Youghal gets €280k for ruined boardwalk

Youghal Town Council is to get €280,000 to restore the storm-damaged boardwalk.

The funding is the highest allocation in a €468,000 government package across eight projects in the Midleton electoral area. The fund also awards €100,000 for sea-wall repairs at Midleton.

The money follows applications by Youghal and Midleton local authorities for emergency relief following damage inflicted by the first of last January’s two major storms. Additional relief following the second storm is pending.
