Town should not give ‘one penny’ to tourism body

THE fragile relationship between Youghal Town Council and Cork/Kerry Tourism has resulted in the town not getting its fair share of business, according to elected representatives.

Indeed, its peripheral location has convinced locals it would fare better under the umbrella of SERTO (South East Regional Tourism Organisation).

At one stage, the Town Council pulled the financial plug on Cork/Kerry Tourism, and, as a result, lost its membership on the management board.
