Youghal Toastmasters Club Down Syndrome Ireland Ice Cream

Killeagh Man Wins Sunday Fundraiser at Quality Hotel
Photos Michael Hussey
ON Saturday, 28th April, the Area 3 "Tall Tales" competition was
held at Vienna Woods Hotel in Glanmire. Area 3, which includes
all clubs in east Cork, came together with their respective club
members to contest this highly rated area final.
Youghal Toastmasters Club's representative and champion was
Dominic Tatten who hails from Killeagh. Dominic, a recent and
worthy representative and a very prolific toastmaster and member
of Youghal Toastmasters Club, took the stage by storm and won
this area competition.
Dominic's win is a great milestone for Youghal Toastmasters
Club. He takes his place among the other Youghal Toastmasters
who have made their mark at Area 3 level, Tommy Collins and
Chris Bailey.
Chris Bailey also represented Youghal Toastmasters Club in
Kids enjoying the party with Morgan Furey, Quality Hotel, Fidelma Coleman

Hotel, Waterford, as a test speaker for the Evaluation contest.
Youghal Toastmasters Club is proving itself as a club of win-
ners when one considers that since its beginning in October 2003,
it has produced such a team of excellent public speakers. You too
can achieve and realise your potential as well as having a fun
night, by coming along to one of our meetings.
Next meeting is on Thursday 24th May at 8pm at The Walter

Youghal Tidy Towns Committee

“No Election Posters Call”
AT last month's meeting of Youghal Tidy Towns Committee the
Committee Members agreed to write to all Election Candidates in
the forthcoming General Elections to request that they refrain
from erecting election posters in Youghal Town. The Committee
has noted that regrettably this request has not been acceded to by
any of the political parties as of today's date.
Ned Brennan, Committee Chairman, said that election posters,
despite the candidates’ best efforts, are fragile and will deteriorate Fr. Patrick Relihan, Ger Coleman and
James O'Neill Clare Flavin and Maeve Beecher
and cause litter in wet and windy weather.
He continued that with the start of the Litter League
Competition a few weeks ago it is imperative that the community
maximises its efforts to do our best to win this year's competition.
Youghal has been remarkably successful in the Litter League
Competition in the last few years, outright winners in two of the
last three years, 2004 and 2005.
“The absence of election posters would greatly assist the Tidy
Towns Committee's Campaign,” he commented. “The Tidy Towns
Committee is a voluntary group and totally depends on the good
will, support and co-operation of the complete community,” the
committee continued.
Today, Youghal Tidy Towns Committee again calls on Political
Parties to be responsible and remove their unsightly posters, Birthday boy Sean Coleman with Eamonn Sean Coleman with grandparents

My Fair Lady Celebrate their 4th Birthday
YOUGHAL Musical Society's production of My Fair Lady will on National Alzheimers Day
run from the 21st of May for seven nights in Bun Scoil (still fond-
ly referred to as 'Pres'!) Tickets for this lavish show are now on
sale in Cree's Card Shop at €12 for adults and €7 for the under 12s.
My Fair Lady is directed by the highly respected Terri Byrne
who produces a very successful musical show every year in Cobh.
The Musical Director is Youghal's own very talented Tracey
Symon.
Everyone is familiar with My Fair Lady, made famous by Rex
Harrison and Audrey Hepburn. The musical numbers are all won-
derfully nostalgic, and include 'I could have danced all night',
'Wouldn't it be loverly'. 'I'm getting married in the morning' and
'The street where you live'. Our reporter accepted an invitation to a
rehearsal with alacrity, intrigued to see how Youghal Musical Supporting National Alzheimer's Day: Catherine Foley, Maureen Wilson, Peg
Society could possibly take on such a challenge. We don't need Scanlon, Peg Wickham, Bill Lackey, Aggie Hurton and Mary Josephine Hynes
Rex Harrison. Andy Jackson is the consummate Professor Higgins.
Not only does he bring a wealth of acting experience and a won-
derful singing voice to the part, but he has the stature and authori-
ty to make this very demanding role his own. The part of Eliza is
being played on alternate nights by Ruth Hayes and Caroline
Fraher, already well known performers. They truly shine in this
very difficult role in which Eliza is transformed from a cockney
flower seller to 'a consort for a king.' They bring beauty, charm and
glorious singing voices to the show. If you have a favourite Eliza,
Cree's will be able to tell you on which night each will be perform-
ing.
The lovable Alfred Doolittle is played by Brendan McCarthy,
another seasoned performer with all the wit, humour and excellent
timing needed to carry off this comic part to perfection. We missed
seeing his dance routines, but we are reliably informed that they
will be talked about for many a long day! A newcomer to the Happy Birthday! Colette Foley, Joan Curtin, Peg Wickham, Catherine Foley,

Youghal Musical Society encourages new talent and there are
several new faces in the show. Everyone who turned up for audi-

in the background, are deeply indebted to the local business and
professional communities for their continued support. Musicals
cost a great deal of money to produce and My Fair Lady, with its
lavish costumes and wonderful music, costs more than most.

YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL MAY MEETING
Meeting with Garda Superintendent, Flor Horan and
Sergeant, John Sharkey as requested by members.
Prior to the monthly meeting, Councilors met with local gardai to
discuss ongoing issues of law enforcement in Youghal. Councilors
were invited to put questions to the newly appointed
Superintendent. Cllr. Burke opened the session by raising several
concerns affecting the town. He began by asking if there will be a
garda reserve for Youghal. He coupled this with a query on the
strength of numbers in the current local force and remarked that
there is a 'perception of no cover at night' due to the closure of the
barracks after 10pm. He then cited a number of other issues, which
included, drug use, anti-social behaviour in Green Park, boy-rac-
ers and the possibility of monitoring jet-ski activity during the
summer months. The Superintendent responded to the queries in
turn. He said. "The competition is open for the Garda Reserve.
Applicants from Youghal can serve in their own town but will not
be assigned to their own estates. However, we have no applica-
tions as yet." On the matter of garda numbers operating at night,
he replied. "The numbers have gone up recently with more than
two working at night. Units at night have 4-5. There is also the
traffic core in Midleton."
On the drug problem he asserted. There is a drug squad in
Midleton that can advise and assist. We recently had a seizure of
9,000 ecstasy tablets in Youghal." The Superintendent added that
there has been a 'good few minor detections'. While he stated that
Youghal is 'typical' of other towns for it’s size, he had 'noticed' the
anti-social behaviour since his arrival . He said that Anti-Social
Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) are now in place and complaints made
by the public will be acted on. On the matter of jet-skis the
Superintendent admitted to being unfamiliar with offences in rela-
tion to their use but would investigate the problems. The boy racer
complaints brought no new response and frustration was evident
from both the Superintendent and members of the Council. He
remarked that it is a nationwide problem that brings complaints
from all quarters but that action can only be taken in the event of
a breach in the road traffic act. He said that, oftentimes, complaints
are not followed up by a statement. He added that a 'majority' of
boy racers are 'law abiding' but recognised the concerns of the
public by affirming 'more attention over the summer months',
adding that they (gardai) do breathalyse drivers.
Cllr. Casey informed the Superintendent that jet-ski users regular-
ly flaunt the local bye-laws by breaking the speed limit of 5 knots
within the designated zones of the harbour. He asked if speed
radars could be used to detect offenders. The Superintendent said
he was 'unsure' if the radar would work over water and cited the
difficulty of converting knots into kilometres. Cllr. Casey replied
that this was a 'simple' procedure. The Superintendent was also
informed that the local Gardai are the enforcement agents of the
harbour bye-laws. The Superintendent said the gardai have 'no
equipment at the moment' but agreed to try the radar on a trial.
Cllr. Savage said that 'speeding is a big problem'. He said that
speeding is prevalent in residential areas and expressed his hope
that enforcement would happen in the event of the recommended
speed limit changes being implemented presently. This request
was received positively with an assurance to monitor speeding. It
was also suggested by the Garda that the Council consider ramps.
Cllr. Savage responded by stating that many residents 'do not want
ramps'. The Superintendent added that an 'unmarked van' would
also be used to detect speeding in residential areas. He said the
public would receive prior notification about its use through the
media to encourage them to heed the law.
Cllr. Savage then cited the recent trend of young people congregat-
ing in large numbers. He said it was a 'side-effect' of having one
large school as opposed to three separate social groups as before.
"You now have a mass of up to 100 kids coming together," he said.
With the recent meetings of large sections of the youths in Green
Park the Superintendent was quick to state the consequences for
young people involved in anti-social behaviour. "They (youths)
will get a caution if they are caught drinking. They will be referred
to the Junior Liaison Officer and put on the system straight away.
Youghal News.....May 17th 2007
straight away. We will try to find where they get the alcohol. Older
youths or adults will buy it for them and we will give it attention,"
he said. Cllr. linehan-Foley urged a balanced view of the youth
when she stated. "Most kids aren't doing anything wrong. They are
not trouble makers, they're just hanging out. There is an amount of
drinking but not everyone is doing it," she said. The
Superintendent said the gardai 'fully accept' her point. However,
he also stated that one difference between Youghal and other
towns is the 'wanton damage' perpetrated in the area such as dam-
age to property. Cllr. Linehan-Foley moved the discussion from
youth anti-social behaviour to the adult brand that is currently
afflicting a number of estates. The Superintendent urged resident
associations to make complaints. The Cllr. replied that 'people are
intimidated' and they are 'told to watch their backs if they make a
statement'. She asked if anonymous statements are admissible. She
was informed that information has to be disclosed in court, but
people can ring the Gardai anonymously. The Cllr. remarked that
it is 'sad' for decent people to be afraid of a 'small element'.
Cllr. Murray added that one of those 'element' is from private own-
ership. She said residents 'find themselves helpless'. "It is at the
stage where this individual would be regarded as the neighbour
from hell," she said. She also expressed concern that public knowl-
edge of trouble areas would devalue houses there. The
Superintendent again urged residents to show a united front. The
Cllr. then asked if there would be a 'foot patrol' visible on the
streets. She was informed that there is an application for four more
Sergeants. "We will try to get ones that want to live in town. That
will give them a chance to get to know people," he added. Cllr.
Beecher asked if the station could be 'opened for the summer
months'. He cited the growth in the population, the knock-on
effects of anti-social behaviour and the incidents of people calling
to the station to find it closed. The Superintendent insisted that
prior to the closure at night the statistics showed that the station
received 'very few' calls. He asserted that having the station closed
at night meant an extra garda on the beat.
Cllr. Beecher then asked how many undercover officers are oper-
ating to fight drug crime in Youghal. He was informed that there
are one Sergeant and two officers based in Midleton that assist gar-
dai in Youghal. He said Youghal 'has a number of serious crimi-
nals' that are being monitored. Cllr. Beecher then revisited the jet-
ski problem and asked if the Gardai have an 'aqua-unit'. The
Superintendent replied that there is a sub-aqua unit in Dublin that
assists diving. Cllr. Hennessey reiterated the frustrations the pub-
lic feels about boy-racers and stated that locals have told her that
when they ring the Gardai they don't go to the boy-racers. She also
asked whether it would work if the Gardai called to boy-racers
having obtained registration numbers. The Superintendent
explained that the car owners would only ask what offence they
have committed, or what speed they were going. The Cllr. suggest-
ed that the visit might give the younger drivers 'a fright'. The
Superintendent said they want to make public places as 'unattrac-
tive as possible' to boy-racers. On complaints not being followed
up he said the public should ring the Sergeant the next day and
inform him about it. "If a call is not answered I will follow it up,"
he promised.
Cllr. McLellan cited quad bikes on the beach as a danger to the
public. She also brought up anti-social behaviour stating she had
'calls from three estates' last week and that it is not 'all children'
causing problems. She then asked what drugs are being used in
Youghal. She was informed that the drugs of choice are Cannabis,
Ecstasy and Cocaine. When asked how much cocaine, he replied,
'small amounts'. Cllr. McLellan then asked if heroin is in use the
Superintendent said. "No, there has only been one detection of
heroin in the district so far." Cllr. Revins then asked if the local
force will be added to outside of the extra Sergeants and if the
interview room at the station has been updated to deal wiith drink
driving offences. The Superintendent said extra Gardai will be
drafted in for the summer months and that recording equipment
has been installed in the interview room. He concluded by saying
crime in Youghal is down by 27% in relation to last year's figures.

He declared burglaries are down by 50% but anti-social behaviour
is 'slightly up'. Sergeant Sharkey was invited to contribute to the
discussion by the Mayor. With most of the ground already covered Contact Tony on 086 1708898
he made a brief statement. "Regarding anti-social behaviour, I
don't get a lot of calls. People have no problem ringing Councilors LEE Car & Van Solutions,
but they won't talk to me. People will give some information the Unit 3, Foxhole, Youghal, Co Cork

The discussion ended with the Superintendent expressing his WANTED

amount of enforcement when required.

locals who visit the quayside are asking for more benches. She
conveyed the concerns of residents in the strand area that a derelict

"A taxi pulled up just as I was receiving a complaint about it," she
said. Cllr. Beecher said the information signs at Greencloyne and
Ballyvergan East need immediate replacement. He added that
while the new car park at Blackwater Heights is very welcome, he
bemoaned the decision to lay pebbles in the garden there. "That
was a bad idea," he said. He added that the jail steps is being badly
littered. He asserted a young couple with a family are willing to
have a CCTV camera fixed to their house to record illegal dump-
ing. Cllr. Hennessey asked if a pot hole outside the residence of a
elderly lady at Kennealy's Court can be filled. She was informed
the court is a private residence. Cllr. Casey asked if maintenance

it has not.

Ken Doherty former World Snooker Champion makes a welcome
return to Youghal CYMS. This is Ken Doherty's 4th visit to the
town such is the popularity of the former World Snooker
Champion. Challenging the cream of the society's senior and jun-
ior players Ken as usual entertained the capacity crowd with his
world-class snooker skills on the green baize. This is the 6th con-
secutive year that the society has hosted exhibitions at its land-
mark premises in the centre of town with World Champions like

the lack of jobs in East Cork, says Iremonger
Green Party candidate for Cork East, Sarah Iremonger, said today:
"The lack of jobs in the East Cork constituency, from Youghal to
Cobh, and up to Fermoy and Mitchelstown, is a real threat to the
future prosperity of the region, and is a major issue on the
doorsteps in this election campaign. The Green Party are offering
real solutions to maintain the future prosperity of the region."
Ms Iremonger continued: "The renewable energy sector in Ireland
is only in its infancy, and is lagging badly behind our European
counterparts, in spite of our huge potential in this sector. In ten
years of Government in Germany, the German Green Party helped
create 170,000 jobs in the renewable energy sector there, and the
Irish Green Party in Government would help develop the renew-
able energy sector here, with a large number of jobs created. As
part of this, the Green Party proposes to make East Cork the cen-
tre for the biofuels industry in Ireland, with its abundant fertile
tillage land, its proximity to the only refinery in the country at
Whitegate, the availability of various industrial sites, such as the
former sugar factory at Mallow or the former IFI plant in Cobh.
Only the Green Party have the ability to understand the renewable
energy sector, and its potential to create jobs and prosperity into
the future."
Ms Iremonger concluded: "We should treat this not as waste, but
as a resource to be reused, and instead of exporting it, we should
be using it here to create jobs and wealth. With their central loca-
tions within Munster, towns such as Fermoy and Mitchelstown
should become major centres for the recycling industry in
Ireland."

MOTOR INTO SUMMER 2007

9. Be sure to have some help with navigation unless you know
exactly where you're going, and plan your route in advance.
10. Don't scoff a large meal before setting off, as this can make
you drowsy. And it goes without saying - don't drink alcohol!
PREPARE THE ROUTE
11. Don't put pressure on yourself, allow lots more time than you
think you'll need. The last thing you want is for a minor delay to
cause a stressful and dangerous race against the clock.
12. If you are aware of any traffic blackspots along the way, it's
useful to have a back-up route prepared. There are plenty of online
route finding services to help and give you a realistic idea of your
arrival time.
13. Travel outside busy periods if possible. Sometimes you can
make better time if you can travel during the week or very early in
the morning.
14. The radio is handy for warning about hold-ups. National bul-
letins are sometimes useful but often an obstruction will have
cleared by the time it makes it onto the airwaves. An RDS-
equipped radio can be set to pick up traffic reports from local
radio, so learn how to turn it on by consulting your in-car enter-
tainment manual.
15. Start your holiday early, stop off and visit some towns on the
way there and back with an overnight stop en-route. Who knows,
you might even find somewhere you want to return to next year.
18. Prepare games or amusements for children. I-spy is an old
favourite or spot different kinds of car ('Next one to see a Smart
gets a Smartie'). Use your imagination, remember arguing is part
of the game, but don't distract the driver. Hand-held computer
games are good (if they have headphones attached), but try card
games and books, too.
19. Travel sickness can be a problem. Symptoms can be eased by
keeping the car cool and well ventilated, driving steadily and
keeping the sufferer distracted. Sitting in the front helps some-
times. Avoid too much food and fizzy drink.
20. If you are taking a pet with you don't forget they have special
needs. Make sure they are comfortable, not too hot, sensibly
restrained and that they get an opportunity for a drink and to
'stretch their legs' along with the rest of the family.
TOP TIP
If your car overheats, steam will rise up from under the bonnet.
Pull in to the side and switch off the engine. Give the engine plen-
ty of time to cool (at least 15 minutes) before touching it - other-
wise you risk burns or scalds. Don't pour cold water on it - you
could crack the engine block.

PREPARE YOUR PASSENGERS

16. Talk about the journey before you set off. You know you're all
going to be in the car for a long time, so agree not to argue (or at
least agree to try not to argue) and keep a sense of humour.
17. Take music to listen to. Let everyone have their own choice of
music or radio station for an allotted time.

1. Check whether your car is due a service before you set off.
Ensure the car is properly serviced in line with the manufacturer's
recommendations. If possible, have it done a couple of weeks
before you're due to go, just in case they find a major fault that
needs fixing.
2. If a service isn't due, make sure you check your car over before
setting off. Pay close attention to the condition of hoses, make sure
the coolant level and mixture is correct and ensure that the belts
that drive the alternator and power steering are not loose or
cracked. A couple of euro for some summer coolant or a new rub-
ber belt could save a fortune in breakdown fees. Many dealers
offer free or low-cost summer checks that take minutes to perform
and provide welcome reassurance that you won't splutter to a halt
halfway to the beach. Remember to check the spare tyre too.
3. Check tyres for pressure, tread (don't forget the spare) and for
splits or bulges. Refer to your handbook, too - it's likely that you'll
need to increase tyre pressures if you're carrying a full load.
4. Don't be caught out - carry spare bulbs and a selection of fuses.
It is extremely annoying being stranded for want of the tiny fuse
needed to keep the radiator fan or headlights working.
5. Fill up with petrol, check the oil level and make sure the screen
wash tank is full to cope with all the dust and dirt you'll encounter

BUCKLEY’S
on a long journey. You'll get through screen wash at a prodigious
rate in summer conditions, so it might be worth carrying a spare
bottle. Read instructions carefully to see whether it can be used
neat or needs to be diluted.

CRASH REPAIRS PREPARE THE DRIVER

6. Driving overnight? Be sure you've had sufficient rest. Working
Seafield Business Centre, Youghal all day and trying to drive all night is a recipe for disaster.
7. Travelling a long way? Make sure there's more than one driver.
Tel: 024 91065 Change at least every three hours, two during the night. Don't try
to be a hero and do it all yourself. Plan rest stops ion advance so
everyone can stretch their legs safely
Panel Beating and Spray Painting 8. Stop for refreshments and comfort breaks. Don't eat or drink at
the wheel, but sucking some sugary sweets can give a temporary
Commercial Spray Painting energy boost.

lead by 2 goals with only twelve minutes to go. Unfortunately, we
were reduced to 14 players and Iniscarra drew level, only for us to
lead again with a wonderful point by Brendan Coleman. Luck
deserted us as we conceded a goal and a point at the very end.

Youghal U16 Footballers Victorious
Youghal 2-6 Fr. O’Neills 1-6
Killeagh was the venue for the East Cork U16 A League Football
Final on Thursday May 10th. Youghal had qualified for the final
with good wins over Carrigtwohill, Glanmire, Erins Own and
Killeagh. They also had good wins over Dungarvan and
Abbeyside in challenge games.
A strong wind blew down the field and Youghal decided to play
with it. The Youghal boys dominated the first half and after some
erratic shooting they eventually got their opening score, a point,
after 10 minutes of play. At half time Youghal lead 2-4 to 0-2. The
scoreboard did not reflect their first half dominance and playing
into the strong wind in the second half would test their ambitions
to win this final.
However a very determined second half performance and a great
display from the Youghal defence left Youghal victorious at 2-6 to
Fr. O’Neills 1-6 at the final whistle.
Team captain Brendan Twomey was presented with the trophy
much to the delight of his team mates and supporters. This is a tal-
ented bunch of boys who train very well and are a pleasure to
work with. The following panel of boys deserve congratulations
for their great display on the night: Mark Thuroe, Anthony Mason
(vice-captain) Brendan Twomey (captain), David Ryan, Dylan
Power, Aaron Kenny, Paul O’Sullivan, Bleu Corbell (0-1), Conor
O’Sullivan (0-1), Paul Quill, James O’Mahony (0-1), Michéal
Cronin, Adrian Curtin (0-2), Shane O’Flynn (2-1), David Scanlon,
Victor Cahill, Stephen Cheasty, Kevin Coyne, Tiernan Brennan,
Aaron o’Keeffe, David Cashman, Declan Quinn, Aaron O’Connor
and Ryan Tobin.

Kinsalebeg/VEC Awards Night - National Alzheimers Day

A ‘Clean Success’ at La Bella Roma
MEMBERS of the Kinsalebeg community received the Certificate
in the Primary Course in Food Hygiene from the Environmental
Health Officer's Association on Thursday 3rd May.
Kinsalebeg Community Hall, Piltown, situated in the rural hin-
terland of the Waterford/Cork border, was the venue for both the
course and the Awards Night. The Food Hygiene course ran as part
of a cookery course set up and organised by the Community
Education Facilitator of Co Waterford VEC, Ms Áine Whelan,
with assistance from Ms Joan Curtin from the Kinsalebeg commu-
nity. The course was primarily aimed at the Hall's food catering
team to help them see and understand where problems could arise
in the preparation, handling and service of food.
The overall objective of the Primary Course in Food Hygiene
is to create an awareness and knowledge among food workers of
the reasons for the importance of good food hygiene practices.
With the introduction of new food hygiene legislation the need for Supporting National Alzheimer's Day were standing: Maria Barry, Margaret Carey,
Ann Rae and Marjorie MacDonald. Sitting: Mary Hayes and Loreen Sweeney.
formal training of food workers in good hygiene practices has
been enshrined in law.
Under the direction of specially qualified trainer, Ms Mary
Fennell, the Kinsalebeg group studied the food hygiene law along
with a range of food hygiene topics. These included food contam-
ination, food delivery and storage, food preparation, cooking and
serving, cleaning procedures and personal hygiene, pest control
procedures and hazard analysis critical control points.
Fourteen participants successfully completed the Food
Hygiene course and could not wait to receive their certifcates. To
that end, the group rallied round to host the awards night, drawing
from the skills, talents and qualities of its members and those of
their families and friends to organise a night to remember. Top
class skills in leadership, teamworking, public relations; natural
talents in Irish cuisine, music, song and dance, along with quali- Margaret Walsh and Lily Davis enjoy Tom Carey and Michael Crotty

MEXICO A WONDERFUL
EXPERIENCE
Until the arrival of Ceolta Si in Mexico City for the Ollinkan
International World Cultures Festival here was a huge lack of
knowledge amongst the Mexicans of Ireland and Irish traditional
music. A few had heard of Riverdance but many had not heard the
music. During Daithi Kearney's talk on the history of Irish tradi-
tional music, the greatest reaction came in relation to the diversity
within Irish traditional music and the amazement at the popularity
of Irish traditional music in Ireland.
Between the formal concerts Ceolta Si members took delight in
playing sessions in the Lobby Bar of the Hotel each night, much to
the amazement and enjoyment of the staff and many of the other
visiting international musicians and performers. Some took great Members of Ceolta Sí on recent trip to Mexico City with the Irish Embassador,

with Dylan Mason keeping Youghal in the game. But after the
opening 10mins we got back into the game with Ronan O'Sullivan
at centerback and midfield pairing of Danny Walsh & Colin
Keenaghan leading the way. Then with 5mins to go Aidan O'Neill

CAT COMES TO THE DOGS!
By Christy Parker
Many a man has declared that women have sent him to the dogs.
Now, in Youghal, there is a woman to greet him when he gets
there. Kathleen Lennon became Bord na gCon's only female rac-
ing manager when she assumed the post at the local greyhound
track last month. She is also, at 25, one of Ireland's youngest man-
agers.
Oh, and she's a Cat.
The youngest of three children from Threecastle, Kilkenny,
Kathleen was, so to speak, to the kennels born. "My father Denis
has always kept dogs. I love them and as a child I remember as a
child bringing them swimming in the river with my brother and
sister".
Out of the water, the Lennons' dogs won the Guinness trophy in
Cork as well as other trophies, "but we've had our share of bad
ones too!", says Kathleen. Denis, wife Pauline, a retired school-
teacher Kathleen's brother Tom still cater for over 60 dogs,
through breeding, rearing, racing and retired animals, while her
accountant sister Aileen retains a strong interest.
During her secondary school days at Loreto, Kathleen helped
develop photos in the judge's box at Kilkenny track where, on fin-
ishing school, she then took an administrative post. At 22 howev-
er, itchy young feet saw her leave for a year in Australia with
friends. She spent much of her exile as a traffic controller on a
road & tunnel project in Sydney. "I had a brilliant time", she
enthuses, a-twirling blonde locks while retrieving warm memo-
ries.
Back in Kilkenny in 2005, she successfully answered a recruit-
ment advertisement for assistant manager at Cork's glamorous
Curaheen Park. Resisting all temptations to direct traffic under the
Jack Lynch tunnel, she prevailed and learned alongside former
Youghal manager and legend, Brian Collins -himself not much
more than a sapling. Then came Youghal.
Settling into her top tier appointment, Kathleen describes the sea-
side venue as "a bit like Kilkenny in that its very relaxed and
friendly and more of a grassroots track than Cork. Everyone is
very helpful". Following the doldrums years of the 1980's and
early '90's the efforts of Youghal's owners & patrons have placed
the track on a sound financial footing. Kathleen intends "to con-
tinue to seek more sponsorship and also to encourage more bene-
fit nights" as part of maintaining good economics.
Ably assisted by her equally pedigreed administrator Finola
Power, she is relishing and wise to her challenges. "The racing
side of things is in good fettle but like every rural track, we need
to attract non-doggy people too to generate revenue and sell the
sport. I believe Bord na gCon are drawing up plans to upgrade
amenities here and I very much look forward to that".
Meanwhile an avid hurling fan (what would you expect?!)
Kathleen has just established accommodation in Youghal. By way
of integrating and learning our unique and wonderful ways, she is
tempted to re-awaken a dormant passion for camogie. Welcome to
Co. Cork Kathleen. Can we help you with your hurling?…
