Mooring & Pontoon Development in Youghal Harbour

7th March 2016
Pontoons and visitor swing moorings are to be installed in Youghal harbour. See full notice below Pontoons and visitor swing moorings are to be installed in Youghal harbour. See full notice below

Floating pontoons and visitors swing moorings at Nealon's Quay and Youghal have been proposed by Cork County Council. The plans of the long overdue development are available for inspection at County Hall in Cork over the next six weeks.

Installation includes 'steel piles, access gangway, visitor swing moorings and associated indfrastructure' according to the notice that is posted below.  

The notice follows a story on January 13th on Afloat.ie that pointed to pontoon development on the south coast town. A local pressure group, however, indicated that talk of a 'much needed' town marina was premature.
