Youngsters
One wonders, with all the youngsters who have left the town in the last couple of years, what the figures would say now.
I remember reading, a while back, that the population of Moville in 1896 was between 1,100 and 1,200 but I can’t remember the exact number.
Incidentally, there were 26 pubs in the town then compared to 8 now.
