  Youghal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Youghal (pronounced [jɔːl] or [ˈjɒhəl]; Irish Eochaill [ˈɔxəʎ]) is a seaport in County Cork, Republic of Ireland.
Youghal is located on the estuary of the River Blackwater, and in the past was militarily and economically important.
Youghal received its charter of incorporation in 1209, but the history of settlement on the site is much longer, with a Norse settlement being present in the 9th century, the Church of Coran in the town's western suburbs dating from the 5th century, and evidence of Neolithic habitation at nearby Newport.

Laces are still made by the old traditional methods throughout the world, but these days with a few exceptions, it is made as a hobby with one person making lace from go to whoa compared with as many as six or seven workers concentrating on different stages of the work.

Youghal’s heritage can be traced back to the Early Christian period to Molana Abbey or Dairinis as it was then called, the island monastery in the Blackwater estuary, where one of the monks, Ruben, was associated with the writing of Collectio Hibernensis, one of the earliest collections of Canon Law.
Youghal became one of the first Viking settlements, when in the 9th century, the Vikings sailed their longboats up the River Blackwater, where they settled on the west side of the river estuary after raiding both the Dairinis and Lismore monasteries.
