Women’s Aid says the Cobh Statue Gives Wrong Message
by SEAMUS WHELEHAN
A leading organisation combatting domestic
vio-
lence has criticised a plan to erect a statue of boxer, Jack Doyle, in his home town of Cobh. The group behind the
sculpture also intend it to become the focal point of a new festival celebrating the life and achievements of the Gorgeous Gael. Born on the 13 August 1913 into a working class family, Jack
Doyle was at one time a contender for the British Boxing Championship, a Hollywood actor and a Tenor. Estimated to cost
€50,000 the planned statue of the Gorgeous Gael has been the source of much controversy. While Doyle appeared to

Liam Keating Appointed as Youghal’s New Harbour Master
by CLAIRE O’DONOGHUE Wednesday 1 August
marked a historical and positive day for Youghal as Liam Keating, a native of Waterford with over 30 years’ experience on the sea, started as Harbour Master based in Youghal.
Keating started his ca-
reer in his family’s elec- trical business. However, a friend convinced him to go on tour with the Asgard II in 1981. “I had no ex- perience at sea and had to be talked into going on the tour,” he said. “Six years later I got off the Asgard! Keating had found his passion for the sea. Fol- lowing his six year tour,
he commenced worked in commercial
shipping
with firms such as Arklow Shipping. For the past 17 years he has worked with the Tall Ship Youth Trust, a charitable
