Youghal expects €1.4m boost as clock tower reopens
Craftsmen from 17 specialist companies are fitting out all four floors of Youghal’s Clock Gate tower. “We’re looking at specialist joinery, electrics, graphics, costumes, models, audio-visual aids, film production, etc”, says Aileen Murray, manager of the Youghal Socio-Economic Development Group (YSEDG), which is spearheading the €650,000 project.
Each floor will depict a historic period, covering the 1400s, 1700s, 1800s and 1900s, up to the building’s use as the private residence of the McGrath family in the 1950s. The project is being designed by Scroope Design, Courtmacsherry.
