pattern was consistent across the five municipalities and closely in line with the analysis included in the previous National Statistical Report of 90% ‘hanging around outside’ [National Children’s Office Study, 2005). Table 36: Activities of young people in Irish municipalities 86 Source: McGrath and Lynch (2007: 21) Further scrutiny of the above table, which reveals the pattern of young people’s activities in East Cork, shows a sharp contrast with the trends revealed in the National Statistical Report. Only 1.3% of young people in East Cork were engaged in hobbies compared with 65.2% nationally. Equally remarkable was the low level of participation in sports (7%) compared with 88% nationally. While only 6% reported that they drank alcohol, the qualitative data in the McGrath and Lynch study (2007: 22-23) indicates that alcohol and to a lesser extent drugs are endemic in youth culture in East Cork. McGrath and Lynch (2007: 17) recorded that 79.1% of the young people in their survey answered ‘no’, when asked if they thought there were adequate faculties in their town for young people. Only 5.5% said ‘yes’, that there were adequate facilities. A further 9.1% gave a qualified response (see Table 37).
Table 37: Adequacy of Facilities for Young People in Irish municipalities Source: McGrath and Lynch (2007: 17) There is evidence of youth work services in East Cork. Some of these initiatives have been established only recently. This may partly explain the discrepancy between young people’s perception of the complete absence of youth work facilities and the actual reality. There is at least one youth project in each of the five municipalities. (i) The Youghal Youth Project The Youghal Youth Project was established in 2005 under the management of Foróige (Youth Development). Its funding comes from the Dormant (Bank) Accounts programme, which involves the public utilisation of monies in banks that are no longer actively utilised. The project is developmental in orientation and aimed at young people ‘at risk’, notably school leavers. Associated with this project is the Youghal Youth Committee, which aims to develop services for young people in the town. (ii) Carrigtwohill Area Youth Project The Carrigtwohill Area Youth Project was established in 2005. It is managed by Foróige. The start-up funding was provided by a charity, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Consequently, the Carrigtwohill Area Youth Project is an entirely voluntary initiative, based on a partnership between two third sector organisations. In line with the Foróige’s development objectives, the aim of the project is to promote young people’s personal and social development. (iii) Cobh Youth Service The Cobh Youth Service is a voluntary organisation established in 1992. It is managed by a voluntary board of directors and employers two full-time staff. The rest of the staffing is provided by volunteers, including people on work experience with FÁS (the National Manpower Service) as part of its community employment scheme. The Cobh Youth Service operates a centre called the ‘Plateau’ which is open 5 days per week and offers a homework club, swimming, model-making, soccer, pool and issue-based development programmes, plus ‘drop-in’ nights where groups ‘can just come and chill’. 87
