REAL REWARDS - MONEY BACK,

IT’S OUR WAY OF SAYING THANKS.
 Aura treats 3,000 kids to
free swim to celebrate
swim school success
- 3,517 taught to swim in one year -
Aura is giving 3,000 children from Youghal the opportunity to
swim for free as it celebrates its success in having taught 3,517
locals to swim or to improve their swimming skills during the past
12 months.
The centre is distributing hundreds of vouchers throughout the
town which entitle children to a free one hour swim during any
public swim session providing they are accompanied by an adult.
“This is our way of giving something back to the many families
who have made the Aura Swim Academy such a success. The free
swim is also intended to encourage parents to start exercising with
their children,” explained Tracy Kenneally, Operations Manager at
Aura Youghal Leisure Centre.
“Aura Youghal is well known as the place where children learn
and love to swim and Aura Swim Academy has become the first
choice for youngsters who want to learn this valuable life skill,”
Tracy added.
Aura Youghal is also experiencing a marked increase in the num-
ber of parents and adults enrolling in swimming classes and in the
past year, its fully qualified gym instructors have taught 185 adults
to swim or to improve their swimming skills.
“We cater for all ages with classes for parents and toddlers and
under fours while Aura Swim Academy provides a bright and pos-
itive learning environment with classes which are designed to
build children’s confidence and self esteem,” Tracy explained.
“Swimming is a fantastic way to keep children occupied and to
enjoy quality time as a family.
It allows children to burn off energy and to improve their swim-
ming skills while also providing an opportunity for parents who
don’t exercise that regularly to improve their fitness,” she contin-
ued.
“The real reason why swimming has become so popular in
Youghal is because our classes take place in a fun, non-competi-
tive environment. Aura Swim Academy is also seen as the ideal
solution for parents seeking to maintain a child’s interest in sport
and exercise in instances where the child’s ability may have been
the cause of a bad experience at a sports club,” she added.
Children completing the 10 week Aura Swim Academy are also
progressing to the Aura Rookie Lifeguard course which equips
youngsters with all the skills they require to save lives while also
providing them with a solid foundation should they wish to under-
take professional lifeguard training in the future.
“We are hoping that all 3,000 free swim offers will be taken up
before the offer expires on October 31st. Each voucher gives fam-
ilies the opportunity to save €4.20 and we look forward to cele-
brating our success with our many customers,” Tracy added.
Further information about any of the swimming classes taking
place at Aura Youghal are available by telephoning its swim
instructors at 024 91614.

We are happy ot announce that "After School Art" taking place in
the beautiful setting of the glass annex are well underway.
Students began on Tuesday October 6th with a lesson in Portrait
Painting & Self Portraits. Each student was equipped with a
sketch book and a hand held mirror and learned to sketch the pro-
portions of their faces, referencing and learning about The Mona
Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci.
The background of the Mona
Lisa is an imaginery land-
scape. In this instance, the
Ferrypoint, which is a driect
view from where the students
are sitting, will be a starting
point for the develpoment of
their imaginery background.
The final drawing will be
transferred to heavy water-
colour paper, where students
will paint it using oil paints
and watercolours. 'Students
will also learn to sculpt their
self protraits from clay over
the following weeks' says
artist Diane Magee, so keep

Last chance to get tickets for
the greatest family comedian of our time, Brendan Grace, present-
ing 38 years in the comedy business, performing at The Mall Arts
Centre, for one night only, on Tuesday next, October 20th at 8pm.
Brendan's latest show features some brand new material and some
'Old Favourites'. His sense of timing and ability to read an audi-
ence is without equal. Apart from his obvious 'star quality' in all
aspects of his performance, Brendan's drawing power is enor-
mous.
Brendan has managed to attract a younger audience mainly
because the content of his show is very 'Family' and also because
of his hilarious appearance in Father Ted when he played the part
of a drinking. smoking, troublemaker extraordinaire Father Fintan
Stack.? As always and especially nowadays, it is advisable to
secure your Brendan Grace ticket when he appears in your area.
A handful of tickets are still on sale at Crees Card Shop, 117 North
Main Street, Youghal at a recession beating price of €25. For
more details contact Oona on 083 360 6507.

A two-handed exploration of the life and times of Irish poet
Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967) as seen through the eyes of Hilda
Moriarty (later to become Hilda O'Malley), the inspiration of
Kavanagh famous On Raglan Road.
Considered by many to be the greatest Irish poet since Yeats, the
play takes in Kavanagh's early life as a small farmer in Monaghan
to his early years struggling as a poet in Dublin and London and
finishing with final recognition.

 OCTOBER COMMUNITY ALERT MEETING
By Christy Parker
A full-time garda community officer will be appointed to Youghal
& district next month. Community Alert PRO Sergeant John
Sharky told the October meeting at the Walter Raleigh that inter-
views will take place in the coming weeks and the appointment
will be filled for November 16th. The position is being internally
advertised and while the successful candidate may be appointed
from outside the jurisdiction, general practice suggests he or she
will be appointed from within the Youghal force. "The communi-
ty garda will be very evident in the town and will, generally, be the
public face of the Garda in the area," explained the sergeant.
Underage drinking
One of the main challenges facing the now appointment will be
that of underage drinking. Sergeant Sharkey described the problem
as a major issue in Youghal and one giving rise to consequential
problems such as fighting, public order offences, wanton criminal
damage and abusive behaviour. He described a particularly worry-
ing occasion on the day prior to the Lisbon Treaty referendum
when several students availed of school half day to get drunk. "I
encountered two 15 year-old girls outside the garda station at 5pm
and drinking vodka and cider," he recalled.
"They were heading for the off licence to try to purchase more
alcohol for their friends," he added.
The garda also described addressing transition year students at
Pobalscoil prior to the Junior Cert results. Despite a satisfactory
talk and advising of the illegality of drinking to celebrate their
results, some students were upfront that that was exactly what they
were going to do. "There is a culture of teenage drinking out
there," he observed. "Drugs are a big problem in town but its
underage drinking that is repeatedly hitting us almost on a daily
basis. Last week we had a serious incident at the golf club which
evolved from underage drinking on the course," he elaborated.
The depth of the problem was further illustrated when a mother in
attendance said her 13 year-old was recently offered vodka by a
classmate. She also knew of an 11 year-old who was worryingly
familiar with what the alcohol industry had to offer. Another in
attendance had moved to Youghal from a problematic city suburb
only to be shocked by the drink and drug culture encountered by
her children in Youghal.
Treasurer and town councillor Michael Beecher wondered where
teens were getting the money to purchase alcohol. "They may pool
their resources or perhaps take money or alcohol from home, "
said Sergeant Sharkey, who advised that parents check their drink-
ing cabinets regularly.
Crime and gangs
Sergeant Sharkey delivered the recorded crime incidents over the
previous month. It read as follows: minor assaults (3), serious
assaults (4), criminal damage incidents (11), drunk driving (2),
drugs for own possession (3), public order offences (13), thefts
from cars (7 -including two each from cars and shops).
The sergeant said the level of recorded crime was down from last
year but that thefts from shops had increased. He said organised
gangs were targeting the large supermarkets with particular
emphasis on alcohol and electronic/DVD merchandise, for which
there were easy markets. The gangs, often east European, were
equipped to avoid security detection.
Also equipped -and extremely so- were the raiders who targeted
five premises at Millennium Industrial Estate recently. The ser-
geant reported that no arrests had been made in connection with
the raids. "They were carried out by a very professional gang, well
armed with the necessary tools equipment and driving high-pow-
ered cars. They are targeting towns throughout Munster. They
know their rights, including their right to silence and it will be very
difficult to catch and charge them, especially without forensic evi-
dence."
Halloween
With last year's mindless mayhem still fresh in the memories (it
actually sparked the formation of Community Alert) there was
concern as to this year's event. Sergeant Sharkey said the station
would be forwarding a plan to the Superintendent, which included
a request for increased extra manpower.
Amidst various observations from the floor, the sergeant reminded
that most young culprits "are not criminals. They just get caught
up in the mood of the night and fall victim to peer pressure to join
in." That said, others "seem to think they are following some sort
of tradition and can do what they like on the night," he said. He
asked that, "parents be aware of where their children are on the
night and what they are doing. Better still," he suggested, "keep
them indoor if possible because it is just a recipe for danger to oth-
ers and to themselves."
Drug addiction
Prior to the general business, Youghal Community Drugs co-ordi-
nator Eric Trihy delivered an informative assessment of the town's
drug issues. His work had convinced him that there is a very seri-
ous level of drug abuse prevalent in Youghal. He said it transcend-
ed abuse of most types of drugs. Cocktails of illegal and prescribed
drugs, plus alcohol are also commonly consumed. Mr. Trihy
explained that the abuse prevailed across all sections of society.
While accepting its occasional worth in therapeutic practice, he
dismissed the naive and commonly held view that cannabis is
harmless, testifying that debilitating, long-term psychosis is a
common repercussion from its persistent use or abuse of particu-
lar strains. "People who think otherwise should visit the Cork hos-
pital where young teens are being treated for psychosis," he urged.
Every town's drug epidemic is but a congregation of individual
stories and Mr. Trihy emphasised that no matter what aid or advice
is available, it is useless unless the individual is actively commit-
ted to availing of it. He said families, understandably, often assist-
ed with solving the ramifications of drug abuse by paying debts,
etc on the victim's behalf. This served also to postpone the hour of
truth when reality was faced and recovery was thus denied. He
also spoke of recovery entering reverse when a reformed drug user
feels secure after some time and returns to the habit on a one-off
basis, only to lose control again. "People's tolerance levels differ
wildly," he elaborated. "I'm not painting drugs as Devil incarnate.
Some people can withstand the effects but very many can't." The
drugs worker expressed disappointment that a previous night's
information forum for young people had been poorly attended.
However, it bears contemplating that someone with a drug prob-
lem may feel disinclined to attend a public forum from fear that in
doing so they would be advertising their situation. Meanwhile
individuals or families affected directly or otherwise by drug
usage can contact Eric Trihy in strict confidence, on 086-3842183.
Attendances
The meeting was less well attended than more recent gatherings.
One member present said a neighbour had informed him of con-
cerns he would like aired but resisted the advice to attend a meet-
ing and air them himself. "I told him my previous impression of
law enforcement had changed for the better, that problems are gen-
uinely considered and that everything is confidential," said the
speaker. It could perhaps be argued that few people in Youghal, for
all its worries, are directly or seriously affected by crime and thus
less inclined to leave their homes to attend an hour-long meeting
at the end of town. Nonetheless the meetings provide a worthy,
communal platform for the public to express their views and par-
take in the town's security and social wellbeing.
Some new faces were evident on the night however. On foot of
invitation letters, a representative from Cumann na Daoine,
Youghal Communications Ltd. (CRY) and the County Council
were present. It emerged that no response was forthcoming from
the Chamber of Commerce, somewhat ironically, given the current
increase in crimes against businesses and property.
The next meeting will form the group's AGM, at which officers
will be elected from all who attend. It will be held at the Walter
Raleigh at 8pm on November 24th.

concern shown was truly incredible'" said Fr, Keane. "People
arrived at the door with money, gifts and clothes." Some shop-
keepers refused to take money for goods. A party was held. A
fundraising drive saw an autographed Cork football jersey auc-
tioned and drinkers across the town's pubs gave generously to col-
lections.
Ever more touchingly, throughout her revival the little girl herself
displayed an awareness and concern for her family back in
Ecuador. She repeatedly asked that her older brother and sister
back home had enough to eat in the wooden shack they call home.

DIARY OF A TRANSITION YEAR STUDENT
AT POBALSCOIL NA TRÍONÓIDE
First Day Back At School
Day one and those teachers are already trying to "motivate" us,
Canice Kennedy, a sports psychologist, came to meet with us and
he gave us an amazing presentation. We really enjoyed it, as we
never had a motivational speaker before. He explained to us that
we can all have dreams, no matter how different they are from our
friends. He tried to motivate us to achieve them, by telling us to
write them on paper, and to take small steps, but everyday take a
step. We all felt that we can achieve, and surpass other people's
expectations of us.
Talk with Aisling Judge
Aisling Judge also came to meet with us on day one, Aisling has
won the Young Scientist Competition in 2006. She explained how
to entered the competition and gave us a great insight into how
interesting science really can be. She told us, how to prepare a
detailed description of our project and most importantly the tips for
impressing the judges… The speech she gave us was so natural and
it did inspire some of our friends to take part in the competition.
School Mass: On Thursday 17th September we all brought our-
selves, our chairs and our friends and joined Fr. Relihan to cele-
brate beginning of the school year. Canon Browne came to our
school and joined Fr. Relihan in celebrating Mass. For me it is the
real beginning of the school year. For the last few days before
Mass, myself and my friends could here the songs begin sung and
the music being played. The atmosphere was being set. Everybody
came together to arrange and decorate the hall Fr. Relihan created
a beautiful and holy atmosphere and some how made the Mass spe-
cial to the full congregation, which was nearly 950 people.
Youghal Radio: Watch out Gerry Ryan! the DJs of the future are

the Transition Year classes. Declan went on to explain what the
idea of Youghal radio is, and how we can get involved. We shared
some of our "expert" ideas on how he could improve this service
and he listened and took them on board.
Hope Foundation: The HOPE Foundation meets with all
Transition Year students. HOPE Foundation is an organisation that
fundraises and travels to help the homeless in Calcutta. Ann and
Heidi came to speak to us. Their speech opened our eyes and made
us realise the poverty of the children in the city of Calcutta. They
showed us a very moving video which contained the horror of peo-
ple's lives that live in such extreme poverty in Calcutta. They are
organising a trip out to Calcutta in March and have invited some of
us to join them on the trip, but in order for us to do so we must raise

 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL OCTOBER MEETING
By Christy Parker
Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from the Monthly Meeting
of Youghal Town Council held on 14th September 2009.
YOUGHAL QUAY WALLS/TOWN WALLS PROJECT:
Both projects are proceeding at pace and are due to be completed in their
entirety by the end of October next, which is within the terms of both con-
tracts. These stabilisation works will be of tremendous benefit to both
these natural asset into the future. I acknowledge the members concerns
at the condition of the roadway adjacent to the Greens Quay wall repair
sections and can confirm that this section of roadway will be completely
reinstated as part of the contract works.
IBAL LEAGUE RESULTS 1ST ROUND:
Youghal has achieved third position nationally in the initial round of the
IBAL league results and has been deemed to be "clean to European
norms". This is the first time that we have made the top three nationally
of this competition and favourably reflects a lot of the hard work being
done locally by staff & public alike.
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR HISTORIC CORE AREA:
Arising out of last months deputation from the Church Street Residents
Association and equally the circularised correspondence with the
DeValera Street Residents. I am endeavouring to have a Draft Traffic
Management Plan ready for presentation to the members for the
November meeting. The sites have been visited by Eileen Coleman, a
Traffic Management Engineer with Cork County Council and she is cur-
rently preparing the new proposals. I have emphasised in my briefing that
this plan needs to address the various issues raised by all the residents of
the areas and restore some much needed quality of life to the concerned
areas. The draft plan once presented will then be made available for pub-
lic comment and written submissions.
YOUGHAL TOWN CENTRE PAINTING SCHEME:
Mr. Sean McLoughlin, Senior Architect with Cork County Council will
give a presentation to the members at the November meeting of the
Council in relation to the success of the Town Centre Painting Scheme.
The Members will then be in a position to gauge the success of the proj-
ect with a view to extending same into 2010 subject to the availability of
adequate funding.
FINANCIAL MATTERS:
I refer to my previous months report on the Town Council Budget which
showed a funding deficit of €103,350. At the close of September which
represents 75% of the current financial year, expenditure amounted to
€3,128,942 an increase of €190,111 over the previous month. Income on
the other hand amounted to €3,054,291 an increase of €218,810 over the
previous month. This represents a funding deficit of €74,651.00 which is
€28,699 lower than at the end of August. This reduction represents a sig-
nificant trend reversal and is staring to show the improvements arising out
of the cut backs agreed at the July meeting of the Council.
The situation is being monitored on a daily and weekly basis currently
and this level of intensity will continue over the next three months. I
would like to draw your attention to my request at the previous Budget
meeting and last months meeting that the members should consider rev-
enue generating proposals for inclusion in the forthcoming budget for
2010. I have received no proposals to date. Failure to produce new fund-
ing streams will definitely result in new expenditure cuts in 2010 which
may result in further staff reductions. Should this happen it will seriously
affect the Council's ability to deliver services and put under threat all that
has been achieved in previous years.
Congratulations:
Cllr Eoin Coyne congratulated Youghal Under-16 "hurlers" (he meant
footballers shurly!) for demolishing their Killeagh counterparts by 3-11 to
0-4 in the east Cork Juvenile football final. Cllr Donie Daly paid tribute
to the Youghal Cycling Club -and by inference all local participants- who
partook in the recent inaugural Race Around Ireland Cycle event on
behalf of the Emer Casey Foundation. Cllr Sammy Revins congratulated
Youghal Golf Club on winning the Munster Championship having, he
said, omitted to mention it at the previous meeting. He realised they had
subsequently lost in the All Ireland finals. Mayor Sandra McLellan gave
credit to Youghal Celebrates History group for the recent weekend con-
ference that, she said, was very well attended. Cllr Michelle Hennessy
congratulated Cllr Coyne on his 21st birthday last Friday.
Town Foreman's Report:
Cllr Barbara Murray asked if some bollards had been removed from New
Catherine Street and also wondered where the sign for the street had gone.
She also asked that the arrows on Nealon's Quay car park be painted, even
if the car spaces are not to be re-outlined.
Cllr Michael Beecher asked that paving and the gutter near the CYMS be
repaired. He condemned dog fouling especially at early morning and
PAGE 1
evening time. He criticised unsociable behaviour by humans at Keane
Park and North Abbey before concluding that people were being intimi-
dated while paying respects to their loved ones by others climbing the
walls to gain entrance out of hours.
Cllr Hennessy spoke of a serious problem with rats at Chestnut Drive. She
called on council to out down poison, particularly at the front entrance
where the problem was most manifest. The councillor said the public light
was gone on the Green for the third time and residents were keen to have
it fixed before Halloween.
Cllr Daly acknowledged the council staff for combating graffiti, which,
he said, was springing up overnight. He also thanked them for a job well
done on the Mill Road roundabout. He too condemned anti-social behav-
iour in the graveyard and observed that businesses were concerned about
property as the annual degenerate Halloween 'celebrations' approached.
Cllr Liam Burke reminded that the diving board needed to be brought in.
He also noted that the Clock Gate clock is "giving out false information"
by chiming out of sync with the real time.
Cllr Coyne said drivers at Belmont Terrace on the Upper Strand cannot
view the road clearly on exiting their drives and asked that a mirror be
installed on the opposite pole to assist them.
Cllr Revins said Toymasters would like the bollards outside their premis-
es to be converted to 'drop bollards' to facilitate Christmas deliveries. He
said presently delivery trucks were parking at the rear of the property and
delivering by the Mall Lane.
Cllr Mary Linehan Foley thanked the council, on behalf of residents for
the racked off area at Dr Kennedy's Place but added that a small bit of
kerbing needed to be completed. She asked that a sign be erected or even
a notice painted on a wall to alert people to the free parking at Catherine
Street as many strangers don't realise it. Signs were needed at the town's
entrances advising of the free hour street parking at lunchtime, along with
free car parking. Town Clerk Liam Ryan said, ominously, that an upcom-
ing meeting on paid parking review might alter that situation!
Cork County Council Items:
Town County Councillor Barbara Murray said she had raised the issue of
public lighting at Foxhole at the recent Midleton Area Roads. Describing
the area as a "particularly black spot," she asked Town Engineer Paul
Murray to assist in making the issue a priority with the ESB, especially as
a new undertakers was due to commence business there, heralding a lot of
activity.
Cllr Beecher said there was a dip in the road "the width of two lorry
wheels" at the top of Sarsfield's Terrace. He drew the Town Engineer's
attention to flooding at Quarry Road and reminded him that it is prevalent
throughout the road, not just as section of it. Mr. Murray said there was
"no funding available" to repair it. Cllr Beecher continued that hedging on
the Inch Road beyond Kilnatoora was intruding onto the road and, with
school buses traversing the area, needed rectifying.
Cllr Hennessy pointed out that the entrance to Copperally from Quarry
Road needed reflectors to alert people in the dark that there is an entrance.
Quarryvale
Cllr Daly asked what consequence was it for Youghal that the
NRA had taken control of some secondary roads. The Town Clerk
said there is an ongoing debate regarding this issue and as soon as
he receives clarification on the proposed allocation of grants to the
NRA's secondary roads section, he would inform him. Cllr Daly
asked, tersely, for an update on the proposed work to render safe
the exits onto the main road at Quarryvale, where drivers have
their vision obstructed by illegally parked vehicles, whose drivers
in turn usually access Crowley's shop.
The Town engineer said he is "doing a land search" on who owns
the property on the north side of the area and when he had that fin-
ished he'd do likewise regarding the south side. He would talk to
the owners and make proposals then. He said he would "expedite"
it as fast as he could, though funding, as always, may be an issue.
Cllr Burke said the twinning signs at either end of the town need-
ed cleaning. He yet again inquired as to the missing concealed
entrance sign for Summerdale Lawn. He drew attention to man-
hole work being done at the greyhound track that is carries neither
warning sign nor reflectors on the rail surrounding it. The council-
lor asked for information on Redbarn's Blue Flag potential having
been on probation this past summer. The Town Manager, Patricia
Power said she expected news from An Taisce in late October and
remained "hopeful." Cllr Burke concluded with a request -often
made- for an update on progress for a new Youghal library.
Cllr Revins asked if the County Council intended making the New
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL OCTOBER MEETING
request -often made- for an update on progress for a new Youghal library.
Cllr Revins asked if the County Council intended making the New Line
safer for children, citing it as "very dangerous" and needing footpaths,
Landfill charges
Cllr Linehan Foley referred to the "dip" at the top of Sardfield's terrace as
"more of a crater." She recalled a Motion she had unanimously approved
by the Council last May pertaining to objecting to the County Council's
€3 entrance fee to the landfill. She wondered had it ever been debated, or
even considered in County Hall. The councillor said the charge was total-
ly unfair, especially given that recycling was introduced and aired as
"supposedly free." She added that illegal dumping has increased since its
introduction as hard-pressed householders struggle to pay it. The council-
lor urged that the issue be re-addressed to the County Council. Cllr
Murray interceded that the matter of entrance fee to landfills was "huge-
ly debated" at County Hall but objections were dismissed on the basis that
funds were needed to run landfills and to install new facilities such as
Bottle hill.
The Town Manager said that re-cycling was just another waste disposal
method but not necessarily a free one. Cllr Linehan Foley begged to dif-
fer, saying the information intimated at the time contradicted that view.
Cllr Foley also alluded to people claiming to have been charged to dis-
pose of electrical items at the site, contrary to advertised policy. The
chamber roundly condemned this alleged practice and it is to be investi-
gated.
Cllr Revins sought an update on the often-mentioned, much-desired and
long- awaited Youghal Main Drainage Scheme. The Town Manager said
the County Engineer is keen to address the Council -perhaps in
December- on the issue and that it is a priority on his 'assessment of needs'
list for submission to Cork County Council. The Town Clerk reminded
that government funding would remain a crucial obstacle to be cleared
nonetheless. Cllr Revins (FF) decided it would be FG problem in that
case!
Mayor's Business:
Mayor McLellan confirmed that the civic reception to honour the 50th
anniversary of the Kathleen Keniry School of Dancing would occur on
November 14th. (Contrary to misinterpretation, Ms Keniry is not retir-
ing). A similar reception for local lad made GAA President, Christy
Cooney, will take place on November 19th.
The Mayor said she and Cllr Beecher had attended a Fair Trade confer-
ence in Ballymun recently and arising from that, it is being mooted to
hold a future Fair Trade conference in Youghal. 'Conferences mean bod-
ies in beds", noted a delighted Cllr Murray, averting to tourism. Mayor
McLellan paid tribute to drugs co-ordinators Eric Trihy and Gordon
Kinsley for their efforts expounded in the recent drugs awareness week.
She said the two wished to liaise with the council and, as councillors can't
always easily attend public meetings, she has invited them to make a short
presentation at a future council meeting.
Report by Cllr. Linehan Foley on the Tidy Towns Task Force.
Cllr Linehan's detailed Adjudication Report on the Tidy Town's
Competition 2009 will be conveyed in a later edition. The report howev-
er sparked a strong rebuke from Cllr Beecher on owners of 'derelict sites'
and question as to 'what is being done about them?' Town Clerk Liam
Ryan said he had provided a list of potential derelict sites and was wait-
ing for the Town Architect's report before proceeding further. Cllr
Beecher said he believed people bought properties and then just left them
for want of finances and alleged that some owners "don't give a hoot"
about their properties.
Mr. Ryan claimed the number of such sites had declined considerably in
recent years before outlining a two-pronged tactic designed to eradicate
them. The council's painting scheme was a grant-aided carried that
showed people what to do and that had uplifted a lot of degenerating
facades. A stick, by way of the Derelict Sites Act was also being
employed to pull property owners into line. While the carrot was showing
very positive effect, the stick was a "cumbersome" piece of legislation, as
the Town Manager Patricia Power described it. She said the County
Council was becoming more systematic in employing it and would con-
tinue to seek court proceedings but that prevention of descent into dere-
liction (that be the carrot) was preferable. "Some properties only need a
good power hosing," said Cllr Murray.
Cllr Beecher said the residents were doing up their premises but others
had come into town, bought property and let them degenerate. Cllr Daly
cited Clancy's as an example of extraordinary eyesore at the entrance to
town. Mr Ryan said one could never eradicate all such sites and that the
recession added the problem. He promised Cllr Beecher a copy of the
legal definition of a derelict site "and that will change your mind."
Clancy's it emerged would be merely "borderline" by legal definition.
(Nobody questioned as to the likely status of the Moll Goggin's apartment
PAGE 2
complex next door to it unfortunately!)
In conclusion, Mr Ryan surmised that a 3% levy on the owner of a derelict
site means nothing if the banks have control of it and the owner is unable
to pay. "And its only collectable after the property is sold," observed the
Town Manager.
Draft Policy Document of the Provision and Content on Pre-Tenancy
Courses:
A report on this issue will follow in a future edition. Meanwhile Town
Clerk Liam Ryan explained that the courses would explain what is
involved for both council and tenants regarding maintenance, manage-
ment and responsibilities pertaining to properties. Issues such as anti-
social behaviour, waste management, rent payment, property purchasing,
etc would also be addressed. He believed that Youghal enjoyed the best
council estate standards in the county and associated this with RAPID,
conscientious tenants and residents associations, whom it "was a privilege
to work with." He said people are actively working with the council and
praised commitment to estate care "beyond their front door and into the
common green areas."
Cllr Daly welcomed the courses but asked that the public be informed as
to the method of procedure and selection when local authority houses are
being allocated. It was agreed that such information would be submitted
to the Youghal News in due course.
Draft Bye Laws on the Prohibition of the Consumption of
Intoxicating Liquor in Streets and Public Places Within the Urban
District of Youghal.
Cllr Revins opened the discussion by suggesting that should this Draft
legislation be accepted on the night, then Cork County Council would be
invited to extend its remit to the Slob Bank and Claycastle. The chamber
subsequently accepted the Draft document and it will now be subject to
public submissions for six weeks. It will then be returned to the council
and formally adopted with or without amendment. Cork County Council
can then be asked to invoke it, said the Town Clerk.
The bye-law is effectively intended to counteract underage drinking and
anti-social behaviour reflective of on-street alcohol abuse. It states that a
person cannot consume intoxicating liquor on any street or public place
or be in possession of any opened container of intoxicating liquor in such
places, except in certain circumstances, such as specific patrons seated
tables outside a licensed public house or restaurant, etc.
A fixed fine of €30 will be imposed for contravening the bye-law.
Subsequent failure to pay this fine within 21 days will lead to court pro-
ceedings with a penalty not exceeding €650 on conviction. Appropriate
signage will be erected. The Town Clerk explained that the council would
supply fine books to the gardai who issue the fines. Subsequent revenue
would be forwarded to the council.
While the bye-law was broadly welcomed, there was some discussion as
to its application. Cllr Burke sought and was granted, to have the term
"seashore" inserted within the definition of a public place. This, he said,
would enforce the legislation from Gael Scoil corner to Green Park.
Cans an decanters
Cllr Murray wanted clarification that the law would not be enforced
against people, perhaps even tourists, enjoying a "glass of wine during a
picnic on the beach." Cllr Linehan Foley reacted vociferously to this argu-
ment, stridently insisting that the law should apply equally to the "wine
and caviar" set and the "God-help-us poor shagger with a can of cider sit-
ting alongside me." The point, considerably illustrated, proved as difficult
to dislodge, as would presumably the man with the cider. Cllr Murray
sought to paint of scene of idyllic middle-class responsibility in scenic
circumstance, while Cllr Linehan Foley continued to expound on the
potential discrimination against the common or garden imbiber (albeit
legally) swallowing two cans of cider in the open air lounge of the Green
Park! She even feared distinction being made between not just location
but beverage, with the "poshy-poshy" wine pourer enjoying greater toler-
ance than the beer can connoisseur.
Cllr Hennessy raised the nightmare prospect of on-street drinking being
illegal during a street festival such as Youghal enjoyed in recent times
past. A silence not dissimilar to that which settles when a garda raids a
pub at 2.30am (or so I'm told), followed. "Its up to the discretion of the
enforcing authority," decided the Town Clerk, though perhaps not from
experience. The upcoming submissions may prove interesting, as some-
one remarked.
Motion in the name of Cllr. McLellan seconded by Cllr. Hennessy,
"That Youghal Town Council calls on Cork County Council to provide
public toilets with wheelchair accessible facilities in the Strand Area in
Youghal":
Mayor McLellan said it was an issue that was repeatedly being raised. She
said she had received various complaints from residents and visitors and
that it was unacceptable in modern times not to have a wheelchair acces-

Ballymacoda Hunt Fun Ride
Ballymacoda Hunt held their first fun ride on Sunday 4th Oct in
aid of Kilcredan national school. There was a large turnout of hors-
es and pony’s from local clubs and as far away as West Cork,
Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford. It was a beautiful day with
glorious sunshine and fantastic underfoot conditions. A large
crowd from toddlers to pensioners followed the ride from
Ballymacoda on to Gortavada crossing the road on for the
Glendine and the open country of Warren and Ballycrennane with
some lovely natural banks, drains and cross country jumps while
looking out to Ballycotton Bay. They took to the road onto
Ballymakeigh and Mountcotton for some more banks and double
ditches. The pace slowed down at this stage to let horses catch
their breath and the riders to view the breathtaking cliff top views
of Ballycotton Bay. At this point the followers scrambled for a
good vantage point at the last jump before the half time break for
refreshments. Large spread of drinks and crisps were quickly
devoured by the hungry mob of riders, followers and stewards. At
this point some had enough and were going home others were tak-
ing the short route to the beach and the majority went on to face a
large variety of cross country fences in Glenawilling and
Knockadoon. When they reached the castle both horses and riders
where glad of a breather as they turned for home they ambled
along a pathway through the furs while looking down on
Knockadoon pier, picturesque Capel island and Youghal Bay. Then
a short step up the road and the much awaited beach trek was
insight, down a narrow laneway and Greenland Beach was within
reach. Both sweaty horses and riders could not wait to get into the
water, the stewards told the anxious riders this was only a warm
up for the main beach. With little delay they were on the move
again. By this time a large crowd had gathered in Ring to see the
riders come onto the beach, there was a buzz in the air as people
watched with anticipation to see where and when the horses would
come into view, you could hear people asking the stewards where
they nearly here! Then like out of a cave came horse and ponies of
all sizes colours and shapes appeared, as they passed the spectators
a big cheer went out, they then galloped into the water and along
the beach. It was a wonderful sight to behold. The ride was nearly
over, as they made there way back to the village people talked
about the great day they had and the wonderful sights they had
seen. Then it was back to the boxes, get unsaddled and rub down
their mount and then across to Finns Tavern for some delicious
soup and sandwiches and a drink or two while they watched them-
selves on telly courtesy of the video footage shot on the day.
Ballymacoda Hunt would like to thank all those who took part in
the Fun Ride, we hope you enjoyed your day in Ballymacoda.
Photo’s and DVD’s are available on request from; 086-2491173.
We would especially like to thank land owners on which the ride
took place and for their help and cooperation on erecting fences, to
all the stewards on the day, ladies and gents who gave out the
refreshments, for the hard working committee, for all those who
supplied fences, for our camera man, photographer, those who
took the entries, the ladies who prepared the soup and sandwiches
and all those who kindly sponsored riders.

leagues refrain from conducting "full blown conversations" while the
Town Clerk, the Mayor or the Town Manager are addressing the chamber.

he observed. Drawing a line between talk and debate, he described hold-
ing loud conversations while an official or councillor is endeavouring to
explain something as "rude and ignorant." Cllr Murray said she had "no
problem with his suggestion" and the point was broadly understood.

Weekend Spins.
As you are all well aware by now, there is a weekly spin every
Sunday morning at 9.00am sharp leaving from Moby Dicks Pub by
the Clock Gate. This spin which runs on various routes every week
usually takes between 2 to 3 hours and covers on average between
50 & 70km ( 35 & 50 miles ). The pace is comfortable and we usu-
ally stop half way around for a coffee or tea.
A second group also goes on a weekly spin every Sunday morning
at 10.00am sharp leaving from Moby Dicks Pub by the Clock Gate.
This spin which runs on various routes every week usually takes
around 2 hours to complete and covers on average between 30 &
40km ( 20 & 25 miles ). The pace is again very comfortable.
This is the perfect time for someone new to start with the group.
With a steady pace and friendly people you are assured of an enjoy-
able spin. New members or visitors to the area are always wel-
come. If you have any questions about the club or attending one of
our weekend spins, please contact our Club Secretary Jonathan at

counties in Carraig na bhFear on Sunday 4th October. An excel-
lent course was set up by the host club Carraig na bhFear; ground
conditions were hard due to dry weather conditions which led to
some fast racing on the day. The weather was glorious with abun-
dance of sunshine. The club had many new athletes competing and
all excelled on their first day out. The club had seven teams
entered and all displayed tremendous team work which was con-
veyed in the results. Boys U/10 County Team Champions

The Girls U/12 team included Jennifer Hennessy who had an out-
standing race to win the County title in a convincing fashion. She
was followed home by Rachel Dunne in 7th place just outside the
individual medals, Emily O' Keefe in 9th place, Chloe O' Keefe

did very well running up an age. The girls won second team proze

place in a big field. The boys won third team prize which was an
excellent result.
The club had two girls in the G/14 race, Rebecca Walsh and Katie
Nolan who are also very new to the club. Both girls put in very
solid performances and are improving by the week. They finished
in the top twelve which is a very good result or their first race.
The Boys U/14 team participated in a very competitive field dom-
inated by Togher AC athletes. However two of our athletes Jennifer Hennessy winning Girls U/12
Boys U/16 Bronze Team medalists race
secured themselves bronze individual medals; Billy Dunne run-

encouraging!
The Girls U/16 team included Emma Flavin who had a superb race
storming in the finish in 4th place very close to Helena Noonan of
Gr Fermoy. She was followed nby Ciara Broderick-Farrell in 7th

U21 HURLING CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINAL
YOUGHAL 0-13 V ST. CATHERINES 0-9
Congratulation to our U21 Hurlers on reaching the East Cork Final
after beating St. Catherines on Saturday last. Unfortunately I don't

Under 16 East Cork Football Final
Youghal 3-11 Killeagh 0-04
On Saturday 10th October our Under 16 footballers travelled to
Aghavine to take on our near neighbours Killeagh in the final of
the East Cork B Championship.
Right from the start our lads took control of the game with Colin
Sheehan scoring 2-1 in the first 7 minutes, the first goal came after
great work by Ryan Lane & Ronan O’Sullivan, with the second
goal set up by David O’Mahony & Cillan Ansbro. Our half back
line of Ronan O’Sullivan, David Twomey & Killan O’Callaghan
started to dominate the game and the midfield pair of Ryan Lane
& Aaron Daly putting in a hugh amount of work Youghal pushed
on with the talented Aaron O’Connor kicking over 2 points either
side of Ross Desmonds point. Then with 3 minutes to half time
more good work by Aaron O’Conner set up the industrious
Edward Dillon for a well taken goal.
The second half saw Killeagh starting brighter, but with the
impressive Andrew Curtin at full back, helped by Lee McCarthy
& Gareth O’Regan in the corners & David Cashman in Goals kept
Killeagh at bay. In the 40th minute Conor Farrell was introduced
and made an immediate contribution. Two minutes later Colin
Sheehan kicked over 2 points and the Killeagh challenge faded.
Mark Coady and Stephen Sheehan were introduced for the last
quarter. The final whistle saw the Youghal boys celebrate in style.
Captain Aaron Daly accepting the cup on behalf of his teammates
thanked Killeagh for a sporting game. This is a great achievement
by the lads who have put in a lot of hard work this year under John
parker and his team of Mikey O’Regan, Barry Ring & John Grace.
Well Done lads and best of luck in the county next week Vs Mill

CLAYCASTLE
PITCH AND PUTT CLUB
The club strokeplay was played for over last weekend.After the 36
holes on Saturday Martin Keohane led the field after an imperious
14under par to give him a nett score of 14up and a 3up lead over
Colin Sheehan in 2nd.Martins return of -14 was one of the great-
est scores ever recorded in Claycastle in what can only be
described as a gale of wind.Sundays final 18 saw great excitment
by the leaders as they pulled away from the field to make it a two
horse race.In tricky conditions both Martin and Colin tied for the
lead on 17up and so faced into a 3 hole playoff.Martin held a one
shot lead playing the last hole the new and treacherous 6th
hole,Martin secured his comfortable par and looked liked taking
the title before Colin holed a fantastic 15 footer across the slope to
force sudden death.Colin failed with his atempt for a two on the
7th and left the the way for Martin to take the title, he duly obliged
by hammering in his putt for a two.The tournament proved to be a
great sucess and provided an excelent spectacle by two of
Claycastles finest.
Our AGM will be held in Tides Bar on Monday 19th October at
8.30 sharp.All members are asked to attend this important meet-
ing.This meeting is your chance to have your say on how the club
is run, hopefully we'll see some new faces going for positions this

JUNIOR B FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP. On friday night last
we travelled to to dungorney with a small band of vocal suporters
to see if we could advance to the quarter final stages of the com-
petition.The opening half ebbed and flowed both sides guilty of
wayward wides. We went three points clear before Dungorney
scored 1-1 in quick succession and we tacked on two more before
the break. Killeagh 0-5 to Dungorney 1-1 at half time. Someone
must have given them a good talking to at half time as we emerged
a different team. One of the younger members of the team Joe
Budds opened our goal scoring account and we tacked on another
7 points in the second half. But all was not over with the emer-
gence of young at heart team member Noel Long known as the
football head to many in Killeagh. Only 5 minutes on the park was
on the receiving end of a pass from John Walsh, never panicked
and slotted it into the right hand corner of the net and we emerged
victorious on the night. Well done to all concerned.

 CHRISTMAS PARTY TIME
If the budget comes out to be way over what you expected to spend,
SO YOU WANNA THROW critically revise your list. (Do you really need to personalize each
guest's paper cup?)
A CHRISTMAS PARTY? Expect to spend about €100 on food and drink alone-more if you're
entertaining more than ten people, and a lot more if you're planning to
In the past, you've gone to Christmas parties only to sing off-key have a party where people might get, shall we say, "sloshed" on the
Christmas carols and get drunk. But this year, instead of doing these eggnog.
things in a corner by yourself, why not get some friends and family Once you're at the supermarket, don't buy anything that's not on the
together and host the event? That way, you can subtly point out to all list, unless it's something important that you forgot. Impulse buys are
of your guests the many items that you need in your house that would the bane of a good budget. Have fun!
coincidentally make great Christmas gifts. So whether you want to
host an elaborate gala or a last-minute fiesta, this is the guide for you.
1. START PLANNING IN EARLY DECEMBER
If possible, you should start planning your party early; this is because
- as we're sure you've noticed - the month of December gets crazier
and crazier as the days go by. So it's a good idea to take care of all the
big things first (date, location, menu) and not worry about all the tiny
details until a couple of days before the big soiree.
Here are some things you should get done within the first two weeks
of December:
Make a guest list, Send out invitations
Plan a menu, Set a budget for food and decorations
Make a guest list
Invite only the number of people that you can handle. Remember that
because of all the present shopping you'll be doing this month, you'll
probably be on the verge of bankruptcy, so don't throw a shindig for
50 people if you can only afford to feed ten. Also take into account the
size of your place and the fact that some of your guests will probably
bring a friend or two without asking you. Finally, if you have to keep
your guest list short, then cut out your work friends - you'll probably
have a separate holiday party with them at the office/garage/zoo any-
way.
Send out invitations
Once you've settled on who you're going to invite, it's time to invite
them. Start inviting people as soon as possible because your guests
will probably be busy with their own holiday chores and will need a
lot of notice. Here are some rules on proper party-inviting so that you
don't commit some egregious faux pas you didn't even know existed:
Do all your inviting at once so that nobody feels like he/she was invit-
ed as an afterthought or a replacement for another guest who couldn't
make it. Either send out written invitations on the same day or just
pick up the phone (the method that we prefer). If all your guests are
technologically inclined (read: computer dorks), send out e-mail invi-
tations through sendomatic.com or evite.com. (But call anyone who
doesn't respond within a week, just in case).
Invite everybody yourself (as opposed to asking someone to pass the
message along to others) so that everyone at the party feels comfort-
able showing up.
If it's OK for your guests to bring dates or kids, indicate it on the invi-
tations; otherwise ask your guests to alert you in advance about any-
body they're bringing. In either case, you should ask your guest to
RSVP with an exact number of tag-alongs. It's not unreasonable for
you to know how many people to expect and prepare for.
Give clues so that people will know how to dress and what to expect
on the menu. Words like "causal" will indicate that jeans are OK,
while words like "fancy-shmancy" will create a different set of expec-
tations.
Set the date of your party on any Thursday night, Friday night,
Saturday, or Sunday before Christmas or on Christmas Eve. Most peo-
ple spend time with their families on Christmas Day, and after the
25th, everyone will be concentrating on New Year's, so don't plan on
throwing your party then.
Set a budget for food and decorations
Figure out exactly much you need before heading to the store - this
way you won't come away with 20 bags of miniature marshmallows
and a battery-operated belly-dancing Santa. Here's the way to do it:
Write down everything you definitely want to have and estimate a rea-
sonable cost next to it. Include everything from chip dip to poinset-
tias.
Always overprice when in doubt. If you think hot chocolate mix costs
between €2.00 to €3.00 a box, mark it down as €3.00. This way, you
won't be caught without enough money at the supermarket.
After you've made up your list, total the cost of all your items, and add
another 10% to the price. Don't forget the paper napkins, plasticware,
and extra toilet paper.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL
SHOWING AT YOUR OFFICE
CHRISTMAS PARTY
It’s that time of year again and the office party is looming. But
how do you make sure that one night letting loose with your work
colleagues doesn’t mean disaster on the career front in 2009?
Remember, just because your boss is footing the bill for the annu-
al team extravaganza, the Christmas party is still a business event
and we still have to watch our business manners. Here are 10 busi-
ness etiquette tips to survive the office Christmas party without
becoming the talk around the water cooler for all the wrong rea-
sons.
Check the dress code – make sure that you dress appropriately.
The office party is not the time to wear an outrageous outfit –
unless of course it is fancy dress. For women especially, remem-
ber that if you spend all year looking to establish your profession-
al credibility and get taken seriously by your work colleagues, you
don’t want to risk your professional reputation by your colleagues
and bosses talking about what you didn’t wear!
Get connected – the office party may be attended by senior lead-
ers in the organisation. Remember they are perhaps looking for-
ward to the party even less than you are. However one of the rea-
sons that many people don’t progress as fast as they would like in
their career is that they have little sponsorship inside the company
and they do not have an extensive network. Rather than spending
all night talking to your friends from your team, make the effort to
introduce yourself to the senior leadership team. Even your
finance director who said “bah humbug” about the expense of this
years party is more likely to become more affable when the party
gets going.

 CHRISTMAS PARTY TIME
Know the format – some Christmas parties are also the time to
mark key achievements in the year and you might even find there
are speeches made and presentations given. Make sure that you are
aware of this before the party so that if you are one of the people
to be honoured, you have a brief thank you speech ready but
remember to keep it brief as your colleagues will want to get back
to partying.
Watch the clock – remember to make sure that you know the time
the party will be starting, and while it is fashionable to be late at
events and no one wants to be propping up the bar for hours on end
before anyone turns up, you certainly don’t want to arrive when
desert is being served. And as for the right time to leave the gig,
be careful not to get the reputation of Cinderella and be one of the
first to leave the party, but equally make sure that you don’t get the
reputation for being the last one standing at the bar at the end of
the night – unless of course you are paying the bill.
Take it easy on the alcohol – yes the company may be footing the
bill, but the office Christmas party is not the time to build a repu-
tation for being able to drink everyone under the table. Enjoy
yourself but be sure that you can remember what you did the next
day. And don’t forget to organise a cab share – you definitely do
not want to risk loosing your driving licence through drinking and
driving.
Show thanks – at the end of the evening, do make sure you take
the time to seek out the people who organised the Christmas party.
They no doubt had to organise the event alongside a busy work
agenda and were probably nervous that everything would be
alright on the night. They will certainly appreciate the fact that the
party goers take the time to say thank you for all their hard work.
Follow these tips to navigate yourself through the season of good
cheer and you will be sure not to blot the copybook for your career
success in 2009.
