Development group moves to improve town

A progressive community development organisation is to align with a new municipal body to boost the development of East Cork.

The Youghal Socio-Economic Development Group (YSEDG), set up in 2007, has been hugely successful in delivering local funding and infrastructure for tourism and heritage-based projects in the town.

But with the demise of the town council, the development group is to team up with a county council-run Municipal District Council.
