Pontoon installation a boost for tourism

Marine tourism has been given a boost as a new pontoon is installed in Youghal harbour.

The estimated €350,000 structure was installed at Nealon’s Quay, close to the town centre, by LCF Marine of Bere Island.

The pontoon consists of hot-dipped galvanised steel, anchored by three tubular steel piles. It replaces a smaller facility in place in recent years.
