 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL JULY MEETING
By Christy Parker
Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from the
Monthly Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on `8th June
2009.
MILLENNIUM GARDEN PLAYGROUND:
The complete rejuvenation of the Millennium Park Playground is
now 95% complete and will be re-opened to the public later this
month. The works included the complete replacement of all the
play equipment with new more imaginative, and importantly more
robust equipment, and the pouring of new rubberised surfaces in
the playground. The total cost of the entire works is €84,655.11.
As previously informed I have secured Rapid Grant Aid of
€66,000, leaving a shortfall of €18,655.11 which requires funding.
I will be endeavouring to raise these funds over the remainder of
the year by endeavouring to minimise expenditure in certain areas,
while endeavouring to maximise income from all available
sources. The new playground is being examined and certified by
ROSPA this week prior to opening.
NEW FAILTE IRELAND SIGNAGE:
The new tourist signage is starting to be rolled out this week and
will take 4 - 5 weeks to be completed in total. This will also entail
the removal of old signage and the repositioning of other signage
to facilitate prominent positions for the new signage. New inter-
pretative signage will be erected in all the public car parks as part
of the project. Failte Ireland are grant aiding the scheme to the
value of €35,320 plus VAT, while Youghal Town Council are pro-
viding all the labour costs associated with the project. This project
will help to maximise the tourism potential of the historic core
and enhance the visitors experience through the development of a
coherent, consistent and trustworthy set of pedestrian signs which
will ensure the experience of the visitor is pleasant, stimulating
and welcoming, enabling the tourist to explore the town with ease
and comfort.
CLAYCASTLE FOOTPATH:
I gave a commitment to the Council that I would get directly
involved with Cork County Council to complete this project. Both
Paul Murray and myself have worked together to obtain a solution
to the problems at this location which are now currently being
implemented. I have paid the ESB €9,920 plus VAT (€11,259.70)
to erect 7 new public lights on this stretch of footpath. The price
includes the removal of the old existing poles and the under-
grounding of the cables. Kilpatrick Civil Engineering Ltd. have
been appointed to complete the footpath at a total cost of
€16,388.60 (including VAT). The concrete footpath is now almost
close to completion with provision left to take the new lights, we
are still waiting for the ESB who we anticipate will be on site in 4
to 6 weeks to complete the project. Cork County Council have
agreed to pay a contribution of €10,000 to the project reducing the
Town Council's overall cost to €17,647.80. This cost will be met
out of the Non National Road Grant for 2009 which because of its
40% reduction in now completely spent.
GREEN AREA AT DR. KENNEDY PLACE:
The agreed works as per the Councils approved section 183 Notice
and subsequent contracts have now been completed by the land
owner at this location. Council staff will now reinstate the green
area over the next couple of weeks. All the works when complet-
ed will again enhance and improve considerably another area of
the town as part of the Councils ongoing area enhancement pro-
posals.
GENERAL FINANCIAL MATTERS:
As the members are aware the General Purpose Grant Allocation
form the Local Government Fund to Youghal Town Council has
been reduced again by a further 3.22% by the Department of
Environment, Heritage and Local Government. This amounts to a
further cut of €38,698 for 2009 which will now result in our own
budget expenditure cuts of a similar figure. Details of how I pro-
pose to deal with these is contained later in the Agenda. I envisage
commencing the Draft 2010 Budget schedule with a number of
sub committee meetings in early September which will look at the
Page 1
areas of income generation, greater efficiency measures linked
with possible expenditure cuts, maintenance where possible of
quality services delivery, new draft parking bye laws and a num-
ber of new policy proposal documents for public consultation. I
look forward to your views and proposals, which will present
themselves during this process.
Town Foreman's Report:
Town Clerk Liam Ryan explained the procedure to the new coun-
cillors: each councillor in turn relates their list of concerns on mat-
ters within the Town Council jurisdiction. Mr Ryan notes each
item and issues a report on all the issues raised to members with-
in two weeks.
Cllr Linehan Foley said residents at Dermot Hurley Estate were
seeking a disabled parking space near no 17. She said she was
delighted that the Greencloyne playground will shortly re-open
and congratulated the Town Clerk for acquiring funding.
However she was concerned that vandalism would blight the facil-
ity as happened previously and wondered if a FAS worker or
unemployed, or CCTV could be employed as security.
Cllr Linehan Foley also asked for news of the Sarsfields Terrace
car park and said the residents at Seaview have been promised
more parking spaces. A shore in Seaview was also causing serious
flooding in an adjacent house.
Cllr Liam Burke said cars parked at both exits meant vehicles
were having extreme difficulty accessing Friar Street from Porter's
Lane, that grass needs cutting at the Knockaverry steps and tres-
passers are entering private property from the deValera Street car
park. He sought an update on the landscaping proposals for
Sthruhan na Sali.
Cllr Daly said residents in estates opposite Crowley's garage
remain very concerned over parked vehicles obstructing their
views when exiting, though he was advised it is a County Council
issue. He also said Oakhill needed urgent weeding etc and asked
if it was in Council management yet. He was told it remained pri-
vate at present.
Cllr Hennessy listed several items for attention: the overgrowth at
the Jail Steps and the town walls, missing mooring rings on the
quays, extra bins needed at Green Park and a total lack of green
space play area for children at Sweetfield Estate. She asked when
work on the rockery at the top of the Spa/Dermot Hurely estate
would commence, as a serious accident was imminent and
whether, as money for ramps is unavailable could speed signs be
erected at Bayview Grove? The councillor said complaints about
the graveyard's opening and closing times not being displayed are
ongoing, with another lady locked in there recently. She said pot-
holes on the Golf Links Road made it look like it had been
bombed.
Cllr Michael Beecher echoed the Golf Links Road concerns and
said it extended as far as the Holy Family church. He thanked the
Town Clerk and Town Engineer Paul Murray for the new footpath
to the Claycastle, but observed that the pavement outside the
tourist centre and CYMS was very dangerous and the gutters in
same area needed cleaning. The stump of a tree outside the tourist
office needed removing (assuming the Virgin Mary doesn't appear
there first presumably!) He advocated CCTV to address vandalism
issues relevant to the playground and the New Line. He sought a
remedy for a large tree hanging into Moonraker on Cork Hill.
Cllr Murray said a railing at Raheen Park needed repair and
repeated concerns about the access point onto Spa Road from
Dermot Hurley estate. She said the council needed to erect signage
at the graveyard regarding people's responsibilities in such matter
as removing their flowers etc. and also repeated the demand for
opening and closing time signage. Noting that the long evenings
meant people visiting later, she reported that a 70 year-old woman
had to climb a wall to leave the graveyard recently. She also envis-
aged upcoming problems with closing times at the playground.
Cllr Hennessy then expressed concern over some leisure boats
exceeding speed limits in the harbour and was told it was that
complaints should be er, launched with the gardai. Cllr Beecher
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL JULY MEETING
sought clarification as to whether high powered boats can legally
be launched from the Ferry Slip and was told to refer to the bye-
laws. Cllr Murray recalled that former councillor Olly Casey was
recently nearly catapulted into the water by a high-powered boat
being launched for trial from the Ferry Point. She said the sailor
was a stranger and perhaps unaware of the speed limits whereas
locals are particularly observant of the rules and regulations. Mr.
Ryan concluded that enforcement of bye-laws is a Garda matter
and complaints made therein. However, at the behest of Cllr
Beecher, he would convey the council's general concerns to the
station.
Cork County Council Items:
Cllr Murray said she had informed the County Council of how
"extremely dangerous" are the footpaths in Youghal. She had her-
self experienced a fall.
She said Cork County Council had paid €7m in compensation
from such incidents throughout the county over to past few years
and Youghal would be submitting more unless matters improved.
She understood funding was in short supply but that somebody
would be seriously hurt, prioritising was needed and that the situ-
ation could not simply be abandoned.
The councillor said she was aware that landscaping at Sthruhan na
Sali was imminent but pleaded for "one run of the lawnmower" to
cut the grass there meantime. She said the green area in question
was "the most miserable effort" of an amenity she had ever seen
but the residents at least deserved to have the grass cut on it.
Cllr Beecher had sign requirements on his mind. He asked that a
warning sign be erected at Green Hole to indicate a steep drop. He
suggested an information sign be erected at the bottom of Cork
Hill indicating directions for the town centre and the N25. He also
wanted two Fairtrade signs on the N25 and two further ones at the
entrances to Youghal. The councillor also asked for information
signs on the N25 informing motorists that Youghal car parks are
free, along with 1hr free parking from 1-2pm on the Main Street.
Cllr Burke delivered a lengthy list, including a request for infor-
mation on the proposed new fire station, updates on the supposed
work on the sea wall at Moll Goggin's Corner, on the concealed
entrance at Summervale lawn and the unfinished road surfaces in
that area. He voiced concern over ponding at the old monastery
and added that premises on Strand Street had been strewn with
pebbles by passing traffic, due to poor road surface. He conclud-
ed with "the usual list of broken footpaths", i.e. Tallow Street,
South Main Street (between Mall Lane and Water Lane) and the
junction of Strand Street and South Abbey.
Cllr Burke asked Town Engineer Paul Murray if there was any
chance of any of the footpaths being remedied this year. Mr.
Murray said funding was very limited and his priority was the list
of areas suffering from ponding -or flooding to you and I. He
explained that workers are currently tending to the country roads
programme, with staff shortages limiting the number of workers
available in town. Once this programme was complete he would
be "assessing" the various demands regarding the town's footpaths
and he "guaranteed" that sections of repairs would ensue this year.
Cllr Revins reported that the top of Kilcoran Park needed resurfac-
ing and said the Knockaverry estate roads were in a deplorable
state. He said ponding at Nagle House was a disgrace and moreso
as the youth café within had gone to a lot of trouble to paint the
exterior. He said the youth café had acquired funding to establish
the facility and it was unfair they should have to endure this. Cllr
Beecher agreed it was of urgent priority. The Town Clerk interced-
ed to say that "we could all devise a list of 100 things that need
doing but lets put it in perspective. Unless you provide me and the
engineer wit the necessary funding, we can't do the work." He said
Youghal Town Council was "performing miracles" at present and
doing a lot more work than most towns in County Cork, but things
still had to be prioritised form 100 down to 10!
Cllr Linehan Foley said a shore in the middle of the road by JD's,
South Main Street, needed attention. Town Engineer Paul Murray
said it was a loose manhole cover and a specialist needs to resolve
Page 2
it. The councillor referred to Mr. Murray's previous "promises" of
a landscape plan to address the dangerous parking at the entrance
to Quarryvale, on which she had congratulated him following their
visit to the area. She further reminded him that had also accompa-
nied her to see the footpaths at Dr. Kennedy's Place where he had
also promised a solution. Nothing had happened since in either
instance. Mr. Murray asked if he had really made such promises.
"Yes, you did," replied Cllr Linehan Foley, to support from the
chamber. "I'm not rushing you, I'm reminding you," she added
diplomatically. Mr Murray referred to double yellow lines
installed at Quarryvale and said they weren't being observed. "Are
you asking me to legislate for people disobeying?", said the engi-
neer. "Yes," said the councillor "and I'm also asking you to look
after the business (Crowley's) at the other side of the road. We
spoke of flowerbeds and a sufficient gap for people to see the
roadway," she concluded.
Cllr Linehan Foley expressed concerns over drinking and such
practices at the rifle range, Claycastle. She said a person asked a
county council employee emptying bins in the area recently to
warn some individuals regarding their drinking but was told it was
private property. The councillor felt it was a Garda issue but mean-
while rubbish of all sorts was accumulating there. She felt bottles
posed a particular hazard doe to the obvious danger of broken
glass on a beach -litigation claims included. She asked that a let-
ter be sent to the owners of the rifle range and preferably it be flat-
tened. The Town Clerk said it was a matter for Cork County
Council. (Oh dear!) Cllr Murray said one solution might be to
serve a dereliction order, staring with a request to board it up. She
would pursue it at County Council level.
Mayor's Business:
Mayor Sandra McLellan inadvertently sparked a debate and
rethink on the provision of civic receptions when she proposed
such recognition be afforded to former councillor and three times
mayor, Cllr Olly Casey. She said he had given lifetime's service to
the council both as an employee and councillor along with a career
in the fire service. The chamber concurred with Cllr Revin's sug-
gestion that the occasion be a joint reception for Cllr Casey's wife
Anne who also served the council in a caretaking/maintenance
capacity.
At this point Cllr Daly said the message from the doorsteps was
that too much money was being wasted on civic receptions. He
meant this in a general sense and not as a reflection on the entitle-
ment of Mr. and Mrs. Casey. Indeed, the members were shortly to
declare that it was of the utmost importance that the media did not
impart the incorrect impression on the issue!
Cllr Daly's advice was widely recognised in fact, although his sug-
gestion that civic receptions be "knocked on the head" was
deemed a step too far. The Town Clerk saw regulation as the
answer. He believed a civic reception should be only afforded to
people "who have contributed extraordinarily, who have gone
beyond the norm, in service to the town." He felt the thrust of a
civic reception may have been lost and event diminished by a ten-
dency towards proliferation. "It would be no harm to go back to
basic," he suggested. Cllr Daly said he could understand people
like Eddie O'Sullivan and Brendan Cooney being civically hon-
oured for their achievements but that some people were "getting
civic receptions for winning three-legged races!"
Mr. Ryan suggested the council issue a letter of recognition and a
framed certificate in place of many receptions. This was accepted,
with Cllr Revins recalling a similar system operating 20 years ago.
Cllr Beecher mooted names being nominated and culminating in a
joint award night occasion. Cllr Murray said the council chamber
might not be the best forum for nominating civic reception recip-
ients anyway as the press presence can inhibit councillors from not
supporting an individual's nomination.
It was agreed reiterated that Cllr Casey's reception was 'kosher' so
to speak but Cllr Linehan Foley suggested that other former coun-
cillors of long-term service also be invited and presented with cer-
tificates, "so they don't feel left out."
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL JULY MEETING
The Mayor paid tribute to the previous day's St. Raphael's Open
Day and said she was honoured to have opened it. She said had
received other invitations also, including the following Saturday's
triathlon and an art exhibition in the Methodist church on July 31st
to which she encouraged other councillors to attend.
Cllr Burke reminded the chamber that he and Cllr Daly had attend-
ed the inaugural meeting of the Youghal Transition Town
Initiative. He explained briefly that it is a voluntary community
initiative aimed at helping a town towards a low carbon emission
future. It promotes sustainability in issues like food, energy and
transport and Youghal joins such towns as Tralee, Carlow, Galway,
Ennis, Tramore, Carlow, Bandon, Kinsale and Midleton in its ini-
tiative. The local group wished to make a presentation to next
September's meeting, he concluded. Nobody objected, though Mr.
Ryan requested a formal request be issued. If they establish a
properly constituted group, he added, it would help them to apply
for funding at budget time.
Nomination of members to Youghal Tidy Towns Committee
Cllr Michael Beecher will now join three present councillors -
McLellan, Linehan Foley and Murray- on the committee. He will
attend three-monthly meetings that facilitate liaisons between the
Town Council and the Tidy Towns Committee.
Motion by Cllr Murray seconded by Cllr Beecher, "That this
Council write to the Minister for Education outlining the urgent
need for more primary school places for Youghal."
Cllr Murray said all three Youghal primary schools are overcrowd-
ed. She said Bunscoil Mhuire have applied for planning permis-
sion for a three storey extension at the rear and have collected
some funding. Gaelscoil Chorain also has room for extension.
South Abbey however, is in a critical, possibly dangerous, situa-
tion, she explained, given it has no room for expansion. This is a
wonderful school that has been promised government assistance
to the point of having located a new site before being persistently
let down.
Cllr Murray said that on a recent visit she observed the former
badminton balcony was now a classroom struggling to cater for 30
children. "The first thing you detect is body odour because there
is no ventilation," she said. She believed the Department needed
to hear it from the council, as representatives of the people how
chronic the situation is. She reflected that forward planning was
sorely inefficient when school building plans were being formulat-
ed, even in the case of Pobalscoil na Trionoide. Her Motion was
unanimously supported.
Heritage Report July 2009 by Cllr. Liam Burke
The following is a report on activities from April 2009 to date:-
1. Signage
The Failte Ireland funded signage (61 signs) has been delivered
and will be erected as soon as all the ground sockets for the poles
have been put in place. This work has already started and the first
signs will be erected in the next few weeks. At the same time old,
unsightly and redundant signage will be removed.
2. Town Walls
Funding of €178,500 has been received from the Heritage Council
for repairs to the collapsed section of the Town Walls. Expressions
of interest have been received and the tendering process will short-
ly be underway.
3. Trees
Funding of €17,000 has also been approved for shaping, pruning
and wind-sailing of the trees adjacent to and impacting on the
Town Walls. Quotations are currently being sought with a view to
awarding the contract for these works as soon as possible.
4. Graveyard Wall
Repairs to the collapsed section of the St. Mary`s Collegiate
Church Graveyard Wall along its boundary with the College
Gardens will be carried out in the Autumn. A Fás scheme compris-
ing 15 workers has been approved and UCC will be providing
archaeological services.
5. Clock Gate Feasibility Study
The Heritage Council funded Clock Gate Feasibility Study has
Page 3
been circulated to all Council members and will in turn be circu-
lated to all interested parties for public discussion in the next few
weeks. A number of options have been proposed by the consult-
ants KPMG and submissions and comments from the public will
be welcomed.
6. Medieval Day
Funding of €8,000 has been received for the annual Medieval Day
to be held on Sunday afternoon August 23rd. Due to the temporary
unavailability of the College Gardens due to repairs to the Town
Walls and Graveyard Wall this event will be transferred to Green
Park for 2009. This event was estimated by KPMG to have been
worth €480,000 to the local economy in 2008.
Votes of Congratulations:
Cllr Michelle Hennessy congratulated Kathleen Keniry of the
Keniry Irish School of Dancing on her retirement after 50 years of
dancing tuition in Youghal. The councillor said many students had
achieved major successes in Munster and national competitions
and in Riverdance. She asked that the Council consider extending
formal recognition of her services. Cllr Mary Lenihan Foley con-
gratulated all involved in another excellent St. Raphael's open day
on July 12th.
Cllr Eoin Coyne paid tribute to rugby player David O'Callaghan
who represented Ireland in the recent U-21 World Cup. He said he
brought honour to his country, town and UCC. Cllr Barbara
Murray congratulated the organisers of the Youghal sea angling
competition two weeks ago. She said 110 anglers, mostly from
outside town, participated in a very successful event.

 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL
EXTRA
Grants requests:
The issue of council grants and sponsorship was touched upon
under 'Correspondence' at the July meeting of Youghal Town
Council. Cllr Liam Ryan, "without naming names" referred to a
few applications received. In one instance, he said the council
"does not do sponsorship" such as nominal sum contributions, but
allocates funding at the yearly budget meeting in December.
Another applicant had applied for 2009 funding too late and the
application was deferred to the 2010 budget meeting.
Church Street:
The meeting concluded, as usual, under Any Other Business
(AOB). Cllr Revins observed that newly-resurfaced Church Street
"looks fantastic" and complimented the Nook on it’s associated
painting. Town Clerk Liam Ryan said he was optimistic that the
County Council will agree to his proposal that the Town Council
fund 50% of a painting scheme for the old library, which was look-
ing very dilapidated in its replenished surroundings.

 AURA HELPING YOUGHAL CHILDREN DISCOVER
THE GREAT OUTDOORS THIS SUMMER
Youghal children have no excuse not to embrace the outdoors this
summer thanks to Aura Youghal Leisure Centre which is offering
children the opportunity to enjoy outdoor adventures with the
launch of their ‘Fun Multi-Activity Camp’.
‘Children have been cooped up indoors all year and summer is the
ideal time to allow them to adventure outside and to experience all
that the outdoors has to offer. This was very much the thinking
behind our decision to introduce outdoor nature trails and treasure
hunts into our summer camp programme,” explained Aura
Youghal Leisure Centre Operations Manager, Tracy Kenneally.
“We know the challenges that parents face in encouraging children
to put away their Play station and iPods and to enjoy the outdoors.
There is nothing like a walk on the beach and we developed a pro-
gramme which gives children the opportunity to enjoy all the fea-
tures that our coastline has to offer,” explained Tracy.
‘Everyone loves a trip to the beach and we are lucky enough to
have one here on our own doorstep. These camp activities and
excursions provide a great way for children to experience what
outdoor treats are on offer on our own seashore”, added Tracy.
The outdoor nature trails and treasure hunts are just two of the
activities on offer at Aura‘s ‘Fun Multi-Activity Camp’ this sum-
mer. The camp also includes team building activities, outdoor
sports, arts and crafts, swimming, supervised water games and
face painting. A fancy dress party will take place on the last day of
each camp. All of the outdoor camp activities are weather permit-
ting.
The ‘Fun Multi Activity Camp’ takes place from Monday, July
27th to Friday, July 31st and from Tuesday, August 4th to Friday,
August 7th. The camps take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
The July camp costs €80, while the four-day August camp costs
€70. Aura members can avail of a 10% for both camps.
Aura are also reminding parents that they are taking enrolments
for the ‘Intensive Swim Lessons’. These classes are ideal for chil-
dren who have already learned how to swim and want to build on
and improve their swimming strengths.
“Our ‘Intensive Swim Lessons’ are proving to be hugely popular
this summer. The numbers enrolling have exceeded all our expec-
tations. We are finding that many children are finishing up one
week of lessons and parents are then rebooking them in for anoth-
er week of lessons straight away,” explained Tracy.
The week long classes are open to swimmers of all levels and are
ongoing throughout the course for the summer until August 21st.
Classes take place from 9 a.m. to 9.45 a.m. and from 10 a.m. to
10.45 a.m. each day and cost €50 per week with a 10% discount
for Aura members. There are limited places available on the course
so early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
Aura Youghal who were proud co sponsors of this year’s Youghal
Triathlon which took place on Saturday July 18th, would like to
congratulate all who took part and extend their thanks to the com-
mittee who did a great job in organising the event.
Further information about each of the summer camps taking place
or the ‘Intensive Swim Lessons’ is available by contacting recep-
tion at 024 91614.

Nellie Morrissey (Shanakill, Aglish)
1912 - 2009
On March 19th, peacefully, in the exceptional care of the Sacred
Heart Unit, St. Joseph's Hospital, Dungarvan, Nellie Morrissey
went to her eternal reward, surrounded by her loving family.
Nellie had enjoyed a wonderful long life, and had great health up
to the beginning of this year.
Nellie was born on the 9th January, 1912. She saw hard times, and
would often recall events in the past, and share the stories with her
family. She worked hard, with no task being too difficult to fin-
ish. She had a great love of gardening, and spent many hours
tending to her plants in the garden at home in Shanakill. She also
had a great love of Sport, and watched all the games on the televi-
sion. She had a special love for hurling, and watched the
Waterford team with pride during all their games. Nellie's great
love in life was her game of cards on a Wednesday night in Aglish.
Even if she wasn't feeling well, she would do her best to ensure
that she got the game of 45 every week. Nellie loved her family,
and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren and great-chil-
dren whom she loved so much. There was always a special place
for Nellie at the family gatherings.
Nellie's remains were removed from Egan's funeral home,
Youghal on Friday 20th March to the Church of the Assumption
Aglish, where they were received by family friend, Fr. Billy
Meehan and Bishop William Lee. Also in attendance were Fr.
Liam Power and Fr. Willie Ryan.
Concelebrated mass was held on Saturday 21st March, the main
celebrant being Fr. Billy Meehan. He was joined by Fr. Finbarr
Lucey, Fr. Mossie O'Gorman, Fr. Conor Kelly, Fr. Gerry
O'Connor, and Fr. Pat Fitzgerald. Symbols representing Nellie's
life were brought forward by her great-children at the beginning of
the Liturgy. Lessons were read by her grandson's Ollie and Mike.
In a beautiful homily, Fr. Billy Meehan recalled the many events
of Nellie's life. Offertory gifts of bread and wine were brought
forward to the Altar by her niece Ann and friend Sheila. A com-
munion reflection was read by her nephew, Bud. Beautiful music
was provided by Bernadette Buckley at the removal, and by
Geraldine Landers and Mary Pedder-Daly at the requiem Mass.
Nellie was laid to rest in the adjoining cemetery. She will be sadly
missed by her daughter Margaret (Dee), son-in-law Tossie, grand-
children Mary, Christine, Janice, Michael, Paula and Ollie, her
niece, nephew, wonderful neighbours, relatives and many friends.
Months mind mass will be on Friday 17th April at 7.30pm in
Aglish Church.
One can only thank God for the wonderful long life of Nellie.

In loving memory of Gracie Cunningham 1919-2009
Gracie Cunningham [nee Hogan] was born in December 1919 -
you can imagine the hardship back then, no heating, no running
water, and no cars yet she went on to live for 89 years.
Gracie was one of five children, Johnnie, Jamie, Mary and
Michael and was the last surviving member of her family. She was
predeceased by her brother Michael who died in infancy. The
death of her brother Jamie who died at just 21years age really
broke Gracie's heart, as they were so close. Her sister Mary died
at the age of 48 and Johnnie died fifteen years ago.
Like most of her generation in the late 30's early 40's Gracie had
to immigrate to England find work, there she spent six years work-
ing there in the Royal Northern Hospital. She really loved her time
there and would often recall some wonderful stories from those
years spent there. Following the unexpected death of her mother,
Gracie returned home to Ardsallagh to take care of her father. On
her return she met and married her beloved Paddy - they were a
very enterprising couple and together with their children Tom and
Nell they developed a very progressive dairy herd on the family
farm in Ballyheeney. Sadly Paddy's unexpected death in 1973 left
Gracie alone to run a farm and care for two young children - she
worked extremely hard and even though she retired from farming
many years ago she never lost interest - just days prior to her death
she asked Kay Ledingham how many cows they were milking this
year.
A wonderful neighbour and friend, she always had time to sit and
chat with people - time was never an issue she had great neigh-
bours and friends - Molly, Madge Dee, Madge Curran, to name but
a few, in good times and bad they shared everything and they
always looked on the bright side of things.
Her infectious laugh and captivating smile endeared her to every-
one She loved a good laugh- and Clashmore was not a safe place
to be on Fools day. Gracie, Molly Lombard and Madge Curran
could spend all day fooling people - innocent times!
Gracie was a lady of remarkable faith it was this great faith, which
got her through her many trials, and hardships, which she encoun-
tered throughout her life.
For the last three years of her life Gracie resided at Padre Pio
Nursing Home in Cappoquin where she was lovingly cared for by
the Mary, Geraldine, Margaret and staff. She died peacefully there
on Saturday afternoon June 13th reposing at the home on Saturday
night and Sunday morning - prayers were offered for the happy
repose of her soul by family, residents and staff. Reposing at
Egan's funeral home on Sunday evening rosary was celebrated for
Gracie and her removal took place to Clashmore Church on
Monday evening. On Tuesday Very Rev Fr Maurice O Gorman
assisted by Fr Patrick Relihan celebrated requiem mass for Gracie,
daughter in law Bridget and friend Ber Kelly shared the readings.
Her grandchildren Louise, Patrick, Nicola, Elaine, Mark, Clare
and Edel her god child Teresa O Connell and Kay Ledingham
read prayers of the faithful, her son and daughter Tom and Nell
brought the gifts to the alter and Mary Dee provided the music.
Following requiem mass Gracie was laid to rest beside her
beloved Paddy in the adjoining cemetery. We pray she is now
enjoying her eternal reward with Paddy and all her family and
friends in heaven.
To her son Tom daughter Nell daughter in law Bridget son in law
T.O. Murphy her grandchildren Louise, Nicola, Elaine, Edel and
Therese Murphy, Patrick Mark and Clare Cunningham all her rel-
atives and dear friends we extend deepest and heart felt sympathy
on the loss of this lovely lady.

Sunday. Although we had good scores and pulled away in the last
few minutes of this game it was a very close match throughout,
and the final score did not reflect the game itself.

which is a great achievement. This is fixed for July 25th, against
Mount Sion. Full details next week.
Waterford Minors. Congratulations to The Waterford Minors for
a great display in Thurles on Sunday last. Great to see one of our
own grace the field with his team mates to bring home the cup to
Waterford. Well done Brian
U-16 Hurling. The semi final was played last Saturday in
Kilmacthomas in what could only be described as atrocious con-
ditions. It was a very sporting game and could have gone either
way, but our lads were lucky to have two points to spare at the
final whistle.

It was a proud moment for the red and green when one of our up
coming young sportsmen Brain O Halloran downed the number 11
jersey with Waterford at Semple Stadium last Sunday. Brian's two

teams over all victory against Tipperary in the Munster Minor

 275 TO WALK FOR CAN-
CER RESEARCH
HUGE INTEREST FOR KERRY WAY CANCER
RESEARCH WALK: 24TH – 26TH JULY 2009
July 2008: Nearly 300 people have registered to walk The Kerry
Way Cancer Research Walk, which takes place from Friday, 24th
July to Sunday, 26th July 2009.
Friday, 24th July Moll’s Gap to Kenmare 17km

Saturday, 25th July Lauragh to Kenmare 25km
8am start
Sunday, 26th July Killarney (Torc) to Kenmare 21km
9.00am start
“Cancer affects so many people, through their own journey or
through someone they know. Taking on cancer is a daunting chal-
lenge which requires focus and determination, elements which are
also needed for facing other challenges in life such as climbing
Mount Everest. However the greatest challenges cannot be
achieved alone - it is the team supporting you that will help you
get through. Just like our team for Mount Everest, the Cork
Cancer Research Centre provides focus and determination to the
challenge of bringing new treatments to cancer patients. I’m
delighted to be involved in this event and to lend my name and
support as part of the fundraising efforts for cancer research, and
to help combat cancer” commented Pat Falvey, who will be
launching the event at Moll’s Gap on Friday, 24th July.
Whilst Kerry is renowned for having the highest mountains in
Ireland, the Kerry Way and Beara Way trails avoids the higher
peaks and opts for lower reaches of the mountain ridges.
Impressive mountain views, dramatic peaks and glens, wild moor-
lands, wooded paths and wide coastal panoramas await those who
wish to walk part, or all, of the 63km walk.
“The Kerry Way Cancer Research Walk is an extremely scenic
walk and this event is a great opportunity to raise funds for cancer
research as well as to meet new people, have fun and keep fit.
When we first came up with the concept for this event, I never
imagined the Walk could raise as much as €25,000 in its inaugural
year. Last year’s event was a tremendous success with over
€119,000 raised for cancer research. I was completely shocked but
truly delighted with the outcome. People have been so generous
to date and our goal is to raise the same level funds of this year, if
not more.” Damian O’Brien, Walk Co-ordinator.

JULY MEETING REFLECTS
POSITIVELY ON COMMUNITY
ALERT INITIATIVE
By Christy Parker
A sizeable gathering was present again at the July meeting of the
Youghal and District Community Alert meeting, according to
Secretary Pa Forest. Mayor Sandra McLellan and Cllrs Michale
Beecher (Treasurer) and Cllr Michelle Hennessy attended. The
monthly meetings have been steadily growing in stature and the
interaction, between the Garda representatives and the general
public is much appreciated by both sides.
Sergeant Paul Kenny deputised for PRO Sergeant John Sharkey
and issued a report on crime-related incidents in the town over the
previous week. These included an increase in shoplifting incidents
and criminal damage to cars in the Raheen Park area. Sergeant
Kenny again stressed the importance of the public contacting the
gardai immediately they witness an illegal incident or behaviour
likely to lead to one.
The issue of 'boy racers' was again prominent and is evidently the
ongoing source of many complaints to the gardai. Sergeant Kenny
said a law that denies the issuing of penalty points to drivers under
18 compromises prosecutions. It was also related that proving
incidents of illegal decibel levels and even the level of tints on
windows is also a challenging process when it reaches court. On
the other hand, the gardai are now tendering for the relevant mon-
itoring equipment to acquire strong court evidence in future. In
national terms, given the reported determination by the gardai to
meet the challenges head on, (pardon the unfortunate pun!) the
noisy day of boy racers may be drawing towards imminent close.
Quad bikes at Pilmore and Redbarn were also aired in grievance.
These new nuisances are apparently frightening beach goers. The
meeting heard that they are also in breach of a bye-law and open
to prosecution if causing inconvenience. Moreso, they are pow-
ered vehicles and therefore require licence and insurance. A
stronger garda enforcement of the law is anticipated.
The meeting was told that inaugural church gate collections
amassed €827. Chairman Mossy Lynch thanked the collectors and
all who contributed.
The next meeting is on Tuesday September 1st at the Walter
Raleigh at 8pm.

Parents should be alert to the fact that while on holiday abroad the
safety standards at beaches and in pools may not necessarily be the
same as in Ireland. Similarly when participating in aquatic activ-

rule is: if in doubt - stay out!
The public should take responsibility to avoid becoming a drown-

keep them safe:

Be particularly careful of young children wandering off.
Constantly supervise children/baby pools that may be next to the

INTERMEDIATE HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP
YOUGHAL 1-13 V DOUGLAS 4-12
The much antisipated replay took place in Lisgoold on Tuesday
7th of July. Douglas started very brightly scoring in the first
minute. The first half saw Youghal self destruct as they leaked 3
soft goals on 5, 14 and 28 minutes to effectively end the tie as a
contest. Douglas led at the break by 3-5 tom 0-4 without dominat-
ing but found scores easier to come by than Youghal who lacked
the presence of a scoring forward. Youghal to their credit fought
hard in the second half and managed to reduce the defecit to just
5 points at one stage. Bill Cooper was superb at centre forward but
again the lack of fire power up front saw Douglas home on a
scoreline of 4-12 to 1-13.

MINOR HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP YOUGHAL 3-8 V
RUSSELL ROVERS 1-8
An early goal from James O'Mahony settled Youghal down but
they conceded a soft goal midway through the first half to leave
the visitors leading by 1-5 to 1-4 at the break. Great work from
Andrew Curtin who was a thorn in Rovers side all evening saw
Victor Cahill hit the back of the net and this was followed by a
superb goal by James O'Mahony who ran straight through the
defence and drove the ball past the Rovers Keeper. Connections
were pleased with the result but know there is improvement need-
ed to have a chance of securing the Championship. Next up is Lotto presentation to Phil Cullinanne who was receiving the cheque for 3,500 euro

Nikita Savage to represent

Ireland at the Celtic
International in Wales
Nikita Savage will once again wear the
Irish Singlet as she competes for Ireland
in the Celtic International in Camarthen in
Wales on Saturday August 1st. Nikita
was selected to represent Ireland follow-
ing her outstanding performance in the
All Ireland U18 Pole Vault
Championships held in Tullamore Co. Nikita Savage and Eimear Kelly winners in Pole Vault.
Offaly on Saturday July 11th. Nikita won
the U18 title with a new championship
best performance of 3.20 metres, beating
the old mark by 20 centimetres. She
opened the competition with a first time
clearance of 2.80 metres and she then
equalled the record with her next jump of 3.00 metres. She set the
new record of 3,20 with a first time clearance and she was very
unlucky at 3.40 metres when she came so close on her third
attempt but alas it was not to be on this occasion. This was just
another outstanding performance by Nikita as she has dominated
the juvenile Pole vault scene this season. Nikita has been ranked
third in the senior Women's Pole Vault ranking this year both in the
Indoor and Outdoor lists. She has also made it onto the Senior
Women's All Time Best list for Pole Vault in 5th place which for Adam McCarthy, Cian Greene and Daniell Smiddy in Tullamore
some one so young is a major achievement.
Nikita will compete in the Celtics for the second year in a row as
she was also part of the Irish team that travelled to Scotland last
year and she will be hoping to improve on her third place finish.
This will be Nikita's second trip to Wales this season as she com-
peted for Ireland in the Celtic cup U20 indoors in Cardiff last
February.

Munster Track and Field Championships
The Munster Track and Field Championships for the U/14 to U/19
age group were held in Waterford on the 20th and 21st June.
Youghal AC had eleven athletes participating. It was extremely
warm especially on Saturday for those competing on this day.
Boys U/14 The club had five boys competing in this age group
with two of them competing in the Munsters for their first time.
Cian Greene won his heat in the 80m sprint and was pipped in the
final missing out on the bronze medal just before the finish line.
He got to the final of the 200m and he ran a brilliant race to finish
in 2nd place in a time of 26.98 beating Darren Lee of Leevale. Cian
qualified in both events for the All Irelands. Adam Malone ran in
the 1500m and finished in a very good 9th position in a big field in
very hot conditions. Adam McCarthy competed in the Javelin,
Shot, Hammer and Discus; he did very well in the Discus finishing
in 4th place with a throw of 22.64m and qualifying for his first All
Ireland. He came 6th in the Hammer 24.15m. Adam had only
been training for a few weeks so this a great achievement for him.
Ross Donovan had a super run in the 800m; he stuck with the lead-
ing pack which included Dylan Sheehan of Dooneen previous win-
ner on so many occasions. He was in third position for most of the
race and was pipped of third placing in the last few metres.
Nevertheless Ross qualified for the All Irelands which was also a
first time for him! His time was 2.22.60. Daniel Smiddy had a
great day at the Long Jump going into the top eight in fifth place
and finishing in 3rd place with a PB of 4.71m winning the bronze
medal and qualifying for the All Irelands. The relay team which
included Adam Malone, Cian Greene, Ross Donovan and Daniel
Smiddy (Sub- Corey Broderick) had a great run in the relay com-
ing in a very good 3rd position winning bronze Munster medals.
Boys U/15 Lee Curley and Gavin Curley both competed in the
Javelin and High Jump. They both jumped very well and were
very unlucky not to be in a medal position but the standard was
extremely high. Lee jumped 1.25m and Gavin jumped 1.20m. Lee
had already won the Pole Vault event in Cork thus qualifying for
the All Irelands for his first time.
Girls U/15 Isabel O' Mahoney competed in the Shot, Discus and
Hammer events. Isabel came 4th in the Shot 10.15m and 4th in the
Hammer 27.08 being only narrowly beaten in both but neverthe-
less she qualified for the All Irelands in two events which is a good
achievement where the standards are very high this year. Isabel
came 5th in the Discus. Lauren McCarthy competed in her first
Munsters and did very well in the 100m, High Jump and Javelin.
Girls U/16 Patricia Curtin competed in the Javelin, Shot and Long
Jump. She came 2nd in the Javelin with her throw of 28.50m and
7th in the Shot 7.27m. She also got a PB of 4.29 in the Long Jump.
Girls U/18 Nikita Savage competed in the 100m, 300m Hurdles,
300m, Javelin and Long Jump. She came 4th in the 100m final in
a time of 13.77, 5th in the 300m Hurdles, 3rd in the 300m in a time
of 44.41 and 4th in the Javelin 24.62m. Nikita previously won the
Munster Pole Vault and Eimear Kelly came 2nd in this event.
Nikita qualified for 5 events in the All Irelands which was a mag-
nificent achievement.
Munster Multi-Events Conor Forde was our only athlete to com-
pete at this event held in Cork CIT on Sunday 5th July. Conor did
extremely well in all the events which included Long Jump where
he got a PB of 3.72m, Shot 5.72m, 600m (124.59) and High Jump
(1.05m). Conor finished in sixth position overall in the B/12
which was an excellent achievement!
ALL IRELAND TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS -
TULLAMORE, 11TH, 12TH AND 20TH JULY 2009
Youghal AC had 14 athletes who qualified to compete in the All
Irelands; this was an outstanding achievement for the club and is
the biggest number in Track and Field for some time! The athletes
qualified in many disciplines including Javelin, Shot, Discus, Pole
Vault, Hammer, 80M, 100M, 200M, 600M, 800M and the Long
Jump.
Field Events - Pole Vault -G/18 Nikita Savage won the All
Ireland title and also set a new National Record of 3.20m for this
age group. Well done Nikita! Eimear Kelly came 2nd with her
jump of 2.10m.
Pole Vault - B/15 Lee Curley won the All Ireland title with his
jump of 2.20m beating M. Grimes of St Brendans.
Shot and Hammer - G/15 Isabel O' Mahoney got into the top
eight and finished in 7th place with her throw of 9.54m. She came
9th in the Hammer competition. Isabel has been very unlucky this
season but no doubt we will see her back in the top positions next
season.
Discus - B/14 Adam McCarthy finished in 7th place with his throw
of 21.78m. This was hid first All Irelands and he has done very
well in a short space of time.
Long Jump - B/14 Daniel Smiddy got into the top eight and fin-
ished in 7th place with his jump of 4.70m. There was very little in
the difference between the silver medalist and Daniel's position.
Daniel had a back injury which prevented him from jumping to his
full potential on the day but was delighted to be in the top eight at
this level.
Long Jump - G/18 Nikita Savage finished in 9th position.
Javelin -B/13 Adam Curley competed in the B/13 Javelin and fin-
ished in 13th position with his throw of 16.28m. The standard was
extremely high with the top 8 throwers exceeding 20 metres.
Javelin - G/13 We had two girls competing in this age group
Heather Curley and Lauren O' Mahoney. Heather came 4th
(19.44m) and Lauren came 7th (17.62m). It was a great achieve-
ment for both girls to get to the top eight in their first All Irelands!
Javelin - G/16 Patricia Curtin came third in this event achieving a
PB in competition with her throw of 32.10m. She has shown
tremendous improvement in recent weeks.
Track Events 600m - G/12
Jennifer Hennessy competed in the G/12 600m having come 2nd
in the Munsters. They had to run in lanes for 100m two per lane
because of very wet conditions. Jennifer ran a brilliant race in a
very fast time of 1.49.49 which was a big improvement on her time
in the Munsters. She finished in 4th place in a very fast and com-
petitive field. She was so unlucky not to be in the medals!
600m - B/12 Fearghal Curtin competed in this event having won
the Munsters. Fearghal went into an early lead straight after com-
ing out of the lanes which probably cost him in the last few metres
of the race when Tadhg Brennan of Ferrybank literally caught
Fearghal in the last stride winning by a fraction of a second.
Nevertheless Fearghal won his first All Ireland silver Track and
Field medal!
800m - B/14 Ross Donovan had to run in a heat and did very well
to qualify for the final; there was a quality field and he was delight-
ed to get to the final. Ross ran a very strategic race and kept in
touch with the main field enabling him to finish in a really good
6th position in a time of 2.24.63. This was also an outstanding
achievement for this lad in his first All Irelands!
80m - G/12 Rachel Dunne competed in the heat and narrowly
missed out on qualification for the final by one place. Rachel has
done very well this year winning a Munster bronze sprint medal!
80m - B/14 Cian Greene won his heat in a time of 10.34. There
were lots of breaks in the starts of the final and Cian got off to a
bad start. He was again pipped on the line missing out on the
bronze medal. Cian came 2nd in the 200m heat on the 20th but had
to withdraw from the final as he injured his ankle.
300m - G/18 Nikita Savage ran well in her heat and finished in 7th
place in the final in a time of 45.32.
We are taking a break from training for a few weeks ands will be
recommencing mid August for the Cross-Country season and also
for any athletes who are interested in taking part in the Munster
Bs Track and Field in Ennis on the 3oth August next. Well done to
all our athletes who did so well on qualifying to compete in the All
Irelands many of whom came through large fields to get to this
level. Obviously well done to all those who assisted in the
caoching and to a great bunch of parents for bringing their kids to
training and for travellin to Tullamore. No doubt we will be hear-
ing more of these athletes in the near future!

 Two one act pieces for
Bru na Si, Youghal on the
11th and 12th of August.
The first is the well known and much loved ‘First Confession’ by
Cork man, the late Frank O’ Connor .First Confession will be
recited by Cork actor Mark O Shaughnessy. Mark has been a reg-
ular on the Cork stage for over 25 years and he recently complet-
ed his second run of the hit musical ‘Michael Collins’ in The Cork
Opera House and The Olympia Theatre Dublin.
The second piece is the Irish Premiere of ‘Still Life’, written by
Danusia Iwaszko and performed by well known Youghal per-
former Ruth Hayes. The story is an intimate portrayal of a
woman’s journey through the breakup of her marriage to finding
her independence and discovering who she truly is. Standing
alone, on stage, she talks to the audience in a manner that will
have you believing that you are the only one there! Her mysteri-
ous circumstances render her completely immobile! An ambigu-
ous ending is sure to have the audience pondering about what has
become of her fate. Has she died? Has she been reborn? Is she a
statue? These are some of the possible outcomes which audiences
have delighted in pondering after successful performances around
the world. This one act performance will take the audience
through the emotional and sensory journey through the eyes of a
woman with who many can relate.
“Still Life” was the winner of London’s One Person Play Festival
and has been staged in London, Edinburgh and Sydney. It was
inspired by seeing a statue on Brixton mainline station of a woman
holding a shopping bag. It was also staged with its companion
piece “Perpetual Motion” (about a modern day Sisyphus) at the
Etcetera Theatre Camden.This not to be missed production of Still
life and First Confession will be staged in Bru na Si, Youghal.
Tickets are €8 and will be available on the door and box office to
be announced shortly. Refreshment will be served at the interval.
Claycastle Pitch & Putt
This weekend sees one of the highlights of the pitch and putt cal-
endar the “Gents National Strokeplay” played in Tralee. Claycastle
will be represented by three players over the weekend in what will
be a fiercely contested tournament.
In the intermediate section on Saturday the father and son act of
Don and Colin Sheehan will compete. This will be Don’s second
appearance at the National following his excellent display in
Tullamore last year where he qualified for the final 18.Don is
paired with fellow Corkman Liam Myers of St. Annes and will tee-
off at 11.28. Colin will start as one of the favourites in what will
be his final game as an intermediate as he joins the senior ranks
after the tournament. Having done well at the tough Tralee course
in 2008 where he reached the semi finals of the munster juniors
matchplay Colin will be hoping to get in amongst the leaders head-
ing into the final 18 and after being drawn to play alongside local
player Martin Hobbert Colin will be able to keep a close eye on
one of the main contenders.
On Sunday the seniors will take centre stage with Anthony O’
Loughlin taking his place among the best players in the country.
Anthony will play alongside 2003 champion and Irish internation-
al William Buckley jnr of Erry in what is a terrific draw.
You can keep track of the lads progress over the weekend on the
PPUI website at “ppui.ie” and for the behind the scenes info go to
“pitchandputtforum.com”. Lets hope the lads keep up their recent
good form and enjoy their game, who knows come Sunday

KILLEAGH GAA
On Wednesday night our senior hurlers travelled to Bishopstown.
Despite being down on numbers we hurled well to come away
with another 2 points putting us top of the league table. Final score
Killeagh 3-14 to Bishopstown 1-17.
Junior B hurling championship replay - A disappointing evening
in Ahavine on Sunday evening as we lost out to Youghal despite
being a point up at half time. Youghal were the stronger in the sec-
ond half and won the game out by 6 points in the end. Final score
Youghal 1-17 Killeagh 1-11.
Minor Premier A Hurling - A thrilling game was had in
Castlemartyr on Friday night. For 40 mins of the game there was
never much between both sides. O'Neill's hit a purple patch to tack
on 7 points with 10 mins to go but 2 goals and a point put the game
to extra time and that didnt even break the deadlock. These teams
wil hav to do it all over again.
Fixtures: There are no fixtures for the coming week.
Lotto numbers were 18,26,30. There was no winner. The jackpot
now stands at €2,400.On Sunday evening last we hosted the
Midleton v Castlemartyr Junior A Hurling game, all those who
helped at the gate and with parking many thanks.
INCH ROVERS
LADIES FOOTBALL
On Sunday evening Inch Rovers began the defence of their
County title against a much fancied and new look Liscarrol side in
Mourneabbey. Playing against a strong breeze the opening
exchanges made it look as if this game was going to go to the wire.
Mary O'Connor and Amy O'Shea opened our account with a goal
and a point before Liscarrol replied with the same. As the opening
half wore on, Inch settled and found their range and the scores
came a little easier. The score at half time stood at 2-11 to 1-5 in
Inch's favour. That was mainly due to a very tight defensive unit
who worked tirelessly to repel any Liscarrol attack. With the win
now at our backs it seemed to be all one way traffic which saw us
notch up some great individual scores and prove that we are strong
contenders for this years championship. We are not out again until
the first weekend of August although we have a senior league final
to fulfil in between against Donoughmore. Well done to all con-
cerned.
Fixtures - Our second junior team will be in championship action
on Thursday night against Macroom in Macroom at 8pm.

No words can say, how I feel today, Or feel in my heart
since you went away, I hide my tears, when I speak your name,
But the pain in my heart remains the same.
I miss you when I need a friend, Always on you I could depend,
I speak your name with tears unseen, Wishing your absence was
only a dream. I miss you from the house, I miss you from the chair,
And it’s worse on special occasions, When I know you won’t be there.
No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why

Death is nothing at all I have only slipped into the next room.
I am I, and you are you; Whatever we were to each other, we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name; Speak to me in the easy way you always used.
Put no difference into your tone; Wear no air of solemnity or sorrow;
Laugh as we always laughed. at the little jokes we enjoyed together;
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be
ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect;
Without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all that it every meant.
It is the same as it ever was. There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
What is this death but negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because
I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you,
For an interval, somewhere, very near just around the corner. All is well.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there,
I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush of beautiful birds in circling flight.
I am the starshine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room. I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there - I do not die.

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold
me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me, you understand. It will be late to counsel
then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while
and afterwards remember, do not grieve. For if the darkness and
corruption leave, A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad
Love always your grandchildren Noel, Danni, Matthew,

TOWN CLERK ORCHES-
TRATES €38,00 SAVINGS BUT
WARNS OF HARD TIMES
AHEAD
By Christy Parker
Youghal Town Council's July meeting sanctioned proposed sav-
ings by Town Clerk Liam Ryan of €38,689 through amendments
to the 2009 Budget. The savings were necessary to meet the
Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government's
3.22% cut in funding to local authorities. Further Exchequer cut-
backs to be addressed in the coming months involve un-quantified
funding reductions in lieu of charges on private second homes and
deductions through the Pension Levy.
The Town Clerk acquired the necessary €38,689 through the fol-
lowing expenditure cuts:
i) Non-payment of the €12,000 Harbour Board Grant fee, while
retaining €5,000 for day-to-day expenditure. As the Council is
now itself the Harbour Authority, the grant is unnecessary.
Saving: €7,000
ii)Inducing Cork County Council to fund 10% of the litter
warden's wages in return for transferring 10% of his duty to
County areas, such as the New Line, etc. Saving: €2,689
iii) No further purchase of litterbins. Saving: €2,000
iv) Renegotiation of council phone package. (The council operates
landline, ISDN lines and mobile phones, apparently). Saving:
€3,000
v)Deletion of provision for future motor fleet replacement.
Saving: €4,000
vi)Reduction in quantity of civic receptions. Saving: €3,000
vii) Deletion of provision for lawn mower replacement:
Saving: €5,000
viii) Energy savings across spectrum of service provision.
Saving €2,000
Total saving on expenditure: €28,689.
Additionally, increase in incomes were as follows:
i) New valuations on new businesses, with immediate effect.
Increased income: €3,000
ii) Increase in number of council rented properties form 319 to
322. Increased income: €7,000
Total Increased Income: €10,000 + Expenditure
Savings = €38,689
Mr Ryan said the upcoming un-quantified funding reductions in
lieu of charges on private second homes amounted to an uncertain
and unsatisfactory situation. Basically he said, the Exchequer will
reduce its funding by an unknown amount next autumn, while
imposing on local council's to recoup the money through taxes on
second homes. He said not knowing the extent of the reduction is
bad enough but the government has not given instruction on decid-
ing how many second homes are in the jurisdiction, who owns
them, or how to collect the money! In respect of the Pension Levy,
he cautiously expected the result would be cost neutral.
Mr. Ryan warned the councillors that the Council had presently
coped despite staff reductions from 20 to 15 and was voted 3rd
cleanest town nationally by IBAL. He said the revenue budget
remained at €4m but warned that the capital budget had fallen
from €6m to €1.5m. He said, "Keeping the town clean and main-
taining 322 council houses with reduced resources is very, very
difficult but we are managing." He then issued a stark warning that
while some areas of service are already suffering, far worse can be
expected with the autumn cutbacks. "We are down to the bone
now and I'm letting you all know in advance that it is likely to get
very difficult," he concluded.
 Youghal Camogie Club is going
from strength to strength.
We had a very late start to the season with training not starting
until late February and we had a couple of hic ups with not having
a trainer. But Mark Burke came on board for us in March and
training has been going very well for the girls with 3 nights a week
solidly since March.
The league started very well with a great win against Blarney and
we thought there were better things to come, unfortunately we
were hampered with injuries with 2 of our pivotal players – Edel
O’Connell & Alice Barry been forced out of the season due to
injury.
The league concluded on the 7th July with our final game against
Ballinascarthy with the score line 1-6 to 1-4 to Ballinscarthy,
Youghal were very unlucky with a few harsh decisions. The very
young Youghal team put up a great fight and showed that they are
determined to make this year a good one for the Club.
The game started with a great free from Kelma McCarthy, from
the 45 to Sarah Flavin who knocked it in to score a wonderful goal
form just outside the square. A couple of scores from Ballinascarty
and a few frees were awarded to put the game level but Shannon
Joyce was available for Youghal to get 2 very nice points from
play. There was excellent performances from Sarah Coughlan in
goal and Michaela Dalton wing back who prove that age is just a
number as they are still playing Under 14. Roisin O’Keeffe in the
forwards must also get a mention for an excellent performance
laying off some great passes to result in scores.
Woman of the match goes to Robyn Healy who kept great compo-
sure on the ball in the back line and her performance defiantly hin-
dered any of the Ballinascarty forwards from scoring.
Our minors played Castlelyons on Sunday 12th July on a very bad
night. They went to Castlelyons with no ilusions that they were
going to have an easy game, but the girls came out on top with a
score of 3-1 to 1-4.
Ciara O Shoichru was on form in full forward when a great ball
was lobed in from Shannen Joyce where Ciara doubled on it to
score a cracking goal she followed shortly with another great goal,
scores also came from Roisin O’Keefe and a lovely point was
scored by Shannen Joyce. Their back line also played with great
persistance. It was a great game for all.
This will give our young girls a great boost going into
Championship with the Junior team on Wednesday 15th July –
they are away to St. Vincents and throw in is at 7.30 pm
YOUGHAL INDOOR BOWLING
With six rounds of the League played, the position at the top of the
table is very tight. Team 3 is on 14 1/2 points while teams 5 and
10 share the top spot on 16 points. The teams in numerical order
are as follows :- team 3 ; Sheila Kenneally, Maureen Broderick
and Michael Bevan.
Team 5 ; Jan Goodwin, Emily Fitzgerald and Eileen Long. Team
10 ; Carol Mullally, Lily Bulman
and Celia O'Sullivan. This should ensure a battle royal over the
next three rounds.
A very good attendance saw some excellent bowling for the week-
ly prize. With one point to spare over their nearest rivals, the win-
ners were Ann Galvin and Jack Donoghue. Well done, Ann ; you
were paired with one of the best bowlers in the club but for a
beginner, you certainly played your part. Bowling continues next
week at Arus, at 2:15pm.
Fr.O'Neill's Camogie Club .
Sunday 5th July first round of the Intermediate competetion saw
Fr.O'Neill's meet Tracton at Mayfield . From the opening puck of
the ball Tracton took command and followed through with their
first point . A free was then given to Fr.O'Neill's which Nicola
Nagle put over the bar . Within minutes Tracton were awarded a
free which was lobed into the box which the goalie Linda Hayes
defended bravely but Tracton found the back of the net . Play con-
tinued intensely with Fr.O'Neill's (Kate Harrington) taking a free
which passed to Francis Wiggins but went wide. Fifteen minutes
into the match at this stage and the rain came to dampen the con-
ditions but it was temporary .The next piece of action came when
Kate Harrington passed the ball to Caroline Phelan in turn to Nora
Aherne who in turn passed it to Liz Sweetnam and into the net. A
fine goal from good field work from O'Neill's . The teams were
level again .What happened next was the turning point to this
match . Within minutes of each other saw Fr.O'Neill's penalised for
two fouls from which the frees were taken and lobed beautifully
into the box and two goals were easily picked up by Tracton . A
minute later Kate Harrington recieve a point from a free .Twenty
minutes into the match and Tracton got another goal and two
points to Fr.O'Neill's one point from a free taken by Nicola Nagle
. Just before half time whistle a great ball landed to Nora Aherne
which resulted into a 65 , this then taken by Kate Harrington
which just went wide .
Half time score : Tracton 4-4... Fr.O'Neill's 1-3.
Similiar quick start to second half saw Tracton send the ball into
the square and into back of the net but luckily for O'Neill's it was
a square ball . Free out and the pressure was on and O'Neill's had
another wide . But 4 mins into the second half saw Ciara McGrath
fouled which Kate Harrington took and placed over the bar .
Similarly a foul on Liz Sweetnam saw Nicola Nagle take a fine
point for O'Neill's . Within minutes Francis Wiggins placed a fine
ball over the bar . O'Neill's looked a stronger force this second
half with Tracton getting a 65 which was placed wide which was
followed by the only yellow card being issued in the match .The
final ten minutes saw Tracton get o-1 from a free and one wide
while O'Neill's saw great play from Kate Harrington, Ciara
McGrath and two heartbreaking goal chances taken by Nora
Aherne which went narrowly wide. The final whistle blew with
O'Neill's scoring 0-4 to Tracton 0-1 in the second half .
FINAL SCORE : Tracton 4-5 Fr. O'Neill's 1-7 .
Scorers: Liz Sweetnam 1-1, Nicola Nagle 0-2 (free), Kate

YOUTHREACH STUDENTS VISIT
LIMERICK PRISON AS PART OF
THE COPPING ON PROGRAMME
A group of students from the Youthreach Training Centre took part
in the Copping On programme during the past academic year.
Copping On is the National Crime Awareness Initiative, estab-
lished in 1996, developed out of a model of good practice by
Youthreach and the Garda National Juvenile Office. This pro-
gramme arose out of a clearly identified need to respond in a com-
prehensive, holistic way to the issue of offending behaviour
amongst young people. Its focus is the implementation of a nation-
al crime awareness programme with young people at risk, and the
development and support of local multi-agency responses to the
issue of youth offending.
This programme was facilitated by Ms Nicola Lucey of Youghal
Youth Project and culminated with a visit to a Prison. This visit
took place in March when 8 students and 2 staff members traveled
to Limerick Prison. The prison visit proved to be one of the most
valuable aspects of the programme, as it gave the students first-
hand knowledge of what life is like "inside". As part of the whole
Copping On programme students usually meet with a prisoner
who will speak to them about the realities of prison life. The stu-
dents met with a young male prisoner who spoke very frankly and
honestly with them about his own personal circumstances and why
he had ended up in prison.
On their return to Youthreach the students evaluated the visit and
recorded their findings in the form of a colourful wall hanging on
which each student outlined their feelings on leaving the prison.
This art-work was displayed in the Copping On Spring 2009
Newsletter.

YOUGHAL CYCLING CLUB
Club members travelled to Killarney on the first weekend of July
to take part in the annual Ring of Kerry cycle challenge. The event
which is in its 26th year, raises funds for several charities and to
date has raised over 3 million euro. A lot of sweat has been shed
over the Kerry roads to achieve that figure and every year the
event grows in popularity. Youghal CC had a large contingent of
members make the trip to Killarney for the 112 mile round trip.
Met Eireann website was very busy in the 24hours leading up to
the event with cyclists fearing high winds and heavy rain for the
day. Fortunately Saturday morning brought dry conditions and
even sunny spells with a slight tailwind leaving Killarney,perfect
cycling conditions. Upwards of 3,000 set out from Killarney with
the first stop in Cahersiveen for refreshments before the climb of
Coomakista and onwards with the second stop of the day in
Kenmare. After Kenmare with the only rain shower of the day to
cool us down Molls gap was the only obstacle standing between
the group and the finish in Killarney from which we set off from
early that morning. Everyone had a good day out on the bike
which makes those Sunday morning training Spins worthwhile
when you sometimes feel like turning over for a few more
zzzzzzz. New members Tony and Ina Walsh, Don O Reilly and
Michael O Mahony along with Tommy Roche took part in their
first "Ring of Kerry" and had a very enjoyable day cycling the sce-
nic Kerry roads. Keep the pedals turning as the Kelly Tour is just
around the corner. Club spins Sunday mornings @ 9 am by clock
gate. Midweek @ 7.00 pm Tuesday and Thursdays. All NEW-
