Our U16's had the second round of the Championship v Ballincollig
at Aghavine (thanks to Fr O Neill's for the use of their superb facil-
ities)on 18th Sept. It proved to be a very tough challenging match -
definitely a game of 2 halves! Ballincollig notched up 2-2 by half
while we faled to score. However the second half saw the girls in
much better form and we managed to hold Ballincollig scoreless
while we had good scores from Ciara Daly and Laura Tracey. Try
as they might our girls weren't able to claw back the advantage
Ballincollig accrued in the first half leaving us 3 points short at the
final whistle! While this may be the end of our Champoinship
hopes for this year we are still in the League.

Spring Flowering Bulbs
by Fiona Nolan
Bulbs are a wonderful way to start the season with a burst of
colour after a long cold winter. Nothing can compare with to first
sign of snowdrops to signal spring is on the way. However for me
my own personal favourites are as follows. Alliums, like tennis
balls on stems is how I can best describe these ornamental onions
which are loved by garden designers and are a Chelsea garden
stalwart.
Try Allium 'Purple sensation- for striking purple flowers perfect
for sunny borders, prairie style plains or in pots. Fantastic paired
with tulips of any colour, zesty limey green euphorbia polycroma
or threaded through grasses and box balls to mirror their shape.
Allium shubertii- a real stunner with heads 1ft wide which resem-
ble the starburst of a firework. Allium christophii -large metallic
purple heads 20cm wide which make fantastic cut flowers pair
with stachys (lambs ear) at the front of a border.
Trout Lilies (erythronium) - their lily like flowers hover above
green & purple mottled ground hugging foliage and are fantastic
specimens for naturalising in shady areas. Fritilliria meleagris or
as they are more commonly known 'Snakes head lily' due to their
chequerboard markings on their delicate looking heads looks won-
derful swaying in the breeze.
Leucojom aestivum (Summer Snowflake) summer snowflake
looks like dainty white bells with green dots 'Gravetye Giant'is
one to try it was introduced by William Robinson the influential
19th century Irish garden writer it naturalises easily into a grace-
ful meadowland look. This is only a small selection of what we
have in store try also muscari 'Grape hyacinths' for intense colour
which look great paired with narcissi.
How to plant Bulbs: As rule plant large bulbs three times their
depth, smaller bulbs twice their depth .If soil is heavy plant a lit-
tle higher and add some grit for drainage .Bone meal or poultry
manure can also be added under the bulb when planting.
Remember to keep a watchful eye on slugs near alliums , but for
now plant sit back and enjoy the explosion of colour when your
bulbs appear !!
Lasair at Cork Folk Festival
New, east Cork based music group Lasair will be appearing at this
years Cork Folk Festival. The quintet, featuring mandolin, flute,
uilleann pipes, harp and cello perform the music of composer and
group member Daithí Kearney. Dr. Kearney is a well known
teacher in Cork, having taught for over ten years in a number of
Comhaltas branches including Douglas, Youghal and Glanmire.
He also lectures on Irish traditional music at University College
Cork. He is an All-Ireland champion on mandolin and, in 2009,
performed for President Barack Obama in The White House. His
books, Seinn Port and Lean ar Aghaidh, the latter co-edited and
compiled by Louise Keating, are widely used by Irish traditional
music teachers in Cork, Kerry and further afield.
Midleton based flute teacher Louise Keating is also a member of
the group. A secondary teacher in Bishopstown, Louise has recent-
ly pioneered a study on attitudes amongst teachers and students
involved in Leaving Certificate music. Louise's brother, Shane
Keating, a multiple All-Ireland Champion uilleann piper will also
feature, as well as Kerry musicians Grace Kearney and Maria
O'Connor. Lasair will appear along with Polish-based ensemble
Sarakina. They play Macedonian, Bulgarian and other Balkan
music with charged energy, a flair for jazz and folk, and the curios-
ity of non-natives discovering a secret code. The instruments they
play include the kaval (Balkan Flute), accordion, bagpipe, bass
and the tambura (Balkan Bouzouki/mandolin).
Lasair and Sarakina will appear at CIT Cork School of Music,
Union Quay on Friday 1st October at 8:00pm. For further details

JOHNNY CASH TRIBUTE
CONCERT TO AID TWO
LOCAL CAUSES
By Christy Parker
Fans of 'the Man in Black' will walk the line towards the Mall Arts
Centre on Friday October 8th when American country singer John
Schmid performs a "Tribute to Johnny Cash," (from his album of
the same name), concert in aid of Youghal Community Hospital
and the Keith Phelan fund.
The concert marks the American's return to a venue he last graced
almost two years ago to the day. For those unimpressed by Johnny
Cash (every community has its eccentrics) John Schmid seems an
interesting kind of guy to share a room with anyway. He is the
founder and director of Common Ground Ministries, a "singing
ministry" based in Ohio, with a focus on prisons and the Ohio
Corrections System. In a calling that would impress the late, San
Quintin-phobe, Mr. Cash himself, he ministry provides free Bible
teaching and correspondence courses to prisoners in the Ohio sys-
tem. John visits over 50 prisons annually, plus variouschurches,
boot camps, banquets, embassies, schools, street fairs, seminars,
concerts and "a fair amount of living rooms," as he cheerfully tes-
tifies. The rest of the time he tours overseas, lest he get bored and
fall asleep on the couch one supposes.
Don't even ask…
It is worth recalling an observation connected with his last visit to
these shores, when it was noted that a cardinal rule of prison min-
istry is never askan inmate what he did to deserve prison. Once, in
19 years,John Schmid did so. Later he watched aghast from the
stage as the inmate sang, prayed and laughed in the audience.
John, unfortunately, now knew the awfulness of the man's crimes
and spent the evening "wanting to beat the daylights out of him."
While the incident reminded him that, "sin kills and causes suffer-
ing," he had also "got a glimpse of the awesomepower of the
Gospel. But asking why a man is in prisondoesn't't help at all," he
concludes ruefully.
The minister might well have become, if not another 'Man in
Black' at least an original 'Guy in Grey' had God not disrupted his
concentration. He was singing in a C & W band in 1972 when he
became converted, hence discovering that Nashville wasn't the
real heaven after all and set upon the road that would see him play
guitar for God. Physically, John Schmid's stature resembles that of
Johnny Cash, though his voice carries fewer pebbles, one might
opinion. His singing style forms the blend of country/folk/gospel
that once begat rock 'n' roll and his performances are sprinkled
with stories and soft humour, while much flavoured with the
Biblical message.
The economic maelstrom means the Youghal Community Hospital
needs financial assistance as never before, while the Keith Phelan
fund brings a cause to more recent public attention. Keith, 11and
a pupil at Bun ScoilMhuire,suffered a bi-lateral Grade 4
Haemorrhage in premature birth, culminating in his being quadri-
plegic, epileptic and suffering Cerebral Palsy. His family hope to
raise enough money to bring Keith to the XCell-Center in
Dusseldorf, Germany, where stem cell treatment may improve his
condition and prospects. (See story on http://www.youghalon-
line.com/2010/09/21/keith-phelan-appeal-by-michael-twomey/ )
Tickets for John Schmid's 'A Tribute to Johnny Cash,' are available
from Cree's Card Shop, @ €10/€5 (concessions).

LADIES RUGBY
AIL League
Youghal-8 V Galbally-5
Youghal ladies took to their home pitch of Frogmore for the first
game of the AIL league. Weather conditions proving perfect both
sides set off with a running game plan. However, early season
errors stalled the continuity for both teams and scrums became
constant. Outstanding performances for Youghals pack who did-
n't give the much larger Galbally side any leeway. Youghals con-
stant defence remained untainted even with powerhouse runs
from the sturdy Galbally forwards. The sea-siders held off
numerous attacks one try being held up. Score remained 0-0 till
half time.
Motivation speeches must have been rife for the Youghal ladies as
they came out with a new lease of life. Youghal backs kept the
opponents confused with kicks from grubbers and Garryowens
and a sterling performance from Kate Sheehan on her debut
defensively. Youghal remained patient prior to their five pointer
with a multitude of attempts being withstood by Galbally. Leah
Dorian powered through with sheer determination to give
Youghal their much deserved lead and on her first league outing
was faultless, definitely one to note in the future. The conversion
attempt falling short meant everything was left to play for.
Galbally continued to attack with their forwards and Youghal
fought fiercely but couldn't hold them off, with a missed conver-
sion this left everything even Stephens. After some great phases
of play the newly energized Youghal side edged closer to the
Galbally try lineand lucky for the home side their opponents were
penalised leaving Kellie Faul free to slot over the three pointer
bringing the score-line to Youghal-8 Galbally-5. Some great
defensive play from the backline in the dying moments off the
game holding off Galballys late attack. Not the most attractive of
games but it gives Youghal a basis for improvement and looks to
be an exciting season.

 YOUGHAL TIDY TOWNS
ACQUIRE BRONZE MEDAL
STATUS
By Christy Parker
Youghal's Tidy Towns committee chairman Ned Brennan says the
group is "very pleased" with its fourth place rating in this year's
competition. Youghal totalled 279 point in Category E (pop 5-
10,000), showing a remarkable seven-point improvement from
last year. Near neighbours Dungarvan topped the group with 287
points, followed by Trim and Dalkey.
Youghal's improvement followed extra emphasis on wildlife, nat-
ural amenity sites and landscaping this year, according to Mr.
Brennan. New, stainless steel flower pots on the Lighthouse Hill
brought favourable remarks, as did the boat installation on the
Killeagh road entrance to the. The upbeat analysis also includes a
town centre enhanced by the shop front painting scheme.
However derelict sites continue to inflict major damage on
Youghal'sTidy Towns aspirations. "The old Indian Point site oppo-
site Lidl's and the area around Allin's Quay are particularly bad,"
says Mr. Brennan. "We could see major progress if dereliction was
eradicated or greatly reduced."
The approach roads to the town are further liabilities but respon-
sibility here lies with Cork County Council. The county authori-
ty scarcely cut a blade of grass on town perimeters and repeated
letters from Mr. Brennan's committee elicit the stock response of
"scarce resources." On the other hand, undertaking the work one-
self would contradict union labour policy. On a more local level,
"general litter management remained unchanged since 2009 and
personal behaviour could help address that," agrees Mr. Brennan..
The positive returns means the chairman has reversed his decision
to resign after nine years in the seat. "I had become s bit disillu-
sioned but this has given me fresh hope," he says. Funding for the
group remains largely reliant on the annual summer flag day,
alongside a town council grant. "We've also got two FAS workers
this year which very much helps us to maintain a strong work
effort," informs the former town clerk.
The chairman now sets his sights on reaching towards the top
marks of 308 points that would guarantee Youghal gold status. "If
we could improve by seven points every year, it wouldn't be long
before we'd become a national winner," he muses. Certainly the
hopes and dreams of Youghal's Tidy Town's committee are far
from derelict.

‘Roots’ CD Launch
By Michael Twomey
When Chris Moloney took to the stage with his guitar at Youghal’s
Hot Spot Youth Café recently during the launch the café's music club
CD ‘Roots’, his voice was full of emotion and pride. The applause
he received cannot be valued, applause can be priceless for kids who
have worked to achieve personal goals. Chris was one of many who
entertained a packed house; it was an evening that bucked the trend
of bad press that the youth often receive from the established media.
The ‘Roots’ album is a product of the Thursday evening music ses-
sions held at the Youth Café, overseen by Bobby Lee with the assis-
tance of Steve Whelan. The music club has been running for almost
two years, taking in kids from 12 to 18 who wish to learn or devel-
op musical skills. The music room at the Hot Sot was furnished with
equipment by the Irish Recorded Music Association (IRMA) and is
facilitated by the national youth organisation Foróige. Another tal-
ented singer, Darragh Lee said the club had humble beginnings but
quickly progressed. “It started with just a couple of us coming down.
We got the equipment and it has really grown. Now we have the
album after recording it at Claycastle Studios.” A remarkable aspect
to the CD launch, other than the talent on show, was the amount of
volunteers and supporters at the event. Local politicians (Barbara
Murray, Michael Beecher) sat with kids who mingled with business-
es and patrons such as Barry Treacy of Youghal Credit Union as well
as mixing with youth workers, musicians and record producers
(Warren Tivy, John Burke Claycastle Studios). Fine Gael T.D. David
Stanton heaped praise on everyone involved and expressed a gen-
uinely felt optimism for the future of the youth and warmth for the
café. “There is fantastic energy, fun and good humour here. It's so
encouraging to see everyone supporting each other. I've traveled all
over and this is one of the nicest youth centres in the whole country.
It's not just the facilities of the building but the people in it, keep
smiling and feeling good about yourself because right now we need
more of that,” he said. The album 'Roots' boasts 19 tracks featuring
30 musicians; 13 original songs were recorded, complimented by 6
cover versions. Bobby Lee said the album was the result of a desire
on behalf of himself and the artists to 'write and record' and 'to have
something to look back on for all the hard work'. By the time Jake
Kalilec drew the attention of the crowd with a rasping rendition of
his song 'We're Supposed To Be Friends' it was evident that some-
thing more than that was happening. It was clear, given the right
environment and encouragement, talent will find a way. 'Roots' the
album is on sale at Scotts Music Shop 137 North Main St. Youghal,
Cree's Card Shop, Youghal, Pro-Musica 20 Oliver Plunkett St. Cork,
and at www.sacred-root.com.
2010 for them is now over and planning for 2011 must start right
away. Already a new flower bed has been set at College Road and
Keevers' site has been harrowed and sown thanks to the generosi-
ty and community spirit of Joe O'Callaghan, Pat O'Connell and
The Prendergast Family.A requirement for next year is a proper
water bowser so we can more effectively use harvested water to
water the beds and window boxes. So if there is anyone out there
with an unwanted oil bowser or even an unwanted mobile milk
tank then we would gladly make use of it. Also, following all the
activity last year we have decided that we need a little car trailer
and again, if the like is laying idle anywhere, then we would glad-
ly put it to tidy towns use.
Bereaved. Our sympathy to the extended family of the late
Frances Hallahan who died last week. Ar dheis Dé go raibh sí.

Winter has been making itself known in recent days with frosty

a depression will freshen up the SW'erlies and bring measurable
quantities of rain over next weekend. This pattern seems to be tak-
ing hold for next week as one system follows another - autumn is
truly here and to be fair this would be a normal pattern for the time
of year.

 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL SEPTEMBER MEETING
Report of the Town Clerk on Matters Arising from the
Monthly Meeting of Youghal Town Council held on 13th July
2010.
The most important issue facing Town Councils for decades will
centre around the recent publication of the Report of Local
Government Efficiency Review Group which is to be discussed by
Government this Autumn. Here is a summary of some of the pro-
posed changes.
Town & County:
In terms of town and county co-operation, a number of factors
suggest the need to re-assess the planning, roads and housing
responsibilities of town councils. The Group noted that while most
town councils retain statutory responsibility for planning func-
tions, in practice the bulk of town councils rely heavily on the
county councils to carry out planning work on their behalf. In this
regard the statutory responsibility of town councils for planning
matters carries with it an administrative overhead and a duplica-
tion of effort that should be streamlined.
In terms of roads, the Group considers that all county councils
should be allocated an urban grant for local urban roads for spend-
ing in all town areas (regardless of whether the urban area has
town council status or not). The shift in policy towards sourcing a
greater proportion of social housing supply through leasing from
the private sector also provides an opportunity to achieve efficien-
cies through the consolidation of the housing function at county
level, with allowance for the delegation of certain responsibilities
to the town level.
Consequently the Group is recommending that the planning, roads
and housing function of town councils should be transferred to
their respective county council. The Group is also recommending
that the rating function should be removed from town councils,
and that town charges be applied in the same manner as is the case
on the non-rating town councils. These recommendations will ulti-
mately be dependent on policy on the sub-county level arising
from the White Paper on Local Government. It will be important
in this context that policy and organisational change be imple-
mented before the next scheduled local elections in 2014.
Dissolution of Other Local Bodies:
A series of other bodies, including joint drainage boards and joint
burial boards should be dissolved, with their functions transferred
to local authorities or a 'lead' local authority, resulting in savings
in administrative overheads.
Financial Supports for Elected Members:
While the Group did not have a mandate to consider the number
of local councils, or the number of local elected members, it is rec-
ommending that the financial supports to local elected representa-
tives which have recently been reduced, are kept under review to
ensure they remain reasonable and proportionate.
Housing Functions of Town Councils:
The reorientation of housing policy away from traditional con-
struction and acquisition of housing to greater sourcing of supply
form long-term leasing implies a need for different skills sets
within housing sections of local authorities - for example with a
greater focus on active estate and property management and ten-
ant liaison. This implies the need for some redeployment of staff.
As noted above, the Group is also recommending that the housing-
related functions of town councils be transferred to their respec-
tive county council, but that individual county councils could
decide to delegate certain aspects of the housing function to town
level where this makes sense from the point of view to efficiency.
Roads:
Tolling Schemes:
The Group recommends the introduction of new tolling schemes
on national roads (both new and existing) based on an equitable
distribution of tolling points across the national roads network.
Such a move would be consistent with Government policy on pro-
moting a more efficient and environmentally-friendly use of the
national road network and incentivising road users to move to
other transport options, including public transport. A dedicated
Page 1
proportion of the revenue raised should be used for investment in
local and regional roads.
Consolidating Water Functions:
A regional approach to monitoring, authorisation, inspection and
sampling functions should be adopted. This includes building the
current approach of aligning inspections under the Nitrates
Directives with the work of the Department of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Food. To implement Government policy on water
charges, one solution may be to establish a dedicated agency for
metering and regulation of prices.
Planning Fees:
Current planning fees represent a fraction of the actual cost of pro-
cessing planning applications, and are very much lower in Ireland
than neighbouring countries. The Group recommends moving to
full cost recovery on a phased basis over a 5-year period, starting
with 50% cost recovery in the first year, and 75% after 3 years.
Joint Administrative Areas:
The group recommends that as soon as may be the following
county and city council areas be paired as 'joint administrative
areas' to facilitate greater economies of scale in the provision of
local services: Carlow and Kilkenny; Cavan and Monaghan;
Galway City and County; Laois and Offaly; Leitrim and Sligo;
Longford and Westmeath; Mayo and Roscommon; North
Tipperary and South Tipperary; Waterford City and County.
These pairings were determined using a number of criteria, includ-
ing population base, geographical factors, and the fact that a sin-
gle manager served many of these paired areas in the past. The
local government arrangements in Limerick City and County are
currently under review by the Limerick Local Government
Committee. Nevertheless, the Group is persuaded that there is also
a case, at a minimum, for joint administration in respect of
Limerick city and county.
Organisational Recommendations:
Administration:
1. Ten joint administrative areas across 20 county and city council
area should be established to pool corporate functions and other
service areas, with each joint administrative area under the respon-
sibility of a single manager (short, medium and long-term);
2. Responsibility for planning, roads and housing functions
should be transferred from town councils to county councils
(medium term).;
3. County councils should be allowed delegate some local aspects
of housing service provision to towns where this is economically
efficient (medium-term);
4. The power to determine the annual rate on valuation should be
removed from town councils, and town charges be applied in the
same manner as other existing non-rating town councils (medium-
term);
5. Each county council should be allocated an urban grant for
local urban roads, with the county council determining the urban
road spend arcoss all towns in its administrative area (medium-
term);
6. County council offices/area offices and town council offices
should be co-located (ongoing);
7. Joint drainage boards, joint burial boards and other bodies
should be dissolved, and their functions transferred to local
authorities or a 'lead' local authority (short to medium-term).
Votes of congratulations:
Mayor Cllr Linehan Foley congratulated the Youghal camogie
club on winning the county title. She said they club would be hon-
oured through the council's new twice-yearly awards ceremonies
to honour those credited with "outstanding achievements" by the
council. The first ceremony will be held in December. The mayor
further congratulated Patsy O' Mahoney on his heroic river rescue
during the summer and also the Triathlon committee for their
recent successful event. She further paid tribute to the Tidy Town
committee and the council staff on the bronze medal (Category E
-5,000 to 10.000 pop.) acquired in in this year's competition.
Cllr Michael Beecher congratulated Youghal Soccer Club on offi-
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL SEPTEMBER MEETING
bronze medal (Category E -5,000 to 10.000 pop.) acquired in in
this year's competition.
Cllr Michael Beecher congratulated Youghal Soccer Club on offi-
cially acquiring the world record for a continuous five-a-side
game. "And the fine weather," he proceeded mysteriously, posing
the possibility that God may be honoured at December's award
ceremony.
Cllr Barbara Murray praised the Medieval Festival organisers and
the Heritage committee for their various achievements, including
the current initiative to host approximately 170 WIT students
across 12 months and the economic benefits that brings.
Town Foreman's Report:
Cllr Sammy Revins said the 'temporary dressing' on the
Knockaverry Road needs renewing after 29 years! Town clerk
Liam Ryan said there was no money in the 2010 budget and the
councillor would need to bring it to the 2011 budget meeting in
conjunction with the 2011 Local Roads Grant. Cllr Revins asked
that the engineer add it to his priorities list nonetheless.
Cllr Liam Burke sought a progress report on the Youghal Retail
Strategy. Town Manager Patricia Power was absent but Mr. Ryan
said she would have a report for October's meeting. The council-
lor complained of a number of large potholes in the
McCurtainstown car park before asking that CIE be contacted
over the "dreadful" state of their site at the adjacent old railway.
Cllr Murray asked that weeds be removed from various verges
throughout the town and wanted a 'dangerous bend' sign near the
Strand Church be either replaced or cleaned of moss.
Cllr Eoin Coyne wanted a wall opposite the pipe band headquar-
ters at Cork Hill repaired, feeling "a kick could collapse it." The
councillor asked who was responsible for maintaining the bushes
around Lidl and was told they were the supermarket's responsibil-
ity if contained within.
Cllr Beecher offered compliments on the newly-painted Clancy's
property but expressed disquiet over the state of front strand toi-
lets. He too criticised CIE's, railway site as "a disgrace." He said
the company was "getting letters and laughing at us." The council-
lor said household rubbish was still being dumped in public bins
overnight and concluded by noting that the sign on the island near
Youghal Shipping had been half knocked.
Cllr Michelle Hennessy was concerned over a grid that was facing
the wrong way at the bottom of the Spa hill. She also said the site
of the proposed new library on North Main Street, "whose name
we can't mention" (approximate to the Chinese restaurants) was in
very poor condition and asked the town clerk to request Cork
County Council "clean up their premises."
Cllr Sandra McLellan sought a remedy to overhanging trees on
Windmill Hill, while a tree opposite the council HQ itself also
needed trimming. She believed the road needed re-surfacing at
Allin's Quay and wanted an update on a wall at Ashe Street that
had been the subject of a 'dangerous structure' notice. She also
drew attention to two issues at Belmont Terrace in the strand, -a
disabled parking space and wall in danger of collapsing. Town
engineer Paul Murray agreed to confer with her on it later.
Mayor Foley said Green Hole was "alive with seaweed," with the
smell "wafting" and asked it be pushed out to sea "or somewhere."
County Council Items:
A report by the town engineer, Paul Murray addressed issues
raised at July's meeting. He said a 'dangerous structure' notice had
been issued to the owner of the rifle range at Claycastle, who then
carried out work in compliance. Issues regarding the Youghal
landfill and waste collection service were being addressed by
Cork County's Environment department. Additionally, the county
council had sold its waste collection service to Country Clean
Recycling Limited. It was proposed to conduct road and other
repairs at Ballyclamsey shortly. A plan to undertake a road over-
lay on North Main Street had been deferred pending approval of a
funding application for similar work from Windmill Hill to Cork
Hill instead. Following discussion with Atkin's Consultants, the
valve at the outfall in the front strand would be changed for a dif-
Page 2
ferent model in October. Proposals for landscape/road safety work
at Quarryvale had been received and were being examined and
costed. Following the cessation of the blue flag season, the front
strand, Claycastle, Redbarn and Garryvoe were in compliance
with requisite criteria and a full review of the season would ensue
in the coming weeks in County Hall. A traffic count would be con-
ducted in the Costcutters area of Cork Hill shortly.
Eyesore and valves,
Mayor Linehan Foley commented that the rifle range and ongoing
activity in the area is "a disgrace." She said it was "a massive eye-
sore, a hub for anti-social behaviour, served no purpose and would
best be demolished. The mayor also observed that a leak was
pumping water onto the Quarry Road on the route to Copperally
since last January.
Following an inquiry from Cllr Burke, the town engineer
explained that an inappropriate or inadequate valve type had been
fitted on the front strand outfall pipe and now a more suitable one
would replace it. Cllr Burke argued that regardless of valve, the
pipe needed to be extended -as the council had always argued- as
the accumulated sand would prevent any valve from working. Mr.
Murray reiterated that Atkins consultants had recommended a
valve and the manufacturers had said, incorrectly, that it would
work. So now the manufacturers had suggested a different model.
He added that the county engineers indicated they would apply for
an offshore licence to extend the pipe if the new valve didn't work.
"This is going on for years and years. No valve is going to work!"
insisted Cllr Burke.
Cllr Beecher asked if money was being wasted on this saga and
recommended that the manufacturers who argued that the erring
manufacturers should conduct the next job free of charge. "I'll
convey your thoughts," assured the engineer. Cllr Murray then
asked that a full report on the outfall pipe total costs be made
available for the October meeting. "The thinking in Cork County
Council has to change," she admonished, "and the job done prop-
erly instead of messing around for years."
Cllr Burke continued, requesting an update on the sewerage situa-
tion in the general McCurtainstown area. Mr Murray said he had
previously sought permission to enter private land to clean some
drains and was refused. There had since been a change of heart,
access was permitted, the work conducted and the problem solved.
Proceeding, Cllr Burke asked for attention to "the usual list of
footpaths" (Tallow Street, South Main Street and junction of
Strand Street and South Abbey). To general amusement, he
explained that the nameplate on the entrance stone at Srath na Saili
spelt 'Sailt' along with a fada on the 't'! The town clerk said the
estate was managed by Cork County Council issue but that
Youghal Town Council had undertaken some works on their
behalf, including landscaping and the installation of the said stone.
He said the correct spelling had been given to the stonecutter, who
had presumably made a mistake and which he would correct.
Cllr Murray complained of hedging intruding onto the footpath at
Golf Links Road. She also questioned had there been any move to
employ CCTV in rural, county areas (no) and wondered if a pot
hole at the end of Cork Hill could be remedied.
No money, stones, low signage and a disability box.
Cllr Beecher said a gulley at the church side entrance to Dermot
Hurley Estate needed cleaning before stating that the sharp turn
into the estate needed rectifying also. The town clerk quickly
reminded him that he knew well that there is no money available
for such work. Following the winter frost, he elaborated, every
cent of the Local Roads grant had been spent on resurfacing Cork
Hill, Magnier's Hill, Ardrath, Golf Links Road and Kilcoran Road
and it wasn't acceptable to be putting the onus on the town coun-
cil to do work for which it couldn't afford. The matter would need
to be addressed in the context of the 2011 budget in December.
Mr. Ryan recalled that he had asked each councillor to make rep-
resentation to their political parties on the issues of resources
and staffing for local authorities and had yet to see one written
 YOUGHAL TOWN COUNCIL SEPTEMBER MEETING
and staffing for local authorities and had yet to see one written
response regarding policies. "There is no better council to do the
work than Youghal Town Council if we are given the means," he
concluded.
Cllr Beecher next asked when the new sewerage scheme would
commence. Mr. Ryan said the 2012 Main Sewerage Scheme
required the Dept. of Environment to approve a list of contractors
so that Cork County Council could go to tender. It would all
depend on funding at national level, he added. Cllr Beecher com-
plained that there were "stones showing" on the road between
Dolphin Square and Brown Street. The town clerk replied that the
main streets were a county council matter and he had made recom-
mendations to that body, which were being "looked on
favourably." The councillor concluded with reference to a big pot
hole on the Quarry Road.
Cllr Hennessy repeated a previous request that low level signage
adorning a traffic island at Greencloyne be removed as it obstruct-
ed vision, with particular emphasis for children accessing the
nearby playground. The councillor also referred to a long section
of "deteriorating" road adjacent to Blackwater Heights.
Cllr Coyne sought temporary repairs to the road from Hillview to
the entrance to Raheen Road. He was also concerned about the
same Quarry Road pothole as was Cllr Beecher.
Cllr McLellan said she was still awaiting yellow disability box to
be a painted outside 5 Fitzgerald's Terrace, 15 months after first
requesting it! She also wondered if there was any progress to
implement Priority 1's of the Disability Awareness Audit. The
town engineer said a contractor was about to start on the audit pri-
orities but that the yellow box was a different issue. "The person
who needs it is disabled," Cllr McLellan replied.
Cllr Beecher rejoined the debate by condemning alleged odours
from the landfill site and then asking what "Country Clean
Recycling are going to be doing out there." He was informed they
had merely purchased the refuse collection licence. Mr. Ryan also
informed that a response from the county council to concerns
expressed about odours at Foxhole would be forthcoming shortly.
Mayor's Business:
Mayor Linehan Foley congratulated all who supported and were
involved in various festivals and events during a busy summer.
She thanked the deputy mayor for standing in during the Tweenies
10th anniversary year celebration, before mentioning that the
annual council meeting with the Chamber of Commerce had gone
very well and that liaisons would be ongoing.
The marina and the pontoon
The mayor said there seemed to be a perception in the wider com-
munity that the town council had halted the establishment of the
marina and besides, had never even wanted it! She asked the town
clerk to clarify the situation and also that of the pontoon, which
was being moved somewhat.
Mr Ryan said Youghal Town Council was "extremely supportive"
of the marina concept and that it "was one of its strategic aims"
within the Youghal Town Development Plan 2009-15. He
explained that in 2005 the council had granted planning permis-
sion to Aeon Developments Ltd for a 39-berth marina at Allen's
Quay, which would complement the company's 82-apartment
complex on the site. The proposed marina was appealed unsuc-
cessfully to An Bord Pleanala by third parties.
Ultimately the company went into receivership however and last
November Blackwater Marina Ltd., had acquired the rights of the
permitted planning application. That company subsequently
sought an extension to the planning permission and were given 18
months by Youghal Town Council, said the town clerk. It subse-
quently transpired that the documentation submitted by the devel-
oper to the Department of the Environment for a foreshore licence
"was completely different" to the original proposal, he said and the
department consequently declined to grant the said licence.
Following further negotiations between the department and the
developer, said Mr. Ryan, a new design was agreed "in principle"
between those two parties. However, because this required a fur-
Page 3
ther 25% of space beyond what was stipulated in the original
application and because it was totally different visually, "it was
difficult for the developer to proceed with the project." He was
advised by senior planners that because of previous third party
objections and because "the footprint of the new proposal" dif-
fered so much from the original footprint, a new planning applica-
tion would be required. "To date there has been no such applica-
tion," said the town clerk. "Youghal Town Council remains
extremely supportive of developing a marina at that location" he
concluded, and would support the developer within the context of
a new planning application.
The pontoon on Nealon's presented a shorter clarification. The
town clerk said that prior to the tourist season commencing, the
council had facilitated the development of Aquatrek's facility on
the quay, along with a pontoon for incoming charter boats. The
pontoon was now found to be "slightly too close to the jetty" and
at certain tides some users were having difficulties using the jetty
facilities. Consequently the pontoon will be moved "five to ten
metres south" of its location. Additionally the two companies util-
ising facilities on the quay are to regularise their facilities as per
normal practice, now that the season is over.
The mayor stressed that the town council supports any legitimate
water-based facility in the harbour "100%." Cllr Murray elaborat-
ed that the public needed to know that it was beyond the town
clerk's remit to allow the marina to proceed without a new plan-
ning application being submitted.
Notice of Intention to Designate the Blackwater Estuary as an
SPA under the EU Birds Directive: The town clerk said he had
asked the area planner to prepare a submission for Dept of
Environment on the matter and urged members to make recom-
mendations if they wished. The submission will include both town
and county areas.
Presentation of Traffic Management Plan for Ashe Street,
DeValera Street, Emmet Place and Church Street. The mayor
said this had been deferred to October's meeting as "a full coun-
cil" would be preferable given the importance of the issues. (There
were eight councillors present as the Labour party had not yet rat-
ified the appointment of Cllr Donie Daly's nominated replace-
ment, Mr. Tomas O'Connell.) Cllr Revins advocated that a special
meeting be held to deal with the plan, given its complexities. He
felt that events like the Medieval Festival would not easily com-
ply with the plan but the town clerk advised him that such festi-
vals were better experienced without parking access in the vicini-
ty, stall deliveries etc., notwithstanding.
Review of Parking Bye Laws: It was agreed that a special meet-
ing be convened to discuss both this and the traffic management
plan. Mr. Ryan stipulated that it be done so with regard for the cur-
rent town policy, contained within the Town development Plan
and the Public Realm Plan, meaning "the car is an issue that must
be dealt with." The date is to be arranged.
Extinguishment of Right of Way at North Abbey
Terrace/Flemings Court:
Surprisingly, there was only one submission regarding this pro-
posal. Cllr Burke proposed the closure be enacted and this was
unanimously accepted.
IBAL (Irish Businesses Against Litter) Report 23rd Aug 2010:
In common with many local authorities, the council was unhappy
with IBAL's ranking and it's procedures in assigning it. Youghal
was ranked 37th, in the current Anti-Litter League, classed as
'Moderately Littered' but outside the 'Clean to European Norms'
standard. The town clerk said he was "very disappointed", given
that Youghal had been within European norms and achieved litter
free status for the previous four years. He cited IBAL's decision to
take access roads into consideration as problematic, as they were
the county council's responsibility. Cllr Revin's said just two areas
outside the town, one of which was Co. Waterford controlled
Rhincrew, had cost Youghal its 'European Norm' status. (Burn the
bridge!)

Security Survey Report (Youghal Town Walls, College
Gardens & St. Mary's Church):
All the recommendations contained within the garda-prepared
report had been implemented and much of the anti-social activity
in the area had ceased, said the town clerk, though there remained
more to do. The works conducted had come from the 2000
Heritage budget and any further works needed would have to
come from future budgets, he added.
Report on AMAI (Amalgamated Municipal Authorities of
Ireland) Conference by Cllr Linehan Foley.
The mayor said she, the town clerk and Cllr McLellan had trav-
elled to Buncrana to attend the conference from September 9th to
11th. She said the white paper proposing the abolishment of town
councils dominated proceedings. Despite some rousing defences,
the news wasn't particularly heartening, with Minister for
Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Eamon O'Cuiv indicat-
ing there would be "big changes." The mayor sadly believed that
district councils would supplant town councils, with a jurisdiction
stretching beyond the town. "It will be a catastrophe for all towns
if they don't have a town council to support them," she believed,
citing the importance of direct representation of constituents'
interests in the town hall as an inevitable loss.
The mayor urged that all councillors (everywhere) lobby their
TD's and ministers for the retention of town councils, with partic-
ular emphasis on the general election that will inevitably fall
shortly on our heads. "We must let them know that we won't be
walking round the town canvassing for them if they don't support
us," she urged. "I won't be canvassing for anyone that won't sup-
port town councils," echoed Cllr Revins. "They should be giving
us more power not less," argued Cllr Beecher.
The mayor concluded her report with a recommendation that all
councillors attending conferences should heretofore furnish "a
small report" to the chamber on their return. She proceeded that
such reports would help explain "why we go there and what we
do," before elaborating that the purpose was to learn more about
anti-social behaviour and planning and so on. She said the govern-
ment gave each councillor €2,000 per annum specifically for this
purpose and which could not be used for anything else. "I use it to
educate myself and to inform the people who elected me," she
concluded. Details of the AMAI conference including footage of
speakers is on www.amai.ie
Rapid Report by Cllr Revins: The councillor said he could not
attend that month's Rapid meeting as the work to rule dictated it
was being held during mornings and he had work staff on holi-
days. He asked that the town clerk take notes on his behalf.
Report on the Tidy Towns Task Force by Mayor Linehan
Foley:
The mayor said she had no update but a request from the task force
for a presentation on its work, etc., to the town council before
October's meeting was accepted.

LEAVING CERTIFICATE APPLIED
PROGRAMME LAUNCHED IN
POBALSCOIL NA TRÍONÓIDE
The 2010 Leaving Certificate Applied Programme (LCA) was
launched in Pobalscoil na Tríonóide last Thursday morning. The
launch was well attended by students, parents, teachers and school
management.
The LCA Programme is a two year Leaving Cert available to stu-
dents who wish to pursue a practical education. The work and
career focus of the LCA helps students to prepare for the world of
work and adult life. Students spend four days a week in school and
one day a week on work experience. Local businesses have gener-
ously accommodated students with work experience placements in
previous years and everyone involved with the LCA programme
expresses heartfelt thanks to all the employers concerned for their
co-operation and commitment to the programme. At the end of the
two year programme students sit exams in the traditional way but
this counts for only 37% of their overall result. Students are
assessed continually during the programme and this accounts for
31% of their result and task exams held throughout the two years
account for the remaining 35%. Students receive three statements of
results during the programme which show their progress and marks
obtained.
LCA task exams involve the development and use of many skills
including event management, research and report writing. Students
also develop strong interpersonal and interview skills as they are
required to undertake ten interviews with external examiners during
the programme. At the recent LCA launch in Pobalscoil na
Tríonóide students, teachers and parents had an opportunity to dis-
cuss the challenges that lie ahead for the 16 students embarking on
the programme this September. Everyone in Pobalscoil na
Tríonóide wishes them every success and personal fulfilment dur-
ing the next two years.

thus an intelligence gathering initiative but one that has a proven
track record of success wherever it has been established across the
country. Locally it is supported by the Regional Drugs Task Force,
Youghalgardai and community networks.
Information supplied to 1800 220 220 is logged, processed and
eventually returned to national and local garda drug units, where
it may assist on-going cases or represent a direct case of its own,
depending on the level of sustainability the information brings
with it. Callers are not asked to supply their own identities and,
neither, are calls traced, as confidentiality is itself the key to exis-
tence. The service targets only drug dealing and not drug usage. Marie Hartnett and Susan Ward with incoming Youghal Bay Bridge Club President

 PASSING OF BELOVED CORK
FRIEND SPARKS YOUGHAL
CANCER FUNDRAISER
By Christy Parker
A heart-warming story of friendship, care and camaraderie lies
behind a fundraising night for the Mercy hospital cancer care unit
next month. For over thirty years Mickey O'Connell from
Gurranabraherspent his weekend amongst friends in Yougha,l
where he his gentle disposition and love for life endeared him to
all who knew him. On September 19th 2009, Mickey, aged just
61,succumbed to cancer in Cork's Mercy hospital. Now, through
the Mercy Hospital Foundation, the friends whose lives he
enriched aim to ensure his untimely passing brings benefit to oth-
ers whose lives are infringed by the disease.
Throughout his Youghal sojourns, Mickey was the house guest of
Dave and Mag Cooley from Cherryvale, who recall him as "an
absolute gentleman and wonderful company." GerKenneally of
the fundraising committee reiterates the view, describing Mickey
as "a great character and one of the kindest souls you could possi-
bly meet and a man with a great sense of humour. Nobody ever
have a bad word to say about Mickey," he states.
A lifelong bachelor, Mickey served his working life in the cus-
tomers' service department of BordGais. Mickey shared the fami-
ly home with his twin sisters Mary and Brenda.The eldest of nine
children, his sibling all survive him.
Many of Mickey's friendships evolved through his musical talents.
An accomplished drummer throughout the showband era, he play-
ing alongside such household names as Derek Davis, The
RegalShowband, Pat Lynch & the Air Chords, Barry
Hendrick&the Treetops and the Music Men. In more recent years
he plied his talents on guitar and frequently sat in on sessions in
Youghal. "He had a great mind for electronics too," remembers his
sister Mary, "and even built a few guitars. He could never refuse
help to anyone, so he'd be fixing guitars for people as well."
Fittingly, many Youghal musicians acquainted with Mickey's tal-
ents will perform at what promises to be a fundraising event with
the emphasis as much on fun as funds. "Local bands Rannack and
Clockwork will play but there will also be guest musicians from
Youghal and Cork," says Ger.
In difficult economic times, the generosity of businesses and indi-
viduals towards the cause already reflects astoundingly well on
the town and beyond. Youghal road bowlers recently raised over
€600 which, allied to private donations, has helped swell the
fundraising coffers to over €5,000 three weeks before the main
event.Admission on the night event brings free entry to a raffle in
which donated prizes again reveal amazing generosity. The array
includes an i phone 4 (estimated value €700), two LCD televi-
sions, two nights b&b with one evening meal in Ennis, €100 shop-
ping voucher, a petrol lawn mower, a petrol hedge strimmer, din-
ner for four in Midleton and much more. "People have been
exceptionally kind," agrees Ger, "All our outlays have been spon-
sored, so every cent we raise goes directly to the Mercy hospital.
Mickey himself was a generous man and this is a very fitting way
to honour his memory," he adds.
The Mercy Hospital Foundation fundraiser is at the Walter
Raleigh hotel on Friday October 15th. Admission €10 at door or
advance tickets at Cree's shop and from committee members,

Annual Christmas Shoe Box
Appeal Launched
by Team Hope
Last Year county Cork sent 16,423 gift filled shoeboxes to
needy children – can we beat that this year?
The annual Christmas Shoe Box Appeal has been launched
nationwide by Irish charity Team Hope. Schools, local communi-
ties and churches are being asked to create gift filled shoe boxed
as Christmas gifts and beat last year’s record number of 209,000
which went to needy children in Africa and Eastern Europe. The
aim this year is to send a record number of Christmas shoe boxes
to needy children.
Organised by new Irish charity Team Hope (last year this appeal
was part of Samaritan’s Purse), it is hoped that the numbers of
shoe boxes will increase this year. There are just seven weeks to
do this! This experienced team, together with local volunteers,
have been organising the Christmas shoe box appeal for 11 years
and shoe boxes can be dropped off at collection points around the
country before November 10th for distribution to needy children.
Team Hope (www.teamhope.ie) will deliver the gift-filled shoe
boxes right into the hands of a needy child in Eastern Europe or
Africa.
Speaking about the Christmas shoe box appeal, Carol Hennessey,
Christmas shoe box appeal manager said, “We are delighted to be
calling on County Cork to join in the appeal again this year. Our
local co-ordinators have been so helpful over the years and we are
really looking forward to having a record number of shoe boxes
this year from Cork. It’s easy to take part, yet the kindness of
every Irish person who does, can make a needy child’s Christmas
a Christmas of Hope and one they will never forget!”.
Shoe boxes should be wrapped in Christmas paper (the lid sepa-
rately) and it’s up to the donor to choose who they’d like to
receive the gift, i.e. a boy or a girl and the age group it is suited
for. All the information about how to pack the box, suggestions as
to suitable items, a sticker to mark the box (boy or girl etc) and an
envelope for the €3 (contribution towards transport etc) is in a
leaflet which is available from the local co-ordinator, by phoning
Team Hope at 01 2940222 or via the website www.teamhope.ie.
So come on everyone in County Cork – let’s see if we can beat
our record from last year!

PLAN TO MAKE YOUGHAL IRE-
LAND'S FIRST 'COMPLETELY DIGI-
TALLY POST-CODED TOWN.'
By Christy Parker
Youghal is set to become Ireland's first fully mapped town under a
new addressing system based on digital technology.
Representatives of a new company, Loc8 Code Ltd., presented their
case to Youghal Town Council prior to September's meeting. The
company outlined plans that would see every property, landmark
and address in the town locatable to within 6 metres by tourists,
service providers and anyone else employing popular SatNav and
mobile methodology.
The company would also create 'cluster' identification, whereby
codes with a common thread, such as heritage, entertainment, edu-
cational or sports facilities could be instantly identified and easily
located. Relevant information on every facility or location would be
progressively added, creating a living database and information
service accessible through SatNav systems and websites.
Smarter
A Loc8 Code is an eight-digit, alphanumerical all-Ireland address
code -"a smarter form of postcode" as it is described -built to suit
web mapping and mobile navigation tools. Loc8 Code Ltd has
worked for two years with SatNav providers Garmin to develop the
Loc8 Code system, using ordinance survey mapping as a base
provider. The system can also support non-properties, such as car
boot sales, taxi ranks, beaches, etc. Loc8 Code chief executive Gary
Delaney claims the benefits will transcend all community require-
ments, from recreation to postal deliveries to emergency service
responses.
Mr Delaney is also managing director of global positioning system,
GPS Ireland and brings 20+ years as a navigational specialist in the
Irish navy to the project. He was joined in his presentation by
Youghal man and Loc8 Code director Hugh Carson, whose influ-
ence has seen Youghal earmarked for its revolutionary role through
a service that is being marketed and established across the island's
32 counties. Also present was Youghal native Ruairi Roddy, chief
technology officer of Crosbie Holdings.
Composing his argument the CEO made unfavourable comparisons
between the proposed postcode system and other information
providers. He decried cumbersome co-ordinates and Youghal web-
sites that don't really do directions, while Google Earth, he claimed
mischievously, suggests Youghal beach is in the Green Park! Using
a hypothetical search for the Walter Raleigh hotel as a working
example, he thus advanced his case for the Loc8 Code being the
most efficient tool of discovery (though he neglected to consider the
socially-enhancing option of winding the car window down and
asking someone for directions!)
Fast and efficient
Cutting through the spiel and speculation, Loc8 Code has potential
for diversity but essentially offers speed and efficiency while com-
plementing modern technology. Furthermore, it boasts such high-
accuracy detail that a business apartment for example, can be pin-
pointed within a larger complex, through its individual code. It is
not difficult to see service providers, including An Post, signing up
and while Loc8 Codes are not intended as replacements for conven-
tional addressing, it is very perceivable that it will eventually come
compliment them in common usage.
Anyone can acquire a Loc8 Code free of charge and the company
recommends individuals generate the code themselves via the Loc8
Code website (www.loc8code.com). Charges will persist, Mr.
Delaney explained, when commercial users wish to generate multi-
ple codes or want to add additional services to assist users to get
additional functionality from their codes. Loc8 Code Ltd also
invites software developers and e-commerce sites to contact it "to
agree a suitable licence fo the inclusion and support of Loc8 Codes
in their products."
Locally Loc8..…
In terms of Youghal, Mr. Delaney said the intention is to "make
more Youghal more visible" to location based tools, starting with
key locations like heritage buildings, hotels, restaurants, schools,
playgrounds, medical centres, etc. These would subsequently be
'clustered,' so that a few Loc8 Codes would provide a browser with
information on various options within one topic.
Mr. Carson said he wants "to map absolutely everything in
Youghal" from fire hydrants upwards and outwards across every
possible service. It is intended to do just that in a project spanning
three years. To this purpose, Loc8 Codes Ltd wished the council to
assist in establishing a steering committee to oversee the initiative
and one which would be headed up by engineering consultant
David Kelly and be further assisted on the technical side by Mr
Roddy. Two computers and a handful of staff, possibly FAS work-
ers, were considered requisite for the purpose, with the company
supplying free training. Unanimously and warmly welcoming the
entire proposal, the council deemed that the Youghal Socio-
Economic Development Group was best placed to carry it forward
to the next stage. Further negotiations are expected.
What’s on at the Mall?
Tonight, Tuesday 28th of September, relive the stormy end to one
of the great romantic relationships, between Chopin and his muse,
the novelist and 'femme fatale' George Sand. The music Sand
inspired, including the beautiful Berceuse, the famous 'Minute'
Waltz and the F minor Ballade, is played live as part of the action
on a grand piano especially brought in for this special perform-
ance.
The Last Ballade offers audiences a dramatic insight, through the
eyes of Chopin himself, into this extraordinary woman who has
been variously described as both his muse and his "vampire".
As part of his UK and Ireland tour, Michael Lunts, who plays
Chopin will be stopping off in Youghal for one night only before
heading off to Newcastle West and the Westport Festival.
This year marks the bicentenary of Chopin's birth.
The Show starts at 8pm with doors open at 7.30pm on Tuesday,
September 28th at 8pm ! This event is
kindly supported by Cork County
Council. Tickets on sale at Cree's
Card Shop (024 93899) at €15 or on
the door.
On Saturday, October 2nd we have
another great event at The Mall,
“Something to Feel Good About”
with yet another FREE movie screen-
ing of two award winning documen-
taries Kids with Cameras and
Unbeaten, the latter having been
accepted by The Academy for nomi-
nation for the best documentary cate-
gory 2011. Unbeaten is a documen-
tary film about 31 paraplegics in wheelchairs and hand cycles on
the world's toughest road race.
"Kids With Cameras shows that autism is not a debilitating condi-
tion. The creativity expressed in this documentary coupled with
kids with autism working together is as educational and enlighten-
ing as it is fun to watch." Keith Duffy from Boyzone
The event will start at 2pm with registration and run until 5.30pm.
There will be a donation bucket for those who want to give and the
proceeds will be split between the two causes, Autism and Enable
Ireland. This is purely to accommodate those who would like to
give.This event is kindly supported by Youghal Town Council.

 THEY CYCLED AROUND IRELAND FOR EMER
Team Youghal completed Their 'Race Around Ireland' for The
Emer Casey Foundation at 12.48pm on Saturday the 19th
September, 2010.
The Race Around Ireland is far and away the toughest cycling
endurance test in Europe and is second only, to the race across
America (RAAM) which is the toughest endurance race on the
planet.
Team Youghal completed the race in eighty eight hours and eight-
een minutes knocking over an hour off their previous time last year
of 90 hours and 6 minutes. Team Youghal covered a distance of
2,160.5 km or 1,350 miles with an average speed of 24.5 km/h.
The Emer Casey Foundation is dedicated to providing funding to
the 'Disovary Consortium' to secure the best independent research
to detect the early signs of Uterine/Ovarian cancer.
Following the death of local Youghal girl, Emer Casey, in June
2006, the Casey family promised they would do all they could to
help this research in the hope of securing a future of early detec-
tion.
In order to raise funds and awareness of this worthwhile charity

Team Youghal started their epic journey in Navan at 8.30pm on
Day One, the 14th September, after team member, Christy
McCarthy, a family member of the Nationally known Youghal
Pipe Band, played the National Anthem on the pipes.
With Ger Flanagan in the saddle Team Youghal started up the
North East coast of Ireland towards Belfast. Not long into the race
Ger and the rest of his team, Michael McCarthy, Christy McCarthy
and Eoin Whyte, experienced strong winds and heavy rain which
hampered their progress through the Northern Counties.
As morning broke on Day Two the 15th of September the weather
improved and saw the second section of the team, Kieran Greoger,
Brian Fitzgerald, John Twomey and Tommy Roche, leaving the
North of Ireland at approx. 9.15 am.

journey through Donegal, which claimed the only casualty of the
race, when Eoin Whyte came off his bike on treacherous roads
before Mamore Gap in Co. Donegal.
Eoin injured his hand which rendered him unable to cycle and
Christy McCarthy took up the mantle and conquered the steep
climb through the Gap.
Team Youghal continued through Donegal, Sligo and Co. Mayo
and were greeted by a lovely sunny morning when they came out
of Galway on Day Three, the 16th September.
In glorious sunshine Team Youghal cycled through Co. Clare
through 'The Burren' then along the West Coast through Kilkee
and into Limerick City. Team Youghal then continued South West
out of Limerick into Co. Kerry. As darkness was falling they
cycled through Kerry into the Gap of Dunloe and onto the scenic
Ring of Kerry.
On the morning of Day Four, the 17th of September, Team
Youghal entered into their home county of Cork, reaching Mizen
Head at approx 8:30am and from there Team Youghal continued
on to Skibbereen, Kinsale and Blarney before reaching Cork City.
In Cork City John Twomey took on 'St. Patrick's Hill' at breakneck
speed which was an incredible sight. The Team then cycled
through Cork County and into their home town of Youghal where
all the team cycled in unison into the town to a hero's welcome at
approx. 6pm.
After a very brief stop-over Team Youghal continued into Co.
Waterford via The Mahon Falls as darkness descended.
Fuelled by the welcome they received in their home Town they
continued up through Wexford and into Wicklow, where Tommy
Roche took on Mount Leinster, and won, as brightness began to
rise on the morning of Day Five, the 18th of September. John

 TEAM YOUGHAL RACE AROUND IRELAND 2010
You would think that not a lot of imagination went into thinking
up the name 'Team Youghal", for a group that was about to take on
the second most gruelling endurance test in the world. But having
spent a week with the team throughout their ambition to cycle in
the Race Around Ireland, the name couldn't be more befitting.
The definition of Team is a set of people working together and of
course Youghal is where all either hail from or have ties. The two
words combined represent a group of people who should be very
proud of what they have achieved.
This group of 19 people consisted of 18 men from all ages and
backgrounds, and for the purpose of the task at hand had two
things in common. One to raise awareness of the Emer Casey
Foundation and two, to cycle 2,100k around Ireland in relay fash-
ion from 8pm on Tuesday in as fast a time as possible.
The one thing that I didn't know before I embarked on the route
was that very few main roads were to be used, and where there
was a hill or a mountain, well that was included on the route too.
So in effect you had 8 cyclists and 10 crew divided into two teams
who would operate in shifts that varied in times from 8 to 12
hours, 24 hours a day until the course was complete. Each of the
two teams consisted of 4 cyclists who would cycle relay fashion
with one cyclist on the road from the off, being relieved by the
next cyclist who would be shuttled up the road ahead in a car that
contained the other 3 cyclists. So not only did they have to cycle,
they also had to share driving the 2,100k around Ireland and nav-
agate the route so there was no rest while on shift.
One shift would go on for 8 to 12 hours - the cyclist on duty being
followed at all times by a safety car with a driver and navigator.
The navigator would read the signs and route and call out each
turn to the cyclist in question in advance of any twists or turns in
the road. Thankfully, neither team had any major wrong turns.
And we all know what its like when the wrong directions are given
in a car!!
After each shift the team would be relieved by the next shift of
four cyclists and crew. Bikes would be swopped, gear changed,
cars emptied of all gear in to the gear van driven by Maurice
Flanagan. The cyclists and crew coming off shift would then be
fed by Claude McCarthy from the camper van and subsequently
ferried the couple of hundred kilometres to the next shift change
location. In the mean time the cyclists and crew would be lucky to
get an hour or so sleep before they took to the saddle again while
their other team mates negotiated their leg of the race course. All
these change overs could take place at any given time of the day
or night in any given location!
Complicated? The vast organisation of this team was in planning
for a year. Headed by Ger Flanagan, not alone did Ger give his
hand at the organisation but also cycles in it, as did Tommy Roche.
So having spent the week with the team and watching all this
unfold I can honesty say I have never seen anything like what
these guys pulled off. None of them are professional cyclists and
the average age of the team was mentioned at one stage as being

45, and all have day jobs.
But let me put that statement in context for you and why I feel that
their achievement should be hailed from every rooftop. I've been
lucky enough in my line of work to meet some of the most prolif-
ic sportsmen and one thing has always shone through. These
sporting heroes are very ordinary people who have done extraor-
dinary things. Sergio Garcia, Padraigh Harrington, Ronnie
Delaney, Mick Galwey, Michael Carruth, Mick O Dwyer, Roy
Keane, - all ordinary people who have made a name for them-
selves through doing something extraordinary with their talent.
Yes I have been very impressed by them, especially considering
Ina Walsh, Pat Ryan Youghal KIA, Team Youghal Sponsor, Kieran Groeger Cyclist
and Cllr. Barbara Murray. Picture: Michael Hussey, YoughalOnline.com
the fact that I don't have much experience of sport itself. Lets face
it, us Loreto girls didn't really get much of a kick start when in
comes to sport. The odd hockey game on a bockety pitch, and an
occasional basketball match in a converted church doesn't really
prepare you for what these famous people have had to do to
achieve such accomplishments, so I was always to be in awe of the
big guns anyway.
I've been to many GAA matches and watched Munster bring home
the Heineken cup and watched Colin Byrne caddy yet another
golfer to a European tour success, but I truly have to say watching
Eoin Whyte cycle up Malin head in horizontal rain and wind that
knocked me off balance on more than one occasion was something
else. But what had gone the night before and what was to follow
was nothing to that.
The team of Tommy Roche, Brian Fitzgerald, Kieran Groeger and
John Twomey had battled with what was described as a hurricane
conditions through treacherous mountains in the North and
through the Giants Causeway in the wee small hours of Tuesday
night. I didn't see it - but I saw them at the changeover on the
North South border at Muff. Exhaustion doesn't come close - and
they had another four days to go.
The first shock I got was watching Christy McCarthy jump back
on the saddle after Eoin came off his bike and damaged his hand.

The sheer mental strength that it takes to sit on a bike on your own
and tackle those roads and conditions with very little sleep or food
is beyond comprehension for me. What it did prove is that it is
incredible what we can make our bodies do if we have the mental
will.
This task was never for the faint hearted. But it's a task where

Clashmore Tidy Towns Report 2010
Once again Clashmore has made progress in the over all results
received for their efforts in the 2010 national tidy towns competi-
tion - this year they received a total of 254 marks out of a possible
400 - a 4 point improvement on their 2009 result. Here is what the
judges had to say and where points were won in each category.
Overall Development Approach
Congratulations to Clashmore Tidy Towns association for another
successful year, full of improvements to the village as the results
show. Thankyou for your comprehensive entry, which shows your
positive relationships with other bodies and with the school and
The tea ladies take a refreshing break from the duties at the Knockanore Ploughing
for your map, which was helpful. Be sure to write in on it all Championships
places, which should be visited such as the Orchard Ballyheeney,
and name of streets and housing estates some of the latter do not
even appear on the map. Also, in future years if you can mention
"hidden" achievements - which the judges can not see for them-
selves [planting of daffodils spring showing might be on] you
would be due additional marks.
The Built Environment
The smart Clar building in its pleasant surroundings was admired
as was the fin church painted in modest greys and its well kept
church yard The former church with its landmark tower is most
architecturally distinguished building in the neighbourhood The
adjudicator recalls the last time he was in Clashmore was the year
this splendidly renovated building was inaugurated as the museum
and heritage centre, and it has been improved beyond measure
since then. Lamps were seen - it must look superb when floodlit,
the new GAA Pavilion looks promising. The complex old indus-
trial building near the bridge is impressive the bridge area with its
landscaping grotto and car park from which these interesting sites
can be viewed is the real centre piece of the village The strong
colours of business premises give a real lift to the main street

Landscaping Planting throughout the village is admired especial-
ly the yellow roses at the grotto Be careful that for example the
black and yellow surround and stakes at the circular bed does not
take the eye away from the planting There are a number of good
incidental plantings like this throughout the village and on
approaches. The highly romantic scent at the well is beautifully
presented [Where did the dressed stone fragments piled against the
circular walls originate?] The colourful playground is centrally sit-
uated and clearly very popular - a fine addition to the public
amenities Most of the green areas adjacent to housing were well

Clashmore Ladies Football team, winners of the Junior A Final
It happens that a number of areas that could be considered under
"Landscaping" also come into the area of "Wildlife". We tend to
mark the former from the more formal and structured sites and the
latter from the more natural sites and this includes woods and
mature trees - but of course they overlap. The riverside walk in its
woodland setting is excellent amenity. The grounds of the
Heritage Centre contain some superb mature trees especially the
ancient yews. Virginia and other creepers were seen on old walls -
this is attractive and also provides a refuge for birds. The bird
boxes were not seen but are known from your notes to be present

species The information board is most comprehensive
Litter Control
Your litter-picking programme is obviously working well, as there
was very little litter on adjudication day except for a scattering just
where you would not expect it at the recycling bank. It is good to Moss Fleming competing at the Knockanore Ploughing Championships

there fore unlikely to drip litter it would be useful to identify the
sources of littering and take legal action if necessary Ideally there Glenbower Wood is part of

Aura incentives older
people to realise benefits
of aqua aerobics
Aura Youghal is playing its part in Positive Ageing Week by
encouraging older people to experience the benefits of its aqua
aerobics classes which are already a big hit with locals.
Age has proved to be no barrier to the number of people taking up
the classes which are purposely designed to improve aerobic fit-
ness without placing stress and strain on joints and muscles.
Aura Youghal is celebrating Positive Aging Week by taking 20%
off the cost of its aqua aerobic classes for anyone over 55 years up
to Sunday, October 10. The leisure centre is also providing free tea
and coffee after its weekly morning classes.
“We have a great mix of older people participating in our aqua aer-
obics classes which are ideal for keeping fit, overcoming arthritis
and helping people to recover from injury,” explained Aura
Youghal Operations Manager Tracy Kenneally.
“People notice results and the reason why the classes work so well
is because the body’s buoyancy in the water reduces stress on your
hips, knees and spine. Warm water exercise is also an excellent
way to build up your strength, to ease stiff joints and to relax sore
muscles,” she added.
Each aqua aerobics class takes place for 45 minutes and Aura’s
qualified instructors ensure that participants are slowly introduced
to exercise routines without putting participants or their bodies
under pressure.
“There is a real fun element to each class and the exercises move
all the joints of the body through their full range of motion. The
undulating motion of the water provides resistance while the low
impact moves are easy on arthritic joints and brittle bones,” Tracy
explained.
“Regular exercise like aqua aerobics can also help to reduce heart
disease and its associated risk factors like hypertension, high cho-
lesterol and obesity. It reduces the risk of someone having a stroke
while also helping to increase bone density which reduces the like-
lihood of osteoporosis,” she added.
Aqua aerobics classes take place at Aura Youghal every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 11.45 a.m. and from 8 p.m.
to 8.45 p.m. Classes cost €8.80 during peak hours and €7.80 dur-
ing off-peak hours to which the 20% discount applies until
October 10.
Older people interested in learning more about Aura’s aqua aero-
bics classes are welcome to visit the centre at Claycastle to talk to
an instructor or to telephone the centre at 024 91614 for further
details.

170 STUDENTS DESCEND ON
YOUGHAL FOR YEAR-LONG
ARCHITECTURAL STUDY OF
HISTORIC TOWN
Ciara Hayes & Charlie Whyte
Over 170 students from the Architectural Department of Waterford
Institute of Technology commenced a major collaborative initiative
with Youghal's Heritage Committee on an Architectural appraisal of
the historic town of Youghal.
Kicking off initially with a three day 'think - in' session in the Mall
Arts Centre on 14th September, students from first to fourth year
will take on Youghal's Architectural Heritage as a case study for the
academic year. Students will focus on various projects and will
make regular site visits to Youghal over the course of the year.
Christine Collins & Chloe Walshe
Their efforts will not only provide a stomping ground for enthusias-
tic architectural students but it will also lay the foundation for pro-
moting Youghal's prominence in Architectural Heritage.
Catherine Desmond of the Youghal Heritage Committee explained
how this joint initiative came about: "The Youghal Heritage
Committee approached W.I.T with the idea of their Department of
Architecture undertaking an architectural appraisal on Youghal, to
include vacant structures, sites and buildings of prominence in the
area. Their response was hugely encouraging and they were
extremely eager to come on board. We were delighted to welcome
the 170 students to the town -who will give a completely fresh per-
spective on Youghal's hugely significant and unique heritage." Said
Catherine.Máire Henry, Head of the Department of Architecture in
W.I.T commented on the partnership saying: "W.I.T was thrilled to
become involved with decision makers and local authorities in
Youghal in developing, in a sustainable manner, the built and nat-
ural environment within Youghal. It is one of the key aims of the
Department of Architecture of W.I.T to not only act as a catalyst for
debate but to become actively involved with our students of
Architecture in community supported projects".
The initiative not only showcases Youghal's Architectural Heritage
and exhibits its worthiness of such academic attention, but the eco-
nomic spin - off to the town will also be very valuable throughout
the year. Initially during their three day stay in the town, students
will reside in Carleton Village Holiday Apartments and Villas in
Youghal, providing a welcome boost towards the tail end of the hol-
iday season. Undoubtedly the presence of the students over the
course of the year will also be very beneficial in terms of boosting
the local economy.The initiative has received a positive reaction
from all parties involved, proving the relevance of Youghal's
Heritage. Sean McLoughlin, Youghal Town Architect in supporting
the project intimated: "This initiative gives exposure for new think-
ing on the potential of Youghal's Architecture and it exposes this
potential to the public".

YOUGHAL CAMOGIE CLUB
U16 League County Quarter final Youghal V Kilbree.
The girls have had lots of games at u15 level through out the sum-
mer but not so much at this age group, but they had been coming
together at training in the last few weeks and the training and
preparation had paid off. A long journey was ahead of the team
traveling all the way to west Cork.
The Youghal girls looked the strongest from the whistle and took
charge all the way through the game, fantastic scores came from
all the forward and mid field all putting their names on the score
board. Free taker Shannen Bulman Joyce was on target for all her
frees and was able to knock up a very impressive score line from
play. Surging runs from the mid field pairing of Leah Broderick
and Niamh Quill gave the opposition no chance U14 Aoife
McCarthy was also on top form getting herself on the score sheet
and is sure to be one to watch for the future. The backs had a quite
evening but trainers were able to give all girls some game time
with moving Aoife Siochru and Nora Sheehan from the corners
into the half back line. Youghal lead at the break and it was a clear
run all the way to the final whistle with Kilbree only getting one
chance to score new goalkeeper, Janice Daly making the only save
of the game and impressing the side line.
Unfortunately it was not a testing game for the girls but it gave the
trainers a chance to put players in positions they are not used to
and give the girls some variety in their game. At the break, Captain
Michaela Dalton who has been outstanding in full back all year

Model Andrea in Tipp top

was brought up to full forward and Sally ann Quill went full back
it showed both girls versatility with Michaela being able to pop a
shape for GOAL Jersey Day few scores over the bar and Sally ann doing a fine job in the back

U18 County semi final Youghal 3-6 Blarney 1-4
U18’s have had a great year with matches, only being defeated
once in the league. They had played Blarney earlier in the summer
and knew they were up against it on Saturday.
Blarney were a very physical side with some talented hurlers, they
had a very strong half forward line and the selectors knew that line
would need to hold firm.
Both sides started off strong in the mid field but the first score was
from Youghal with 3 more following, before Blarney were award-
ed a free.
Shannen Bulman Joyce was on fire in wing forward position, scor-
ing a massive 2-5. The side line decided to make a change and
move her in to full forward where she seems to work fantastical-
ly. Roisin O’Keeffe was yet again on top form, she is very aware
of her surroundings and was able to set up Shannen for nearly all
of her points. Before the move was made however, corner for-
ward, Emily Roche, who plays u14 for the club got her name on
the score sheet, scoring a goal before half time.
In the second half Youghal were against the breeze but that did not
deter mid fielder, Leah Broderick who had her game of the season
and deserved the title of player of the match, Leah was fantastic
on the day and settled the mid field at her ease. It was a pity that
she was unable to knock a score over for herself but she can take
credit for a lot of the ones that were taking by her team mates.
Youghal made one change at the break subbing Sally Ann Quill for
Ellie Budds. Ellie who is quick on her feet is improving all the
time and is one to watch out for in the future.
Youghal were awarded a free with ten minutes to go and Shannen
Bulman Joyce again stepped up to the plate, her free taking was on
target all day and her confidence was up, she scored a rocket of a
goal in the top corner of the net leaving the Blarney backs and
their goal keeper with no chance.
Blarney battled on with their scores but it wasn’t enough on the
day, and with moving Michaela Dalton into centre back and Amy
Motherway into full back there was no getting through the
Youghal defence.
Goal keeper Chloe Daly must get a mention also as she is usually
our wing back and a superd player, Chloe got injured half way
through the summer in a Junior game and will be getting surgery
shortly, she bravely stood in Goal for the game carrying an injury
and made some fine saves, we wish her the best of luck with her
operation and know that she will be back on the field in the not to
distant future.
Team Chloe Daly, Ashling Siochru, Michaela Dalton, Norah
Sheehan, Alannah Finn, Amy Motherway, Jane Walsh, Leah
Broderick, Niamh Quill ( c ), Shannen Bulman Joyce, Roisin
O’Keeffe, Suzie Fitzgibbon, Shannon Watson, Sally Ann Quill,
Emily Roche. Subs used Ellie Budds for Sally Ann Quill.
Youghal minors now progress to the County Final who they will
meet either St Vincents or Ballynora, the date is to be confirmed.
Juniors play Ballinascarthy in final of the County league and are
hoping for the double on Saturday at Castle road.

Congratulations to our Under 14's who defeated Erin's Own on
Friday last and our now through to the final of the Football

Under 10's Aghada Hurling League, Final Day Blitz. 11th
September in Rostellan. Youghal travelled to Rostellan on
Saturday 11th September to take part in the brilliantly organised
Aghada Hurling League Finals. Youghal were supposed to field
two teams but with injuries and late withdrawals, we could only
field one. However, the lads wore the jersey with pride and played
all games.
First up was Erin's Own who matched Youghal point for point
until a late goal from Jake Cooper sealed the match for Youghal.
No rest for the lads who had to fulfil all the fixtures and straight
away took on Sarsfields B. Youghal had the edge in the game until
Sarsfield sprung a few subs into the forward line to win the game.
Youghal's third game was against
Russell Rovers, and tiredness was
now setting in. Full credit to Russell
Rovers who won the game in what
can only be described as a very close
match.
Whilst the toll of continuous games
was now really telling on the lads, the
prospect of taking on rivals Midleton
lifted their spirits and Youghal went
Youghal Intermediate Hurling Panel who lost to Tracton in the County Semi-Final on Saturday last
on to win the game. Next up was Killeagh. Youghal had the wind
at their backs and with Ruaidhri McSweeney kept raining down
sliotars on the Killeagh back line, Youghal pushed on to win the
match.
Sarsfields A was their last match but at this stage, players, mentors
and supporters were on their last legs. Youghal held Sarsfields at
bay for most of the match, but in the end they just ran out of steam
and Sarsfield went on to win. Huge credit must go to the 14 lads
who played six continuous matches lasting over 2 hours and
would have played six more matches if asked. Outstanding on the
day were Jack McGrath, Jack Dorrian & Tiernan McCarthy, who
it must be said had been going hell for leather in the previous few
training sessions.
Thanks to Aghada for a great day out which was brilliantly organ-
ised. Thanks to all the teams we played against during the course
of the league and we look forward to renewing acquaintances in
the future. Also, a big thank you for the many supporters for their
continued encouragement
15th September Youghal v Cloyne - Junior Football Youghal
Junior Footballers played Cloyne in the Divison 3 League on
Wednesday 15th Sept in Cloyne. Youghal were going into this
game un- beaten. We fielded a completely different team because
of the involvement of a number of players on the Intermediate
hurling panel. We started playing against the wind and found it
difficult because Cloyne were playing very well but we gradual-
ly found our game plan and went in with the score 1/2 Eochaill,
Cloyne 1/6. Second half we started playing more open play and
eventually brought the lead back,we were just 1 point away from
the lead when Cloyne went up field and got a goal. But we stead-
ed the ship again and eventually went out winners on 2/7 Cloyne
2/9 Eochaill. This means if we beat Carrigtwohill in our next
game we will be in the League Final.

 Killeagh/Ita’s Juvenile GAA
Bhíomar an-ghnóthach arís i rith na seachtaine seo caite, and
given the week that was in it, it was appropriate that football took
precedence. Here's a roundup of the action.
U-10 Parish Leagues Our Under 10 Football Parish Leagues
concluded on Sunday morning as 44 committed players battled
gamely for over an hour in the final day of action. At the conclu-
sion of the three rounds on Thursday last, Padraig Leahy's Yellow
team were unbeaten, and they maintained this record as they over-
came Darragh Geary's Blue team in the semi-final, and then
defeated Kieran Daly's Reds in a cracking A final. Cian McDonald
was literally unbeatable in goal as the Reds blasted shot after shot
but could not find a way past him, and the Yellows prevailed on a
scoreline of 1-5 to o-3.In the B Final, Andrew Foley's Green team
maximised their numerical advantage to defeat the Blues in a
game of high drama, with Olan Broderick's last minute pile-driv-
er lashing against the crossbar. Unfortunately for Olan and his
team mates, this left them 2 points adrift on a scoreline of 3-1 to
2-2. So congratulations to the Greens and Yellows, but in truth, all
players deserve great credit for making these leagues so exciting.
Many thanks to the moms, dads, grandparents and other family
members whose positive support added greatly to the occasion,
and to our four dedicated and enthusiastic managers Alan, Kevin,
Tom and Declan. Should Conor Counihan decide to step down, we
could suggest a name or two to step in to his shoes!! Thanks also
to Ursula for her diligence in hunting down trophies, and for sup-
plying the essential goodies at the end of the morning's activities.
A day in Páirc Uí Chinnéíde that those young boys will surely
remember for many a long time to come!
U-10 Hurling Mayfield paid a visit to us on Saturday last, and we
had a most enteratining match. It was somewhat unusual to be
back playing 15-a-side after our recent emphasis on 10 and 11-a-
side games. Our Under 10's, supplemented by four Under 9's,
played the first half, and held an eight point lead at half-time,
when they trooped off and were replaced by an Under 9 selection,
which also included our two Under 8 regulars, Robbie and Ben.
We competed really well for this half, but Mayfield's age advan-
tage allowed them to whittle back the lead and to hold the upper
hand when the final whistle blew. Many thanks to Mayfield for the
visit.
U-16 A Football Championship It was a week of mixed emotions
and fortunes for our Fé 16 footballers. Paired with the Glanmire
boys in the quarter final stages of this year's Fé 16 'A' East Cork
Football Championship, we had a big task ahead of us, especially
when you cast your mind back to last year when we came up
against these young men. Daunting as the task seemed, we had
prepared well and travelled to the Pike field on Monday last to
contest this challenge. A goal in the opening few minutes for the
Glamnire boys had set them on their way and had us thinking, are
we in for a re run of '09? However our lads settled into the game
after this early setback and David Cahill got us off the mark with
a fine point. Glanmire increased their lead with a further two
points before Decky Long gathered the liathroid and headed
towards the Glanmire goal, beating their defence and side step-
ping their goalie, he secured our opening goal. On the seventeenth
minute Eoghan Keniry booted over a lovely point to bring the
boys in green on level terms with our hosts, 1-2 apiece. We wit-
nessed some lovely football in the closing stages of this half, with
both teams exchanging points, two to one, in our favour to leave
the half time score reading 1-4 to 1-3, advantage to Killeagh-Ita's.
We are still wondering, was Conor Counihan in the dressing room
for the half time pep talk, because our lads came out with all guns
blazing and totally dominated the opening quarter, securing some
brilliant points and increasing our lead by a further four points,
with Dave Cahill scoring twice and one each from Matthew
Murphy and Jerome Glavin.
Glanmire converted a free, to open their scoring of this half which
gave them the will to fight back and they secured two more, but
we defended with every ounce of energy and held on to our lead
as the final whistle approached. Just before it sounded Thomas O
as the final whistle approached. Just before it sounded Thomas O
Connor tapped over our final point of the game, which saw us
book our place in this year's semi final - final score Killeagh-Ita's
1-9; Glanmire 1-6.
Our semi-final opponents were near neighbours Kiltha Óg. We
hosted this game in Pairc Uí Chinnéide on Saturday evening last
under the watchful eye of referee Ian O'Brien of Midleton. We wit-
nessed a closely fought opening half, with both teams defending
resolutely, but it was our visitors who held a slight advantage as
the short whistle sounded, 0-5 to 0-3. Martin O'Driscoll opened
the scoring for us in the second half, but it was the Kiltha boys
who won the breaks and had a little luck on their side and went on
to dominate this
half, securing a
brace of points
without reply from
us, try as we might.
They were eventu-
ally comfortable
winners on the day
and we wish them
every success in
the forthcoming
final. Well done
U-10 Parish Leagues 2010 (Yellow). boys - the
Glanmire victory was very encouraging and reward for the effort
put in by management and players, and Saturday was just a bridge
too far.
Congratulations To all those who received Junior Cert results this
month - well done! Now lean ar aghaidh leis an obair!
Killeagh Camogie Club
At this stage of the year Castle Road feels like home ground, hav-
ing played a number of matches there in the last few weeks.
Nevertheless the thrill of anticipation never goes and never more
so as on a fine day as Saturday 25th Sept turned out to be. Our sen-
ior B team continue to climb the ladder which is a place in the
County final a rung at a time.
A neat pass from Noelle O Donovan saw Kate Murphy on hand to
land the sliotar in the bak of the net! Claire Keohane, Jessica O
Shea, Noelle and Annie Walsh all added points to the scoreboard.
All the while Marie and Sandra Smiddy and young Aoife Walsh
were working together to prevent Newcestown from retaliating.
Kate Murphy was on hand yet again to take a great pass from
Claire all the way into the back of the net. Angela walsh in real Joe
Deane style scored a point from way out on the wing and Annie
had point No 8 as the half time whistle blew.
Re-energised Newcestown had the first point of the second half
from a 45. In turn Angela had point No 9 and Kate scored from a
free. Brid Stack and Jessica O Shea were providing the forwards
with lots of ball which they in turn put to good use. Annies foot-
balling skills came in handy as she kicked over a point in the 17th
minute. Stephanie Beausang was making sure that nothing went
past the posts at the Killeagh goals. Deirdra Cunningham, Shauna
Landers,Roisin Culligan and Eanna O Neill all worked well when
brought on as subs. The substitutions contributed to goal No 3
scored by Noelle and our final goal of the game scored by Angela.
Jessica and Claire (Captain) ended the game with a point a piece.
The full time score was 4-12 to 0-2. This great victory has us up
at the top of the ladder and ready to take on the might of Eire Og
in the County Final.
A few weeks of hard training will be required to be fit and ready
for the big day.
Well done to Ciara Daly on captaining our victorious U14 Inch
Rovers who beat Mayfield in the East Cork football final in
Carrigtwohill on Saturday 25th Sept- a great win and well
deserved. Again well done to the Killeagh girls on the Imokilly
panel that drew with Ballinhassig on Sunday 26th in the Senior
County Championship Semi -final.

Centre, the doctors and staff at Waterford Regional Hospital, the staff at The
Sacred Heart Unit Dungarvan, all her kind friends and neighbours for their help
and support, the sacristan, grave diggers, alter servers, choir, and all those who
participated in the funeral mass. Thanks to O'Brien Bros Funeral Directors for all
their help and services. Our thanks also to Rev. Fr. Pat Condon PP Knockanore,
Canon Tom Browne, Fr. J. Mulcahy, Fr. P. Fitzgerald P.E., Fr. C. O'Donovan and

to one and all. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
First Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Friday the 1st of October
2010 in The Sacred Heart Church Knockanore at 7.30pm.

CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY

Carbon monoxide is known as “the silent killer.” You cannot see
it, smell it or taste it. CO claims the lives of nearly 300 people
in their homes each year according to the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC). CO is a deadly gas that is
produced by fuel-burning heating equipment, such as furnaces,
wood stoves, fireplaces, and kerosene heaters. Follow these
guidelines to help keep your family safer.
*Carbon monoxide (CO) is a deadly gas that you cannot see or
smell.
* Put a CO alarm in your home. The CO alarm can warn you if
too much CO is in your home.
* Install a CO alarm near the area where your family sleeps.
Know the sound your alarm makes if there is too much CO in
the room.
Potential CO Sources: CO can build up in your home if you use
equipment and appliances that burn fuel but are not working
properly. Have a service person check these things every year to
be sure they are working properly.
* Gas or oil-burning furnace
* Gas water heater
*Gas or kerosene burning heater
* Gas oven or stove
* Fireplace or wood stove
The following equipment
should only be used outside
* Car engines and other motors
* Generators
* Barbeque or gas grill
