The east Cork town of Youghal is aiming to install a famous schooner with historic links to the town as a permanent tourist attraction.

The Youghal Business Alliance group has established a cross-community committee, including business, heritage, and nautical interests, tasked with purchasing the Kathleen and May and bringing it ‘home’ from England.
