(Usually conditions attached to such philantropy do not allow a building to be "sold on" for other uses!) With a public car park close beside, set in the heart of Youghal's "Historic Quarter" and yet only yards from the main street, this seems like an excellent proposal. With local elections coming next year, perhaps now is the time to start lobbying those who will be looking to be elected/re-elected!

I like many of my Youghal counterparts were totally unaware of this and if it wasn't for people like you I'm afraid both Youghal and it's history would be lost Kay, thanks for the history.

It was the old Quaker Meeting House with panelled walls and the artifacts of the town on show in glass cases. It was not alone a haven for local readers but also attracted tourists. Some Bureaucrats decided to sell it to Youghal Carpets for a social club and now it lies empty and derelict. Since that time Youghal Library has been moving from place to place with no permanent home. Is it not about time that the Library was restored to the original status it held more than 30 years ago? One would almost think that some other Bureaucrat has a vendetta against Youghal library having its original permanent status restored. 30 years is a long time to be waiting for a wrong to be righted. I wonder what Carnegie would think if he were alive today? Youghal once had a beautiful Library donated to the town by the American Philantropist Carnegie.
