Youghal Pharmacy was asked to enter the Sona St Patrick’s Day Window Display competition for 2013. And so, Margaret Jones went to work on our very large window, which is in prime position at the start of the one-way traffic system here in Youghal and across the road from the main bus stop. Margaret worked her usual magic with the Sona display material and her own unique flair, and the result was stunning!

Youghal man John McGrath who lived in the Clock Gate from 1939 to 1959 speaks about his memories of those day and other stories. The tower built in 1777 was part of the towns fortifications. It served the town as a gaol and a public gallows until 1837. It then became a family home until 1959 when the last family left, which was the McGrath family.
Having grown up in the Clock Gate, John left for Britain during the 1950’s as did many of his contemporaries. There he observed the post-war housing improvements in Britain, thus, on his return he urged his parents to seek more comfortable and conventional accommodation. They reluctantly left the clock gate in 1959. The McGrath home offers a glimpse into the social, political, and economic changes experienced during the twentieth century.
The Clock Gate is undergoing extensive renovations and near completion of this phase of the refurbishment & development works.

Local actress Ruth Hayes stars in Mark Cogan’s new Irish short film “Partly Cloudy”. Ruth has appeared in several films during her career and also stars in local productions in town.

Click on the the trailer below.
Mark Cogan’s Partly Cloudy from Medicine Hat Films returns us to the world of Fiona, Doc and Damien, who were last seen in the award winning short film Heart.
Fiona is bridesmaid to her demanding sister Gillian as well as coping with her overbearing mother Dolores and easily distracted father Jim. The bonds of family are tried and tested as tempers flare and underlying tensions threaten to ruin Gillian’s big day. Once again Fiona turns to her two closest friends, Doc and Damien to whom she often feels closer than her own family. The film is a bittersweet comedy/drama.
