Cork town of Youghal is a top stop for American retirees - affordable housing and picturesque surrounding make it the new Florida

Have you ever really been to Youghal??? It is a small town with no bewaches and would be a terrible place to retire to. Where did you get your information for this article? The internet?I found your photo on wikipedia. Next time at least do a Google maps on your towns you write about. There is nothing there. No beaches, no ocean front homes. Retire there are you crazy. lakefron

Spent a wonderful weekend in beautiful Youghal a few years back. I would definitely try and include it on a visit.

The one and only time I visited Youghal was in the fall of 1997 - accompanied by my wife, a Methodist who was raised in New England. We were pleasantly surprised to find a Methodist church there, in which Sunday services were held by a minister from Cork City. If more retired Yanks were to settle in Youghal, that Methodish church would have new congregants.
