Diabetes Fundraising Event
The Diabetes Fundraising Event will be held on the 26th June
2009 in memory of Frank Smith
Since 1967 the Diabetes Federation of Ireland has been dedicated
to helping people with diabetes. Through its network of support
branches throughout the country, people who have an interest in
diabetes are dedicated to sourcing and sharing information on dia-
betes and related matters.
Diabetes affects people from all walks of life, from the very young
to the very old and is now considered an epidemic by the World
Health Organisation. In Ireland, it is estimated that there are
200,000 people with diabetes with many unaware. The majority of
these people will only be diagnosed through an acute medical
event of the complications of long term untreated hyperglycaemia.
A further 200,000 people have impaired glucose tolerance or "pre-
diabetes" of which 40% will develop diabetes in the next 5 years
if lifestyle changes are not made.
Diabetes Mellitus, or just diabetes as it is more commonly known,
occurs when the sugar (glucose) level in the blood is too high.
This happens when the body is not burning up carbohydrates prop-
erly due to a defect in the pancreas, the gland that produces insulin.
Insulin is the hormone which keeps blood sugar levels within the
normal healthy range. Diabetes may be present either when no
insulin is made or when insulin is made but not working properly.
The Diabetes Federation of Ireland provides a vast range of serv-
ices which include support for children and parents with diabetes
via the Sweetpea Kidz Club, Children and adolescent adventure
activities, Family weekends and parent support groups. Advocacy
and liaison with clinics, services, the HSE and the Department of
Health and Children, National and local diabetes awareness cam-
paigns & Health Promotion initiatives including diabetes screen-
ing around the country.
To do our part in raising funds and awareness in the Youghal area
a coffee morning will take place in Cumann Na Daoine, 4
Catherine Street Youghal from 10am to 1pm, it s only 3 for
Tea/Coffee Cake with a Diabetic screening included if you wish to
avail of this service. Diabetic Screening will continue from 2pm
to 4pm at Brookes Supervalu Youghal free of charge.
This will be followed on Friday evening by an 80 s Disco at
9.30pm with optional fancy dress at the Youghal GAA Club. DJ s
on the night are Mick Sheehan & Ger O Driscoll. Tickets for this
worthy cause are only 10 and will be on sale on the door, they are

THE THIRD ANNUAL
EMER CASEY 10K
The Emer Casey Foundation would like to thank the people of
Youghal who helped make thie year s 10k the wonderful event it
proved to be. The atmosphere and buzz were electric, helped in no
small measure by the beautiful day.
The Pobalscoil na Trionoide School again was the ideal venue for
such an event with ample parking, a huge hall for registration and
a social hall for musical entertainment, prize giving and the ever
welcome cuppa.
Matheson Ormsby Prentice solicitors were again the main spon-
sors of the event with Galvin’s Costcutters very kindly supplying
the goodie bags and Flanagan Print sponsoring all the printing for
the event. Some very valuable spot prizes were sponsored by
Gazebo’s restaurant, Murphy’s Pharmacy, Depuis Johnson and
Johnson and the Quality hotel, Youghal. A big thank you also to
the Youghal Athletic Club who helped to organise and run the
event.
The main driving forces behind the scenes were Ger Flanagan,
Tommy Roche and John Kelly. These men were ably assisted by
the wild geese, the boy scouts, the Gardai and the stewards. All of
these volunteers combined, together with the walkie talkies sup-
plied by David Keane, ensured that the safety and security meas-
ures were first class. The registration was very professionally
organised by Johnny Walsh and Liam O’Brien of Ballycotton
Running Promotions. They also very kindly assisted in signage as
did Maurice and Jim Flanagan and Jenny and Paudie Lee.
Dan McCarthy, chairman of the East Cork Board raised the gun at
1.30pm and it was a real spectacle to watch close to 1,000 runners
and walkers taking to the streets of Youghal. Competitors ran to
the beat of very lively music provided by Ollie McCarthy and
Noel Cronin provided the public address. The time-keepers at the
end of the race were very efficient and the medical staff were ably
assisted by Patrick McCarthy and the ambulance staff, Youghal
fire brigade and coastguard. Pupils from Pobalscoil Na Trionoide
very kindly organised the water stations and assisted in the good-
ie bag packaging on Saturday.
John Butler provided buses to bring participants back to the school
where they were treated to some well deserved refreshments
organised by Eileen Reddy and friends. The sandwiches and cakes
were supplied by our many friends throughout the town and the
musical entertainment was provided by J.J. Cooley, Tony Dunne,
Ted Farrell and Keith Ansboro. Jimmy Healy and friends very
kindly offered their services to all those athletes with sore muscles,
aches and pains.
A special thank you to the caretakers of Pobalscoil Na Trionoide
who were at hand to ensure everything went like clockwork
including setting up the school in advance and staying on to close
up afterwards. A big thank you to C.R.Y. for all the publicity and
live coverage and to Will Downing and Eugene Crotty for the
exciting commentary. Mayor Olly Casey performed his final
duties as town mayor the day of the race and we would like to
thank him for his invaluable assistance and to wish him the very
best in his retirement.
There was more than enough parking for all the participants and
spectators and this is due to the generosity of Michael Farrell and
the Youghal Rugby Club for the use of their parking facilities.
The most unexpected and welcome entry of the day was that of
Sonia O’Sullivan. It is remarkable to have the support of such an
elite yet humble athlete and a huge thank you to the people of
Youghal for making her feel so welcome and at home.
Finally, a huge thank you to everybody who participated in the
event and who raised sponsorship money. Your generosity is yet
again overwhelming and the amount raised to date from entries,
sponsorship and donations is in excess of 30k.
Our sincere gratitude,
The Emer Casey Foundation.

KILLEAGH/ INCH COMMU-
NITY COUNCIL
A meeting of the above was held in Killeagh Hall on Thursday
May 28th 2009.
Garda situation
Our local Garda, Dave Leahy, and Garda Rachel McGrath from
Midleton Garda station attended our meeting by invitation to
address concerns that our local community have raised through the
Community Council. A delegation from Castlemartyr Community
Council had also been invited to attend. Many local concerns
were discussed ranging from local crime, speeding on our roads,
and anti-social behaviour in our respective villages. The outcome
of this discussion was the decision that a joint deputation would
lobby our government to provide a second garda for the district.
A deputation from both groups will request meetings with a garda
representative and also lobby our local and national politicians to
provide more garda cover in the area. We would like to thank
Garda Leahy and Garda McGrath for taking the time to attend our
meeting and also thank the Castlemartyr delegation for attending.
Pride in our Community: The community council have been
looking into the possibility of tidying up the two old graveyards in
our village. Both of these graveyards need a lot of work. The
Community Council have been in touch with the County Council
who did arrange to have some rubble removed but there is still a
lot of work to be done including rebuilding the wall dividing the
two graveyards and tidying up the older graveyard which is very
overgrown. An appeal for help from the local community will be
made at a later date to organise a tidy up of these burial grounds.
Rural Transport: A new rural transport scheme in association
with SECAD was launched in our area on Friday the 29th May. A
bus serving Killeagh, the High Road, Mount Uniacke, Dangan,
Ballyere, Drishane, Clasheel set out for Youghal at approx 9.45 on
this day and returned at approximately 2 p.m. This bus is free to
those that have free travel and for those who do not have free trav-
el the return cost is 5. If you would like more information regard-
ing this scheme please ring 97210 for information.
Defibrillator: A PUBLIC MEETING HAS BEEN ARRANGED
BY KILLEAGH/INCH COMMUNITY COUNCIL WITH
BERNARD FLYNN OF THE HSE ON MONDAY 29TH JUNE
IN KILLEAGH HALL AT 8 P.M. TO DISCUSS THE SETTING
UP OF AN EMERGENCY DEFIBRILLATOR GROUP IN OUR

West Waterford News
Late Margaret [Madge] Aherne
Youghal & Clashmore
The sun shone down in the tranquil
corner of the old cemetery in
Clashmore on Saturday May 20th -
Madge Aherne had made her final
journey home and all those present
were witnessing the final chapter in a
remarkable life which began way back
in 1916.
As the final prayers were said family
and friends lingered to chat and some
wonderful memories of a lady whose
life has been a shining example and
inspiration to all, were recalled.
Born in Knockanaris Clashmore in
1916 - like so many of her generation
- life growing up in rural Ireland was
extremely difficult for Madge and her family, her near perfect mem-
ory right up to the very end of her life could recall those early years
with great clarity and detail. Going to school in Clashmore, the hard-
ships endured because of the lack of basic essentials - running water
and electricity- transport- luxuries taken so much for granted today.
She married her husband Patrick Aherne from nearby Creggs and
together they had three children - however the death of their beauti-
ful daughter Mary Margaret in 1947 at the age of just four years was
a devastating blow to the Aherne family. Madge never forgot the
kindness and help of their wonderful Clashmore neighbours and
friends who supported them through those heartbreaking times.
In 1961 Madge, Patrick and their children left their beloved
Clashmore for a chance of a better life across the Blackwater in
Youghal Town, this joy was short lived however, as tragedy struck
once in again 1967 with the unexpected death of her husband Patrick.
However it was her remarkable faith which gave Madge the courage
and strength to carry on alone and raise a wonderful family. In final
months of Madge’s life she resided in the love and care of Peter
Angela and staff of Youghal and district nursing home - as her long
life grew to a close, Madge had no doubt where she was going and
knew she would reunited once again with those she loved who had
gone before her in their heavenly abode.
Despite having lived the second half of life in Youghal she never lost
touch with her native Clashmore, childhood friendships were very
special to Madge and she visited on a regular basis. Each week she
kept in touch with all the happenings from across the bridge -with the
local Dungarvan papers were the highlight of her week.
Madge was first and foremost a family woman and she devoted her
entire adult life to the love and care of her children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren. She supported and encouraged them in their
careers and past times - their interests were her interests. Her life and
courage has always been a great inspiration to them especially her
grandchildren - in the following reflection read by her grandson
Kieran at her funeral mass which was celebrated by Fr Bill
Bermingham at the Holy Family church in Youghal - summed up
what this dearly loved lady ment to them
"What is a Grandmother?"
A grandmother is a remarkable woman.
She’s a wonderful combination of warmth and kindness
laughter and love
She overlooks our faults, encourages our dreams,
and praises our every success.
A Grandmother has the wisdom of a teacher,
and sincerity of a true friend, and the
tenderness of a mother.
She’s someone that we admire, respect
and love very much.
A grandmother will always have a cherished place
in our memories and in our hearts
She’s someone for whom we want every happiness
in return for the joy she always brings.
Youghal News.....June 11th 2009
Page One
A Grandmother is all the dear and precious things in life
when she’s a Grandmother like you.
That’s why we can’t help but love everything about you."
Madge is survived by her son John, her daughter Biddy her son in
law Bill, daughter in law Pat, her grandchildren, Kieran, Elaine,
Derek, Sean, Mark, and Damien great grandchildren Fionn Darragh
and Taylor her nieces relatives to whom we tender our deepest and
heartfelt sympathy
Madge may your spirit continue to inspire those you loved Madge
and may your gentle soul rest in everlasting peace.
The late Helen Collins
Grange and England
Helen’s untimely death recently has left family and friends devastat-
ed and deeply saddened. Born in Glenlickey Grange, Helen eldest of
the Power sisters immigrated to England in the 1950’s to pursue a
career in nursing. There she met and married Clonakilty chief Pat
Collins, who was employed at the same hospital. Pats unexpected
death some 27 years ago was a devastating blow to Helen. However
she remained on in England and continued her nursing career until
her retirement. Over the years Helen always remained in close con-
tact with her family here in West Waterford and she visited regularly
once sometimes twice each year. Late last year Helen finally returned
home to her family in Grange, where she was lovingly cared for by
her sister Monica, Michael and all her family. Helen is survived by
her sisters Monica O Connell [Grange], Easther Brown [Youghal]
Breda Aherne Kereen her brothers in law nephews nieces relatives
and friends to whom we tender our deepest and heart felt sympathy
On Saturday evening May 2nd Helen’s removal took place to Grange
church, on Sunday morning requiem mass was celebrated for the
happy repose of her soul, Helen was then taken on her final journey
to England where she will be laid to rest along side her late husband
Pat last week. Ar dheis De go raibh a hanam dilis.

course, raising funds for the "Stuart Mangan Appeal"- Up to April
5th 2008 - Stuart Mangan was a very brilliant young man and the
world was his oyster. A very academic student and talented sports
man Stuart was playing rugby for Hammersmith and Fulham Rugby
Club in London when an ordinary tackle resulted in a life changing
spinal injury which has left him on a ventilator and in need of 24
hour care. Despite all this remarkable young man has shown incred-
ible courage and has inspired so many people along the way.
Eileen like so many other people has been touched by Stuart’s Story,
she is also aware of the huge funding needed to ensure Stuart gets all
the care and comfort he needs - any one wishing to sponsor Eileen
can contact her personally handing it in to her mother in law Mrs
Mary Dower in the village or to the Decies Bar in Clashmore.

Clashmore - Kinsalebeg Juvenile GAA
County Minor Football Final
Congratulations to the Minor team that defeated Ballinacourty last
Wednesday evening in Fraher Field. This was a very competitive but
sporting match with a very exciting finish. Ballinacourty stormed the
Clashmore/Kinsalebeg defence during the last ten minutes and threw
everything at the lads but they failed to break through. Well done to
the team for their work and determination and to their mentors who
put in great time and effort during the year. It was good to see them
getting their reward by bringing the Minor Cup to
Clashmore/Kinsalebeg for the very first time.
It was also good to hear Brian O’ Halloran, as Captain, acknowledge
his thanks on behalf of the team to the present mentors, and especial-
ly to all the mentors at under age level who helped in bringing this
team up along the lines. He also acknowledged the work done by two
staunch clubmen who have passed to their eternal reward- Eamonn
Lombard, RIP. and Liam O’Rourke, RIP.
This was a great win for the Club and will be remembered for a long
time to come.

all their matches. These were Sarah Roche, Rebecca Curran, Cl dagh

Good News for Clashmore School
This week Clashmore National School received some wonderful
news - the proposed cuts in education would have resulted in the
loss of one of our teachers, nobody wanted to return to those days
just over a year ago when classes in the school had to be divided
and our teachers were stretched to their limits to cope with the
needs of the huge number of children in their care each day.
Thankfully we get to retain our fourth teacher - thanks to everyone
who lent his or her support to the campaign against government
cuts in education.

YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 8TH 2009
By Christy Parker
With all seven contesting members having been re-elected, there
was an air of relief, triumph and confidence about the final sitting
of the 2004-9 Town Council. Business was strictly and enthusias-
tically observed, as emphasised by the main issue of the night:
Motion by Cllr Burke, supported by Mayor Casey: "that this
Council develops a Retail Strategy for Youghal to be incorporat-
ed into the Youghal Town Development Plan 2009-15. A major
component of this strategy should be the inclusion of a major
retail shopping complex on the Mill Road site identified for same
in the Development Plan by Youghal Town Council and (ii)
actively encourage developers to construct a major retail com-
plex on the Mill Road site identified and zoned by the Council in
the Youghal Town Development Plan 2009-15."
The Motion sparked a lively debate on An Bord Pleanala’s recent
rejection of planning permission given to Galvin Developments
Ltd. for construction of a retail complex at Indian Point, Mill
Road. Referring to the "shock waves" unleashed by the decision,
Cllr Burke said Youghal ’had been looking forward to a modern
shopping complex with a nationally known anchor tenant, that
would have vastly improved its competitive position in relation to
neighbouring towns.’ Hundreds of jobs would have been created in
its wake but instead, ’Youghal money is ’supporting the Dungarvan
economy particularly, including Dunne’s Stores,’ he said.
The councillor launched a scathing attack on those who had "again
prevented the advent of new business and enterprise" in Youghal.
He said the "the objections were basically all about keeping com-
petition out of town and preserving existing vested interests." He
claimed that ’for so many years local business had jealously guard-
ed its own little patch and objected to any development which
would have enhanced the town’s economic profile."
Cllr Burke called on the Council to "retrieve the situation" by
drawing up a Retail Strategy for Youghal, with terms of reference
to include a major retail complex at the Mill Road site, "which was
unanimously rezoned by the council members’ for such purpose.
This strategy should be included in the Town Development Plan
2009-15. He believed every effort should be made to encourage
developers to utilise the Mill Road site and hoped that Galvin
Developments would make the necessary amendments and submit
a revised planning application.
"Poor planning application"
Amidst unanimous support for the motion, Cllr Murray said there
was an identified need for a Retail Strategy in both the Public
Realm and Town Development Plans and that it would encompass
all areas, including Youghal’s periphery. She then expressed disap-
pointment that the developers had submitted "such a poor planning
application" and felt it "unfortunate that Dunnes Stores, which
"was a carrot to sway support," had become synonymous with the
application without having made any commitment to it. She hoped
that Galvin Developments, now that they owned the expensively
bought site would return with "a better plan" such as Youghal
deserved. She added that, "Dungarvan kept big developments out
of its town until it got the best plan."
Mayor Casey sparked a furious response from Cllr Murray when
he suggested that if she hadn’t liked the plan, she should have
voted against it. Vociferously supported by Cllr Beecher, Cllr
Murray stood up to remind him that she had voted for the rezon-
ing but that -as he knew- councillors had no input into the planning
process thereafter. Town Manager Patricia Power concurred, say-
ing the councillors had rezoned the land but the council executive
had issued the planning permission. "There is nothing we could
have done to prevent the Bord Pleanala decision," she concluded.
Cllr Burke would later correct Cllr Murray that part of Galvin
Developments’s presentation to the council on seeking rezoning
was "a legally binding letter of intent from Dunne’s," subject to the
development going ahead.
Cllr Linehan Foley was ’disgusted" with An Bord Pleanala’s deci-
sion. Like many Youghal people, she said, she shopped in
Dungarvan and Mahon Point, "because I have to" and she claimed
Youghal News.....June 11th 2009
Youghal had continuously rejected large retail development for 40
years.
Cllr Savage said it would be very difficult for any developer to
invest in Indian Point given An Bord Pleanala’s views, especially
its emphasis on town centre retailing. He agreed strongly that a
Retail Strategy implemented into the Town Development would
prove "very useful." Cllr Burke then observed that An Bord
Pleanala had "used the Cork Retail Strategy, which was never
incorporated into Youghal’s Development Plan."
"Flawed report"
Town Clerk Liam Ryan added further fuel to the fires of ire when
he asserted that "the inspector’s report was flawed in its description
of the site because it classed it as "’out of town.’" Yet when appeals
had been made against the Tesco and Lidl (which is 50 yards fur-
ther removed than Indian Point), An Bord Pleanala had classed
them as ’edge of centre.’ Mr. Ryan said, "It’s completely irrational
and smacks of the inspector having his mind made up in advance.
He also believed that Youghal had been wrongly "used by vested
national interests as a test case for other towns."
The Town Clerk provided further insight when he rubbished the
Bord’s consideration of intrusion on the graveyard wall as a telling
factor, saying no relevant heritage organisations had appealed the
development. .
With the motion unanimously agreed, there was support for Cllr
Murray’s insistence that only consultants who specify in retail
strategy be employed for the purpose. Mayor Casey said this was
particularly important given the unique, elongated nature of the
town.
Cllr Burke summarised the Retail Strategy as possibly looking at
Youghal’s capacity to accommodate extra shopping, considering
the competitive positions of Tesco/Lidl area versus the town cen-
tre, making recommendations as to the type of town centre retail-
ing to compliment a Mill Road development, looking at the issue
of vacant town centre shops and rents and analysing the suitabili-
ty of ’town centre’ and ’edge of town centre’ sites.
Town Foreman’s Report:
Cllr Burke requested ramps at the Green, road markings at Dun
Chorain, "in consultation with the residents," public lighting at the
Fair Field and a seat to be provided in the foyer of the post office,
particularly necessitated for elderly people. He asked that the
council write to the HSE regarding visits by the school dentist who
now visits only twice weekly for emergency treatment, with "the
days of check-ups or prevention being better than cure seemingly
gone." He also wondered if the builders bond could be invoked to
get the Green Area at Oak Hill trimmed. A handrail on steps at
Raheen Park needs repairing, road markings in the area need
improving and the grass on the bank from nos.15 to 20 need cut-
ting. Nearby, the holes in the town walls are inadequately protect-
ed and pose a serious danger of collapsing on children who might
decide to access the vicinity. He voiced the need to clean the Gaol
Steps, repair the water channels on Golf Links Road behind the
Marine bar, repair footpaths at 29 Sweetfield Estate and complete
paths at Windmill Hill.
Cllr McLellan asked if ramps could be provided at
McCurtainstown and at Parklands. Cllr Beecher asked that the
footpath from Aura to the Front Strand be completed. He said the
entrance to Green Hole is very dangerous, with washed out sand
causing a 10ft drop. The litterbin at the tourist office needs to be
better secured and a nearby tree stump requires uprooting. He
called for ball playing at Barry’s Lane to be stopped as it intimi-
dates locals and pedestrians, while a tree hanging into Moonraker,
Cork Hill, should be trimmed back.
Cllr Barbara Murray asked that the De Valera Street car park be
completed and broken footpaths on various areas of North Main
Street be repaired. Cllr Linehan Foley said an abandoned car on
Kilcoran Road had smashed windows, stored rubbish and, being
adjacent to the ESB power station, posed a serious fire hazard.
Cllr Revins said every estate is looking for speed ramps and said a
Town Council by-law was needed to address ball playing at
Youghal News.....June 11th 2009
YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL
Cllr Revins said every estate is looking for speed ramps and said a
Town Council by-law was needed to address ball playing at Barry’s
Lane. Mayor Casey asked that "a mighty pole" used for drying
hoses in the distant past be removed from the vicinity of the fire sta-
tion.
Cork County Council Items:
Cllr Linehan Foley asked if Town Engineer Paul Murray for updates
on the Greencloyne footpath and kerb problems and the landscaping
to discourage the parking that obstructs emerging traffic opposite
Crowley’s garage. She reminded that a footpath at Dominic Collins’s
Place needed extending and said more bins are needed at Claycastle,
along with signs denoting their presence.
Cllr Revins asked that cutting at top of Kilcoran Park be undertak-
en and large potholes at Knockaverry Estate be treated. He informed
of an e-mail from the Quality Hotel complaining of the littered
Redbarn beach and asked whether the County Council planned to
put bins there. Town engineer Paul Murray said Redbarn is being
piloted as a Blue Flag beach, with no plans to install bins. Instead,
a ’pack it in, pack it out’ program was being operated, whereby signs
had been erected to encourage visitors to bring their waste home. "I
don’t think anyone understands that," interceded Cllrs Murray sup-
ported by Cllr McLellan. "The Council should put up a simple sign
such as, ’Take your litter home.’
Cllr Savage, at his final council sitting, asked that grass margins at
the town entrances be trimmed. Cllr Burke asked if any sort of
patching could be done in lieu of complaints about potholes, etc on
the back street, which are damaging cars. He wanted signs denoting
Youghal as a Fair Trade town erected at town boundaries. "Lets tell
the world," he advised. He continued with "the usual list of broken
footpaths" -Tallow Street, South Main Street, junction South
Abbey/Strand Street before concluding with unfinished road sur-
faces at the entrance to Summerdale Lawn. Cllr McLellan referred
to an abandoned car at Kilcoran Road and said residents at Glean
Tuarigh had complained of rats being attracted by rubbish dumped
within.
Cllr Beecher complained that it wasn’t acceptable that lifeguards are
only deployed at weekends during June and said a strong swimmer
had had so swim to the rescue of someone in a canoe recently. Town
Clerk Liam Ryan Clerk explained that current finances only allowed
for the present rota. "Funding comes 50% each from the Town and
County councils," he said. "The level is exactly the same as previ-
ous years, with daily lifeguards only in July and August, but if
money was allotted at December’s budget meeting, it would
change." Cllr Beecher further asked that ponding (flooding) both at
Store Street and the second last house in Kilcoran Park be resolved
(although he didn’t request a lifeguard!)
Cllr Murray sought repairs to the footpath outside Con Keogh’s
would be done, having first raised the matter last April. She won-
dered when road markings, a stop sign and a crash barrier would be
installed at Ardan na Mara and asked that sand be cleared from all
wheelchair ramps at the beaches. She suggested some flexibility in
the County Council’s work schedules for litter to be picked from the
beach on weekends. "Perhaps a shift switch by some workers from
midweek to weekends?" she suggested.
Mayor Casey asked that ponding outside Nagle House be resolved,
especially as the premises was just painted. He asked that a ’No
Overtaking’ sign be erected at the Mall, as cars often have to stray a
little to the left before turning right to park perpendicular to the path.
"Unfortunately, drivers tend to overtake at that moment and some-
one is going to get killed," he warned.
Having listened to the list of concerns, Town Engineer Paul Murray
added that litterbins at Redbarn would attract vermin. He said he is
waiting for a price to be submitted from the contractor before autho-
rising completion of the path from Aura. He agreed the back street
is in bad shape but argued that in the coming years it will be dug up
for the new main drainage scheme -though he failed to impress his
listeners! He also said his outdoor staff are dealing with a series of
water leaks in town, which once resolved, would allow attention to
be turned to road, including the dip outside the court house.
Cllr Beecher again complained about obnoxious odours emanating
at weekends from Foxhole. Mayor Casey said the EPA is monitor-
ing the area and a report would be forthcoming.
Manager’s Orders (and Mayor’s tributes!):
Mayor Casey took the opportunity to convey how honoured he had
felt to serve the community over the past 15 years. "It was -and still
is - in my blood," he said, "but having started work at 15 ‰ and now
being 67, there comes a time to stand down and take a break."
Amidst much good wishes, Cllr Linehan Foley recalled the mayor
affording her guidance and respect when she was first elected in
1999. "It was an honour to work with you and I’ll miss you," she
proclaimed. She then asked that the media clarify a previous, seem-
ingly disparaging incident in which she had alluded, caustically, to
’the face on the Mayor’ during a strongly heated debate. "We both
know it was nothing personal" she said, "but I got some stick for it
on doorsteps." Done.
Cllr Burke thanked the Mayor for a "wonderful 15 years." He said
he had given "half a century to Youghal" from a teenager in Youghal
Gasworks to 40 years as water curator, 21 as fire brigade station
officer and then councillor, with three terms as mayor. "You are a
person of principle, integrity, honour, honesty, dedication and com-
mitment," he said to his retiring friend, followed by spontaneous
applause.
Mall Arts Centre:
The council unanimously agreed to transfer running of the Mall Arts
Centre to Hatherton Ltd., which trades as Youghal Enterprise
Centre. The agreement followed a brief appraisal from the Town
Clerk in which he referred to "enormous difficulties" imposed by
the present financial climate, in running the centre from the Town
Council offices. He referred to such aspects as staffing and funding
being difficult and believed the transfer could bring a financial
viewpoint to bear, with a more imaginative, less restrained
approach. The initiative would be executed "immediately," he
added.
Correspondence:
Cllr Revins expressed reservations in providing East Cork Tourism
with a requested 7,000 fee. "We don’t even get invited to their
annual showcase and get very little information from them," he said.
The Town Clerk’s suggestion that East Cork Tourism be invited to
make a presentation as to their strategy for Youghal prior to being
given any money, was accepted.
Congratulations:
Cllr Sammy Revins congratulated Youghal United for winning the
Beamish Stout Senior Cup recently. He said they are only the third
team outside Cork city to win it since 1938 and he "would be ask-
ing for a civic reception." He also congratulated Youghal Pipe Band
for their victory in the South of Ireland Championships in Cobh on
May 31st and snooker players Brendan Cooney and Aaron Tobin for
their triumphs in the All Ireland Masters and Under-14
Championships respectively.
Cllr Sandra McLellan sparked a round of applause when she con-
gratulated her Sinn Fein colleague and sister-in-law Cllr Michelle
Hennessy on the birth of a baby girl. Cllr Mary Linehan Foley also
paid tribute to the Youghal Pipe Band before inquiring as the civic
receptions agreed for the Mayor’s wife Anne and also for retired
HSE ambulance medic Paddy Neville. Mayor Casey said it would
be appropriate for the incoming Mayor to set the date and details.
Any Other Business:
Cllr Linehan Foley was informed that business or homeowners can
still apply for inclusion in the street painting scheme.
Cllr David Savage said a fond farewell to his colleagues after five
years as a councillor. He said it had been a privilege to serve and
while he had "thoroughly enjoyed" his five years as a councillor, he
had particularly enjoyed his term as mayor from 2007-8. He paid
tribute to the Town Clerk, the present and previous Town Managers
and their staff. He recognised they had a hard job but believed that
future generations would recognise that good things had been deliv-
ered to Youghal under their stewardship. Mr Ryan said working
together was the key to success and had been in particular over the
past two councils. He thanked Cllr Savage for his contribution.
Town Manager Patricia Power concurred with Mr. Ryan’s senti-
ments.

The qouta for election was 342 votes from a total of 3,418 votes As lunchtime drifted into after-
noon at the Town Hall’s Mall Arts
Centre it became as clear as the
glass annex that at least 8 of the
seats would be secured. Both
Billy Murphy (Independent- 29)
and Dave Daly (F anna FÆil - 84)
found themselves needing exces- Cllr. Michael Beecher and Helen

sive extra votes to remain in the
chase. Fine Gael’s Robert Sweetnam and Sinn FØin’s Michelle
Hennessey were neck and neck with a handful of votes separating
them.
By the second count a staggering 114 of Sandra McLellan’s trans-
fers moved the seat a step closer to Cllr. Hennessey and brought
whoops and cheers from her supporters.
Robert Sweetnam now needed an equally effective transfer of the
166 surplus votes from Michael Beecher. However, Barbara
Murray was favourite to take the majority of those, and she did.
Cllr. Murray secured 50 transfers with Robert’s fate sealed with 33

12 in all. The 2004 local elections saw 23 hopefuls contest seats in
what was oftentimes a contentious and controversial affair.
Though the 2009 Local Elections were much more understated
and low key, there were a number of significant factors that will
make it memorable for candidates, their families and the voters.
For much of the day the Town Hall resembled a bookies with bod-
ies busily counting, adding subtracting, surmising, predicting,
cheering and sighing. C.R.Y. sat track-side interviewing those who
had just caught their breath having past the winning post. There
was some light humour prior to the first count as the Town Clerk
explained reasons for the relegation of 41 invalid votes. These
included as many as four ticks or Xs being placed in candidates
boxes and some without any mark at all. Heads shook in dismay.
At the first count there is little doubt that Eoin Coyne grabbed the
headlines. Eoin belied his age, storming to third place with 414

Cllr. Mary Linehan-Foley pictured with her family at the count
Revins outshone Mystic Meg with a prediction of 300 votes after
the first count, he secured 294. Cllr. Linehan-Foley remarked on
her Dad’s old adage that polling at a consistant level was far more
desirable than topping it one year and failing the next, while a dig-
nified Cllr. Burke was soothed by the security of the votes he
would and had gained from his colleague and friend, Ollie Casey.
By count three the rain turned from light to heavy. Inside the old
ballroom Cllr. Murray was elected with the fate of the others
signed, sealed and awating formal delivery.
Councillors and candidates were equally gracious in victory and
defeat. All remained to watch,
listen and congratulate. Some
looked exhausted by weeks of
campaigning and the strain of the
mathematical twists and turns.
Rounds of applause were meas-
ured in appreciation for those
who had made democracy viable
by putting their names forward.
No-one was forgotten, in particu-
lar, the absent Billy Murphy and
the unelected Robert Sweetnam
and Dave Daly. Had they not
been brave enough to literally be
counted, there would have ben
no election.
Tom Brennan and Simon Walsh
Poll topper, Sandra McLellan
puffed with relief. I’m delighted. Asked if she was looking for-
ward to a second term, she replied. I’m more confident going into
it. I felt the campaign went well and the feedback was very good.
She wasted no time in pointing out what she hoped to achieve.
We must stick at job creation and get the enterprise centre for
Youghal to open workshops. We could get five more businesses,
she said. She concluded that she had ’learned a lot’ and her wish
was to ’work for everyone across the board’. Fellow Sinn FØin
Cllr., Michelle Hennessy said she was ’glad to have a second
Tom Linehan, Jerry Russell, Robert Sweetnam, Geraldine Browne and Anthony
Russell
chance’. I think it’s harder to hold a seat and it feels way better to
be actually elected. I feel I have way more confidence this time
round with two and a half years experience. I’m delighted for
Sandra and the Sinn FØin votes transferred well, she said.
Confidence was the buzz word for those re-elected and Cllr.
Beecher echoed the sentiment. I know people have confidence in
me now but there is always room for improvement. I’d like to
thank the people because this is the highest honour. I’m thrilled
and it shows local democracy is strong in Youghal, he said.
The two new Cllrs., Eoin Coyne and Donie Daly had all the enthu-
siasm of fresh blood. Cllr. Coyne was quick to throw off the cate-
gory of ’youth candidate’. My main ambition is to represent all of
Youghal to the best of my ability. I don’t want to be labeled as just
the young voice for Youghal. I want to represent young and old.
Asked how he felt about the campaign he was honest in his assess-
ment. I found it daunting at first because of the way people feel
about F anna FÆil at the moment. I feel the work I put in paid off.
I was happy with the campaign. There was a mixed reaction from
door to door but I think people are more interested in local issues.
Meanwhile, Donie Daly’s pride was evident at finally securing a
seat for Labour and wants to focus on realistic goals. I’m delight-
ed for all the hard work everyone put in since April. There are out-
standing issues such as tourism and getting back the blue flags for
Youghal and we will continue to lobby for the railway line to be
reopened, he said. Cllr. Daly then hoped to build on Labour’s
return to local politics. We want to build a nucleus for Labour
here in Youghal with intelligent, articulate individuals and the
feedback on the campaign was brilliant. People are genuinely
looking for change.
There is change and yet the Youghal electorate ignored the tsuna-
mi that swept the country and threatened to engulf F anna FÆil.
Swimming against the tide is a past-time in Youghal and the elec-
torate chose to keep F anna FÆil in a majority on the Youghal
Council. It’s claimed that local politics is about personalities and
local issues and Eoin Coyne’s elevation is testament to that. Cllr.
Burke welcomed such a fresh impetus to the often mundane, dusty
 Youghal News.....June 11th 2009
Burke welcomed such a fresh impetus to the often mundane, dusty
chamber that seems to grind slowly on the rusted rails of the Irish
political system. It will be different but it’s great to see the
Council injected with new blood and fresh ideas. He stated that
he would continue his work with local heritage. Money is still
coming into heritage despite the current climate and the new her-
itage directional signs will be rolled out to the historic core of the
town shortly. He added that he was ’honoured and privileged’ to
be re-elected. The vote I got was a combination of myself and
Ollie Casey. It was a great pleasure to work with him for fifteen
years. It was a strong alliance and that alliance got me elected.
For F anna FÆil Cllrs., Linehan-Foley and Revins it was a time to
reflect on how the government had left them with pieces to pick
up. Asked how she had avoided becoming a victim to protest vot-
ing against her party she said it would have been ’unfair to hit local
representatives’. The local elections are contested by personali-
ties. I’ve worked hard for five years. I’m thrilled to be back in and
I thank everyone who voted for me. There’s a lot of issues. We
want to get Dunnes back up and running, we want the new library
in the County Council premises that they bought and we will con-
tinue to fight for a marina for Youghal, she said. Former Cllr.,
Ollie Casey was again remembered by Cllr. Linehan-Foley. He
will be missed, he was like a father figure to me and was a great
help to me when my Dad passed away. Meanwhile, Cllr. Revins
revealed that this would be his last term in office. I’ll step down
after this term. I’ll have given twenty years by that time. So what
would he wish to see realised for Youghal when that day comes.
I’d love to see employment come back to Youghal, even a few
small industries and I still would like to see a shopping outlet, he
said. The campaign had been difficult but Sammy had counted on
the goodwill of his personal vote. I canvassed on my own as
Sammy Revins and now I will continue to work as hard as I have
ever done for the town.
Party politics wise the only change to the line up is the new Labour
seat. Fine Gael’s Cllr. Murray is relieved to continue the strong
representation of her party. It’s a relief to be elected. There was
no surprises locally that the seven would make it. She also wel-
comed the new Cllrs. They’ll be a breath of fresh air. The first
term is all about settling in and it’s the biggest learning cure. I now
have five years under my belt and have forged relationships in a
lot of departments. The campaign was hard. Politics is a tough
game and you need all the help you can get.
By 8pm the numbers were added up, the party was over. Those
who celebrated into the night would have had an uneasy sleep. The
work and the often thankless tasks, frustrations and disappoint-
ments start today. The Council staff excelled in the operation of
the count, their tireless efforts greatly appreciated. Town Clerk,
Liam Ryan remained, as ever, coolness personified and his dili-
gence during the counts made the process seamless. His clear and
concise explanations brought both clarity and understanding to the
waiting crowd. Appreciation was shown with a round of applause
as the 2009 election ended.

Tel: 024 90050 for reservations Million Of Irish Potatoes in
2009
SuperValu has announced that
the first new season Irish pota-
toes will be delivered to over 190
stores nationwide this week.
SuperValu spent over 25 mil-
lion on Irish potatoes in 2008
and with volume up almost 12%,
Ireland s leading independent supermarket network expect to
exceed this again in the coming year, In these recessionary times,
indications are that consumers are returning to home-cooked
familiar foods.
Approximately 35,000 tonnes of potatoes are sourced from
SuperValu s group of dedicated growing partners and packed into
the SuperValu branded bags. With primary packers based in
Dublin, Kilkenny and Cork, and product sourced from growers in
Anna, Zoltan and Eva Csiki, proprietors Team Bailey pictured at the barbeque
Donegal, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Wicklow, Carlow, Wexford,
Kildare, Dublin, Cork and Waterford, this truly is a nationwide
enterprise.
During 2008 Musgrave and the SuperValu brand made a signifi-
cant contribution to the Irish economy and Irish suppliers with
75% of all products purchased on behalf of all its retail partners,
either produced or manufactured in Ireland. This represents total
purchases from Irish suppliers in excess of 2.85 billion at retail
level, serving to both create and protect Irish jobs and livelihoods
and also sustain the Irish community.

INTERMEDIATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP 30/05/2009 CAR-
RIGTOHILL YOUGHAL 0-13 V DELANEYS 1-6
What was arguably the biggest football game the Club have
played in for many Years was played in Carrigtohill on Saturday
Evening 30th May. Losing would have meant a relegation playoff
which could have left the club playing East Cork Junior Football
next Year. Thankfully however the lads put in superb performance
against Delaneys to emerge victorious. Minus a few Key players
through injury and other commitments Youghal took to the Field
with some confidence but also a little doubt as to whether they
could overcome the Delaney challenge with so many players
unavailable. To their credit the players who filled in were superb
on the night. Youghal opened with a superb point inside thirty sec-
onds from Paul Kelly who ran the length of the field to get on the
end of a ball and duly put it over. Youghal struggled a bit after this
with Delaneys dominating the breaking ball around the middle
which put pressure on our rear guard and eventually led to the
Goal. Eoin Coleman went to midfield to see if he could pick up
some breaking ball and this move proved to be the key to swing-
ing the tie in Youghal’s favour. Eoin had arguably his best game
for Yearsshowing all his experience in picking up loose ball,
breaking the tackle and laying it off. This allowed Damien Ring to
dictate the play from the middle and Youghal were dominant in
this sector for the remainder of the contest. Youghals full back line
of Michael Cronin, Aaron kenny and Paul Kelly were solid
throughout as were the half back line, and up front Youghal tor-
tured their oponents with Stephen Kelly running straight at them
with every ball and chipping in with 3 points. In fact all three of
the half forwards scored three points with Barry McCarthy and the
impressive Nigel Roche having the same total. The score of the
game came from Robert Cronin late in the second half who col-
lected the ball on the 45 beat two players to head towords the 21
and from an acute angle curled a superb ball over the bar to put the
tie to bed. Onwards and upwards for the Boys after this perform-
ance and lets hope they can continue in this good form for the rest
of the season. Team : P. Mackey, M. Cronin, A. Kenny, P. Kelly 0-
1, R. Cronin 0-1, Barry Ring, A. Fox, J. Normoyle, D. Ring 0-1,

Aura Youghal getting people
fighting fit for summer
Aura Youghal Leisure Centre are offering people who are intent on
achieving beach body perfection the opportunity to get into shape
by introducing their Outdoor Boot Camp which kicks off on the
16th June.
The camp which runs all summer is suitable for all age groups
and is an ideal way to get into shape for the upcoming summer sea-
son. Everyone wants a beach body when they realise that summer
is only around the corner. June is always a busy month at the cen-
tre, so we decided to develop an exercise programme to help peo-
ple shape up and improve their fitness for their holidays,
explained Aura Youghal Leisure Centre Operations Manager,
Tracy Kenneally.
The programme is focused on helping people to tone up and to
get into shape quickly. It is a tough workout, but it is as much
about having fun as it is about working out, she continued.
Keeping fit and staying healthy can be a challenge and people are
always looking for the best and most practical way for them to stay
in shape. There are so many choices out there and sometimes it is
hard to find the programme that suits you best. These classes are
an intense physical workout that centres on free body work such as
sit ups, lunges and shuttle runs. They take place outdoors which
gives people a great opportunity to enjoy an exercise routine that
is somewhat different to the standard gym workout, explains
Tracy. The Outdoor Boot Camp classes will be held on Tuesday
and Thursday evenings at 6. 15 p.m. and lasts for 45 minutes. The
cost is 80 for a booking of ten sessions and they are also avail-
able for Pay as You Go customers.
Aura is also reminding people that the popular Boxercise classes
have returned. This unique class provides a great physical work-
out. Boxercise is an ideal way to tone up and let off some steam
after a hectic day. If you are looking for something different then
these classes provide a great alternative to the standard fitness
class. Classes take place every Friday at 12 noon and 8 p.m. and
last for 45 minutes. The cost is 80 for a ten week session and they
are also available for Pay as You Go customers, giving people the
opportunity to try it out to see if it is something which suits them.
For anyone looking for value during the recession you need look
no further than Aura Youghal which is now offering people the
opportunity to exercise for free. Aura s current special member-
ship offer means that if you sign up during the month of June you
get the rest of the month for free. First payment required will be
for the month of July. Those wishing to avail of the offer must
sign up for a minimum of three months and facilitate payment by
direct debit.
For further information on the Aura Outdoor Boot Camp,
Boxercise classes or any other classes please contact reception on

KILWATERMOY -
COMMUNITY GAMES
U12 Soccer
On May 12th last our under 12’s travelled to Abbeyside to take on
the well fancied Abbeyside team. While we started nervously,
some excellent saves from Ben Murphy and spirited defence by
Daniel Sliney, Padraig Roche, Tom Roche, Liam Hurley and
Michael Tobin kept the game scoreless. Midway through the first
half as our midfielders consisting of Edward Hynes, Edward O
Neill, Robbie Grary and Cathal O Neill began to take control, we
had some chances to take the lead, but good saves from the
Abbeyside keeper from Sean Faul and Billy Hynes kept the game
scoreless. However, approaching half time two excellent strikes
from the Abbeyside front men gave our keeper Ben Murphy no
chance and sent Abbeyside in at half time with a two goal lead.
In the second half while we had a lot of possession and some
excellent skill from John Walsh, Dylan Hogan, and Tiernan
McKeown, we failed to take our scoring opportunities, unlike
Abbeyside who scored 2 opportunistic goals giving them a 4 goal
lead heading into the final quarter.
Despite the scoreline, to their credit the lads battled on and were
rewarded when Sean Faul was taken down in the penalty area
which Cathal O Neill converted with an excellent strike to botton
left hand corner. Abbeyside added another goal just before full
time. This was an excellent spirited performance by our lads con-
sidering that the Abbeyside team consisted of players from the
Ballinroad Soccer Club who play soccer on a weekly basis.
Team: Ben Murphy, Liam Hurley, Daniel Sliney, Michael Tobin,
Tom Roche, Padraig Roche, Edward Hynes, Edward O Neill,
Robbie Geary, Cathal O Neill, Sean Faul, Billy Hynes, Dylan
Hogan, Tiernan McKeown, John Walsh.

third place medal. We had another third place winner in the U12
boys freestyle for Edward Hynes while Padraig Roche received
second place in the U14 backstroke event.

gesto getting third place and well done to all four Dylan Hogan,
