Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD has visited New Ross last week to turn the sod on the €1 million Emigrant Park project.
Cllr Anthony Connick followed in his brother Seán’s footsteps when he wore the New Ross council chair’s chains on Wednesday, making history in the process as the first political brothers to hold the top position in the local government role.
The outgoing chairman of New Ross Municipal District council has said the €50m plus in projects being realised for the town and area could only be successful through team work.
