the play by Charles


K. Freeman following the Warner Bros. Mu- sical Western by James O’Hanlon in 1953 star- ring

and her association with Wild Bill Hickok. The show takes place each

have good reason to be doubly pleased with them- selves. Firstly, on April 21 they celebrated a highly successful 10 years in busi- ness. Over the 10 years they have expanded from a team of three (Proprietor, Alwyn Rea and two staff members Christina Kelly and Shirley Murphy) to ten, with two in-house makeup artists to give


their customers the


full va-va voom experience. Secondly, they assured their future in the business in true style on the same weekend by sailing through to the fi- nals of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Awards and, on Sunday, April 22, the entire team will head to Dublin to compete in the semi-finals at the RDS. Months of


training, ex-


ams and hard work since becoming L’Oréal Colour Specialist Salon in 2014 got them through a head to head heat with salons from all over the Republic, to reach the semi-finals at the


weekend. The semi-final competition involved cre- ating “a truly inspirational, contemporary colour, com- plemented by trend-driven styling and finish”. Salon proprietor, Alwyn Rea said “we enjoyed every minute of all the long hours, and it was well worth it given the result which we achieved on our model Suzy’s hair”. The judging panel was made up of


British Hairdresser


of the Year, Sally Brooks, multi award winning Coif- feur Charlotte


celebrity hairdressers Jamie Stevens and Adam Reed, as well as hairdressing icons Charles Worthington and Errol Douglas MBE. The very best in the business selected Oxygen Hair De- sign’s efforts as completely fitting the high standards of “exceptionally executed and perfectly precise work” for which they were looking. The Grand Finals take


place back in the RDS on July 2. The team will be hard at work to completely change the entire look of their model’s colour, cloth- ing and style. We wish the very best of

Public Debate on Youghal Railway / Greenway


by CLAIRE O’DONOGHUE


Continued from front page The Green Party rec-


ognise the significant boost to tourism and the local economy which the Waterford Greenway has delivered to that region. We want the same for East Cork, and particu- larly for Youghal, which has not recovered to the same degree as has Midle- ton. We also recognise the needs of a growing pop- ulation, and the fact that traffic congestion is a ma- jor quality of life issue for thousands of commuters taking the N25 every day. This congestion is only going to worsen if we don’t

caught in this gridlock. We believe


the Green-


way should happen, but not at the expense of the railway. We need both ini- tiatives for the region and it is only a lack of polit- ical imagination and am- bition that is preventing this from coming about. Ireland is also bound by EU carbon emission re- duction targets, and we are set to be fined sever- al hundred million Euro by 2020 for not meeting these. The fines will accu- mulate by many millions year on year thereafter. The recent National De- velopment Plan for 2040 set out progressive public transport


initiatives for radically improve


our public transport sys- tem. Ambulances com- ing from Co. Waterford to CUH are also getting


Dublin. Proposals for the rest of the country were primitive


by compari-


son”. Speakers on the night include, amongst


oth- eastcorkjournal


ers, Eamon Ryan Lead- er of the Green Party, Dan Boyle, former Cork Greens TD and Senator, Sinn Féin’s Pat Buckley. Whatever the


pub-


lic opinion or outcome, Youghal needs and de- serves a boost. The rail- way line bringing people from the city and else- where down to the beau- tiful beach and town is now, it seems, the stuff of nostalgia. Could those days be brought back, or has the time passed for that? Would a Greenway be a better option when its positive


effects on


Dungarvan are so clear to see? Is there any way to accommodate both ideas? Whichever way you lean, there is now a chance to voice your opinion at the debate on Monday 14 May at 7pm in the Walter Raleigh.
