BALLYNOE COMMUNITY
COUNCIL AND MUINTIR NA
TIRE TACKLE ISSUES OF
COMMUNITY MENTAL
HEALTH AND MONEY ADVICE
Muintir na Tíre, which provided a national helpline number for
rural people cut off by the recent spell of bad weather, is one of the
longest established Community Development movements in
Europe. Cork County Federation Muintir na Tíre is delighted to be
involved with an upcoming Information Seminar in Ballynoe
Community Centre on Thursday March 4th.This follows on high-
ly successful similar events at Killeagh, Kilbrin and Ballyphehane.
Both Muintir and Ballynoe Community Council believe that infor-
mation about health matters and other issues should be given
directly to people in their own communities in a relaxed friendly
setting. The seminar on March 4th will see Mary Twomey, Clinical
Health Nurse Specialist, talk about Mental Health Care and Anna
Lane of MABS talk about the very relevant topic of Money
Advice and Budgeting.
Finbarr Motherway of Muintir speaking at the launch of 2010
series of Community Health Seminars said that while there is an
abundance of information available today through the internet and
other media outlets people are often unsure as to what is hype and
what is factual. "We believe that our Seminar series is a great way
of getting real information to seniors. We invite experts in who
speak in a relaxed friendly setting and this is followed by supper
and a social event. The audience are encouraged to feel free to ask
questions of the experts on issues that concern them. Brendan
Scahill, Community Worker with HSE Cork North, said they were
delighted to be associated with this year's series of Health
Information Seminars and are especially pleased that Ballynoe had
Youghal News.....March 4th 2010
decided to tackle these very relevant issues in their Seminar.
Therese O Keeffe of Ballynoe Community Council said they were
delighted to host their second seminar at Ballynoe Community
Centre on Thursday the 4th of March at 7.30pm. Therese said that
they were looking forward to meeting old friends from Conna,
Killeagh/Inch, Dungourney and other neighbouring parishes.
Pat Kirby of Cork County Federation Muintir na Tíre paid tribute
to the support given by Pfizer Ireland Community Nursing
Advisor Sinead Fitzgerald to the overall Series of Seminars. "She
is most supportive: not only does Pfizer help us financially but
they have also done health tests,such as Cholesterol and Blood
pressure checks, at some of the sessions".
Pat said she was especially looking forward to the Information
Seminar in Ballynoe where local musicians and special guests will
provide entertainment for visitors and locals alike.

Stanton Calls for Examination
of Opening Youghal Rail Link
Cork East Fine Gael TD, David Stanton has recentlycalled on the
Government to look into the possibility of extending the Cork-
Midleton rail line to Youghal.
“The Midleton rail link has been a huge success since it was
opened last year. Commuters use the train for daily travel to work
in Cork, but many people also use it to travel to Midleton from
Cork city all week. I imagine if the line were extended to Youghal,
the town would benefit in exactly the same way.
“The closure of the railway line in Youghal in the 1970s did a huge
disservice to the town’s tourism potential. Youghal town is a pop-
ular tourist spot given its historical sights and great beach. A rail
link from Cork city and east Cork would surely enhance tourism
as the town would be more easily accessible.
“A regular railway service should also benefit Youghal industry
which has suffered by factory closures in recent years. Given its
distance from Cork airport and harbour, improving the towns
transport connections is essential if industry is to be attracted and
retained in the town. It would also enhance the potential to devel-
op local indigenous industry.
“I am calling on the Government to examine the extension of the
rail line to Youghal. A railway link in the town would be a great
boost to the local community, industry and tourism.

IMPRESSED GATHERING ATTENDS LAUNCH OF
FOROIGE YOUTH CENTRE AND CAFÉ
By Christy Parker
Ombudsman for Children Emily Logan was the guest of honour at
the official launch of Youghal Foroige's Youth Centre and Café at
Nagle House, South Abbey. The premises currently accommodate
the offices of three valuable youth projects -the Youghal Youth
Café, Youghal Garda Youth Diversion Project and the Youghal
Community based Drugs Initiative. It is also home to a burgeon-
ing range of youth activities and options.
Ms. Logan was one of several dignitaries that visited the town for
the occasion.
The list of speakers who travelled to attend included Ryan Howard
of South East Cork Area Development (SECAD), Detective
Inspector Brian Dowling deputising for Garda Superintendent Flor
Horan), Foroige Area Manager Denis O'Brien, Brendan Dempsey,
Regional President of the St. Vincent de Paul, Peadar King,
Chairman of the Regional Drugs Taskforce and Mairi McMahon,
Vice-Chair of the national Council of Foroige.
Present from the more local community were Chairwoman of the
Youghal Youth Development Committee Katrine Twomey, youth
film producer Gavin Hurley, the Seaside Girls -2009 under-14's Y
Factor winners, Foroige youth participants Killian and Denise
Collins, Catherine Curly, volunteer with the Hot Spot youth café
and Darragh Lee, the 2009 over-14's Y Factor winner.
Last, first and at all times in between were the excellently adept
young MC's Adaline Roddy and Bobbi Donoghue, whose elo-
quence and enthusiasm ensured the flow of speakers arrived and
departed the stage appropriately.
The Hot Spot café was a room united in purpose as it hosted a pol-
ished ceremony that was informal and good-humoured, with the
speakers delivering their thoughts briefly and sincerely.
Tour of excellence
Prior to the ceremony, guests were afforded a tour of the location
and nobody could fail to be extremely impressed by what they
saw. Nagle House has evolved -and continues to evolve- into a
positive, enriching environment, where colour and light reassures
the senses and where every one of the dozen or so rooms in use
suggests involvement, inspiration and idealism. From the down-
stairs café, music and new sports room to the upstairs blue room
with its massage seat that shares the corridor with the administra-

tion offices, a wonderful air of opportunity persists.
Against this background the various speakers addressed the gath-
ering. It would be impossible to recount all contributions but the
following points were amongst those illustrated:
Youghal Youth Development Committee
Katrine Twomey explained that the Youth Development
Committee included representatives of SECAD, an Garda,
Foroige, Youthreach, the Southern Regional Drugs Taskforce,
Pobalscoil na Trionoide, the Community development Project and
RAPID. There were many youth projects running in the town at
present, she said and the committee were considering options for
possible usage of the remaining half of Nagle House, in consulta-
tion with it owners, the St. Vincent de Paul, and SECAD. In diffi-
cult times, she said, "the youth centre will always have a positive
environment for interaction."
A song and an Area Manager
Following a highly accomplished performance from The Seaside
Girls, accompanied by youth worker and singer/songwriter/gui-
tarist extraordinaire Bobby Lee, Foroige Area Manager Denis
O'Brien took to the podium. He reviewed the history of Foroige in
the area, recalling various achievements and disappointments. He
said a turning point arrived when Youghal acquired RAPID status
as a town with socio-economic needs and was allocated badly
needed funding.
Mr. O'Brien elaborated and said the recruitment of full time youth
worker Nicola Lucey followed and sparked a gradual improve-
ment in fortunes for Youghal's youth initiatives. A relationship
with the St. Vincent de Paul evolved and culminated in the Society
providing the rent-free usage of half the space in Nagle House. He
thanked the Society for their invaluable contribution towards
theirs and Foroige's "common goals of social justice and human
development."
The manager observed that in recent years Youghal Foroige has
won funding for a drugs project and for a Garda Diversion project,
which brought an expanded youth service and three more workers.
"In 2009 more than 335 young people used this premises," he
noted. "That makes everything worthwhile." He thanked all
involved, "especially the staff who work from Nagle House and
who did so amidst cold and dust, during its two-year refurbish-
ment."
Drugs
In his first official engagement since being appointed last
September, Peadar King, Chairman of the Regional
Drugs Taskforce delivered high praise for the centre, cit-
ing "very good infrastructure" as essential for delivering
good quality services. He also reflected that this year
will see the introduction into the Constitution a whole
new plateau of children's rights. "The actually details are
really, really impressive. It's been a very good week for
children and should be celebrated," he surmised.
Mr. King said the SRDT was contributing €37,000 of
public money to the Nagle House project. In 2009, he
said, 55 local young people and 40 family members were
Denise Collins

CENTRE AND CAFÉ
said, 55 local young people and 40 family members were assisted
and supported by drugs force workers Eric Trihy and Debby Long.
He described the SRTD as working through brief intervention,
applying programmes and principles to assist those struggling
with reliance and addiction, "including getting them to the stage of
abstinence."
Garda
Detective Inspector Brian Dowling of Midleton Garda station
spoke on the Garda Youth Diversion Project, which is being co-
ordinated from Nagle House by Catherine Ryan and Kieran
McCarthy. The garda said the programme "aimed to divert people
away from behaviour likely to draw the attention of the local gar-
dai" and arose from reconstructed community policing. "It aims to
foster collaborative partnerships between gardai and community
organisations," he proceeded. The appointment of a community
garda, such as Peter Queally in Youghal, was part of the process.
The inspector remarked on a successful enterprise in 2009, which
saw local gardai play soccer matches against boys involved in the
project. He then made a 'man of the match' award for "outstanding
skill" to young player Justin McCarthy who, he presented with a
Munster rugby jersey. Asked for a comment, young McCarthy
replied with un-hesitating honesty, "The gardai are brutal at soc-
cer!"
Zombies
Gavin Curley, 14, introduced "Zombie House Hunters," a brief
film project which he helped produce as part of last year's East
Cork Film Project. Gavin appreciated how the project had intro-
duced him to camera usage "and all the different aspects of film
making." It had brought him "one step closer to being the next
Steven Spielberg!" he joked (I think). The film brought a highly
entertaining portrayal of the more ghoulish potential of house
hunting and should be compulsory for all those equally scary
estate agents.
Personal experiences
Denise Collins and Killian Daly, 19 and 17 respectively, then
spoke of their involvement with Foroige Youth Services since its
inauguration in 2005. Denise, a member of Inch Foroige for five
years, recalled being low in confidence initially. In her second
year she engaged with Youghal youth projects and subsequently
became involved with the youth café, before joining the East Cork
Youth Council, where she still serves. At 18 she became a youth
leader, undertaking Foroige 1, 2 and 3 level training. She is
presently contemplating a course in youth work. She said she
"would not have discovered how much I like youth work were it
not for Foroige. Its many programmes ensured I had to talk to dif-

ferent kinds of people," thus increasing her confidence.
Killian -"most people call me Butterbean" - joined the Foroige
Youth project in 2005 and became involved with the youth club in
2009. He was "just a bystander for the first year" but thereafter
"came out of my shell." He subsequently became a member of the
youth café committee and an active member of both the East Cork
Youth Council and the Garda Youth Diversion soccer group. He
has particularly enjoyed the various indoor and outdoor activities
that Foroige provides. His confidence nurtured, he may yet follow
a path as a social worker later in life, he said.
St. Vincent de Paul
St. Vincent de Paul Regional Secretary Brendan Dempsey was
"really impressed" by the current structure of Nagle House. "We
used to use it as a holiday home for pensioners but it had deterio-
rated and would have cost about €2m to bring it the required hol-
iday standards today," he explained. He was "particularly delight-
ed" with the community Garda involvement, given the high regard
in which that policing initiative was held throughout the county.
Recalling how Foroige had tabled an acceptable proposal for half
of the building, he said, there would be "no opposition from me if
you want the second half.." In conclusion, he acknowledged the
role of Nano Nagle founder of the Presentation Sisters, from
whom the St. Vincent de Paul acquired the building.
National Council of Foroige and Nicola Lucey
Chairwoman of the National Council of Foroige, Mairi McMahon,
was a most appropriate guest having, as she described, "started out
as a Presentation Sisters Novice before ending up in Foroige!" She
said Foroige "believes strongly in the beauty, dignity and value of
every person." Ms. McMahon welcomed the variety of resources
that enabled the Youghal centre to "provide for many kinds of
activities in a welcoming atmosphere." Within its walls, were to be
found opportunities for "learning, relaxation, participation and
responsibility," she observed.
As a volunteer leader herself the chairwoman welcomed the rela-
tively high number of volunteers who gave up at least two hours
weekly to help Youghal youth projects. These included about ten
youth café volunteers, volunteers overseeing music projects that
catered for about 40 young people and two volunteers with the
drugs project. She hoped they all derived as much satisfaction
from their participation as she did from hers.
Acknowledging the contribution of all parties, Ms. McMahon par-
ticularly thanked Nicola Lucey for her "tireless" endeavours over
4 ½ years, during which "she sourced many of the grants to fund
Nagle House, recruited and trained volunteers and worked dili-
gently with young people, showing them Foroige's purpose and
philosophy." She wished Nicola all the best on her upcoming
departure and also in her life as a new mother. The applause for
Nicola was deservedly earnest and resounding.

SECAD support
Ryan Howard of SECAD said his organisation was delighted to
support Foroige through the years. No less important than funding
and administrative support, he said, was the "need to believe" in
order to develop the skills and commitment to achieve dreams. He
urged all concerned to "keep the process going" and SECAD
would continue to support projects to the best of its ability.
Café volunteer
A mother of five Catherine Curley described the challenge and sat-
isfaction of being a volunteer worker in the Hot Spot youth café.
She recognised it as "a safe place for young people to hang out"
but also a wonderful place for her, where genuine friendships were
easily forged. She had got to understand young people better and
had gained confidence through her participation.

CREDIT UNION MANAGER
RETURNS FROM GHANA
Barry Treacy, Manager of Youghal Credit Union Ltd., has recent-
ly returned from a sixteen day coaching programme in Ghana.
Barry, along with another Irish representative, was selected to rep-
resent the Irish League of Credit Unions International Foundation
in their voluntary roles as coaches in assisting credit unions in
Ghana. The programme involved visiting three credit unions and
assisting them in various areas where they believed they had prob-
lems. After visiting each credit union a written report was present-
ed to each credit union’s Board of Directors as recommendations
to solve their problem areas. Approximately five hundred Credit
Unions have been up and running in Ghana since the 1980’s .A
number of credit unions require assistance to further develop and
grow. Barry says that he was able to see first hand the role that
credit unions played in reducing poverty and setting people up
with small businesses to advance themselves. The programme was
initially established by the Canadian credit union movement and
last year was the first time Ireland became involved.

CALENDAR GIRL PAULINE
BRINGS CASH INJECTION
TO HOSPITAL
By Christy Parker
Youghal's Community Hospital is €4,000 richer thanks to an
amazing fundraising effort by local artist Pauline Neville Scott.
The painter has sold a phenomenal 800 calendars depicting local
scenes, from 20-year archive. The sales were recorded at about a
dozen outlets either side of Youghal's environs, including
Ardmore. Every cent of each €5 sale went directly to the hospital
and, with some stock remaining, is likely to do so further.
The calendars portray mostly oil-bases works, each reflective of
the seasons, with Youghal and Ardmore beaches included amongst
them. "I was very pleasantly surprised that they sold so well and I
think it reflects very much the high regard in which the hospital is
held by the community," says Pauline. The painter understands
high regard, being one of the Neville's of the long-established and
popular Neville's Drapery on North Main Street.
Youghal Community Hospital opened in 1935 under the old
District Hospital system as managed by county councils. Its origi-
nal incarnation saw it provide maternity and minor surgery servic-
es. In the 1980's the HSE acquired control and re-structured such
hospitals as Community hospitals. Since then, the Youghal hospi-
tal has been providing "a 'step down' service, including recupera-
tion and hospice care," says acting matron Anne O'Dwyer.
The hospital currently has 30 long-term residents & patients,
accommodated across ten single rooms and three wards divided
into four-bed sections. There are four respite beds and two each of
hospice and community care convalescence beds.
Overseeing these services are 54 full and part-time staff of 20
nurses and multi-task attendants. The hospital does not recognise
"any cut-off point, geographically and arrivals hail from across the
bridge as well as east Cork.
While the HSE provides primary funding, the hospital depends on
regular initiatives by its committee and patrons to maintain and
upgrade its general standards. "Last year our fundraising enabled
us to buy modern, hygienic, washable screens to replace the old-
time bed curtains," says Anne. "We also bought hoists for the beds,
some flat-screen TVs and a DVD for the sitting room. I can't begin
to express how grateful we are to everyone who has supported us
in any way through the years."

 FIRST HOLY COMMUNION & CONFIRMATION DAYS
WHAT IS THE
SACRAMENT OF
CONFIRMATION?
Confirmation is a continuance of what began in Baptism. In
Ireland most people are baptised as infants. So Confirmation
is an opportunity for them to consciously enter more deeply
into the life of faith which was begun in Baptism.
Just before Jesus ascended into heaven, he told the Apostles
to spread the Good News to the whole world. He then prom-
ised that he would be always with them. The significance of
this promise failed to register with them until the first

Pentecost, the day the Apostles were filled with the Holy
Spirit. With the power of the Holy Spirit, they had the
courage to speak out and proclaim the Word of God.
On our Confirmation day, we receive the gift of the same
Holy Spirit. The liturgy of Confirmation begins with the
renewal of the baptismal promises, a clear indication that
Confirmation follows on from Baptism. The sacramental
sign of Confirmation is the anointing with the oil of chrism
with the words, ‘Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit’.
‘This seal of the Holy Spirit marks our total belonging to
Christ ‘ (CCC 1296). The person being anointed is called by
name. We remember God’s words spoken long ago to the
prophets in the Old Testament: ‘I have called you by name,
you are mine.’ This is a further sign that the person now
belongs to Christ.
With outstretched hands over all of the candidates the cele-
brant calls on God to pour out the gifts of the Holy Spirit on
all of the candidates, the gifts of Wisdom, Understanding,
Right Judgement, Courage, Knowledge, Reverence, Wonder
and Awe in the presence of God.
The sponsor in Confirmation is often the same sponsor as
that for Baptism, another sign of the connection between the
two sacraments. Again the role of the sponsor is to offer sup-
port to the newly confirmed in their lives as followers of
Jesus.
Veritas offer a diverse range of religious and inspirational
gifts which relate to what Confirmation is all about. We
stock children’s literature, prayer books, rosary beads, reli-
gious medals and candles.
"CAUTION"
 FIRST HOLY COMMUNION & CONFIRMATION DAYS
The Sacrament of the Eucharist -
First Holy Communion
The word ‘communion’ means to be united with. Catholics
believe that in holy communion they are united in a special way
with Jesus Christ, that they are sharing in the body and blood of
Christ the Saviour. Holy Communion, and the whole service

thanksgiving.
The Sacrament of the Eucharist (First Holy Communion) is a
Roman Catholic ceremony. It is the colloquial name for a person's
first celebration of the sacrament of the Eucharist. The celebration

on March Bookings
of First Eucharist is a sacred and important moment on a long
journey of faith development. Together with Baptism and
Confirmation, it opens the door to full membership of the

Christian community. At the ceremony, each child receives
Communion, normally in the form of a small round piece of bread
placed by the Priest in the palms of their hands.

Photography
Most Catholic children receive their First Communion when
they’re seven or eight years of age because this is considered the
age of reason. This means that most children are usually in second
class in school when they make their First Communion.
In order for to receive communion the recipient should be without
sin and in a state of grace. Traditionally, therefore young Catholic
children will make their first confession, i.e. the Sacrament of Tel: 024 92568

to Mass regularly and helping your child understand what it is all
about. If there is a children’s Mass you can take your child to that
and encourage him or her to participate.

This in Memory”.
This usually takes
place once a month

WHAT’S ON AT THE MALL ARTS
CENTRE?
We were all saddened to hear the loss of puppeteer and ventrilo-
quist Eugene Lambert last week, what a great man he was.
Mr Lambert was well-known for his role in the children's televi-
sion series Wanderly Wagon as 'O'Brien' and the 1960s puppet
series for children Murphy agus a Chairde .
He founded the Lambert Puppet Theatre in
Monkstown, Co Dublin, in 1972.
Next Sunday his daughter Paula Lambert
will be making a trip down to Youghal
with her very own show “Snow White”,
performing two shows on Sunday, March
7th at 2pm and 4pm in The Mall Arts
Centre.
Paula Lambert was the 'Bosco' voice on
TV for seventeen years and indeed Bosco
is still a firm favourite with the younger
children and will make a nostalgic appearance in the opening part
of the Show.
Tickets are on sale at Crees Card Shop at €10 but HURRY!
Tickets are selling fast!
The following weekend on Saturday March 13th, at the centre we
have Meantime Theatre Company from Cork presenting The Good
Father. Directed by Maria Moynihan and starring James Browne
and Una Kirwan, Christian O’Reilly’s ‘The Good Father’ is a con-
temporary love story of how two people starting at the end try to
reach a new beginning.
Tim and Jane are from different sides of the class divide, but when
a random meeting at a New Year’s Eve party leads to an unexpect-
ed pregnancy they attempt to form a relationship against all odds.
Jack O'Rourke, music teacher at Pobalscoil na Trionoide, will pro-
vide an originally-composed live piano score for ‘The Good
Father’. Jack studied music and composition
at University College Cork and has worked
musically on other exciting theatre projects
such as Dark Week, a promenade piece at the
Everyman Palace Theatre for Cork
Midsummer Festival 2005, where he collabo-
rated with Cork chanteuse Annette Buckley.
He also composed the haunting piano score
for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at The
Granary Theatre last year. He fronts folk-rock
band, Front Porch and will be supporting
Luka Bloom in St. Mary's Church, Youghal,
on Saturday 20th March.
Jack is hugely enjoying his first year at
Pobalscoil na Trionoide. He hopes that the
inhabitants of his new hometown will come
out to support The Good Father at the Mall
Arts Centre, and that everyone enjoys the
show!

 Nikita Savage Competes
For Ireland In Celtic
International in Cardiff
Massive new PB for Nikita Savage
On Sunday the 21st of February the
Celtic Senior and U20 International
took place at the Cardiff University
Indoor Arena in Wales. Nikita
Savage represented Ireland in the
U20 Women's Pole Vault
Competition; Nikita was chosen to
represent Ireland following her 3rd
place finish in the Irish Senior cham-
pionships in Belfast two weeks pre-
viously when she cleared 3.20
metres.
In Cardiff Nikita put in what could
be described as the performance of the career so far, Nikita opened
the competition with a first time clearance at 3.01 metres and fol-
lowed that with another first time clearance at 3.21 metres. The
bar went to 3.36 which were 6cm above her previous best and
Nikita duly cleared the 3.36 mark with a first time clearance. The
bar was raised to 3.51 where Nikita was unlucky on her first
attempt but made no mistake on her second attempt to secure her
second PB in a row.
Nikita was unlucky with her three attempts at 3.66 metres where
she failed and exited the competition in 3rd place overall.
Nikita's clearance at 3.51 metres increased her previous best by a
massive 21 centimetres and leaves her just 9 centimetres short if
the Irish U20 indoor record considering that Nikita has another
year at U20 level, she looks like grabbing that record that was set
back in 2003.
Cosy Comforts for St
Mary’s Collegiate Church
Thanks to the very kind services of Cork Prison, concerts at St
Mary’s Collegiate Church will be a lot more comfortable. Regular
monthly concerts have been held in the church over the last few
months, organised by Sacred Root Productions, with acts such as
Mick Flannery, John Spillane, Liam O’Maonlaoi, Kila and only last
weekend Declan O’Rourke. As part of their education programme,
Cork Prison take on sewing projects in communities to keep the
prisoners occupied and at the same time teaching them a new skill.
Oona Colin, Events Co-ordinator of St Mary’s Collegiate Church
contacted Colm O’Herlihy, Education Officer and asked him if he
would be interested in taking on a project of making almost 60 cush-
ions for the pews above at the church. After speaking with his col-
leagues, Colm was delighted to take on the project collaborating
with Orla Hannon, Industrial Supervisor and Mary Mulholland,
Health Education Officer with certain prisoners, in the making of
these cushions. Measurements were taken of each pew, as they all
vary in size and the result is beautifullly coloured, thick cushions for
the enjoyment of concert goers and tourists alike. The foam and fab-
ric were very kindly supplied by Cork Prison.
The church is currently undergoing a little facelift, making it much
more pleasing to the eye. The very old and used plastic partition
separating the chancel from the nave is also due to be replaced by a
beautiful royal blue velvet curtain, more appropriate to the setting of
this beautiful 13th century church. A fundraising concert is planned
for the end of May, with the collaboration of local community
groups, in the hope of raising funds towards installing a heating sys-
tem. Heating an ancient stone building such as this, with high ceil-
ings is quite a task and quite costly. We hope that the people of
Youghal and surrounding areas will come along and support this
good cause, making concerts more enjoyable and comfortable for
all.

 CLAYCASTLE PITCH & PUTT
After many years working on the course as a member of FAS club
stalwart Michael Landers has retired. Michaels dedication to the
club is second to none and will be hugely missed by both FAS and
Claycastle Pitch and Putt Club. Thankfully Michael will remain on
the committee in his position as treasurer and will undoubtedly be
a huge help to those of us attempting to step into his shoes.
Our course is recognised as one of the top 5 in the country and the
condition in which it is maintained earns plaudits from all who
have the pleasure of playing it during the year .All these plaudits
must go directly to Michael who has kept the course in top class
condition almost single-handedly for the past 12 years.
As a new era dawns on the club we would like thank Michael for
his tireless dedication to the both the course and club and wish him
all the best in his long overdue retirement.
Club Leagues
Round 5- Team A- 95, Team B- 101. Team C- 96, Team D- 102,
Team E-91. Its all to play for going into the last round of the
leagues, Team A look to have cemented their place in the final with
the last spot being fought for by Teams C,D and E. Team B need a
low score in the final round to have any chance of progression.
Round 6- Team A 90, Team B 93, Team C 99, Team D 100, Team
E 98. Final Standings A-357, E- 371,C- 377, D- 378, B 380
The A team of Martin O’ Regan, Ted Healy, Joan Hyde and Declan
O’ Shea will now contest the final against the E team of Thomas
Bulman, Martin Dalton, Teresa McCarthy and John Wallace on
Sunday March 7th at 2.30pm.The final will be played over 36
holes with 3 scores to count. Best of luck to both teams.
County League Round 3
The senior team had an impressive win over the St.Annes team by
a margin of 8.5 to .5 in Fermoy last Sunday. Leading 2.5 - .5 after
the fourballs the lads went on to whitewash St.Annes 6-0 in the
singles the highlights being captain Martin ‘chipper’ Keohane’s
last hole victory over intercounty star Frank Dineen and Paudie O’
Sullivan’s superb performance in beating John O’ Sullivan. With
one foot in the semi-final the senior team can be proud of their
achievements to date but must be wary not to take anything for
granted in the coming weeks.
Unfortunately the inters suffered defeat to a strong Rocklodge
team in E.S.B. by a margin of 6.5 - 2.5 and are now eliminated.
Hopefully the lads can pick up at least one victory in the coming
weeks. Experience counts for a lot in these leagues and the lads can
hold their heads high after coming close in each game to date and
will undoubtedly challenge again next year.
Round 4 The senior team continued their magnificent run with a
9-0 thrashing of Rocklodge at the Pfizers course in Ringaskiddy
last Sunday. With Paudie and Gary O’ Sullivan in London to watch
the ‘egg’ cup final Michael Landers and John Sloane were called
upon to fill the huge void left by our 2 top players. They didn’t dis-
appoint and produced some great play, the highlight being Mikie’s
fine win over Kevin McCarthy in the singles. Next up for the sen-
iors is a trip to Collins where they will take on Riverside where
victory will guarantee a semi-final berth with one game to play.
The inters fought bravely yet again against the favourite ESB but
went down by 7 - 2.Reports from the game suggest things could
have been much closer and the lads can look forward to their final
game of the league in Fermoy next Sunday against St.Annes where
they can be confident of achieving their first victory.

KILLEAGH G.A.A.
There was no winner of our lotto jackpot drawn on Monday 22nd
of February. Jackpot now stands at 8,600 euro. Numbers drawn
were 11, 22, 34. Remember if your not in you can't win. If there is
any one out there who would be interested in selling a few tickets
in your area contact any club member. Your help would be greatly
appreciated.
On Sunday evening our junior A footballers were out for their third
league game of the season in Killeagh. In the opening quarter of
the game there was little separating the sides but we gradually
stamped our authority on the game with some great individual
scores and the opening goal of the game scored by Joe Deane was
just enough to edge us in front at half time. Glenbower Rovers 1-
4 Ballinacurra 0-6. We emerged a different team in the second half
adding a total of 3-6 to our tally while Ballinacurra only managed
0-2 which was down to some great defending. Final score:
Glenbower Rovers 4-10 Ballinacurra 0-8.
Fixtures: Killeagh vs Cloyne, first senior hurling league game of
the year in Killeagh at 11:30am on March 14th. Should be a good
opening start to the season.
KILLEAGH-ITA'S JUVENILE GAA
U-15 A Football Championship Semi-Final: Killeagh-Ita's 2-11
Youghal 1-4
The conclusion of the shortest month brought us some cheer when
we overcame Youghal in their home territory of Copperalley on
Sunday last. Winning the toss, captain Shane McCarthy opted to
play with a strong breeze in the opening half, which proved to be
a wise decision. Matthew Murphy got us off the mark with our
opening point almost from the throw in, and Ian O Brien added two
to our tally before Youghal registered their opening point, which
was to be their only score of this half. We had to push on to max-
imise the advantage of the breeze, or else we would be facing an
uphill battle in the second half. Matthew Murphy, ár laoch na h-
imeartha, despite being closely marked by two Youghal players,
managed to kick over our next four points while Ian added two
more to leave the half time score, Killeagh-Ita's 0-9, Youghal 0-1.
Facing into the second half, our supporters wondered if we had
secured enough with the wind and if we could defend against the
Youghal forwards. Once back into action, we set about our task
valiantly, in aghaidh na gaoithe. Matthew converted our opening
free, but then we saw Youghal break through our defence and drive
home the opening goal of the game. They soon added a well taken
point to their tally from a free, before we saw a good build up from
the Killeagh-Itas boys culminate in Shane Smiddy rocking the
Youghal net for a great goal. The remainder of the half ebbed and
flowed, with few scores but plenty of commitment from both sides.
Youghal added two more points while Eoghan Keniry cancelled
out one raised a white flag for the boys in green. It was Matthew
who rounded off the day's proceedings with a well taken and well
deserved second goal for us, ensuring our place in this year's East
Cork Final. Ag deireadh an lae, bhíomar ró-láidir d'ár
gcomharsana. When the final whistle was blown, the little black
book read Killeagh-Ita's 2-11, Youghal 1-4. We now face the
Midleton boys in the East Cork Final on Sunday next, March 7th,
with the venue to be decided. Go n-éirí libh, a bhuachaillí.
While on the subject of wishing good fortune, let's hope that our
U-10 boys will do as well when they visit Youghal on Saturday
next (6th) at 3.00 p.m. to play Youghal in the first league match in
the Decky Guckian Hurling League. Training has been going well,
and remember, boys, whether you win or lose, if you do your best,
you always win! We also have our U-14 footballers commencing
their campaign on Saturday next at home to Kiltha Óg, good luck
to you boys also!
Finally, we have two positive messages to convey as we turn the
corner into one of the busiest GAA months of the year, when every
blade of grass on every pitch is required by every single team.
Firstly, our Coaching Course, under the guidance of Mr. Tom
Pierce, proved highly successful last weekend, with a great turnout
of potential Brian Cody's and Mickey Harte's, young and more
mature! Secondly, our irrepressible chairman Ray is recovering
dangerously quickly from his first encounter with the surgical ward
in half a century, and will be patrolling sidelines, meeting rooms
and all other GAA venues before you can shout "Mountmellick"!
The only thing puzzling everyone in Killeagh is how they managed
to keep you quiet during the surgery, Ray! You can't keep a good
man down, and you certainly can't keep a great one down!
Youghal Lawn Tennis Club

The Spring Mixed Doubles competition is off to great start. All

Death of Sr. Kevin Walsh, Dublin and late of Gatha Cross
Grange
It was with deepest sympathy we learned of the death of Sr. Kevin
Walsh, Dublin and late of Gatha Cross Grange which took place dur-
ing the past week. In her 99th year Sr. Kevin devoted the majority of
her life as a nun in the order of the Daughters of Charity. Sr. Kevin
died peacefully at her residence in Mount Prospect Clontarf and she

Clashmore - Kinsalebeg Juvenile GAA
AGM Our AGM was held recently in Clashmore Heritage center.
Attendance could have been better, but those there are truly dedicat-
ed members without whom the club could not function. The first
report given was by Mary O Halloran, Secretary, on the grading for
the coming year and these were discussed at length
A very comprehensive financial statement for the year was present-
ed by Gemma O Connor Treasurer and gave great information on
what it costs to run the club. Tim Bourke Chairman gave a summa-
ry of the past year
Looking back it was easy to see that we had competed very well at
all levels by the number of County Finals we contested While we
failed to bring home any silver ware it was down to lady luck rather
than a lack of ability on most days.
It was good to see our older juvenile players taking their part in the
minor historic win for the club and their medals will be highly treas-
ured keepsakes in the years to come. This minor side came up
through the ranks of the Juvenile Club and shows what work has
 West Waterford News
been done through the years.
Tim finished by thanking all that helped the club in any way to our
sponsors Brendan and Jane O Sullivan for the sponsorship of new
jerseys. Great to see our teams tog out in the best of gear.
To the Decies Bar for their sponsorship thanks to Aine and her staff,
To the Adult GAA Club for their continued donation of funds to the
Juveniles Many thanks to all who helped in the running of the Easter
raffle and those who work each week in collecting the money for the
Lotto Draw. Also, to all those people who are giving their help in the
work on the clubhouse. The PRO could not work without the help of
Kay Ledingham who is always to check that notes are on time to the
papers and in good order. Tim thanked parents who continually help
in any way but especially for transport to matches. This is a great
saving as well as being a good way of supporting the individual
teams so lets hope it will continue. Finally Tim thanked all the men-
tors for their time and effort during the year. There would be no club
without these hardworking men and women.
The meeting went on to elect the new committee for the coming year.
Club officers were elected as follows:
Chairman Tim Bourke, Secretary Mary O’ Halloran, Treasurer
Gemma O’ Connor, PRO Margaret Keever, Membership Officer
Maurice O’ Donovan.
Adult Board - Eamonn Beresford There were a few items brought
to our notice for the coming year
The VHI Cul Camp is going ahead for the 3rd Week of July and
Eileen Kennefick is our co- ordinate for this.
There are coaching and referee courses available and anyone inter-
ested in taking part should contact anyone in the club.
Membership is again due for the coming year and should be given to
Maurice O Donovan Maurice did a very good job of collecting this
for last year and wishes to thank Fiona Lombard for her help with
same. It is very important to pay membership fee as a player is not
insured if not a paid up member.
The meeting concluded with the wish that 2010 will be a good one

 NAGLE HOUSE YOUTH
CLUB UP AND RUNNING
By Christy Parker
The exemplary work being conducted through Foroige at Nagle
House continues with a new youth club now being added to the
many projects and programmes being conducted at the venue.
Nagle House Youth Club caters for 12-15 year-olds and is being
co-ordinated principally by Foroige Youth leader Emer Power,
assisted by fellow-leader and Community Garda, Peter Queally.
Both leaders have attained Module 5 -the highest on Foroige's
youth leadership training programmes.
The club meets ever Wednesday night and held its inaugural meet-
ing three weeks ago. The young members are currently in the
process of electing its officers from their ranks. "They nominated
and seconded their candidates and will be electing them by secret
ballot next week," says Emer. "So three weeks in, they'll have
learned one of the basics of democracy!"
Rules: That they have embraced that admirable concept well is fur-
ther evident from the mix of 'negotiable and non-negotiable' rules
and sanctions they have installed thus far. Much thought and
debate went into the process and the resultant examples include
alcohol/drug use or smoking -or evidence of having done so in the
building- resulting in suspension from a subsequent meeting.
Mobile phone interruptions during a meeting will also bring sanc-
tion. Failure to wash one's own utensils in the Hot Spot café will
result in on washing everyone else's ware subsequently.
Adherence to such regulations may be essential if, as expected,
membership demand exceeds availability. "We've had about 20
attending so far and I'd say the maximum we can cater for will be
about 30," says Peter. "And at that we may need some parents to
assist. But basically, there won't be much room for molly-coddling
if someone misbehaves too much, with others wanting to replace
them."
Emer's energy; Who can tell what terrible sins Emer Power com-
mitted in a previous life, for the girl's role in this one would seem
to entail perpetual immersion in the affairs of those high-velocity,
wise-cracking, optimistic, ambitious, argumentative, indefatigable,
fearless creatures known 'the youth!' Everyone loves them but it's
an exhausting kind of love after the first 20 minutes!
A native of Youghal, Emer is a national schoolteacher in Killeagh
and previously ran the 'Youghal Youth Club, which ended about
twelve months after ago two successful years. It catered for a
slightly older age group and ended primarily due, eventually, to a
dearth of adult leaders.
New home; A major advantage of the new club is that, unlike its
predecessor it has a permanent, purposely-constructed base. "We
used to meet in Bru na Si and other places but Nagle House is now
very much developed towards youth facilities," says Emer. "It's a
safe, familiar meeting place and provides everyone with a comfort
zone." The club has began life relatively late in the year and may
or may not continue through the summer. In any case, its tenure
thereafter will run from September to June. The club's functions
evolve around a three-point structure: a) formal meeting; b) proj-
ects/plans for an event/outing; c) recreation.
Yeah right...principles.
Emer charges the venture with installing confidence, while chan-
nelling a sense of responsibility and social and community aware-
ness amongst its members, but in tandem with fun and fulfilment.
So while the rules and rigours of democracy contribute an educa-
tional aspect, the laughs and freedom that are synonymous with
youthful exuberance are no less paramount. The members do not
lack for aspiration. "They want to go camping," says Peter. "In
Oakwood preferably!" he adds, in reference to a renowned Welsh
theme park.
That may or may not transpire but Peter is insistent that the club
members realise that what might come from the Youghal commu-
nity goes back into it in some way too. "I want them to realise that
if, for example, we run a fundraising event, that it's the people who
are giving the money. So, in return turn we may run a graveyard or
members realise that what might come from the Youghal commu-
nity goes back into it in some way too. "I want them to realise that
if, for example, we run a fundraising event, that it's the people who
are giving the money. So, in return turn we may run a graveyard or
beach cleaning day or something like that. Those principles are
important." Meanwhile the general run of things will see much
opening of a book of about a thousand things to do in a youth club
that fills half Emer's bag. There are ideas for warm-up games and
games to serve creativity, concentration, imagination, co-operation,
chair and circle games, sports games and so on. Add in the various
other projects, plans, programmes, inter-club events, café times and
workshops and hey, its 16th birthday time before they know it! Oh
to be starting shaving again.....
Some Nagle House Youth Club guidelines: In tandem with the
club's recruiting scheme, the following guidelines are made known:
The club meets ever Wednesday from 8pm-9.30 pm.
Parents' responsibility: The leaders' responsibility begins when
the club starts and ends when it finishes. The members are the par-
ents responsibility outside these times. Please inform a leader if a
your child cannot attend. If a child is frequently absent or late, the
family will be contacted. If there are activities outside club time,
parents will be given a letter and a parent permission form to com-
plete. If a signed parent permission form is not received for a
scheduled activity/outing, the child cannot attend.
Foroige have a number of policies on: Recruitment of volunteers;
child protection guidelines, tobacco, alcohol and drugs; insurance
(public/product liability cover); inter club events; organisation con-
stitution.
Club fees: €15per member annually or €25 per family.
Voluntary club leaders: Emer Power, Peter Queally, Barry
Storran, Jason Goggin and Eoin Hodnett.

Youghal Cycling Club
The Weekly Spin
Sunday morning arrived as always and we were greeted with a
clear blue sky and a fresh breeze for our weekly spin. A group of 8
riders gathered as always at Moby Dicks at 9.00am. The planned
route for the morning was a climbing spin to Tallow, Lismore,
Cappoquin, Villerstown, Aglish, Clashmore and Home. We
climbed on up the Tallow road in a group of silence, silence except
for all the heavy breathing that is, dodged all the potholes from the
top of the climb to Tallow and watched the Secretary salute all his
comrades as we passed through Tallow ( i.e. The Tallowban ). From
there we climbed out of Tallow and rolled onto Lismore at a brisk
pace. We flew through Lismore and onto Cappoquin. However, it
wasn't long before nature called for the old reliable outside
Cappoquin. In Cappoquin we warmly refuelled and sampled some
energy bars as used by the pro's. All agreed that we didn't have to
eat what the pro's had to eat. The main group took off again towards
Dromina Drive, while some headed for Dungarvan. We warmed up
again on the way to Villerstown, onto Aglish and headed to
Clashmore before the call of nature struck again for the usual sus-
pect. When we eventually got going, the pro energy bar kicked in
and we flew through Clashmore and Piltown before arriving back
in Youghal for around 12.00pm with another 70km in the legs.
However the spin is never complete for some without the usual tear
up the Youghal Bypass. A great spin was had by all.
The 10 O' Clock group consisting of 4 riders also gathered on the
good morning and travelled out the main road to Killeagh before
turning down the bog road for Ballymacoda and Knockadoon.
They refuelled in Ballymacoda on the way back before making
their way to Ladysbridge and Castlemartyr. From their, they trav-
elled back the main road through Killeagh and opened it up for the
run into Youghal where they arrived at 1.00pm with 40km complet-
ed. Another great spin for those who participated.
Best of luck to Club Man and Club Sponsor John Welsh who is get-
ting married next week. Lay off the cocktails while on Honeymoon
now John, Better still, why don't you bring the bike, if it's not sold,
for a few spins.

Minor "A" Hurling Inter Divisional Imokilly - Sean Dún Final
Youghal 0-19 St. Vincents 2-11.
Youghal travelled to St. Vincents for this league final on Sunday
14th February. The team put in a brilliant performance on the day
and came away with a two point victory. The lads battled all
through the game and trailed by two points at half time 1-7 / 0-8
having played against the wind. The hurling from both sides was
crisp and tough with no quarte been asked or giving.
Youghal were fast out of the blocks in the second half and were
level with points from James O'Mahony who was in great form.
The game was very nip and tuck and when Vincents got their sec-
ond goal with ten minutes remaining the Youghal lads left us a
point up with time running out. Ryan Tobin added the final score
and some great defending saw us run out two point winners. A
great start to the New Year for the club with the first piece of silver
ware. Final score Eochaill 0-19 - St. Vincent's 2-11.

should be directed to Margaret Scully, Ann O'Neill or Olivia
O'Rourke. To date a number of alarms have been installed and a
number of eligible people throughout our parish have benefited
from this scheme.
TIDY TOWNS: This committee has to be commended for their
trojan work on keeping our village decorated with flowers and
plants. They were praised for their hard work on keeping our vil-
lage tidy given its location on the main road from Cork to
Rosslare. Fintan McCarthy was also mentioned for his tireless
work in cleaning up our local area. This committee make our vil-
lage a more pleasant place for us all.
PRIDE IN OUR COMMUNITY: An award was made to the
Community Council by Muintir na Tire for their work under the
above scheme. The project undertaken was a clean up of the Old
Graveyard. A public appeal for help was made and there was a
great response to same. Sadly the weather in the summer of 2009
did not do much to help the project but it is hoped to start again
early in 2010. The work of all volunteers who gave of their time
must be acknowledged. Volunteers will again be sought and any
help will be greatly appreciated.
HISTORICAL: Ann O'Neill gave a report from this sub-commit-
tee and stated that the Catholic Church in Killeagh will be 150
years old next year and that the Historical Society were hoping to
help mark this event. This committee continue their work
researching and gathering information on all items of historical
interest in our parish.
Youghal News.....March 4th 2010
DEFIBRILLATORS were also discussed and it was agreed that
this matter will have to be finalised at the March meeting. It is
hoped to purchase defibrillators and initiate training courses at the
first possible opportunity.
ROAD CONDITIONS: The meeting then continued with a gen-
eral discussion on the atrocious road conditions that prevailed fol-
lowing the treacherous spell of bad weather over Christmas. All
matters addressed will be forwarded to the Area Engineer for his
attention.
ILLEGAL DUMPING was another matter discussed which is
particularly appalling on the slip road running from the Tallow
Road to Ballydaniel and Park School. This is a disgraceful prac-
tice and the Community Council are endeavouring to report and
get to the root of this problem.
www.killeagh-inch.org also continues to operate very successful-
ly. A new local business directory has been set up advertising
local businesses at a cost of €20.00 per advert. There is a wealth
of local information on this site. Why not check it out!
A vote of sympathy was passed to community council member
Margaret Lucey and the Lucey family on the death of her father-
in-law Johnny Lucey.
Our chairman John and his wife Yulia were congratulated on the
birth of their new baby daughter. The next meeting will be held
in Inch on 4th March at 8 p.m. All members please try to attend.
In his chairmans address John expressed disappointment that all
members do not attend our meetings regularly so for 2010 let your
resolution be to attend as often as possible.

IRELANDS FIRST EVER 5- A- SIDE

GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS ATTEMPT
YOUGHAL UNITED AFC WILL THIS JUNE ATTEMPT TO
DO SOMETHING NO OTHER IRISH FOOTBALL CLUB HAS
EVER DONE. BREAK THE GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS 5-
A-SIDE RECORD WHICH CURRENTLY STANDS AT 27
HOURS AND 15 MINS
Youghal's June Bank Holiday weekend will be filled with the
sounds of soccer at Youghal United's home ground 'Ardrath Park'
where sixteen brave souls will attempt to break the current
Guinness World Record for a 5-A-Side soccer match.
Youghal United Schoolboys/girls and Academies will benefit from
funds raised during this gruelling challenge. The current record
stands at 27 hours and 15 minutes and is held by two teams from
Surrey County Council in England.
The day to day running costs such of a soccer club as everyone
knows is significant with cost such as transport, equipment, main-
tenance amongst many other costs during the season.
So with great passion the powers that be at Youghal United AFC
will use this mammoth challenge as an opportunity to seek spon-
sorship and raise as much funds as possible during this unique
record breaking attempt.
This particular challenge is known throughout the World and prior
to Youghal United's attempt, Liverpool and England International
soccer star Jamie Carragher is also attempting to break the current
record, which could even set a tougher task for the Youghal men.
Youghal United Promotion Committee member Jock Gallogly said
"To promote this key event we will have a fun filled family day to
run in conjunction with the challenge. We believe that this chal-
lenge will carry very strong media interest, after all it is the first
time an Irish club has ever attempted to break this record. We are
seeking sponsorship from local and national organisations to help
us fund this challenge, all support would be really appreciated.
This opportunity will offer a great platform for advertising and
branding for those sponsors".

great cause. Please contact Kevin Gallogly 087 2750855 / Emmett

On the day do bring along your antiques to be valued by our local
antique dealer Niki Loughnane. Perhaps you have a hidden treas-
ure sitting in your house.
This annual fundraiser has proven to be an enjoyable event for all
age groups, while raising much needed funds to send the sick and
invalids from the locality, on a pilgrimage to Lourdes, something
they treasure for the peace and wellness it affords them.

THANKSGIVING
MIRACLE PRAYER
Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours,
this time I ask for a special one,
(mention here)
Take it Dear Heart of Jesus
and place it within your own Broken Heart,
where your father sees it.
Then, in his merciful eyes it will become your favour,
not mine. Amen
Say this prayer for 3 days, promise publication and prayer and
favour will be granted no matter how impossible.
Never known to fail.
Our Lady of Lourdes & Sacred Heart
Request Granted M.W.
A PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN
(Never known to fail)
O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine, splen-
dour of Heaven, blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate
Virgin assist me in my necessity. O Star of the Sea help me and
show me herein you are my mother. O Holy Mary Mother of God,
queen of heaven and earth.
I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succour me
in this necessity; there are none that can withstand your power. O
show me herein you are my mother. O Mary conceived without
sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (3 times). Holy Mother
I place this cause into your hands (3 times). Holy Spirit you who
solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal, you
who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against
me and that in all instances of my life you are with me. I want in
this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once
again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory.
Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine.
The person must say this prayer on three consecutive days. After
three days the request will be granted. This prayer must be pub-
lished after the favour is granted. T.K.
POWERFUL NOVENA TO SAINT JUDE
O, Holy Jude Apostle and Martyr, great in virtue and
rich in miracles, to you I have recourse from the depth
of my heart, and humbly beg to whom God has given
such great power, help me now in my present and
urgent petition.
(Mention Here)
In return I promise to make your name known and
cause you to be envoked.
Saint Jude pray for us and all who envoke your aid.
Saint Jude aid me in my distress.
Three Hail Mary’s
Three Our Fathers
Three Glories
Promise Publication.
Numerous requests granted.
