Youghal has met the criteria to be a fairtrade town. This included getting a motion passed by the town council to support Youghal becoming a fairtrade town. Quality Hotel became our Flagship business and local shops, restaurants, schools, library, Church’s and other businesses stocked fairtrade produce.
The committee would also like to congratulate Gaelscoil Chorain for becoming Youghal’s first fairtrade school.  Principal Sean O’ Murchu accepted the fairtrade

school certificate from Fairtrade Ireland.

The committee would like to thank the Mayor, Local councillors, Liam Ryan for all their support during the campaign. We also want to thank everybody that took part in the campaign that made Youghal fairtraded and to everybody who attended on the day.
