurate pre-tender estimate. He said the application could now
proceed but that funding again was a likely impediment.
Treasurer Michael Beecher confirmed that letters had been issued
to the council and the Chamber of Commerce formally inviting
them each to appoint a representative to attend Community Alert
meetings. It was noted that in particular Mayor Sandra McLellan,
Cllr Michelle Hennesssy and Cllr Beecher were regular partic-
pants anyway.
Mr. Beecher said the Community Alert group had raised almost
€800 through the July church gate collections. Following some
suggestions and a short discussion on how best to disperse the
money, it was agreed that it would best be spent on a "communi-
ty-based" project rather than administered to benefit individuals,
with an information session incorporated. Further discussion will
ensue.
Mr. Beecher referred to a pilot community bus scheme being man-
aged by the Youghal Transport Group. The group, of which he is
treasurer, intends to purchase a bus designed specifically with eld-
erly and disabled in mind. South & East Cork Area Development
(SECAD) had provided €4,500 funding. He said it was necessary
to be a group committee member to avail of the service and new
members are now being sought. Meanwhile the project (though
not the bus hopefully) was about to get "off the ground," and
would soon go to tender.
Sergeant Sharkey agreed with a view from the floor that a
Community Alert representative/s should endeavour to visit
Pobalscoil na Trionoide, particlarly perhaps transition year. He
said a visit need not specifically regard Community Alert business
but that it could be included within it.

Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on 13th July 2009.
YOUGHAL QUAY WALLS:
L & M Keating Ltd., have been awarded the contract for the repair
of the Quay Walls at the Pier Head and the northern section of
Greens Quay. The company have set up on site and are commenc-
ing works immediately. The duration of the Contract is 8 weeks

S.I. No. 481 of 2001.
YOUGHAL TOWN WALLS PROJECT:
Cornerstone Construction Ltd., have been awarded the contract for
the initial stabilisation works associated with the repair and re-
instatement of the collapsed section of the Walls (A National
Monument). The company have set up on site and are commenc-
ing their work schedule immediately. It is anticipated that this ini-
tial stage will be completed within six weeks. The value of this
section of the contract is €74,832.60 including vat and is funded

upstanding walls and the value of this contract is €10,266.75.
Nolan Ryan Tweeds have been appointed as Project Supervisor
Design Stage under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work
(Construction) Regulations S.I. No. 481 of 2001.
MILLENNIUM GARDEN PLAYGROUND:
The refurbished Millennium Garden Playground re-opened to the
public on the 26th August last. The entire playground was refur-
bished by Play & Leisure Services Ltd. at a total cost of
€84,655.00. Pro Safe Security Systems Ltd. have been appointed
to install a Playground CCTV System at the playground at a cost
of €9,887.20 including vat.
FÁILTE IRELAND SIGNAGE:
The Fáilte Ireland Directional Signage and Interpretative Signage
has been erected around the streets and car parks of the town. They
make a very positive impression and greatly enhance the tourist
attractions within the town. The total material costs amounted to
€49,323.00 with €47,305 directly funded by Fáilte Ireland through
their Heritage Towns Project.
MARKETING OF MALL ARTS CENTRE AND ST. MARY'S
COLLEGIATE CHURCH:
The following events took place or are planned for the above loca-
tions over the coming months and set a flavour of the potential of
both venues going forward, now that the marketing of same is
being orchestrated by Oona Colin of the Enterprise Centre.
St. Mary's Collegiate Church:
· Recital by Cologne Philharmonic Orchestra (August).
· Recital by the Epping Forest Band (August).
· The East Cork Early Music Festival (September 20th).
· Classical Concert planned for December.
Mall Arts Centre:
· Youth Arts Strategy Event (September 7th).
· Tuxedo Junction (18 piece swing band) (September 11th).
· Choke Comedy Group (October 9th).
· Brendan Grace (October 20th).
· John Kenny (October 28th).
· Finbarr Hannon & Harmony (December).
· 8 weeks of Art Classes are due to commence on October 6th.
The proceeds generated by these events are being reinvested in
both venues to ensure better event centres into the future.
FINANCIAL MATTERS:
The financial position of the Council deteriorated significantly
during the month of August. Expenditure for the first eight months
amounted to €2,938,831 while income for the same period
amounted to €2,835,481 resulting in a funding deficit of €103,350
Page 1
for that period. This deficit can be attributed directly to a decrease
in rate revenue by approximately €60,000 year to date, coupled
with delays in relation to grant payments from Government
Agencies and deficits associated with the roll out of the
Millennium Garden Playground. I am currently and will be over
the remaining four months of the year addressing these financial
difficulties, and will report to the Council monthly detailing the up
to date position and what actions I will be taking. It is important
that all revenue generating options be examined in conjunction
with reducing expenditure further for the 2010 Budget.
Church Street Delegation
Prior to the meeting proper, the Council welcomed a delegation
from Church Street. They included Clodagh Madden, spokes-
woman, Jerry McCarthy representing Shalom House and the Alms
houses, Mick Treacy of the Nook, Brendan McCarthy, father of
three small children and Kay O'Beirne, grandmother and regular
minder of two small grandchildren. They also had sanction from
tour guide Sheila Loughnane to speak on her behalf. They were
there to convey their concerns on the potential re-opening of the
laneway, which has been closed for two years, during and follow-
ing major landscaping work in keeping with the town's Heritage
Strategy and regeneration programme.
Heritage core
Ms. Madden said that while the laneway was now "peaceful, safe,
attractive and welcoming," with what little traffic that needed to
access being easily manageable. She first deliberated on the issue
from a tourism perspective. "It's the heart and obvious access to
major tourist and heritage sites in the town," she said. Tourist
numbers were not just rising significantly, with over 100 travers-
ing the lane last Friday alone, but doing so in a delightful ambi-
ence that was producing pleasant interaction between locals and
visitors delighted with the general area. "It's a contrast to the days
when they'd be flattened against walls by traffic," noted Ms
Madden.
The Nook proprietor Michael Treacy also emphasised the com-
mercial/tourism aspect of the lane, insisting that Youghal's indus-
trial profile with its "fast-buck" mentality was in the past, that her-
itage is its and that it "shouldn't take rocket science" to devise a
plan to minimise the traffic that threatened it.
The argument reflected more personal concerns when Jerry Mr.
McCarthy spoke of 25 residents of Shalom House having to "duck
into doorways" to avoid cars. Kay O'Beirne spoke of the dangers
posed to children by traffic on the narrow lane, not to mention the
cul-de-sac now discouraging so called joy riders. Parking was
largely a pleasure now, she emphasised but those parking in their
own premises would have difficulty accessing the lanes with a
constant traffic flow, as would wheelchair users. Brendan
McCarthy echoed the concerns in respect of his and others' chil-
dren. It would provide a nightmare journey for people with prams,
he added.
Cllr Barbara Murray was first to respond and her views would be
reflected in the subsequent sentiments of her colleagues. She
agreed that Church Street was now "gateway to the heritage core"
and also felt that pedestrianisation generally, was the way forward
for Youghal. The chamber was unanimous in its acceptance that
traffic would be bad for Church Street but, as Cllr Mary Linehan
Foley observed, there are still another five lanes to consider and
the knock-on effect that closing any one lane can have on the
remainder. She agreed with the sentiments but also found approval
for her insistence that the issue be considered in the wider context
of a proper traffic management plan.
Town Manager Patricia Power concurred and said she would set
about rallying a senior engineer and his forces to conduct a survey
with a view to devising such a plan.
Priestly problems
Progress on the issue had been faster than the traffic on the lane
used to be, but the delegation then presented a logjam. Ms.
Madden recalled a promise of "five parking spaces for residents of
Shalom House." However, a "certain priest" had, "without consul-
tation or planning permission,' managed to have installed three
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL SEPTEMBER MEETING
three bollards and a parking space for his personal use. At one
stage, the delegation reported, he had engaged "the most courteous
and considerate" of developers, John McMahon & Co, to erect a
fourth bollard but a lady driver had insistently sabotaged the plan
by parking on the site!
The council heard that the priest refuses to drive into the alleyway
where he lives and has not merely been stubborn but "very abu-
sive" when attempts have been made to persuade him to do so.
Letters had been dispatched, an Archbishop (appropriately) had
been invoked "and perhaps even the Pope," suggested Ms
Madden, but to no avail. Where the Church failed, so also had the
State. Gardai armed with measuring tapes had also failed to cajole
the man of the collar into confronting the demons of the alleyway,
with the power of petrol. It was decided that Town Clerk Liam
Ryan -a former altar boy allegedly- would best be suited to resolve
the riddle of the priest and the passageway.
Votes Of Congratulations:
Cllr Revins congratulated Pat Collins on re-opening Jack O'Patsy's
at Friar Street. He said a workforce of nine will be employed with
potential for 25 in due course. All products on sale within will be
made in Youghal, he added.
Cllr Linehan Foley congratulated Sinead Kane of Windmill Lane
for becoming Ireland's first blind solicitor. She paid tribute also to
all involved in the recent triathlon and the ill-fated, rain-soaked
Medieval day which, she noted, still attracted a steady "trickle" of
people. The councillor also congratulated Cara Moloney of Mill
who recently became the first female ever to become first in the
Potential NCO course. She congratulated in advance all partici-
pants in the Team Youghal entry for the All Ireland cycle race.
Cllr Donie Daly congratulated hurlers Leigh Desmond and
Brendan Ring on representing the successful Cork Intermediate
team over Kilkenny.
Cllr Michelle Hennessy congratulated six members of the Keniry
School of Dancing, two from Youghal and four from Midleton,
who performed "fantastically" in a show from Eurodisney on
September 3rd.
Mayor Sandra McLellan offered a vote of congratulations to
Gardai Pat Grace and Pat O'Leary on their retirements. She also
paid tribute to Dennis Desmond of O'Reilly's Terrace on the huge
success of his "absolutely fantastic" Epping Forest during their
visit to Youghal. She also congratulated Eddie O'Sullivan on his
new autobiography.
Town Foreman's report:
Cllr Linehan Foley said a recent outbreak of graffiti was a disgrace
and she hoped the gardai had apprehended those responsible. A
bollard "at Frankie Keane's place" needed re-erecting. She asked
who is responsible for Parklands, as a lot of residents have prob-
lems with faulty fireplaces. She said the developer was referring
them to the council but she didn't think the council had taken over
the estate yet. She suggested someone attend to a wall at Kilcoran
road, near Brendan Casey's as it seems about to fall.
Cllr Liam Burke said a cracked footpath at the bottom of Windmill
Lane needed attention. He sought updates on proposed landscap-
ing at Srathan na Sali. He reminded that the diving board needed
taking in at the end of the month, while the green area at the path
leading to the diving rocks needed cutting. Light no 4 at Shanavine
needed replacing, he concluded.
Cllr Donie Daly said residents at Sweetfield wanted a derelict site
next to a developed site restored to its previous state. Also, the
wooden, flower-adorned entrance sign at Sweetfield is "being
kicked by people' and perhaps a concrete solution could be found.
He too wanted a baby swing for the Millennium playground.
Residents at Mill road have a ponding problem. The roundabout at
Mill Road was a problem too as it was hard to see approaching
traffic from the town side approach. The sight lines at Magner's
Hill/Dermot Hurley presented a similar situation and speed ramps
for the front of Dermot Hurley estate were also required.
Site for Eyesores
Cllr Eoin Coyne said overhanging trees at Golf Links Road near
Poison Bush Lane badly needed trimming for the sake and safety
Page 2
of pedestrians. Two shores at the top of Sarsfield's Terrace needed
unblocking. He condemned the "dreadful eyesore" that is the old
Murray Kitchens (and would-be-Dunnes!) site, now despoiled
even further with graffiti. He requested that the owners be asked
to cut the grass at least. He sought a baby swing -with harness- for
the re-opened Millennium playground.
Cllr Hennessy had much of her list already aired but she said res-
idents at Parklands were wondering when the lights on the estate
would be activated given that the poles and bulbs were in place.
"Its pitch dark and children are out playing," she said. She said
hedges on private properties opposite Amber petrol station badly
needed pruning as they were intruding onto the footpath. She
repeated previous requests that the rockery at Dermot Hurly estate
be removed, before a bad accident occurred.
Lisbon
Cllr Murray wondered if the Council could draw on the bond if
there was nothing forthcoming from the developer's side at
Parklands. "Apparently there is a lot of rubble on the green area,"
she said. She said a new sign for Nealon's Quay is blocking sight
lines and also some of the signs for the Battle of Lisbon 2 should
be removed "regardless of what party" before they take the eye out
of someone's head or worse! (There was a general 'yes" to her pro-
posal). She said the town's bins were a mess, with curry sauce very
apparent. Cllr Linehan Foley asked were she sure it was curry
sauce?! The wall in Ashe Street, is "absolutely scary," she said,
with a bulging belly and a tendency to topple. She wanted the
ground arrows on Nealon's Quay car park painted.
Cllr Michael Beecher wanted trees near Artysan cut back though
he was unsure if it was a council matter and even if it was, which
council! He urged the Town Foreman to check for other obtrusive
trees also. He also wanted some "dangerous" tree stumps removed
from opposite the Town Hall (or Mall Arts Centre if you like). The
pavement and gutters at the tourist office and CYMS respectively
needed remedial attention. Graffiti around the town, he said, was
scandalous, as was dog fouling and general littering. "These peo-
ple should be caught and an example made of them," he insisted.
He said a hand railing was needed going into the sally port oppo-
site Cross Lane. A similar remedy was needed on steps to the foot-
path at Mill Road. He too was asked about the non-lights at
Parklands and he wondered what plans there were for the green
area at the entrance. He was told it was a private space and there
were currently no plans.
Cork County Council Items:
Cllr Murray said a dip on the road near the swimming pool need-
ed resolving. She was keen for landscaping at Srathan na Sali to
proceed. The bins at Claycastle needed to be emptied more fre-
quently, while the area to the right hand side, although merging
into private property from County Council land needed to be
cleaned up. She said there was "huge ponding" at Kia garage.
Cllr Beecher asked if there was any plan to alleviate flooding at
Quarry Road. He believed Kilcoran Road was "not on the Register
of Electors, nor on Sat Nav" and showed up as Knockaverry
instead." Cllr Linehan Foley (who lives there), vehemently dis-
agreed. Liam Ryan said the road was Kilcoran Road and the town-
land was Knockaverry. It was decided to "write to Franchise" to
resolve any discrepancy. The councillor repeated previous
requests for route information signs at the end of Cork Hill, two
'Fair Trade' signs at town approach roads and information signs on
the N25 indicating free main street parking from 1-2pm.
Cllr Hennessy asked if the road liners were returning as there were
still a lot of road marking needed. Cork County Council's Town
Engineer Paul Murray said he had completed the list he was given
but they would be returning from the country and a further list
could be considered. He warned that the road works budget was
now at €3,000 from the original €20,000. However more funds
would be available in 2010.
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL SEPTEMBER MEETING
Quarryvale quandary
The discussion detoured towards the newly re-painted and slightly
extended double yellow lines opposite Crowley's garage, by the
entrance to Quarryvale. Cllr Linehen Foley, forever warning of the
danger being imposed by vehicles ignoring the lines and impeding the
view of emerging drivers, said they "might as well have painted hop
scotch lines there" for all the difference it would make. Mr. Murray
appeared relatively unmoved, his alleged promise to Cllr Linehan
Foley to landscape the area with flower beds remaining unfulfilled.
Cllr Daly demanded "a more imaginative solution than Mickey
Mouse double yellow lines" to avert a tragedy. He had written to the
guards to no avail.
Cllr Daly then suggested the area's footpath be extended. Cllr Linehan
Foley said a private tenant adjacent to three boards that occupy a foot-
path space would be willing to talk to Mr. Murray, who in turn said he
would follow up on the issue. It was felt the footpath would offer the
best part of a solution that could be easily completed finalised by the
application of hardcore covering and some ditch removal. However,
the Town Clerk reminded that several agencies may need to co-oper-
ate to effect funding for the project, with Cork County Council
responsible for the road and an Estate Enhancement Programme in
operation that revolved around Woodland Grove and Quarryvale. The
current economic climate did not promise much in that direction. One
can only hope the climate doesn't darken further with a serious road
accident in the area.
Babies, bottles and beer
Cllr Daly then continued that the area between the prom and
Claycastle was "a disgrace' -liter-ally so to speak- with cans, beer bot-
tles and nappies in evidence. Not that babies were drinking mind for,
as he asked, "what kind of animals leave this stuff behind them?" He
advocated prosecutions, followed by public "naming and shaming."
Cllr Beecher concurred and nobody demurred.
Cllr Burke sought an update on the proposed new fire station for
Youghal and likewise the proposed new library. He decried the ongo-
ing ponding by Nagle House and once more raised the issue of the
missing concealed entrance sign at Summerdale Lawn. He said there
was "no road surface at all" between St. Coran's well and the entrance
to Summerdale Lawn and beyond, amongst other places. He repeated
the usual list of "jigsaw puzzle pavements", aka Tallow Street, South
Main Street and the junction of South Abbey and Strand Street. The
Town Engineer said new costings for the proposed fire station were
currently being considered.
Cllr Revins thanked the engineer for road repairs to the main streets
and asked for similar in the Knockaverry area. Cllr Linehan Foley
requested likewise for a manhole cover in Kilcoran Road. She then
asked that signs be erected on the bog road to Redbarn warning of
road-crossing swans and ducks. A motorcyclist had nearly collided
with some ducks recently. She dismissed the Town Clerk's scepticism
that such signs existed by referring to their presence a plenty in
Killarney for example. She also condemned dumping at the area's
Birdwatch which she revealed, was now a romantic (if not actually a
mating) site for humans. She sought a solution to the "unbelievable"
overflowing of the toilets at the Front Strand due to vandalism.
Finally, a shore in Kilcoran Road was in poor shape also.
Mayor's Business:
Mayor Sandra McLellan said French town Lamour Plage wished to
send a deputation to Youghal to re-energize twinning arrangements.
They wish to investigate the possibility of establishing summer camps
between teenagers from both towns. She had passed the information
to Youghal's twinning committee.
The Mayor referred to the upcoming Youghal celebrates History con-
ference weekend (Sept 25th-27th) and said it had an outstanding pro-
gramme of events pertaining to 'The Blackwater Valley -Historic
Houses and Landscapes.'
She also remarked on a conference in Killarney called 'Getting a Grip'
which will tackle the issue of reducing drug and alcohol related harm.
Town Clerk Liam Ryan said he would advise anyone interested in
attending on the funding situation.
Mayor McLellan then reminded the council of the impending Team
Youghal entry for the Race Around Ireland on behalf of the Emer
Casey Foundation. (See elsewhere in this edition for details).
Taking in Charge of Dun na Mara, Youghal:
The Town Clerk said there had been no submissions following news-
Page 3
paper notices and the Council would now proceed with the taking
over.
Nomination of Public Representaive To Youghal Community
Alert Committee:
Cllr Coyne, nominated by Cllr Revins was appointed. Cllr Beecher
declined to be nominated given that he is already treasurer of the
group. It will be Cllr Coyne's official remit to report proceedings back
to the Council.
Draft Youghal Town Council 'Taking in Charge' Procedure for
Private Housing estates Policy Document:
The Town Clerk quickly described the various aspects of the taking in
charge procedure contained in the document. Cllr Linehan Foley wel-
comed the initiative, saying it would educate and inform a lot of peo-
ple and dispel many misunderstandings regarding the issue. One such
example was the misconception that the Council was responsible for
council houses on private estates, she cited. She asked how long it
usually takes for a Council to take charge and was told it takes "a
number of years," depending on how long until the developer met all
the criteria necessary to fulfil his obligations. "Usually if there is a
delay, it's down to the developer," Mr Ryan said.
Draft Youghal Town Council Tenant's Handbook 2009:
Mr. Ryan said it was an update of he 2005 handbook and dealt with
all aspects of Council tenancy. Cllr Beecher commended the contents.
Youghal Farmers' Market
The market is seeking to trade at Dolphin's square on Fridays, the
Town Clerk informed the meeting. It emerged that difficulties over
insurance issues had decided the organisers to abandon previous
intentions to trade on a Tesco owned site adjacent to the supermarket.
Mr, Ryan was seeking permission from the members to amend the
Casual trading bye-laws prior to accepting a submission to the
Council for the market. Cllr Murray was uneasy about the loss of car
spaces as was Cllr Revins but the uncertainties were far outweighed
by the positives, probably moreso with the recent failure of the
'Dunnes Stores' planning application on foot of local objections!! "We
are losing shoppers to similar markets in Dungarvan, Lismore and
Midleton," observed Cllr Revins. Cllr Murray said she could see the
lure of greater foot traffic at Dolphin's Square compared to Barry's
Lane and she gradually rowed in with her approval. Mr Ryan added
that if Tesco had a problem in relation to a protected structure then
they could concede it to Youghal Town Council and there would be no
insurance issues!"
Motions in the name of Cllr. Burke seconded by Cllr. Revins:
a): That Youghal Town Council calls on Cork County Council to
freeze the County Demand for 2010 in light of the current national
economic difficulties being experienced by al businesses and local
authorities; and that this motion be circulated to all local authorities in
Cork County".
b): "That Youghal Town Council calls on our local County
Councillors to table a similar motion at Cork County Council".
Cllr Burke said the annual County Charge paid by Youghal to Cork
County Council had risen from to €619,000 in 2006 to €740,000 in
2009. Neither a breakdown of expenditure nor details of how it was
calculated were ever forthcoming, he said. He believed no increase
could be justified for the coming year in the current economic climate.
Cllr Revins said a recent AIMI conference, many town councils
expressed similar concerns. Cllr Murray praised the Motion and said
she would raise it at County Council level. The Motions were passed
unanimously.
Motion in the name of Cllr. Revins seconded by Cllr. Linehan
Foley:
"That Youghal Town Council calls on the Minister of Finance outlin-
ing the importance of the RAPID area status of Youghal, and ask him
not to implement the draconian financial cut backs proposals con-
tained within the McCarthy report. This is in recognition of RAPID's
significant and demonstratable impact on improving service, delivery,
support and resources for new and existing projects, community ini-
tiatives and local infrastructure".
There was unanimous concurrence for Cllr Revins's view that
Youghal had benefited enormously from RAPID programmes. Cllr
Murray recalled that Youghal originally recoiled from RAPID desig-
nation but it had proven to be of enormous benefit. "It's been an ongo-
ing process and it needs to continue," she insisted. The Motion was
passed unanimously.

 YOUGHAL CYCLISTS IN HISTORIC RACE AROUND
IRELAND CHARITY CHALLENGE
By Christy Parker.
Youghal will be represented in one of the year's great sporting
events when eight cyclists participate in the inaugural Race
Around Ireland on Wednesday Sept 15th). Team Youghal is one of
only two entries in the 8-person team category in what is being
deemed "the world's second toughest ultra-endurance race" behind
the annual Race Across America.
The team will cycle on behalf of the Emer Casey Foundation. The
charity, founded in honour of the 27 year-old, who died from ovar-
ian/uterine cancer in 2006, has raised over €400,000 for cancer
research since its inception.
The Race Around Ireland is organised by Meath athletics and
cycling coach Alan Heary, in association with the Meath Local
Sports Partnership and the Ciaran Maree Cancer Research Fund.
Each entry paid €2,000 to compete. With the Youghal cyclists cov-
ering their own expenses, every cent raised goes directly to the
Foundation.
The 2, 170km race commences and ends in Navan, with a largely

coastal route visiting 25 counties, including mountains on both
sides of the Irish border, not to mention Patrick's Hill in Cork.
A total of 75 cyclists will compete, in three categories -solo (15),
4-person teams (11) and 8-person teams (2). Though most com-
petitors are recreational cyclists, they include Fabio Biasiolo,
Italy's world ultra-marathon number 1, Canada's 2007 North
American 24-hour Champion, Caroline van den Bulk and Derry's
Irish endurance record holder Joe Barr.
The Youghal team contains two guest cyclists from Dublin and
includes an electrician, a care worker and a retired school princi-
pal. They are: Ger Flanagan, Tommy Roche, Christy McCarthy,
Eoin Whyte, Kieran Groeger, John McCormack, Stephen
McGovern, Michael Hines. They will be supported by a nine-
strong back up team and will sleep in camper vans supplied by
KIA motors.
The team race starts at 8 pm on Wednesday, 24 hours after the solo
riders depart. Riding 24 hours daily, Team Youghal plans to deploy
Angela, Grainne, Carmel and Anna Hehir
two cyclists on ½ hour stints in hour blocks of four. "Coming
downhill in the dark will be a bigger challenge than cycling
uphill," says team organiser Ger Flanagan. They expect to pass
through Youghal on Saturday evening and hope to compete the
course within four days.
Members of the Casey family joined the race competitors and
invited guests at the team's official launch last weekend. The fam-
ily thanked all involved, along with the public who continue to
enhance the Foundation's aims and achievements.
Most international, national and local media outlets will cover the
event as will local radio station, with Community Radio Youghal
transmitting regular updates on the Youghal team.
Meanwhile Team Youghal are under no illusions of leading the
field across the line. "Our aim is simply compete and complete,
while raising funds for the Foundation," says Ger.

CORMAC O' CALLAGHAN U14
GOLF CHAMPION
13 year old Cormac O'
Callaghan is the son of John &
Catherine, Kilcoran Park,
Youghal. Cormac, who is a
member of Youghal Golf Club,
started playing golf just less
than three years ago, and is
showing real talent for the
game. Playing off a handicap of
20, Cormac was one of a team
of eight picked by the Golfing
Union of Ireland to play on the
Cork South East Team in an U-
14 Inter County Challenge
Match between all the counties
in Munster. The competition was held on Saturday last, September
5th, in the prestigious Fota Island Golf Club and Cormac con-
tributed two birdies in his excellent eighteen hole singles round
score of 37 points. The team were succesful, beating challenges
from Wateford, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary and Clare and were
presented with a personal trophy each for their great win.
Congratulations are extended to Cormac by his Mum and Dad,
Catherine & John who are very proud of his achievement, and
from his brother Aaron and sister Ali. The O' Callaghan and
Swayne families are very well known in the town of Youghal and
they are delighted with Cormac's success. Particularly his two
grandmothers, Nana Aggie (Swayne) and nana Mary (O'
Callaghan), his godmother Geraldine O' Connell, his aunts Agnes
Hennessy and Clare Geaney and his Uncle Robert Swayne.
Cormac said he now wants to get even better at the game and
hopes to come down to a single figure handicap because, he said,
"golfers are very rich and all they have to do every day is play
golf". Sensible as well as talented is young Cormac O' Callaghan.
Holly-Rose Twomey Strikes Four
Times But U-12s Fall at First Hurdle
The girl’s soccer season is underway and the new Youghal Utd U-
12s were hosts to Passage at a sun-drenched Ardrath Park last
Saturday. A large number of the team were playing for the first time.
Passage took the lead after 12 minutes but Youghal responded with
a terrific run and strike by Holly-Rose Twomey only to see her
effort hit the post and her follow up shot saved by the keeper. The
Youghal captain wasn’t to be denied however on what was to turn
out to be an exceptional performance by the number 9. She soon
equalled the score with another fine run and neat finish to the cor-
ner. With the new players still finding their feet, Passage struck to
lead 2-1. Holly-Rose Twomey, supported by the extremely hard
working and skillful Amy Ben-Aim and Lynda Galvin, again picked
up the ball and ran at the passage defence, turning the centre-half
before slotting home. At 2-2 Youghal were in the ascendancy and in
control of the game. Unfortunately, Passage scored before the break
to make it 3-2. The visitors began the second half strongly but great
defending by new signings Catriona Savage and Jennifer Geary
showed the team has a lot of promise. With Sarah Roche bossing
midfield and tireless running from Aoife O’ Sullivan Youghal
looked likely to score. Holly-Rose Twomey secured her hat-trick
with another run and cool finish to make it 3-3. It looked like
Youghal could go on to claim the three points but Passage never
wilted and again took the lead – 4-3. It was time for the Youghal
captain to again show the way and after coming back on to the pitch
after a minor injury, she picked up the ball and ran into the area to
drive a low shot under the diving keeper. At 4-4 Youghal looked the
stronger side. However, the game changed when Youghal lost their
experienced keeper, Jo Healy to injury. Passage pressed on and
scored two more goals to claim victory at 6-4. This was a tough test
for the new Youghal team but they have plenty to be proud about
after the opening day fixtures. Player of the match – Holly-Rose
Twomey, a five star performance from the captain.

Green Light for our playground
Finally, work is about to begin following unforseen and extended
delays, we are happy to report that work will commence in the
next few days to build our playground! The playground will be
located in Clashmore Village on the green, along side the river –
thanks to local residents and voluntary groups for helping us to
procure the site.
We will be working with Go Play, whom the committee and
Waterford County Council selected to supply the equipment will
cater for children up to 12 years of age. Ground works will com-
mence in the next few days and it is expected that the project will
be completed by the end of October.
As soon as we have dates finalised for the opening of the play-
ground we will publish details. While the council will be respon-
sible for insurance and maintenance of the facility once opened
we would ask you to respect the area and remember it was our
money that helped get it built!
If you would like to discuss the project with any member of the
committee in the interim, please feel free to contact us.

In Loving memory of Christina O Connor
Christian O Connor (nee Guiry), of
Ardsallagh and Newcastle West died
recently after a short illness in her 88th
Year. Christina was second youngest of
ten children born to Michael and
Hannah Guiry. Her youth was spent
with her brothers and sisters on her
father’s farm in Ardsallagh and
D’Loughtane and she had such vivid
memories of the backbreaking work
they endured that once she left home,
she never wanted to see a ploughed field again.
She left Ardsallagh in the forties joining her sister Rita and broth-
er in law Pat Keogh in London where she worked for many years
in a manufacturing facility for close to two years. She returned
home and within a short time she was on her way to Newcastle
West to help her sister Jo who had a young family. Jo’s grandson
Eoin Reddan would later don the Irish rugby jersey. While in
Newcastle West, she met and married William O Connor a grocer
as the fifties drew to a close. They had five children and their busi-
ness thrived. Her husband predeceased her in 1978 and she went
on to run the business successfully up to the end of the eighties
when she handed over to her son Niall.
From the time she left West Waterford, she never forgot her roots
naming her house Ardsallagh and spending many summer holi-
days in Youghal, along with the annual trip to participate in the
procession. A visit to Youghal was not complete without a trip to
the old homestead.
Typical of many Irish families three of her brothers John, Neil and
Michael and four sisters Mary – Ellen, Jo, Nora and Bree had
immigrated to the United States in the thirties and forties. On
arrival the joined their Uncles Tom and Jack Guiry from Coolbagh
in Boston. John would serve in the Philippines during the Second
World War while Michael would serve in Japan at the time of the
Jorean War. Christina’s nephews, Johnny and Robert would later
serve in Vietnam.
Her family was all important to her she had fourteen grandchil-
dren who all spent their formative years in her care. Her other
great interest were gardening animals and Waterford Hurling. She
is survived by her sons Gerard, Liam, Patrick Niall and Robert,
her brother Michael in Florida her dear sister Bree in Youghal.
Also her nieces Joan Cashman (Youghal) Ann Del Punta (Grange)
Georgina Keogh (Kinsalebeg) nephews Michael Fenton
(Blessington) and Brendan Keogh (Ardglass) to these and all her
family and friends we extend our deepest sympathy
Birthday greetings Patrick

Coolbagh who celebrated his 50th during the week – birthday

It is estimated that as many as 750 children fail to transfer every
year from Primary to Post-Primary school . The number of stu-
dents who leave education with no qualifications is 3.2% while
another 15.3% leave with only a Junior Cert qualification .
Early school leavers are at particular risk in the labour market. Of
those who enter the labour market after school, the unemployment
rate is 47.5% for those with no qualifications, compared with 9.6%
for those with a Leaving Certificate. Research also shows that both
the levels of education and the grades achieved have a marked
influence on gaining employment and, in general, that higher qual-
ifications and grades
· Increase the chances of gaining employment
· Reduce the length of time spent seeking work.
· Reduce the risk of unemployment and
· Promote higher earnings levels.
The key features of successful interventions with early school
leavers:-
In the experience of YOUTHREACH, the key features of success-
ful interventions with early school leavers are as follows:
· A focus on the holistic development of the individual;
· a learning environment which is safe, structured and challenging;
programmes must focus on independence and integration;
· a process which is both participant-centred and participant-led;
there should be open and honest feedback between trainer and par-
ticipants;
· a team approach - programmes are most effective if organised on
the basis of a curricular matrix in which each teacher or trainer is
implementing a range of cross-disciplinary curricular objectives
(such as communications skills development, health and safety
awareness, etc);
· staff who facilitate and animate and are themselves open to learn-
ing. Ideally, teams should be multi-disciplinary. The maintenance
and in-career development of staff involved is a priority;
· a methodology/pedagogy which begins with the young person;
· a general emphasis on achievement rather than failure;
· appropriate assessment and certification;
· flexibility (at all levels - management, relationships, curriculum);
· programme duration based on need rather than time.
Youthreach objectives
The programme is intended to facilitate young people in returning
to learning and preparing for employment and adult life. Its gener-
al objectives are as follows:
· Personal and social development and increased self-esteem;
· second-chance education and introductory level training;
· the promotion of independence, personal autonomy, active citi-
zenship and a pattern of lifelong learning;
· integration into further education and training opportunities and
the labour market;
· the promotion of social inclusion.
What do we do in Youthreach?
Youthreach offers a flexible and dynamic programme of integrat-
ed general education, vocational training and work experience.
Learners set personal and educational goals that increase their self-
esteem, skill and knowledge base and employability. Essential
course elements include Personal and Social Development,
Vocational Skills and Communications Skills.
The Youthreach process involves
- personal development and exploration;
- identification of needs, interests and capacities;
- setting learning goals
- sampling general vocational skills;
- development of specific aptitudes;
- work experience;
- literacy and numeracy development.
The Foundation Phases programme is constructed as a curricular
matrix incorporating these elements. This approach is also found
in the certification offered by FETAC (www.fetac.ie).
Both personal skills and vocational skills are developed. These are

WHY TAKE AN EVENING CLASS?
Our freetime is a precious resource that is shrinking with each
passing generation. It is not to be given up lightly. Taking part in
an evening class usually requires a little sacrifice to be made with
regard to time spent with the family, working, socialising or just
relaxing. The benefits are myriad; here are just a few reasons to
take the plunge:
First and foremost, the evening course should benefit the student;
it should not be taken at the behest of anyone else. You will need
commitment and drive to complete your course, and if you are not
interested in the subject matter, it will prove difficult to complete.
You will reap the greatest rewards out of a course you enroll in for
personal reward.
The Student Within: Personal Development
With all the commitments that come with modern life – work,
family, social-life - it is easy to start feeling a little rusty around
the edges. Enrolling in a nightcourse is one of the most effective
ways to shake off the dust that accumulates with simply going
from day-to-day, coping with whatever life throws at you. By
engaging in a stimulating challenge of your own choosing, you
may discover fresh mental and physical resources you never knew
existed within you.
Many of those who take an evening class are returning to complete
a formal education that circumstances would not allow them to
finish the first time round. Adults, who partake in literacy and
numeracy classes or take a GCSE/A-Level course, give them-
selves a fresh footing in a society where information and the abil-
ity to communicate are all.
Learning a new skill often provides the student with the sense of
confidence and self-reliance that comes with overcoming a chal-
lenge. The subject matter need not be of everyday practical use
such as a computer course. Even learning the mysterious arts of

of belly-dancing will invigorate the student with a sense of achievement.
If a completely foreign skill can be mastered; then you know that you
are well-prepared for the challenges life may throw at you.
Have you ever pondered what untapped potential may lie within you?
Perhaps you are a live at home mother, juggling the plethora of tasks
that make up the job of running a household. The ability to multi-task is
central to the business-world, and a nightcourse is just the way to find
out if you have got what it takes. There are many courses provided for
those seeking to harness their creativity. It is very difficult to sit down
at home, with all its distractions, and bash out a short-story or painting.
Adult education provides the structured surrounding where your cre-
ative talents can be teased out and developed.
Healthy Benefits: Activating the Brain A recent report in the New York
Times investigated the various factors – wealth, health insurance, etc. –
that influence the average person’s lifespan. “If you were to ask me what
affects health and longevity”, said City University of New York
researcher Michael Grossman, “I would put education at the top of my
list.” Besides the physical benefits of activity-based courses, from yoga
to kick-boxing, the positive effect of adult education on a student’s men-
tal health and lifestyle can be immense. One study found that one addi-
tional year of education for Swedish men born between 1945-55,
increased their chances of being a healthy weight from 60 to 72 per cent.
The socialisation and companionship involved in adult education can
play a strong role in lessening the occurrence of stress, loneliness and
depression. Many in the scientific community believe that the brain
needs to be ‘exercised’ just as much as the body. Actively engaging in a
night class can help sustain your powers of memory and concentration,
and possibly even stave off forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s. As
one American researcher, Dr Gary Small of UCLA, put it, “It’s the use-
it-or-lose-it theory. If you keep your brain cells active it improves their
efficiency”. So there you have it, take a nightcourse and enjoy eternal
life! Or perhaps, a tad more realistically, take a nightcourse and enrich
your life

CYCLING CLUB
The Rebel Tour - Sunday 13th September.
A large group of cyclists from Youghal C.C. headed to Mallow,
Co. Cork last Sunday for the final series of The An Post National
Cycle Series. The 130km route took in the scenery of the
Boggerah Mountains passing along historic trails such as the old
Butter Road and Aghinagh Way with a very challenging climb up
Mushera Mountain on the way to Nadd village.
The route started at Mallow GAA Sports Complex, continued out
the N72 Mallow to Killarney road, turning left for Millstreet, and
left again entering the outskirts of the town (Rylane Road) com-
mencing the climb towards Mushera. This is part of the Butter
Road which dates back before the 18th century when it was the
main trade route between Kerry and Cork. After coming down
from Mushera the route turned right along the Aghinagh Way, and
continued to Ballinagree and Macroom. The cyclists then contin-
ued on through Carrigadrohid and Coachford, then on towards
Crean's Cross Roads where they took a left onto R579 heading for
Nadd. Beyond Nadd village the route joined up with the 60km
route by turning right over Lacka bridge after Nadd, passing
Gortroe, into Glantane and back to the Mallow GAA Sports
Complex.
Completing the event for Youghal C.C. were the Schleck Brothers
( Brian Sanders & John Flynn ), Jonathan Tobin, Michael ( Jelly
Baby ) O' Mahoney, James O' Mahoney, Johnny Bulman, Wayne
Fitzgerald, Ina Walsh and Joe Dee. The start was delayed by half
an hour due to fog but once they were on the way the sun broke
through to put all those who took part in good form and a very
enjoyable spin was had by all.
The Weekly Spin - Sunday 13th September. With the power
houses of Youghal C.C. away in Mallow for the day and more club
members heading to Clonmel to watch the World Military Cycling
Championships, the remaining members of the Sunday morning
group gathered as always by the Clock Gate, outside Moby Dick's
pub, for the weekly spin. With good weather again on show, a tidy
peloton of five turned out for a lesurily 50km spin around East
Cork. The Group left Youghal at 9.00am sharp and headed out of
Youghal towards the bog road which took them on to
Ballymacoda and Ladysbridge. From there they took the back
road to Ballinacurra and came out onto the main road at the 2 Mile
Inn. From there they cruised home on the good main road through
Castlemartyr and Killeagh before arriving back in Youghal for
11.15am. Enjoying the good weather on the bike were John Healy,
Elliot Murphy, Anthony Kenneally, Cillian Kenneally and Ger
Flanagan.Well done to newcomers Elliot Murphy on his second
successful spin and 14 year old Cillian Kenneally for completing
his first big spin with the group.
Etape De Tour - July 2009. The Etape de Tour offers interested
amateurs an opportunity to experience the "real thing" - they can
do one stage of the Tour De France under more or less the same
conditions as the real Tour. Over Nine thousand people try it every
year with on average only half that number completing the event.
They are warned about time constraints - an average of 25 km. per
hour is not just expected - it is required - and ignominious defeat
and a seat in the broom wagon awaits those who fail, just like in
the real Tour!.
This year the "Etape " took in Mont Ventoux - one of the big myth-
ical mountains which has seen moments of sheer magic and hours
of deepest tragedy. It was there that Lance Armstrong and Marco
Pantani danced their way to the summit and who knows really
whether Lance let Marco win the stage? It was there that Tom
Simpson died - one of the great British hopes for the Tour. And it
was the mountain that formed the core of this year's Etape.
Ventoux gets its name from the French word for wind - vent -
because as you struggle around the hairpin bends every now and
then you get a little comforting wind - before you hit the bleak
desert of the higher parts, where vegetation cannot survive and
where you are hoping your legs will!. The hot searing sun and the
dead blast of heat which surrounds you in that bleak Godot like
landscape makes that little wind so welcome.
Jonathan Flynn from Youghal C.C. took up the gauntlet of this
year's Etape and trained like a mad professional all year, through
our ever reliable windy and wet weather, to be in perfect form for
the challenge that lay ahead of him. Sure enough he packed his
bike and bag and headed off to France where he duly did complete
this physically and mentally tough challenge well within the time
limits - so as the French say "Hats off!" ( Chapeau!).
Race Around Ireland.
On the 15th to the 20th of September 2009 an ultra marathon cycle
challenge will take place in Ireland which will test the endurance,
strength and mental toughness of any athlete. Whether the partic-
ipants are an elite or leisure cyclist, they will all be attempting to
finish the toughest, and most gruelling cycling event ever to be
held in Ireland. The Race Around Ireland is a time trial consisting
of 1350 miles of open roads, over some of Ireland's largest moun-
tains taking in magnificent scenery and passing some of Ireland's
most famous landmarks. The challenge runs for 24 hours a day
and must be completed within a maximum of five days. The race
will pass through Youghal around 6.00pm on Satherday the 19th
of September.
Competing in the event this year for the first time are a team from
Youghal. The riders competing for Team Youghal are Ger
Flanagan, Tommy Roche, Christy McCarthy, Eoin Whyte, Kieran
Groeger, John McCormack, Stephen McGovern and Michael
Hines. The riders will be ably supported by their support crew
made up of Claude McCarthy, Joe Davis, Tom Fitzgerlad, Robert
Heffernan, Michael McCarthy, Jimmy Healy, Peter Morgan, Jamie
Field, Brian Fitzgerlad and Peter Coady. Team Youghal are doing
the race for the charity "The Emer Casey Foundation".
Youghal C.C. would like to wish the best of luck to all those tak-
ing part in the event and encourage all to come out and support the
participants when passing through Youghal.
Get Well Wishes.
Get well wishes are to be conveyed to local club man Tony Walsh
who was recently injured while taking part in the Sean Kelly Tour
Of Waterford. Rumor has it that he had a bit of trouble with a right
of way and some ones front wheel. Get well soon Tony from all at
the club. We hope to see you again soon spinning that triple chain-
set up Strikes Hill.
Club Sponsors.
We would also like to thank our sponsors ( as listed below ) for
this years support. As you all know, no club can survive without
sponsorship and we will look forward to next season where we
will again be promoting our sponsors names on our club kit. A
very special thanks to Kenneally Rochford & Associates Ltd., O'
Neills Oil, Coal & Gas, Munster Tool Co., Youghal In Car, John
Treacy Acorn Life, Breda Ryan Long Life Coach & Cree's Card
Shop.
Weekend Spins. As you are all well aware by now, there is a
weekly spin every Sunday morning at 9.00am sharp leaving from
Moby Dicks Pub. With all the yearly objectives now completed,
its time to wind down the miles and pace so that we can get organ-
ized and plan for next years objectives.
This spin which runs on various routes every week usually takes
between 2 to 3 hours and covers on average about 55km ( 35 miles
). Sounds like a lot but it doesn't feel like it when you a riding
along and chatting within a group. The pace is comfortable and we
usually stop half way around for a coffee or tea.
This is the perfect time for someone new to start with the group.
With a steady pace and friendly people you are assured of an
enjoyable spin. Someone is always alert to tiredness and there is
always a helping hand if there is a problem. You learn a lot from
others while out training in a group - about which gears to use,
your position on the bike, when to put on or shed the winter
woolies, or how to change a puncture. And don't be afraid to ask
that question, no matter how silly it may sound. If you don't ask
you will never find the answer. New members or visitors to the
area are always welcome.
If you have any questions about the club or attending one of our
weekend spins, please contact our Club Secretary Jonathan at 086-
8563292 for details. See you all Sunday Morning !!.
Until next week, safe cycling !!.

been carried out to include refurbishment of gents toilets, purchase
of container to store furniture and equipment, purchase of comfort-
able seating, specialist stage lighting, refurbishment of mineral bar
and corridor area and replacement of timber floor is ground floor
meeting room. Other works very recently carried out
are external decoration and the installation of PVC windows. In
addition to capital expenditure the other major expenditure include
the everyday running costs such as ESB, Gas Insurances and ongo-
ing maintenance which all add up to an alarming sum at year end.
In conclusion of this article it is appropriate that the Committee
would take this opportunity to extend thanks for the support of all
Sponsors and Patrons for the past years and look forward to the
support of all concerned for this year’s Festival Events, and as the
song goes 'together we will make it work'.

win and had a load of wides in the second half but the weather did-

frees also at the start of the second half but they just couldn't man-
age to put them over with the strong wind and rain.

that the two players are father and son Brendan and Christopher
Cooney.
This is the first time a father and son have played on the Irish
squad in the home internationals and as Brendan and Christopher
took to the green baize in the 'Pontins Sands World Snooker

10th Anniversary
Treasured memories of our two beautiful daugh-
ters Stephanie and Karena,
10 Atlantic Park Youghal
who left our home on 25th September 1999.
If we could visit heaven, on this our saddest day,
Maybe for a moment our pain would go away.
We would put our arms around Stephanie and Karena
And say these words so true. Our lives have never been the same
since the day that we lost ye. No words can say how we feel today
Or feel in our hearts since ye went away. The tears flow when we speak
ye're names, but the pain in our hearts remains the same.
Two special smiles, two special faces,
Two special daughters no one can replace.
Look after them Lord while they take their rest,
For here on Earth they were "Simply the Best"
Love and Miss ye always
Heartbroken Mam & Dad xxxx
THANKSGIVING
MIRACLE PRAYER
Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for
many favours, this time I ask for a special one,
(mention here). Take it Dear Heart of Jesus and
place it within your own Broken Heart, where
your father sees it. Then, in his merciful eyes it will
become your favour, not mine Amen.
Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and
prayer and favour will be granted no matter how
impossible. Never know to fail. K.H.
In Loving Memory
Michael (Lynott) Yellop
Whose 6th Anniversary occurs on Sept. 22nd
God looked around his garden and found an empty place
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your tired face
He put his arm around you and lifted you to rest
Gods garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
Always remembered and sadly missed.

Treasured memories of our two beautiful sisters
Stephanie & Karena,
10 Altantic Park, Youghal,
who left our home on 25th September 1999.
Though ye're smile is gone forever
And ye're hands we cannot touch
We will never lose sweet memories
Of Stephanie and Karena we loved so much
No Birthday cards to send
No gifts to show we care
The way ye had to leave us
Will always seem unfair
Two hearts of gold stop beating
Four smiling eyes at rest
God broke our hearts
To prove to us, he only takes the best
To us ye were, "Simply the Best"
We miss ye so so much.

A PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN
(Never known to fail)
O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splen-
dour of Heaven, blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate
Virgin assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea help me and
show me herein you are my mother. O Holy Mary Mother of God,
queen of heaven and earth.
I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succour me
in this necessity; there are none that can withstand your power. O
show me herein you are my mother. O Mary conceived without
sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). Holy Mother
I place this cause into your hands (3 times). Holy Spirit you who
solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal, you
who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against
me and that in all instances of my life you are with me. I want in
this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once
again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory.
Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine.
The person must say this prayer on three consecutive days. After
three days the request will be granted. This prayer must be pub-
lished after the favour is granted. K.H.

 TALLOW CREDIT UNION Gort Aoibhinn Community
'CHEQUES INTO' KNOCK- Fun Day
ANORE HALL.
By Christy Parker
Knockanore's success in building a top quality indoor sports hall
continues apace with a donation from Tallow Credit Union mark-
ing its initiative. Credit union representatives travelled to
Knockanore last weekend to hand over a €2,000 cheque to mem-
bers of the KGK (Knockanore-Glandine-Kilwatermoy) Sports
Committee.
Costing €600,000, the hall, adjacent to Knockanore national
Artist Andrea Cashell with Aoife Healy Tracie McCarthy and Sasha Barron
school, evolved from an aspiration five years ago. Assisted by
funding from the National Lottery and Clar, the plan reached
fruition when builders Aqualine Ltd., Cappoquin completed con-
struction in Sept 2008, although it was officially opened by MEP
Brian Crowley last May. "Phase 1 involved construction, was
landscaping, paining and kitting it out to a certain degree," says
KGK Community Sport chairman Mike O'Neill.
School students, local sports bodies and women's groups have
been using the facility for a variety of purposes, including indoor
hurling, soccer and general training as well as ladies' PE classes. The Big Gort Aoibhinn Kids Ken
Now, Phase 2, with further funding from Waterford Leader Face painter Nessa Cashell with Fionn Dempsey, Barry Goggin and Finbarr
Partnership, promises to extend its remit considerably. "We intend Coleman and Karen Kenefick O'Mahony show off their medals in the
race that ended in a dead heat
to acquire a stage, seating, lighting bar, etc. to make it amenable
for drama and the arts," say Michael. "We'd also hope though that
other sports groups, such as volleyball and basketball organisa-
tions from within and outside the parish avail of it," he adds of
what he described as "a hall that's paid for."
Tallow Credit Union.
At the recent ceremony, Michel acknowledged Tallow Credit
Union's "unwavering commitment and assistance to the communi-
ties in its common bond area and thanked them for this most recent
donation.For her part, Tallow Credit Union's spokeswoman
Angela Leahy said it was "an honour and a pleasure to return the
compliment to the Knockanore community, who have always sup-
ported us." She added that her organisation was committed to a
three-year sponsorship programme and, having "contributed over
€250,00 to local groups over the past three years, we want to reas-
sure communities that we are here for them." In a brief summary,
Ann Marie Riordan, Gillian Corcoran, Geraldine Harty and Tracie MaCarthy with
Angela outlined further enhancements in a credit union that is the Gort Aoibhinn Community kids
"going from strength to strength." She spoke of extended opening
hours to include lunch times and the recently launched Credit
Union ATM Card. Which "is proving particularly popular with
younger people and students." A new scholarship scheme is immi-
nent for 2010/11, which should alleviate problems associated with
the Third Level fees atrocities! It need hardly be mentioned that
Tallow Credit Union, in its 31st year, 300 members, €9,523 in
shares and assets of over €19m, continues to provide a wide range
of financial services for a particularly rural community. These
include lending schemes based on car, baby and farmer require-
ments -not that all three don't occur simultaneously either.

 AURA HOSTS FREE
'HEALTH AND FITNESS NIGHT'
Anyone looking for some motivation to get their autumn fitness pro-
gramme up and running have been handed the perfect opportunity,
thanks to Aura Youghal Leisure Centre which is hosting a free
'Health and Fitness Night' on Monday, 28th September
Aura's fully qualified gym instructors will be available to meet all
visitors to the centre, with free half hour fitness classes taking place
from 6.30 p.m. to 8. 30 p.m. for those who want to start getting into
shape. The classes on offer include everything from 'Boxercise,
'Indoor Cycling' Step Aerobics' and 'Total Tone' workouts so there is
something to suit everyone. "Aura offers everyone, no matter their
age or fitness level, the opportunity to improve their health and fit-
ness and to have fun. Anyone is welcome to try out the free classes,
to get advice from our instructors or to make an appointment for a
free fitness assessment," said Tracy Kenneally, Operations Manager
at Aura Youghal Leisure Centre.
The Open Evening will also give visitors the opportunity to inspect
all of the facilities at the centre, which include a 25 metre pool, kid-
dies and leaner pools, state of the art gym, group fitness studio and
health suite. "Aura's fully qualified fitness instructors will be on
hand to provide body fat testing and advise people on any nutrition-
al or dietary questions they may have. It promises to be a great night
where people can learn loads in a fun environment and more impor-
tantly see how we can help them with their personal health and fit-
ness goals," added Tracy. Aura Youghal is now offering people the
opportunity to exercise for free. The current special membership
offer means that if you sign up for a twelve month membership dur-
ing the month of September you only have to pay for eleven months.
"People are naturally more price conscious during a recession and we
are committed to ensuring that anyone who wants to keep up their
exercise routine can continue do so at a price they can afford,"
explained Tracy.
Further information about the Health and Fitness Night, special
membership offers or any of the classes and fitness programmes tak-
ing place at Aura Youghal Leisure Centre is available by contacting
reception at 024 91614.

Early morning workouts in store for

Youghal fitness enthusiasts at Aura
Aura Youghal Leisure Centre is taking steps to cater for the increased
demand in their facilities by extending their gym opening hours from
the first of September onwards. The initiative is designed to facilitate
the growing number of people who want to exercise before they go
to work in the morning. "After talking to members and customers we
made the decision to extend our opening hours. People really want
the opportunity to be able to get their daily workout done before they
go to work, so we decided the best way to facilitate this is to open
earlier in the mornings" explained Tracy Kenneally, Operations
Manager at Aura Youghal Leisure Centre. "Office workers who have
been using the gym on a regular basis are telling us that they find a
gym session first thing in the morning is the best way to kick start
their day," says
Tracy. "The response to this initiative has been really positive and it
gives more people the opportunity to come down and avail of our
excellent facilities at an hour that suits them. We understand the pres-
sures and time constraints of modern day living and that is why we
are making it as easy as possible for people to fit exercise into their
overall lifestyle and daily routine," added Tracy. "We want people of
all ages to enjoy our facilities which include a 25 metre pool, fun and
learner pools, fully equipped gym, sauna and steam room.
Everybody should be able to fit exercise into their weekly schedule,"
explained Tracy. The Aura Youghal gym will now be open from 7
a.m. to 10 p.m. every Monday to Friday from Tuesday, September 1st
onwards.
Aura Youghal is now offering people the opportunity to exercise for
free. The current special membership offer means that if you sign up
for a twelve month membership during the month of September you
only have to pay for eleven months. Further information about the
extended opening hours or any of the special membership offers is
available by contacting reception at 024 91614.

In loving memory of our dear mother
Maureen whose 9th anniversary occurs at
this time. Masses offered.
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one
I'd like to leave an afterflow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo, whispering softly down the ways
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories that I leave when life is done
Will those who think of Maureen today, a little prayer
to Jesus say.
Always remembered by Therese, Sean and family.
