forms, which are also part of the new historic walking trail.
Mayor Flynn also praised the work of the Tidy Town and she
stressed the importance of community spirit.
The latest Lonely Planet guide for Ireland has counted Ardmore
as one of "Ireland's Top 25 Experiences" . Ardmore is described
as "a quiet seaside village" whose "beauty remains largely undis-
covered". Well now it will be easier for people to discover all that
Ardmore has to offer with the new signage.
The funding for the signs came from Failte Ireland and Waterford
County Council and the project was coordinated by Rose Ryall,
Conservation Officer of Waterford County Council. There are a
series of orientation panels and finger posts highlighting points of
interest along two routes. The Green route will take you along the
Cliff Walk and takes about 75 mins (not including stops!). The
shorter route links the Cathedral to St Declan’s Well

ments where practical. Rates income is now to be reviewed on a
weekly basis and action taken in individual cases where deemed
necessary.
11. Diving Rocks Closure: The Town Manager took the decision
to close the Diving Rocks on Friday 28th May last, having consid-
ered at length a report by both Irish Water Safety and the Safety
Department of Cork County Council. That report identified sub-
stantive risks in the area which could result in either serious
injuries or loss of life relating mainly around:
a) "The diving board area is 3 metres above the rocks at
low tide which Irish Water Safety feel is not sufficient
amount of depth for the diver to make safe entry. The
board is almost at water level at high tide".
b) "Irish Water Safety consider the diving area to be very
unsafe and access to the area should be closed off from
the public".
c) "The catwalk areas are potentially entrapment areas for
swimmers as tides rise, or in case of extreme wave
surges".
Once notified of the Report and its recommendations, the Council
could be potentially exposed to legal action should an accident
occur and the Council had not acted on the recommendations of
the Report. The report can now be considered at length by both the
Executive and Members of the Council with a view to the long
term plans for the area.
Matter arising from the town clerk's report:
On foot of the council's stated intention to pursue rate defaulters,
Cllr Barbara Murray asked that legal action be deemed last resort.
Mr Ryan said there are many alternatives available, pending nego-
tiation with the council. However, failure to "step up to the mark"
and meet/confer with the council would herald no other option but
legal proceedings. Town manager Patricia Power added there
would henceforth be a weekly review of ratepayers because no
money coming in meant "very serious cuts to services."
It was decided to await the September meeting to consider the
Draft Traffic Management and Parking Plan. JuIy was an alterna-
tive but September allows more time for the traffic engineer and
the gardai to consider the details There are no council meetings in
August..
Congratulations:
Cllr Mary Linehan Foley congratulated Youghal United on setting
a new world record (pending ratification by the Guinness Book of
Records) of 33½ hours for a continuous five-a-side football match.
"It was a brilliant weekend and those fit men were pleasing to the
eye," she commented. The councillor also congratulated "every-
body that was involved in the Procession." Cllr Sammy Revins
said the FCA's absence from that occasion was due to a lack of
numbers.
Cllr Michael Beecher also congratulated Youghal United and sim-
ilarly Aaron Tobin who won two All-Ireland snooker titles in
under-14 and under-15 grades in Carlow. He also acknowledged
the "fantastic" show performed by the Youghal Musical Society.
Cllr Eoin Coyne paid tribute to the Casey family on the success of
the Emer Casey 10k. "There was great community involvement,"
he observed.
Town Foreman's Report:
Cllr Michelle Hennessy said the road was crumbling at the Raheen
Road turn-off for Raheen Park, that the Raheen Road car park
"needs to be sprayed," the grass at the top of Blackwater Heights
requires cutting, the yellow box at the bottom of Cork Hill wants
paint and a log needs removing from the Mall -where grass and
weeds are also rampant. With a heavy sigh, she described the Jail
Steps as "shocking" with weeds, overgrown hedges, a missing
door, an open shore and illegal dumping prevailing. Similar desti-
tution persisted at the upper end of the steps.
Cllr Murray reiterated the Jail Steps woes and also agreed that the
Mall needed tidying. The councillor inquired as to a machine she
Page 2
had seen creating mounds of gravel at the promenade end of
Claycastle. Town engineer Paul Murray promised to investigate.
Cllr Beecher echoed the Jail Steps concerns. He was also con-
cerned that "a tunnel" had been dug to gain access to the Mill Road
playground and wanted a camera installed. The Lighthouse Hill,
Church Street and Priory Court needed cleaning, he concluded.
Staff, not grass, cuts.
The town clerk interceded that, regarding grass cutting, cleaning
etc, council staff cuts rendered it impossible to maintain the level
of previous service. He said two full-time workers were unable to
cope with the problem. Council staff levels were now lower than
in 1984, while the town 's size had increased by 40%. The recruit-
ment embargo on part-time workers meant the issue would recur
continuously and it was "strangling local authorities." He suggest-
ed councillors inform their political parties. It was agreed to com-
plain also, in writing, to the Minister for the Environment via a
motion at July's meeting.
Cllr Sammy Revins warned that the Lighthouse Hill railings were
"seriously corroded" and feared that, given the current health 'n'
safety culture, "we'll be closed off from the Walter Raleigh!" He
also asked when the Millennium Garden's main entrance would be
open, as elderly people were afraid to access the garden through
the playground. Mr. Ryan said it was currently closed due to two
CCTV poles being erected, while town foremen Ger Lupton said
the gates would be re-open in the coming days but may close inter-
mittently.
Flower pots
Cllr Linehan Foley said residents in Quain's Terrace would volun-
tarily maintain an overgrown bank area if it was cut and seeds
planted. She asked whether three flowerpots for Dr. Kennedy's
Place that had been ordered and was told they were imminent. The
area has been the subject of dangerous kerb driving and she said
the pots would help prevent "something bad happening."
Cllr Coyne complained that a large mound of rock was in danger
of collapsing from a vandalised wall near Quain's Terrace. Mayor
Sandra McLellan indicated that rubbish was being dumped near
new council houses behind Seafield and residents were concerned.
She also asked if two blackout blinds and a rain sensor for air
vents could be installed in the Mall Arts Centre. It was also joyful-
ly noted that the centre made a €4,000 profit over the past year.
Cork County Council Items:
Cllr Linehan Foley said the "brutal" smell had returned at Foxhole
and was even discernible by the Strand. She said the "stench"
would compromise tourism. She also complained that the €3
entrance fee to the landfill unfairly discriminates against those
with minimal rubbish or indeed minimal money and was not
encouraging recycling. The councillor asked if a sanctioned, dis-
abled space at Raheen Park was to be installed and also whether
the ones for Cork Hill. She wondered also if the Lighthouse Hill
viewing stands could be rendered safe and re-opened for the sum-
mer.
Bags by bins banned
Cllr Hennessy complained that residents had been issued with lit-
ter fines after private refuse company Country Clean had wrongly
informed them that it was ok to leave transparent waste bags
beside their bins. The town clerk said the company had informed
him that they were ceasing the provision of such bags. He said all
waste, including recyclables, "must be presented in a bin for col-
lection."
Cllr Murray asked if such issued fines could be annulled. Mr. Ryan
replied that Cork County Council operated waste management
byelaws. Photographic evidence inevitably coincided with fines
and the level of the evidence would determine the outcome of
appeals. Cllr Hennessy suggested Country Clean should be fined,
while Cllr Murray asked what was the best course for someone
with a rubbish surplus after a big clean-out had filled their bins.
The town manager advised they would best "stand in the hallway"
with the bags prior to collection.
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL JUNE MEETING
with a rubbish surplus after a big clean-out had filled their bins.
The town manager advised they would best "stand in the hallway"
with the bags prior to collection.
Relevant to litter, Mr. Ryan said 20 fines were about to be issued
to individuals caught illegally littering by the council's mobile
CCTV. He anticipated "no representations" being made on their
behalf either!
Meanwhile Cllr Revins recommended Cork County Council aban-
don their pay-by-weight system and return to the old flat rate
method, to counteract illegal dumping. He also accused the coun-
ty council of failing to compete adequately with private contrac-
tors. The town manager was unimpressed on either score and
responded that Cork County council had to operate waiver
schemes as well as provide a budget for street cleaning. "It is not
on a level playing field with private operators," she summarised.
Cllr Murray said the county council offer options for either system
and alleged that private operators were "laughing at" the county
council. "The town council did a better job when we had the
responsibility for waste and I'm proud of that," concluded Cllr
Revins.
Fumes for thought, bins and dogs
Cllr Coyne asked for a completion date for the footpath at the bot-
tom of the Spa hill and a starting date for road surfacing on Golf
Links Road. He was told the former was detailed in the Manager's
Orders and the latter would commenced next day in the school
vicinity, with funding assessment thereafter. The councillor
repeated concerns over the 'dump odours' and suggested Cork
County Council conduct a safety audit on the odours (a veiled ref-
erence to the diving rocks controversy). He accepted the town
engineer's suggestion that he send an e-mail to Cork County
Council's Head of Environment section. 'Might as well send one to
the EP as well," contributed Cllr Beecher, "for what it's worth."
The town manager said she too would write, to the Director of
Services for Waste Management. Cllr Beecher labelled the CIE
grounds the front strand as "atrocious," adding, "they think they
can get away with it because they're a government body."
Cllr Linehan Foley then questioned whether the council could be
certain that the smell emanated from the dump at all. She pondered
whether the pong might be from the adjacent (SWS) sludge drying
facility. She argued that new smells did not resemble the old, open
odours she and her colleagues would recall from childhood. Her
point was well accepted.
Cllr Murray insisted that Cork County Council workers should
empty the Claycastle bins "every Friday and Monday" and not just
immediately following "a hoo-hah" over it in the council chamber.
"The town council workers can be seen seven days a week," she
proceeded, but as for their county council equivalents, "we seek
them here we seek them there!" The town engineer tersely
observed that domestic waste was being stuffed in the bins and
wondered whether they should be deployed at all! Cllr Murray
accepted his point but said they should be emptied at either side of
the weekend anyway. She also suggested that mobile CCTV be
utilised in county council areas, "especially Claycastle."
Cllr Murray asked that the Claycastle beach guard cabin be
replaced as the windows are facing the car park meaning life
guards "have to huddle in the doorway" to see the beach! (Turn it
round and the door is facing the wrong way!) She also queried
whether the lifeguards might, at interview stage, be urged to empty
nearby bins on very quiet days as a matter of 'civic pride.' The
town manager said she would inquire but the feeling was that the
proposal would sink. The councillor concluded by querying why
the work on the footpath at Foxhole had stopped.
Mayor McLellan inquired as to the bye-laws for dogs on the beach
during summer. Cllr Murray said new bye-laws prohibited dogs
being unleashed on the beach between 11 am to 7pm during from
May to August inclusive. During other times they had merely to be
"under control."
Mayor's Business:
Mayor McLellan said Youghal Boat Club hoped to hold their fes-
Page 3
tival in August at Nealon's Quay and wanted to cordon off he car
park. "They need to make a formal application so we can consid-
er the issues," replied the town clerk. The mayor then reminded
that a delegation from Youghal's French 'twin' Larmor Plage was
arriving that week, with a welcoming reception and dinner dance
earmarked.
Flags
When the mayor mentioned that a blue flag award ceremony was
occurring on Thursday 17th, Cllr Linehan Foley complained that
Youghal had received more media publicity for losing the flag at
the front strand than for receiving two at Redbarn and Claycastle.
Cllr Revins asked if the lost flag could be appealed and argued,
"it's the same body of water" that serves all three beaches. Using
somewhat unfortunate terminology, the town manager explained
that "the flush of water and what it brings down" can differ. Cllr
Murray felt that increasing the testing from 10 to 20 would vindi-
cate Youghal, which had only failed on one count. Cllr Beecher
observed that the national media seldom referred to Redbarn or
Claycastle as Youghal beaches and it was decided to precede ref-
erences to either with town's name in future.
Mayor McLellan said she had received complaints that the tri-
colour was not flown over the town hall during the Procession.
She was told that it was not a statutory requirement.
Minor Flood Relief -Coastal Protection Programme 2010:
Youghal received €18,000 towards flood relief, a fact greeted with
scorn and disdain by the chamber. "It's a joke," said Cllr Murray
adding that €1m was needed to fix the crack-ridden wall at the
beach alone.
Commission for Taxi Regulation Strategy Statement 2010-14:
Cllr Beecher asked when Youghal would get its taxi rank. "It must
be raised at Cork County Council level," said Mr Ryan, with the
number of taxi licence applications a determining factor."
Currently there is just one applicationn. Cllr Linehan Foley said
there would be more if the rank was first installed, while Cllr
Beecher felt the competition was needed against what he "had
heard" were "over the top prices" charged by the current services.
Youghal Eco Boardwalk Project: Application for funding to
Failte Ireland:
The town clerk said he had applied to Failte Ireland, through its
Atlantic Walkways Fund, for Phase1 funding. The three-Phase
project aims to provide a wooden walkway from Claycastle to
Redbarn, with Phase 1 covering the length of Claycastle.
Eventually the project would link with the town centre via the des-
ignated tourist walk already in place. Failte Ireland can provide up
to 75% funding for Phase1 and a decision on the application is
expected shortly.
Tidy Towns Task Force Report by Cllr Linehan Foley:
Cllr Linehan Foley said there is a big decline in hanging baskets
and hoped people would supply their own this year. She revealed
that, "regrettably, Ned Brennan is resigning from the Tidy Towns
altogether." The council agreed to send Mr. Brennan a letter of
gratitude for his efforts.
Report on Unresolved Motions:
Cllr Revins called on Cork County Council either to erect a gate-
way controlling access to the Claycastle car park or install ramps,
to combat the prevalence of 'boy racers.' He said he was "sick of
it" with families being endangered by speeding cars. Angrily, he
compared Claycastle car park to "a runway" adjacent to a caravan
park amidst efforts to promote tourism. "The gardai need to
increase their enforcement," he added. Cllr Beecher concurred that
it was "crazy" what was going on" and advocated erecting a barri-
er at night.
Cllr Murray drew attention to parking on the Lighthouse Hill and
suggested CIE should park their buses at their derelict site in the
strand rather than the council accommodating them. She also
asked when the signs denoting free main street parking from 1-
2pm would emerge. Mr. Ryan said to await the passing of the new
parking bye-laws. Regarding the Lighthouse Hill, he advised that
it was a Cork County Council issue and that there were several

factors involved, including redesigning and "proper bays". He
noted to that private bus and truck operators also currently parked
there.
Cllr Beecher inquired as to a new footpath on the Quarry Road, a
handrail between Knockaverry and Kilcoran Road and "continu-
ing the road" from Blackwater Heights to Woodview Court. He
was told the only impediment was the lack of funds.
Motion in the name of Cllr. Murray seconded by Cllr. Beecher:
"That Youghal Town Council commission an independent study
that will encompass all aspects of the Irish Water Safety Report.
This report should also evaluate how best this Council can proceed
in ensuring that the Diving Rocks will be reopened to the public as
soon as possible."
The councillors were at pains to clarify that they had nothing to do
with either the safety assessment or the subsequent closure of the
diving rocks. In actuality, they had not even been informed of
either in advance and were quite angry about that. There were in
unanimous disagreement with the closure. Cllr Murray said Cllr
Liam Burke- who was absent from the meeting- had sent each
councillor his detailed views on the issue from his perspective as
a regular visitor to the area spanning 50 years.
Cllr Murray said there was risk inherent in many places, whether
locally -at the beach's submerged groynes, the quayside, the Slob,
the Ardmore cliffs- or as far distant as Skellig Michael, where two
people had died in recent times. Danger in natural environments
was part of life. She questioned the validity of an assessment con-
ducted in February on a summer facility and referred to the banal-
ity of assuming someone might dive off a board from three feet
into an empty pool at low tide! Cllr Murray then warned that clos-
ing off the access effectively meant creating danger by denying an
exit to those who accessed the area via the beach. "Can we not find
a way to keep it open, with some signage and minor repairs,
instead of trying to wrap people in cotton wool?" she pleaded. She
hoped a consultant "with a little bit of savvy" could indicate like-
wise.
Cllr Beecher said the area, which had never seen an accident, was
"now more dangerous" with the closure. Cllr Linehan Foley noted
that the Cliffs of Moher weren't closed off. Neither were Youghal's
quays; people undertook visits to such places at their own, con-
scious risk. She urged haste towards a new report and said the
long-cordoned viewing stands be included too.
Cllr Revins noted that emergency service access was hardly a
valid safety issue when "the services train on those rocks" and
would access the site by sea. He criticised the absence of local
knowledge from the safety report. Cllr Coyne also questioned the
report's credibility, pointing out that it recommended Green Hole
as a more suitable swimming area, despite it displaying a red flag!
Cllr Hennessy said the rocks were "part of our heritage and should
never have been closed." She said the area's natural topography
was an educational as well as a recreational attraction for children
and adults. She wanted it re-opened "this year!" Mayor McLellan
said it was "health and safety gone mad" and that octogenarians
were now compelled to climb a wall to get to their preferred swim-
ming spot.
Complaints? What complaints?... So where did it all begin? The
source of alleged "complaints" remains unclear. Town Manager
Patricia Power has not responded to e-mail requests before subse-
quently stating that she was "not sure whether I received com-
plaints in writing or orally" and has failed to define how many
complaints there were or their nature.
However the manager informed June's council meeting that said
had been told of "a number of reports" citing the area as "being
unsafe." On inquiring as to their origin, she recalled that Cork
County Council had a few years previous employed health and
safety consultants "to try to inbed the issue of health and safety
issues within the working day of a local authority." At that time
comments had been made on the diving rocks and last year the
council's health and safety section had represented the area as
unsafe, with a report dispatched to the town council. She then con-
sulted with "some of our health and safety people" as to who
should conduct a risk assessment and opted for the Irish Water
Safety Association. The insinuation of the public voicing concern
is thus debunked as a sham, if not officially so.
No apology Ms Power said she had no apology to make for order-
ing the closure, given the report's findings. A subsequent assess-
ment by the county council's own health and safety personnel, she
added, vindicated the original report. She would "not sit over a sit-
uation" where she was told somewhere was very unsafe and she
would be "horrified to think we could have fatalities there,"
regardless of its fine history of safety. She added that Skellig
Michael was a different entity as it necessitated a conscious deci-
sion, involving a long journey bedecked with warning signage, to
visit it. Youghal's diving rocks offered a more "casual" decision.
Also, the 40ft in Dublin was deemed safe but an experienced
swimmer was nor a paraplegic after diving there.
As regards a resolution, there was little money for repairs etc, but
following Cllr Burke's report, Ms Power had agreed to have a fur-
ther assessment conducted across all health and safety (as against
engineering) concerns. As requested, this would be conducted in
summertime and within weeks.
The chosen firm is Chris Mee, Safety Engineering, Cork, a mem-
ber IOSH, a highly reputed global health and safety organisation.
Chris Mee have conducted work in Youghal before and the town
clerk said he was satisfied as to their local knowledge capacity.
Cllr Murray said there would remain risk regardless and said sig-
nage was crucial. Ms Power replied that "as many measures as
possible could be employed against known dangers" following the
audit and prior to gauging the remaining risk. Natural risks were
unavoidable but encouraging usage through providing a diving
board etc., carried responsibility, she explained.
The new safety audit will be prepared prior to July's meeting. The
council voted to foot the €2,500 bill for the survey, the money to
come through cutbacks in other, unspecified services. Always a
dark cloud to these silver linings. The council meetings will revert
to Monday nights from July following the resolution of the public
sector dispute.

AS A RECORD TWO BLUE FLAGS RAISED IN YOUGHAL
Youghal was officially
confirmed as 'Ireland's
Finest Coastal Resort'
with two of its beaches,
Claycastle, and for the
very first time, Redbarn,
adjacent to the Quality
Hotel and Leisure Club
awarded 'Blue Flag
Status' by An Taisce on
Monday 14th June 2010.
The awards were pre-
sented by Mr. John
Gormley T.D., Minister for the Environment Heritage & Local
Government at Velvet Strand, Portmarnock, Co. Dublin.
This year a total 10 beaches in Cork - 5 in the South & East and 5
in the West of the county were awarded the prestigious blue flag
which represent the highest standards in water quality, environ-
mental information and education, environmental management
and safety, services and facilities.
Speaking at the official presentation of blue flag and green coast
awards ceremony at Youghal's Mall Arts Centre, Patricia Power,
Director of Services, Area Operations South, Cork County
Council commented: "It is important to remember that the Blue
Flag stands for more than just excellent bathing water quality. For
beaches, it covers 32 criteria which have developed over the years
to become more holistic and to address the various issues of sus- Aileen Ahern Youghal Tourism Development Officer, Cllrs Sammy Revins, Liam

munity groups, individuals and organisations which she stated
"were invaluable and a credit to those involved".
Youghal's blue flags are set to provide a timely boost to the
tourism industry in the area, with The Quality Hotel and Leisure
Club predicting the award will create at least 15 new jobs in their
facility. Speaking about the award, Allen McEnery, General
Manager said: "This news comes on foot of a very solid start to the
traditional holiday season by the Quality Hotel and Leisure Centre
Youghal. Bookings are well up on last year and we see this as our
customers telling us that they like what we have to offer to fami-
lies. We predict our business is set to grow by an additional 22 %
this year alone and as an island Nation - we have precious few
Hotels located on our beautiful beaches." said Allen.
In addition to Youghal's two flags in Claycastle and Redbarn, other
beaches in the area awarded blue flag status for Cork include:
Shanagarry: Garryvoe Beach, Old Head of Kinsale: Garrylucas &
Garrettsown, Clonakilty: Inchydoney, Rosscarbery: Owenahincha

KILLEAGH / INCH
COMMUNITY COUNCIL
The June meeting was held on Thursday 3rd June in Killeagh Hall.
A number of matters arose from that meeting as follows:
Pride in our Community - It was agreed that a tidy up of the old
graveyard in Killeagh would again be our project this summer.
Volunteers are sought and the first meeting is in Killeagh
Graveyard on Tuesday 15th June at 8p.m. There is a lot of work
to be carried out so plenty of help is needed. Please support.
Fundraising - A church gate collection will be held in our Parish
in aid of the Community Council on the weekend of the 3rd/4th
July. This is to raise much needed funds. This money will be
used to re-build the wall in the old graveyard and hopefully to buy
defribrillators for our parish and to cover insurance costs etc.
Please give generously.
Defibrillator - It is hoped to purchase a defibrillator shortly and
have same available locally. At present we are short numbers to
organise a rapid response group but hopefully more people will
take the training courses in the future. 12 people attended the first
training course in May and gave excellent feedback on same. It is
now hoped to run another two night course in July costing approx.
€60.00. 16-18 year olds can be subsidised for training expenses.
This course will be advertised shortly. Please consider same and
if interested contact Mary at 086-2324844 or Carmel at 087-
2040156.
Elections - This is the final term of the present community coun-
cil. Elections will be held later in the year.
Playground - This committee are negotiating with Cork County
Council as to the Council's requirements for suitable playground
equipment and the layout of the site. Progress has been made and
it is now hoped that an application can be made for funding in the
near future.
Tidy Towns - Killeagh village got disappointing results in the
recent litter challenge. Please make efforts to keep our village lit-
ter free and remove all rubbish from the locality.
The Community Council wish all those doing the Junior and
Leaving Certificate every success in their exams and in the future

Ardmore Notes
Mr Mullins.: Friday night at St Declan's Hall will be a nostalgic
occasion when the people of Ardmore will say farewell to Mr
Victor Mullins NT who is retiring from the school which he joined
in 1978. Victor has put a couple of generations of Ardmore chil-
dren through his hands, and his influence and inspiration has
touched most families. Like most rural schools, Ardmore school
is really an extension of many family homes and Victor really
embraced this concept as every student over those 32 years was
made feel at home and every parent welcomed with open arms. I
have often mentioned that Ardmore is blessed with children and
teenagers of character and integrity and while much of this comes
from the families, Victor Mullins and his fellow teachers has had
major influence on the character building on all the young men
and women, boys and girls of the area. We'll miss him.
His staff too will miss him as there has always been a great spirit
of happiness, cooperation and teamwork amongst the staff in the
school. It has always been a pleasure to visit and see this happy,
dedicated and highly motivated team in action. It speaks volumes
too for Victor's influence that two of the current staff are past
pupils of his. So a big party then on Friday at 8 pm in the Hall and
everybody is welcome. Unfortunately it looks as if the senior foot-
ball game with Ballinameala is going to clash but those who have
to go to the match will be home straight away afterwards - he
taught and coached many of the players! In fact one of the unique
things about the school is the interaction between the teachers and
the past pupils. Frequently you'd see past pupils popping in to say
hello but Victor followed the progress of everyone of them with a
keen interest and a great sense of pride.
The beautiful new Ardmore School will be a monument to him for
generations to come as will the astra turf pitch which he has
planned and which will be added during the summer holidays!
Let's hope a big crowd will make the effort to turn out and say
thanks to a man who has done our parish huge service over the past
32 years.
The Cliff Walk: The Cliff Walk is, next to the Round Tower, prob-
ably n Ardmore's most valuable asset, steeped in heritage with a
unique collection of flora and fauna including some very rare
species of birds, breathtaking scenery and a key lookout spot for
whale and dolphin watchers. The extreme frost and heavy rain last
winter did untold damage to it and also to the grounds of St
Declan's Well and the vigorous growth which has followed since
knocked much of the fencing and all but closed the walk with bri-
ars and nettles. Up to recent years The Ardmore Enterprise group
kept it in good repair and a recent attempt for funding to restore it
to its natural and beautiful self was hi-jacked. Hence, there have
been many complaints to Waterford County Council, to various
business people and to locals as people were being torn with bri-
ars walking it. Most of the complainants haven't even seen it in wet
weather, when it is much worse, impassable with floods and muck.
Well low and behold it is walkable again. Some knight or knights
in shining armour (and I wasn't one of them) tackled into it over
the weekend and cleared all the bushes and briars to open the path
and even managed to repair some of the fencing. They did a fan-
tastic job, but the fencing still needs a good bit of work done and
the blocked drain and rain outlets still need attention.
That's community spirit in action. They just got up and did it - no
bull, no lectures, no meetings and no pay. Volunteerism is a crucial
part of our heritage that is disappearing before our eyes and being
buried by red tape and pseudo experts. Well done to the people
who took on this wonderful job - Ardmore owes you!
Sewage nearing completion: After months of heavy construction
work, the interim sewage plant in the church car park is nearing
completion. Originally scheduled to be completed by the June
bank holiday it does look as if the road will finally be re-opened
this week, to the relief of everyone. With the marvellous June sun-
shine, Ardmore has been very busy and both the road usage and
car parking spaces have been hectic. Hopefully, now when the
contractors move out that they will clear up the whole place.
Bathing Water.
Good news on the bathing water quality is that the quality of the
Ardmore beach bathing water has improved and that both
Ballyquin and Goat Island have been awarded The Green Flag for
high quality bathing water.
Masses
Having enjoyed more sunshine already this summer than the entire
summers of recent years we finally had confirmation that summer
has officially arrived at the weekend when Fr Milo announced that
Sunday mass will return to Ardmore from next Sunday. Summer
Mass times are: Ardmore Church - Saturday 7.30 pm and Sunday
11.30 am; Grange Church: Sunday 10 am.
New Rector.
There was a lovely Evensong ceremony at St Paul's Church on
Sunday evening where many locals gathered to welcome Rev
Patrick Hewitt on his first official visit to Ardmore. George Perks
did the official welcome, Rev Hewitt conducted the ceremony to
the accompaniment of the lovely choir and all enjoyed some
delightful refreshments afterwards.
Concert.
The Community Alert Committee Concert on Saturday night was
most enjoyable and a fine crowd showed up to support it as well.
Jim Lane compered the evening and joined in with the mystery
tour group in the anchor spot as well. Johnny Smith was in great
voice as were the 6th class children from Ardmore School and
there was some lovely dancing from the O'Brien girls and wonder-
ful music from Kathleen Quinn and Josephine Fitzgerald.
Summer Bazaar.With only a couple of weeks to go to the annual
summer bazaar the Hall Committee have asked that any unwanted
items of household goods or garden furniture will be kindly
accepted. Regrettably items of clothing, shoes and handbags can-
not be accepted.
The Hall Committee is also running a raffle for a first prize of a

birds were expected to cover the 217 miles in a very fast time. This
was how it turned out with birds in just after 4 hours. First home
this week was P & A Kelly who timed in at 12.37. Their bird was
flying over 54 miles per hour. The full result was as follows:- 1st
P & A Kelly, 2nd M. Aherne, 3rd M. Aherne, 4th B. Hehir, 5th F.

Cruising in Croatia
On the morning of Sat 3rd July a coach will depart Youghal for
Dublin Airport. This will be our third time heading for Croatia
for a weeks' sailing the warm blue Adriatic Sea, calling at
ancient & medieval ports such as Vis, Hvar, Split and
Dubrovnik. For those who enjoy warmer climes there's nothing
can beat, 1 week on 2 luxury 50ft Yachts in the deep blue
Adriatic.
Our 2010 cruise to Croatia is now full and crews have complet-
ed safety training and are packing to leave on the 3rd July. With
air temperatures falling no lower than mid 20's by night,
breezes are ideal for sailing in the Adriatic, keeping the edge
off the daytime highs of mid to high 30's. Rainfall totals 25mm
in July in Croatia, the same amount that typically falls in
Ireland in just 1 hour.
Sea temperatures peak at 28°C in July making morning and
evening dips feel like getting into the bath, mid afternoon
swims help cool off before lunch in a secluded cove off the
beaten track. Last year, while snorkelling in such a cove, we
found the wreckage of a fighter plane - obviously there since
the conflict of the early 90's.
What about the culture, the people and the country itself…
Croatia is predominantly a Roman Catholic country, there are
2 main indigenous industries - wine making and marine
tourism - (we mix both to everyones' satisfaction). An aspirant
EU member the local currency is the Kuna, 7 of which equals
a Euro, the price of a beer in most tavernas. Duty Free entitle-
ments are as for non-EU countries. The cost of living is slight-
ly lower than home but there is a tourist factor here. Influences
in food etc are a mix of Greek and Italian with a local empha-
sis on seafood which is always fresh. Croats are a friendly race
who always hold a welcome for the Irish.
Our previous visits have been to Split and Dubrovnik, on
Dubrovnik Airlines from Cork direct to within minutes of our
charter bases. This year, seeking to experience the northern
part of the country we were restricted to Zadar Airport (a
Ryanair hub) and hence a Ryanair flight from Dublin. The
slight inconvenience of using Ryanair and Dublin have been
cancelled out by hiring a coach to deliver and retrieve us from
Dublin and with the flight originating in Ireland it means we
have a full days' extra sailing between flights.
Bookings will open at Christmas for our Croatia 2011 cruise,
likely venues Split or Dubrovnik once again ex Cork. I know
what you're thinking… This must cost a fortune! - well, a full
week sailing on a 50ft Yacht in the above mentioned paradise
for just €700 per person - beat that Failte Ireland!
Our next Irish cruise will begin on Monday of the August
weekend and take in the SE coast, possibly as far north as
Wicklow and returning to Kinsale on the following Friday
night. Call us for details 024 90542.
Weather Outlook - (2 week)
All weather forecasts come with a 24-48hr time limit, follow-
ing is based on computer models used by professionals but
they are only models
First half of this week is truly summer weather but a shift in the
Azores High mid week will allow a weak depression come
near us. This will bring cloud with light rain, if any, but the
weather will settle again towards the weekend as locally High
pressure builds. Temperatures won't break any records next
weekend as the winds will be mainly from the north.
Next week sees a spell of what we've been having recently,
sunshine, cloud, with occasionally wet spells, the High never
getting the strength to keep things cloud free.
Nothing bad in the forecast but no record breaking summer
weather either, with the exception of moisture levels which are
well below what recent summers have dealt us.
(For those going to Croatia - High is building and weather is
settling into normal summer patterns - going to be perfect for
our trip in 2 weeks, as outlined above!)

LAUNCH OF YOUGHAL 4 MILE ROAD RACE AND WALK
IN AID OF MARYMOUNT HOSPICE
By Derek Kiely
WHEN does an athletics race/walk become a
very personal part of your life? Martin Drake,
a very well known Youghal athlete who to this
day is a huge character within the sport and
still an enthusiastic competitor, only knows
too well as he sadly lost his wife Caroline
nearly a year ago. Now, as a tribute to her and
an opportunity to help Marymount Hospice in
some way, he is organising what could be one
of the biggest East Cork road races outside of
the Ballycotton '10' in association with
Youghal Athletic Club. The large group pictured at the Launch of the Youghal 4 Mile Race and Walk
Last week the official launch of this great project took place in
Farrells Summerfield Bar and it was apparent that the huge num-
bers that attended this launch were thrilled to be part of this per-
sonal and very worthy event.
Noel Berkley and James McCarthy are just two of many elite and
International athletes that will take to the roads of Youghal to help
raise funds for this most worthy cause as well as show Martin their
support.
Martin and his co-organiser Tim Twomey got together months ago
to see what they could do and since that meeting the names just
keep rolling in. Twomey told Evening Echo Sport "The purpose of
this whole event is twofold, one to honour the memory of Caroline
and two to raise some funds for Marymount. We now have over a
100 sponsorship cards out there and our printer sponsor 'Flanagan Michael Farrell of Farrells Summerfield Bar (Sponsor), International Athlete Mary
Sweeney, Martin Drake, Race Promoter, Mayor of Youghal Sandra McLellan, Pat
Print' is printing another couple of hundred such is the demand and Collins of Jack O’Patsy Pottery (Sponsor), Athlete Willie O’Mahony, Cathy
that is great". O’Donovan of Marymount Hospice and Tim Twomey Race Promoter pictured at
The race has many sponsors already including Farrells Bar and the launch on Friday last
Jack O Patsy Pottery and the race will start on Sunday July the
18th at 2pm at Summerfield Cross make its way through Youghal
turn at the North end of the town continue back up the quayside
and finish by the Front Strand at the old train station covering a
distance of four miles.The race is being measured and organised
by 'Ballycotton Running Promotions' and has an AAI Permit for
both runners and walkers of all levels alike.
Kathy O'Donovan representing Marymount Hospice said "We are
building a new hospital and we have the frame of it up, but we still
have a way to go and events like these are so important to us. The
new hospital would give patients individual rooms and give each
person the privacy they deserve, so again we say thank you to
everyone involved in this event".
Youghal Town Council Lady Mayor Sandra McLellan said "When
Martin first organised this charity event in aid of Marymount The Drake and Dalton Families at the launch
Hospice it started out as a local fundraiser, but it gradually started
to gain momentum and has turned into a huge event".
People from all walks of life are attending and contributing in
some shape or form for this race and the fun and entertainment that
will follow with the many prizes presented on the day, but the man
behind it all was for once really caught for words on the night.

Youghal Sandra McLellan Mary Sweeney and Martin Drake

Martin Drake told Youghal News "It was emotional, but it was
lovely. All of Caroline's family are here tonight and they are as
thrilled as I am about how highly thought of she was. I am delight-
ed and touched by the support I have received and I hope everyone
enjoys the day".

 THOMAS CURRAN AND CONOR COLEMAN ENDURE
FOR THE EMER CASEY FOUNDATION
By Derek Kiely
TWO Youghal men are about to take the ultimate sporting
endurance test known to man later this week when Connor
Coleman and Thomas Curran compete in the sold out 'Ironman
France' championship in Nice on Sunday next in aid of the Emer
Casey Foundation.
It's hard to know what makes people want to put their bodies
through this staggering test, but with a huge amount of belief and
determination it seems people can achieve anything they set their
minds to.
The two lads who are both serving Corporals in the Irish Army
based at Collins Barracks will jet out from Cork Airport on this
Thursday the 24th of June and have the incredible task of complet-
ing a 3.8 kilometre swim (2.4 Miles) followed by a 180 kilometre
cycle (112 Miles) and then finish the day with a marathon equiva-
lent to 26.2 miles or 42 kilometres.
Connor Coleman said "The idea popped into our heads about two
years ago and in September last year we completed a half iron man
event in Kenmare in Co. Kerry and we did pretty well in that fin-
ishing in about five and a half hours, so we said we would give the
full event a go".
Connor and Thomas will transport their bicycles by boxes and all
their other equipment with them next Thursday and then the final
preparations will begin ahead of this spectacular event.
Thomas Curran said "We will bring our bikes and equipment with
us to the race venue on Saturday and then the organisers will put
them in the transition stations and we will be well aware come
Sunday morning where everything is".
When the lads put their feet on the start line at 6.30am on Sunday
morning they will face a testing swim in the Mediterranean, then a
cycle through sections of the Alps finishing with a 4x10k circuit
which runs through the Boulevard of the famous French City.
Connor added "We have tried very hard to get in all three disci-
plines each week at different stages and we have done each disci-
pline individually but not all together, but we are fit, prepared and
very confident of completing the course, it would take something
dramatic for us not to finish".
Both Connor and Thomas received fantastic support from Youghal
Cycling Club and from the Army who helped with training time.
"We have got tremendous support, the local Cycling club let us go

for the Emer Casey Foundation.
on long spins with them every Sunday morning and the Army have
been great and myself and Connor wanted to do this for a worth-
while charity and we decided to do it for the Emer Casey
Foundation because it is a local charity and we know the family
and that makes it more personal" added Curran.
The Ironman qualifying series includes 22 events throughout the
world that qualify athletes for the Ford Ironman World
Championship held every October in Kona, Hawaii, so it is really
a top class elite athlete event.
Thomas and Connor will fly the Youghal flag in Nice this coming
weekend and the sense of achievement should be enormous some
thirteen or fourteen hours after the starter's gun fires at the crack
of dawn this Sunday morning, we all wish them the very best.

Lotto - There was no winner of the lotto jackpot on the 14th. The
numbers drawn were 17,34,36. Next week's jackpot stands at
1,400 euro.
Junior A Hurling League - Killeagh 1-9 Erin's Own 3-9.
Our Junior hurlers travelled to Caherlag on last Thursday night and
faced a well organised Erin's Own side. Goals win matches and it
was Erin's Own who slipped three past us. A tight encounter oth-
erwise meant there was little between both teams. At half time it
was 3-06 to 1-6. But we couldnt breach the gap but we held our
own in the second half.
Fixtures: Senior Hurling Championship vs Cloyne, Friday 25th at
7:30pm in Castlemartyr. Not to be missed!
Junior A Hurling Championship vs Carrig na bhFear, Sunday 27th
at 3pm in Castlelyons.
U14 A East Cork Final vs Carrigtohill, Thursday 24th at 7pm in

Senior Hurling League - Killeagh 4-13 vs Sars 1-17. Sars travelled
to us on Tuesday night for our latest league encounter. Both teams
with a point to prove after being defeated in the opening champi-
onship games. This game got off to a flying start with very little to
separate both sides. We went in at the break marginally ahead. The
breaks came our way in the secons half and we held on to that lead
for the remainder of the game and a well deserved victory on the
night.
Killeagh 2-10 vs Erins Own 3-18. On Saturday evening we trav-
elled to Caherlag hoping to build on our mid week victory in
Killeagh. But Erin's Own still on a high from their championship
first round victory had other ideas and curtailed our attacks and
had our rear guard under pressure. Right from the off we lost a
couple of key players early in the first half and that unsettled us in
a game where we were always playing catch up. But we stil man-
aged to clock up a respectable score which on other nights would
win many a match. Over all a good performance and we look for-
ward to Friday night in Castlemartyr.
Golf Classic - This event is fast approaching, July 8th, 9th, 10th.
Time sheets filling up fast so if you fancy yourself our your friends
do as a bit of a pro why not come along and win some great prizes

Hope to see great support for the lads both Friday and Saturday
evening!

 Aura's Award Winning Member
Youghal woman Mary O'
Keeffe had plenty of cause for
celebration recently when she
was chosen as Aura Youghal
Leisure Centre's Member of
the Month.
The monthly awards which
have been recently launched
at Aura Youghal aim to recog-
nise and celebrate Aura mem-
bers for their dedication and
commitment to their personal
fitness goals.
Mary who lives in Garyduff,
Lackaroe just outside Youghal
has been a regular at Aura
since she joined last
December and visits the cen-
tre three or four times a week.
She attributes much of her
improved fitness levels and improved body shape to her Aura
workouts and the training she does with Aura Fitness Instructor
David Fitzmaurice.
"My main reason for joining Aura was to improve my health and
fitness levels. I really wanted to work on my cardiovascular fitness
and tone up and re-shape my body. My husband has been a mem-
ber of Aura since last May and has seen great progress with his
own fitness goals and was always encouraging me to join,"
explained Mary.
"I always had a fear factor about joining a gym, like many people
I didnt understand the machines or the programmes. But at Aura,
they made everything so easy. The staff are fantastic, they are
approachable and helpful and they really cater for people of all
ages and abilities, which is ideal for a first time gym user like me,"
added Mary.
"At Aura, they really help you stay motivated. The fitness team
have been great in helping me with a specially devised programme
which we update every month. They really keep you on your toes.
Getting the right help is crucial and I really enjoy the active goal
setting. Sticking to an exercise routine can be a challenge, but with
the right help and guidance you can make it work," added Mary.
"All our family are Aura members. Our two older children Aaron
and Roisin are regulars in the gym and our youngest son Conor is
a member of the Aura 'Swim Academy'. So it's really a family
affair for us. We made a conscious decision to have a healthier
lifestyle, to improve our diet and do regular exercise, it's a culture
in our family now and the results have been fantastic," added
Mary.
"Mary is the perfect candidate for this month's award. She was a
first time gym user and has now turned into a regular and the
results speak for themselves. She is the perfect example of how a
little dedication and hard work can go a long way and shows us
that anyone can make their health ambitions become a reality"
explained Tracy Kenneally, Operations Manager at Aura Youghal
Leisure Centre.
"Aura is all about helping people feel better about themselves. We
want people to feel confident and happy with their exercise choic-
es and empower them to become pro active about their own fitness
responsibilities," explained Tracy.
"We want to celebrate and reward those who impress us with their
commitment and dedication and we want to further motivate peo-
ple to keep up their good work. Hard work and dedication goes a
long way and it's our members who are always telling us it's worth
it in the end," added Tracy.
- UPCOMING CONCERTS -
AN EVENING WITH
The 4 of Us Unplugged
Brendan and Declan Murphy
at the Walter Raleigh Hotel, Youghal • Friday July 2nd 2010
Brendan & Declan Murphy of The 4 Of Us will perform the highlights
of their 20 year career, along with new material, on their upcoming Irish
tour in May.
The Newry-born brothers have a critically-acclaimed back catalogue
spanning 20 years and six Top 20 albums, including hits such as Sunlight
- voted No 4 in a Today FM poll of Best Ever Irish Singles, and Mary -
one of the most played Irish tracks on national and regional radio.
The two-hour shows will be an opportunity to hear their songs in an
acoustic setting performed as they were originally written.
Brendan and Declan undertake a 20 date German tour in April alongside
Kieran Goss before returning to Ireland to mix the new album, a largely
acoustic affair that sets out to capture the quality of their acoustic shows.
The album is due for release in Ireland in September 2010.
Tickets available at Scott’s Treasure Shop, 137 North Main Street,

SATURDAY AUGUST 7TH 2010
The Waterford five-piece spent the
last six months of 2009 astounding
all and sundry with their unique
brand of gorgeously crafted and
constructed music.
Following on from their headline
appearance on the New Band Stage
at Oxegen, they released their first
single “PO” which ignited the inter-
est of the media and industry –
between October and December the
band performed numerous sessions
on TV, radio and websites as well as
shows and showcases increasing
their fan base with each one; by the end of the year O Emperor was band
to watch out for.
2010 has seen O Emperor in and out of the studio working on the EP and
their debut album due for release in September. Never happier than when
performing the band have also graced stages around the country and UK
including supporting Ocean Colour Scene and more recently Mumford
and Sons. To celebrate the release of “Reverie” O Emperor embark on an
extensive Irish tour.
"Gentle and delicate songs, guided by intricate urgently-picked guitars,
grinding electric lines, expansive piano playing, some electronic tom-
foolery, and wonderfully harmonised vocals - there’s a straightforward
sincerity to the music of Waterford band O Emperor. Sounding a little
like the Beach Boys, The Band, and The Smiths being digested by a can-
nibalistic Lee Mavers from the La’s, O Emperor haven’t even released an
album yet and they’re already better than many decades-old bands I
could mention..."

 Youghal U12 County Camogie Champions
Youghal U12 County Camogie Cahmpions 2010 with their coaches
U12's D County Final
Youghal 3-4 Ballinascarty 0-1
The venue was the new Camogie grounds in Mahon and the game
was set for 7.15. It was a glorious day and one that Youghal
Camogie will remember for a very long time.
The support from the club was huge and spured the girls on even
more with their encouragement.
The game started off a little shaky for the girls as the nerves had
not settled and there was almost a very early goal from the
Ballinascarty side, but the Youghal defence was on the ball and
nothing was going past Goalie Niamh Kelly on the day.
Full back Niamh Roche played a stormer cleaning up every ball
and sweeping it out to her very good corner back line of Chloe
Landers and Elizabeth Brennan.
The very consistant Center back line of Eimear Farrell, Louise
Dempsey and Clodagh O'Keeffe did their jobs of putting the good
Captain Shauna O’Connell
center forwards of Ballinsascarty under a lot of pressure. Louise
Dempsey herself caught many balls leaving the supporters gasp-
ing.
Throughout the game thepairing of Catriona O’Keefe and Captain
Shauna O’Connell were dominating the midfield, Shauna's ability
to hook her marker and Catriona who was on target scoring 3
points from 3 frees.
The center forward line of April Arthur, Aoife O’Neill and Aine
Forrest were the cause of the super first half goal from Erin Galvin
this goal came almost immediately after the Ballinascarty side
threaterned on the opposite side of the pitch, this lifted the girls
spirits and they knew that they were capable of winning this final.
Coming into the break the girls confidence shot up again as a scuf-
fle on the line resulted in a goal from the corner forward Ciara
Crowley.
At half time sub Lydia Blake was used. The girls started off very
positive again and there really weren't many chances for the oppo-
sition to score, that did not reflect the game at all though as both
teams were very strong and spectators enjoyed the fast paced game
that had plenty of action.
Towards the end of the second half a fantastic shot from Ciara
Crowley was disallowed for a square ball, if it was given, it was
sure to be the goal of the game. In the last few minutes another
goal came from full forward Erin Galvin to seal the deal and bring
victory home for the girls.
Chairperson of the Juvenile County board Tracey Sheehan
acknowledged that even though it was a lower division, both
teams played at top class level. She also said that the talent on the
pitch was so good and everyone agreed that we will see a lot of
these girls playing for the county in the years to come.
Trainers Janette Power and Carmel Dempsey, who both have
daughters playing for the u12's have been with the girls all the way
up from u8's and it shows as the girls all have great discipline and
love their game.
We hope that both trainers, who have done a fantastic job with the
girls will move up through the age groups with them. Thank you
also to junior player Ann O’Connell who gave up her time to help
out with the girls this year.
A special thank you to Michael Landers and his wife Tara, who
provided all the food and their facilities at Doyles Restaurant for
the girls and the supporters for their victory party.
Well done again girls this is a huge boost for the club and gives the
Junior girls something to live up to.

 Killeagh-Ita’s Juvenile GAA
After the relative calm of last week this week saw a frenzy of
activity, especially for those from 7 to 14. Here's a roundup of
the main events.
Fé14 East Cork hurling semi-finals - double success
:The barony of Imokilly was abuzz with the thrill and excitement
of Fé 14 hurling championships this week, with four grades from
'A' through to 'D' contested, and we at Killeagh-Ita's were lucky
enough to participate in two of these grades. Our 'A' team played
Fr. O Neill's on home soil last Wednesday evening under the
watchful eye of reiteoir Ian O Brien. We produced a good all-
round team performance, with our backs standing firm under pres-
sure and our forwards picking off their scores. We had secured a
nice cushion at the short whistle, with goals from Conor Cusack
and Gary Leahy and a brace of points from the camán of Shane
Smiddy. We continued to press ahead to the final whistle, thus
earning our place in this year's final, where our opponents will be
the Carrigtwohill boys, who overcame Midleton sa chluiche leath-
cheannais eile.
Our second squad contested the 'D' semi-final with Midleton's sec-
ond string on Thursday last in Midleton. We proved the stronger
outfit on the night, with the big men, our own Aisake and Cussen
(Daniel & Tadhg) up front, poaching 5-7 between them. Slot in a
few more sharp shooters in Eric, Cian, Padraig and Mikey and we
were on our way to face Fr O Neill's second string in this final.
Best of luck to both squads and their mentors in these upcoming
games. The 'A' final is on Thursday next June 24th in Caherlag @
7.00 p.m. while the 'D' final takes place in Ahavine on Sat 26th @
3.00 p.m.
O'Loughlin-Kearney Cup (Fé 8 Hurling):
Our thanks once again to Mary Ellen Kearney and family for
sponsoring this fantastic Fé 8 hurling blitz which we hosted in
Pairc Uí Chinnéide on Saturday last. Under the guidance of
Johnny Brenner and Donie Treacy, we had a wonderful day out in
the glorious sunshine. Little men from Lismore, Castlelyons and
Killeagh-Ita's played their hearts out to get their hands on this
lovely cup. All teams played each other on a league basis.
Lismore, the defending champions had reached the finished line
after their opening two games, but the final game was a thriller
and a battle for second place, between Castlelyons and Killeagh-
Ita's. As the final whistle sounded and last drop of sweat fell, we
had crossed that finish line to secure the runners-up spot. Mary
Ellen presented our delighted lads with their silver medals and
then the Lismore captain and team stepped forward for the gold,
plus the O'Loughlin-Kearney Cup. All teams enjoyed light
refreshments before their return journey home. Many thanks are
due to Allen, who refereed all games on the day, and once again to
Mary Ellen and family. We apologise to the Cois Bride lads, who
didn't make it due to communication problems. We're looking for-
ward already to 2011.
Fé 12 Hurling League:
Our Fé 12 hurling lads continued their league run on Saturday last,
playing host to the Sarsfields boys. Playing against the summer
breeze in the opening half, we had a little hill to climb at half time,
trailing by 2-7 to 1-3. With a few of our lads playing below par we
failed to overturn the deficit and so Sars secured the league points
on a score of 3-14 to 2-4.
Fé 11 Hurling:
Our Under 11 hurlers made the journey to Watergrasshill on
Tuesday evening and gave a solid performance, although they
weren't victorious on the night. This week they travel to Aghada
on Tuesday evening for their next game.
Fé 10 Hurling Blitz:
Youghal were our hosts on Saturday afternoon last in the second
round of the Go Games Blitz (Fun 1). We were short a couple of
players but battled gamely. Youghal and Midleton both got the bet-
ter of us in very close contests, while Bride Rovers were much
stronger than us. However, we finished strongly, beating
Carrigtwohill in the final game. Well done to all the boys and to
John Irwin, under whose guidance this team is consistently pro-
gressing.
Fé 9 Football
We definitely used up all our carbon footprint this week, what with
another long journey to the north west of the division on Saturday.
Glenville hosted us in the Glanmire-run U-9 football league. In
this 10-a-side game, our boys implemented all the skills they have
been working hard on in training with Alan, John and Tom, and
secured their first win of the season. Well done boys!
In other news, we'd like to congratulate Joe Deane on his TV3
analysis last Sunday for the Cork v Limerick game. Maybe when
you finally hang up the boots a new career awaits you Joe.
However, you can't hang them up just yet, as we have a critically
important game for the club on Friday evening when our senior
hurlers take on Cloyne in Round 2 of the Cork County SHC. The
game is fixed for Castlemartyr, Friday 25th, at 7.30 p.m. We need
everyone's support, young and old, so walk, run, cycle or drive,
but get there if you can!
COMHALTAS CEOLTOIRI
EIREANN
Seisiun Ceolta Si will shortly stage its 20th consecutive annual
show of music, song, storytelling and dance .This remarkable
show has endured the test of time and its success is attributed to the
dedicated education and training of home grown talent by the ever-
green local Comhaltas Branch.This year’s show will once again be
staged at Bru na Si the home of traditional music in the area. As
usual the show will be staged each Monday and Thursday evening
at 8-30pm,but patrons are advised that 2010 seasons will not start
until Monday the 12th of July.
Over 30 members of the local Branch will travel to the Willie
Clancy Traditional Music Festival which takes place in Milltown
Malbay from the 3rd to 11th July . Trips away are often viewed as
a means by which young musicians, dancers, and singers are
rewarded for their endeavours. Travel is a great educator young
people are exposed to the highest level of workshops, performanc-
es, skills and stagecraft. Greater camaraderie with their colleagues
and peers is also enhanced during trips.
Once a month a dedicated group of our younger musicians and
dancer perform at Ard na Mhara near Ladysbridge. Ard na Mhara
is a sheltered break-house run by Enable Ireland.This group is
always very well received and thoroughly enjoyed by the residents
and staff. Special thanks to Aoife Butler and the dedicated parents
who organise this event on behalf of the branch.
Mid-Summers Ball at Mall Arts Centre is a regular date for our Lar
na Cruinne group. This year’s event took place last Saturday 17th
June. The group were once again very well received and many of
the regular patrons to the Ball commented on the maturity of the
music played by these talented young musicians. Lar na Cruinne
also performed recently at Churchtown Nursing home.
5 practice set of uileann pipes were purchased by Comhaltas from
John Mitchell pipe maker. The branch now has access to six pipes
and six harps which we propose to make available for tuition this
September. It has been suggested that we should organise an open
day to launch this initiative.
Congratulations to the individuals who have qualified for the
Munster Fleadh in Kenmare July 17th and 18th. Kate O Halloran
u12. Elisabeth Burke u12, Jane Crowley u15, Emily Desmond u15,
Jo Burke u15 and Sinead Mansfield senior have all qualified in
solo competition, and we wish them the very best. The u15 ceili
band and grupai ceoil, together with the senior grupai ceoil also
qualified, giving a total of 54 competitors representing the local
branch of Comhaltas for Munster’s premier event in Traditional
music.

 Claycastle Pitch & Putt
All at the club would like to pass on their sincere sympathies to
Paddy and Sonny Mangan on the death of their sister, may she rest
in peace. Lady captain Phil Mangan’s prize was deferred owing
to the bereavement and will now be played at a later date.
National Matchplay Championship 2010-Larkspur Park, Cashel.
The flagship event of the pitch and putt season was played for over
the June bank holiday weekend. Taking their place in the field of
64 at the National Matchplay at Larkspur Park in Cashel were
Claycastles Anthony O’ Loughlin and Johan Brosnan. In round
one Anthony overcame a young and spirited Anthony Mahoney
from the Glenville club in Dublin by a margin of 3&2. Johan had
the tough task of playing Tipperary Inter-county player John O’
Meara form the Riverdale club in Neneagh. Johan got off to a flier
and was -7 for the first 8 holes and had established a lead that he
would hold on to and record a terrific victory by a margin of 5&4.
In round two Anthony found himself paired against an inform
John Cahill (Fermoy) and was soundly beaten 10&9. Johan’s
reward for his first round triumph was a tie against former nation-
al champion Leo O’ Reilly (Glenville). After a tense match Johan
edged the game by 4&3. We were now in the business end of the
championship with just 16 players remaining. Another Tipp man
stood in Johans way, this time it was current Irish international and
second favourite for the tournament Paul O’ Brien (Templemore).
Johan cared little for his opponents lofty reputation as one of the
best match players in the game and stormed into an early lead of
3up through 11 holes and notable 8 under par! Word was spread-
ing around the course of a major upset, the gallery flocked to wit-
ness the young prodigy from the seaside and one of the greatest
matches of the championship. With the home crowd willing their
man on Johan refused to buckle under the intense pressure and
closed out an historic victory by a margin of 4&3. In the scorch-
ing Cashel heat their were just 8 players remaining and they were
swiftly called for battle again with Johan paired against Dublin’s
top player John Crangle (Loughlinstown). Crangles pitching was
of the highest order and he quickly established a commanding lead
of 3 up. Johans spirit and attitude was praised by many in earlier
rounds and he dug deep again to claw his way back into contention
to go 2 down with 12 holes remaining. However Crangle contin-
ued his fine form and closed out the game by 5&4. Crangle went
on to loose the final to Collins Chris Scannell. Johan represented
himself and his club with great distinction over the weekend, the
manner and spirit in which he played and respected each opponent
has to be praised. In an era where the win at all cost mentality
seems to prevail amongst most sportspeople Johan stood out
above the rest by playing with a smile on his face and a never say
die attitude. Johan was described by many spectators as ‘a breath
of fresh air’ and he truly done the club proud over the weekend,
well done Yogi!! Congratulations to Anthony O’ Loughlin, Colin
Sheehan and Johan Brosnan who all qualified from their respec-
tive grades for the Gents Munster Strokeplay which will be played
at the Riverdale course in Neneagh in two weeks time. Best of
luck in the finals lads.

YOUGHAL CYCLING CLUB
NEW Club Kit Roll Out 20th June 2010
It finally arrived. The new club kit was unveiled last Sunday when
a group of 10 gathered at Moby Dicks at 8.00am for our grand
depart. All suitably kitted out in the blue and magenta Santani
gear, we decided to take in a scenic coastal route for our weekly
Sunday Spin. We rode out the main Cork road before diverting
down the bog road for Ballymacoda. From their, we climbed the
coastal road to Garryvoe and onto Shanagarry before turning down
to Ballycotton. We climbed again out of Ballycotton up to
Churchtown South before dropping down to Whitegate for our
scheduled coffee stop. As we dined on our refreshments, we were
treated to a rowing race taking part in the Bay. Suitably Refueled
and ready for road, we took off again for Aghada and Saleen
before rolling around East Ferry and onto Midleton. From there we
rode the main road back to Youghal for around 12.30 pm with a
challenging 100km route completed.
The 10 O' Clock group consisting of 6 riders also gathered on the
good morning in the new Kit. The riders also traveled out the main
Cork road before diverting down the bog road for Ballymacoda.
From there they rode onto Garryvoe and Shanagarry where they
refueled on tea, coffee and sausage rolls for some. Ready for road,
they rode onto Cloyne, Ballinacurra and Midleton before turning
back the main road to Youghal. They arrived back in Youghal for
around 13.15 with another relaxing 65km completed for those who
participated.
The Leahy Cup, Cobh, Co. Cork. Last Sunday, Ballymore
Cycling Club held their annual Leahy Cup Race in Cobh. On the
day, the Youghal club was represented by Eoin Whyte and Brain
Sanders, also in their new club kit. They were both riding the sen-
ior event which consisted of 7 laps of a 10km and very hilly cir-
cuit. The who's who of southern road racing were all in attendance,
so this was to be biggest challenge of the year for the lads. Both
rode very well with Eoin finishing in the top 10 and Brian finish-
ing in the main bunch. Well done lads, more of the same soon
please.
Best Of Luck
Best of luck to Local Youghal IRONMEN, Tom Curran and
Connor Coleman, who have this week departed for France to take

and are idle for anyone looking to get the heart rate up a little and
bring on their fitness level.
Weekend Spins. As you are all well aware by now, there is a
weekly spin every Sunday morning at 8.00 am sharp leaving from
Moby Dicks Pub by the Clock Gate. This spin which runs on var-
ious routes every week usually takes between 4 to 5 hours ( weath-
er permitting ) and covers on average between 80 to 120km ( 55 to
75 miles ). The pace is comfortable and we usually stop half way
around for a coffee or tea. A second group also goes on a weekly
spin every Sunday morning at 10.00am sharp leaving from Moby
Dicks Pub by the Clock Gate. This spin which runs on various
routes every week usually takes around 2 hours to complete and
covers on average between 50 to 60km ( 35 to 45 miles ). The pace
is again very comfortable. This is an idle group for anyone inter-
ested in taking up the sport.
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 !!.

Day & Cheque Presentation SPONSOR ST. ITA’S GAA CLUB
St Itas GAA club would like to thank all in Murphy's Pharmacy for
sponsoring our first aid kit for the club. It’s that time of the year
again when the championship is in full swing, practice games are
being played and the panel are training hard.
One of the main items needed on the sideline is a good first aid kit,
its vital to be there to help tend injuries, cuts and whatever scrapes
the players sometimes find themselves with.

supplied the St Ita’s GAA Club with a brand new first aid kit. Let’s

Ardmore GAA Notes
Presidential Visit.. Ardmore GAA Club will be honoured by the
visit of Uactaráin Cumann Lúthcleas Gael, Mr Christy Cooney,
who will officially launch The St Declan's Way sponsored walk.
This is a huge undertaking by the local club and is a real boost to
the history and heritage of the entire area. In one stroke a whole
host of people and many from our younger generations will dis-
covery and relish this near 1600 year old pilgrim path. All happen-
ing to coincide with the Pattern Festival and St Declan's Day.
The walk will be divided into 4 sections as follows: Section 1:
Friday afternoon from The Heritage Centre in Lismore to
Cappoquin Community Centre via Drumroe (St Declan's birth
place) - approx an hour and a half;
Section 2 from Cappoquin to Geosh, with a brief stop at Keereen,
also on Friday and approx 3 hours including the stop;
Some walkers will travel to Lismore under their own steam and we
will bring them back by bus in the evening and some will travel by
bus to Lismore and be collected again by bus at Geosh.
I will detail the two Saturday sections in next week's notes, but it
will be a late morning start.
All our adult players have taken out sponsorship cards and we
hope that all able bodied adult club members and supporters will
also take cards and join in the walk - live the historic experience,
enjoy the fresh air and the country side and above all experience
the freshness of walking along routes hitherto unknown to you,
although beside you all your life. Don't miss it. Change your
schedules, whatever they are. This is an experience you will never
forget.
Crucial Meeting. A most important will be held at the clubhouse
on Thursday evening at 7 pm of all coaches and mentors from the
nursery age group up to and including minor. The meeting will
conclude at 7.30 in time for training. Anyone who cannot make
this meeting is asked to contact Billy Harty beforehand on 086-
8785222.
Field Congestion. Such is the demand for the use of our pitches
that our senior footballers had to go to Old Parish to train on
Monday night. We are indebted to our neighbours for once again
coming to our assisitance.
Munster Final Tickets. Thankfully we are looking forward to a
ticket scramble for the Munster Final, which takes place this year
in Thurles on Sunday July 11th. Every year, the club is inundated
with late requests for tickets from genuine members all of whom
we try to accommodate. Please, please make up your mind this
week whether you are travelling or not and order your tickets by
end of this week. We will only get tickets for those who have
ordered them by end of the week. Tickets can be ordered from Jay
Prendergast, James O'Donnell, Peg Freyne, John Tierney or Billy
Harty.
Senior Football. On Saturday evening our senior footballers were
victorious when they proved too strong for Rathgormack in
Leamybrien. The opening half was nip and tuck and we were
lucky to be in front at half time, thanks to an opportunist goal from
Alan North. We were fast out of the blocks after the break and
quickly put the game out of Rathgormack's reach and a Kenny
Murphy goal and the benefit of an extra man for the final quarter
helped us seal a vital victory 2-10 to 0-6.
With Nire accounting for Ballinameala our next game will decide
our fate as Ballinameala are tied in second place on 2 points so it's
winner takes all on Friday night when we are in action against
Ballinameala in Fraher Field at 8pm.
Minor Hurling Minor training went ahead on Wednesday night in
a crowded field with senior training and ladies footballers also in
action. With the first championship game at home to St Saviour's
on next Wednesday, June 30th at 7.30 pm.
Under 14 Hurling Semi final. Our under 14 hurlers met Ballyduff
Upper in their semi final clash on Monday evening last.
Under 12 Football. These lads who have been training hard in
recent weeks are at home to An Gaeltacht on Sunday morning next
at 11.30.
 Youghal Athletic Club - Sponsored By Youghal Credit Union
All Ireland School Championships
On Saturday the 5th of June, 3 athletes from Pobailscoil Na
Trionoide competed in the All Ireland schools Competition.
First into action was Nikita Savage in the senior girl's Pole vault:
Nikita was reigning Senior champion and duly added a second title
in a row with a 3.20 metre, Nitika opened her competition with a
first time clearance at 2.80 metres and was successful first time at
3.00 and 3.20 metres. She was unlucky at 3.40 metres where she
failed with 3 very good attempts.
Lee Curley was competing in his first All Ireland Schools
Championships and finished a very creditable 4th place, one
height away from a medal. Lee started with a first time clearance
at 2.40 metres and was also first time over 2.60 metres. He came
very close to clearing 2.80 on his 3 attempts but it was not to be.
Patricia Curtin took part in the Intermediate Girls Javelin
Competition and put in a fine performance to finish up with a best
throw of 28.30 metres and just outside the medals in what was a
very competive competition.
Leinster Senior Championships
Sarah Ryan from Youghal A/C made the journey to Tullamore on
Sunday the 6th June to compete as a guest in the Leinster Senior
Women's Pole Vault Competition.
Sarah finished second in this competition with a clearance of
2.75metres, in miserable weather conditions. Sarah opened the
competition with a first time clearance at 2.55 metres and was also
successful first time over 2.75 metres. Sarah was unlucky at 2.95
metres with her three attempts and came very close on her final go
to clearing the bar. This was Sarah's first competition in a quite a
while taking off from her full distance run up and she showed that
there is a lot more to come,
National League first round - Tullamore, Co Offaly-13 June
The first round of the National League took place in Tullamore on
Sunday the 13th June. The National league is a team competition
where there are points awarded for each placing in every event.
Sarah Ryan from Youghal A/C was competing with Leevale A/C
as a guest on their team. Sarah competed in the Pole Vault
Competition which she duly won with a new PB of 2.90 metres.
Sarah opened with a first time clearance at 2.50 metres and was
again clear at 2.70 metres first time. Sarah knocked 2.90 on her
first attempt but made no mistake second time. Sarah then went
for 3.10 and came close with each of her three attempts; it's only a
matter of time before she clears it.
Sarah also competed in the Javelin competition where she finished
4th with a throw of 23.79 metres, Sarah hasn't thrown Javelin for
a few seasons, so here's to a lot further before the league is over.
Munster Championships
Youghal AC had a number of athletes competing in the Munster
Track and Field Championships in Castleisland on 6th and 13th
June. The club had three teams entered in the B/9, B/10 and B/11
2 X team competitions. The B/9 team saw cousins Kristian
Coughlan and Billy Gillman compete in the Ball Throw and 300m.
The boys came 3rd in the Ball Throw; Kristian threw 25.83m and
Billy threw 15.07m. They also ran very well in the 300m. The
lads have now qualifed for the All Ireland Ball Throw in
Templemore on 26th June. Very well done to these young rising
stars!
The B/10 team saw Peter Buckley and Matthew Cody in action in
the 60m and 500m races. The lads came 7th in the 60m and did
very well in the 500m coming in a strong second. Peter ran in a
time of 1.38.82 and Matthew in a time of 1.41.81. These lads have
also qualifed for the All Irelands in Templemore. Well done lads!
The B/11 team saw Ben Donovan and Killian in action in the 60m
and 600m. The lads came a very good 7th in the 600m in a big
field. Killian ran in a time of 1.54.74 and Ben in a time of 2.19.20.
Well done lads!
Heather Curley competed in the Long Jump, 100m sprint and did
very well in the javelin coming 4th with her throw of 19.05 and
qualifying for the All Irelands in Tullamore in July. Lauren O'
Mahoney had a fantastic championship winning medals in all her
four events, hammer, discus, javelin and shot. She came 3rd in the
Javelin throwing 21.29m, 3rd in the Shot 8.82m, 2nd in the
Hammer 20.48m and Lauren went one step further to win the G/14
Discus Munster title. She also obtained PBs in all her events and
is showing tremendous form this season. She has to drop one
event for the All Irelands as you are only allowed to compete in
three events therein.
Adam Curley also did very well in the javelin coming 2nd throw-
ing 29.92m. He participated in the 1500m coming in 7th in a time
of 5.12.94 and was unlucky in the 800m just one place outside All
Ireland qualification in 5th place in a good time of 2.22.37. Shane
Buckley competed in the B/14 Hammer and Discus in his first
Championship and did very well finishing in the first ten. He has
just started in these events and is showing great improvement.
Ross Donovan competed in the 1500m finishing 7th in a time of
5.12.94 and 7th also in the 800m in a time of 2.24.61 in a high cal-
ibre field. This was a great result for Ross who has been experi-
encing injury to his knee for a while. He also competed well in the
200m heat. Cian Greene had an outstanding performance in the
B/15 100m winning the Munster title. Cian is definitely back in
form after a long series of injuries. He won his heat very comfort-
ably in a time of 11.99 with his old rival Darren Lee of Leevale
winning the other heat. Cian ran in superb fashion in the final not
making any mistakes and going over the line to win a time of
11.97 the only competitor under 12 seconds. Cian is looking for-
ward to competing in the All Irelands on the first weekend of July.
Adam McCarthy competed in the B/15 Hammer and Discus.
Adam came 4th in the Hammer and thus qualified for the All
Irelands with his throw of 24.62m. Adam came 7th in the Discus
throwing 20.42. Conditions were very difficult as there were very
strong winds causing the discus to hurl in a backwards fashion
which was a pity.
The Boys U/15 gave us all a thrilling finsih to a long second day
of competition in the 4x100 100m relay. The team included Adam
Curley, Daniel Smiddy, Ross Donovan and Cian Greene. Adam
got off to a great start with Daniel running a great second leg.
Ross had an outstanding rum on the bend passing three competi-
tors and Cian finished in top form passing Nenagh Olympic to win
the Munster gold medals. The lads were thrilled as this was their
first win in the relay at the Munsters. Brilliant stuff!
Munsters - CIT, Cork 19th and 20th June
On the track Fearghal Curtin came 4th in the B/13 600m. He ran
well despite undergoing injuries during the past few weeks. He
was unlucky to be crossed by another athlete on the finishing
100m who caused him to stop and tumble. Fearghal deserves a
long rest to recover and is looking forward to the Cross Country
season. Conor Forde did tremendously well in the B/13 Long
Jump coming 9th with a very good jump of 4.0m. He just missed
out by one place to get into the top eight. Cian O' Brien compet-
ed inthe B/13 Shot coming 9th with a throw of 6.72m. He was 6th
in the High Jump jumping 1.28m which was a good result for
Cian.
We had a couple of lads competing in the B/13 Javelin including
Christopher Coughlan, Cian O' Brien and Fergal Smiddy who all
did very well but were unlucky not to get into the top eight. These
lads have only started this event and all have lots of potential.
Lauren Murphy also competed very well in the G/13 Javelin and
Shot.
Diarmuid Clancy did very well in the B/12 Long Jump getting into
the top eight and finishing in 6th place with his jump of 4.03m.
Sean Broderick and Diarmuid Clancy were outstanding in the
B/12 High Jump in a big field of 21 competitors. Sean won the
Munster title in a convincing fashion clearing 1.34m on his first
attempt and achieving a PB. Diarmuid came 3rd also jumpng very
well. It was fantastic to see the two Youghal AC lads in medal
positons. Diarmuid went straight from the High Jump to compete
inthe 600m final. He came 2nd in the heat on Saturday and the
final was held on Sunday. Diarmuid ran a very clever race which
was run at a very fast pace. He held in with the leading group and
 Youghal Athletic Club
final was held on Sunday. Diarmuid ran a very clever race which
was run at a very fast pace. He held in with the leading group and
went into 2nd place after 200m. Unfortunately he was pipped for
2nd place just before the finishing line. It was a super performance.
Sean Broderick also got into the final 8 in the Shot and finished in
5th place in a very big field of 20 lads.
Faye O' Brien had a great Championship. She came 2nd in theG/16
Javelin with a throw of 23m, 5th in the High Jump jumping 1.35m.
She also competed in the Long Jump. She qualified for the All
Irelands in both the Javelin and High Jump. Lee Curley also won the
B/16 Munster Pole Vault title clearing 1.90m to win the event. This
was also a PB for Lee. Isobel O' Mahoney competed in the G/16
Hammer event straight after her exams on Friday evening in
Midleton and the results are awaited. This event had to be changed
from the CIT as the cage had to be taken down for maintenance.
Trisha Curtin came 2nd in the G/17 Javelin throwing 28.94m. Nikita
competed in the G/19 Pole Vault in her last Juvenile year and win-
ning the Munster title clearing 2.80m. Well done to Nikita who has
still to finish her Leaving Cert exams on Tuesday.

selected to represent Munster schools in the Javelin event in this
interprovincial event in Tullamore next Saturday 26th June.

along ecology areas to the historical town centre. Youghal is also a
perfect base in which to explore the beauty of East Cork and West
Waterford. A large number of internationally acknowledged heritage
sites and conservation areas are visible along these routes. Youghal is
also one of the best preserved examples of a 13th century town in
Europe, and as such has been designated a 'Heritage' Town by Failte
Ireland. It was built as a town to defend and control trade on the
Blackwater River which leads into the heart of Munster's rich farm-
lands.
Youghal's position was critical to the maintenance of that trade, and
access to the most valuable farmland in Ireland. It derives its name
from the Gaelic word 'Eochaill', meaning 'yew wood', pronounced
'Yawl'. You can explore the walls and one of the towers from which it
is possible to make out the original layout of the town. Full details on
the historic buildings in Youghal, such as the Watergate, Myrtle
Grove, Tyntes Castle and St. Mary's Collegiate Church can be found

in the town centre is the fine Clock Tower in the main street, built in

FREE 1776 as a gaol (jail) to imprison the renegade Catholics. It was rou-
tinely used as torture chamber and was universally regarded as a sym-
bol of terror and tyranny!Sir Walter Raleigh is probably the most
famous citizen of Youghal, responsible for bringing two things to

ADMISSION Youghal - potatoes and tobacco, as Youghal was the leading trading
point in Ireland at the time. Another famous resident of Youghal was

Youghal on the N25 towards Cork on the man road for about one
kilometre and then you swing left on the Ballymacoda road - the Phone 024 93069
R633.
You notice a beautiful marshy area on your left - Ballyvergan Bog
-as you turn left on the R633. Just after that left turn there is a
Hide from which you can enjoy the wildlife of this very special
bog which is both sea water and fresh water. Local Ranger Pat
Smiddy has written a beautiful book about the flora and fauna in
Ballyvergan Bog - this contains photographs and detailed knowl-
edge about the Bog and is well worth reading. There are 4 species
of bat.... the book is available locally and is a real treat.
We continue on towards Ballymacoda. You could take a short
detour (500 metres) to the Quality Hotel at Redbarn where a mag-
nificent lounge bar enjoys unrestricted views of Youghal Bay and
Capel Island but we are heading now towards Ladysbridge. You Open 9am til Late

be crossing the N25 again, this time heading for Mogeely, a short
run. Turn right at Mogeely and the road will bring you back to
Killeagh where you rejoin the N25.
It is well worth stopping to visit Killeagh Woods where the colour
which seeps through the trees, glinting on the streams, is haunt-
ingly beautiful, an ancient forest full of surprises and a few well
marked routes. The entrance to Killeagh Woods is behind the Old
Thatch pub - which serves an excellent meal, bowl of soup, cup of
.. or a pint! This is one of the oldest pubs in Ireland and brings
with it a lovely mellow ambience. Killeagh is not a big town - but
just count the number of pubs!
There are a few possible routes back to Youghal - the most
straightforward is the main road the N25 which is a straight run
into Youghal. There is a wide hard shoulder for cyclists. It is a
gentle, downhill road - and if the wind is with you, throw back
your shoulders and sail into Youghal.
