58 Mr. Seaton F. Milligan on Youghal and the Blackwater. 



within a wall of the castle. The crozier was made for a bishop 

 who died in the year 11 13. 



The only buildings of interest in Lismore were the cathedral 

 and the castle. The cathedral was almost a ruin when Richard 

 Boyle, Earl of Cork, in the year 1633 commenced to restore it. 

 The castle was the most interesting feature in Lismore. Some 

 portions of it were old, but the greater part of it was modern. 

 The site on which it stood was said to have been the monastery 

 of St. Mochuda, and the view from the bay window was one of 

 the finest imaginable. 



Having commented on the great beauty of the scenery along 

 the Blackwater, and made some valuable suggestions to intending 

 excursionists to the district, Mr. Milligan concluded by saying the 

 visit of the Society to Youghal was most enjoyable, and they all 

 left feeling the invigorating effect of the fine sea breezes from the 

 Atlantic. 



On the motion of Mr. W. H. Patterson, seconded by Mr. Wm. 

 Gray, the best thanks of the meeting were conveyed to Mr. 

 Milligan for his most entertaining and instructive lecture.
