New lease of life for St Mary’s

ONE of Youghal’s most historic landmarks, the 19th century St Mary’s College in Emmett Place, is to be transformed into an ultra-modern enterprise centre.

A planning application has been lodged by Youghal Town Council, owners of the college, and given that the council will be adjudicating on its own application, no problems are envisaged.

However, town clerk Liam Ryan said the application will be treated and dealt with in the same way as all others are, with members of the general public, groups and organisations all entitled to make submissions and objections should they see fit to do so.
