Plans have been drawn up to create a glass-fronted viewing platform at Youghal's 18th-century lighthouse, which will provide the town with yet another tourist attraction.

Details of the project were provided to local councillors at a meeting of the East Cork Municipal District Council by consultant architect Joseph Mackey.
