Youghal trio to spend 24 hours in coffins

Three members of a Co Cork Halloween festival committee will spend 24 hours confined in coffins as part of an unearthly fundraiser today.

Yvonne Lawton, Wayne Ruxton, and Nathalie Tewkesbury from Youghal are part of Youghal4All, a voluntary group that organises family-focused festivals and events in the East Cork tourist town.

They will be asking the public to dig deep in support of the town’s fourth annual Halloween Spooktacular, with the devil of all endurance tests starting tonight.
