A housing officer has been appointed to Enniscorthy, the members of the local authority were told at their monthly meeting last week.
Cllr Jackser Owens, who has raised concerns about the town having no housing officer a number of times in the past, asked if such an officer had been appointed.
In response, Administrative Officer with the local authority, Martina Donoghue, said: I understand a Housing Officer has been appointed and will be with you on January 4.
The members were then told that Ronan Griffin will be the new officer.
That news was very much welcomed by the members, with Cllr Owens commenting: I am delighted to hear that.
Residents in the Moran Park and Sean Browne Court area of Enniscorthy have said they feel let down by a member of Enniscorthy Municipal District Council in connection with the erection of a monopole telecommunications mast in a local soccer pitch.
Last week, this newspaper highlighted some of the concerns of the residents regarding the pole, which is located on the grounds of Enniscorthy United AFC. However, in the interim residents spoke again to this newspaper to highlight their displeasure at Cllr Jackser Owens and his interaction with them on the matter.
They said that the overall feeling of a lot of residents in the area is that Cllr Owens abandoned them and turned his back on them over the matter.
Residents in Sean Browne Court and Moran Park areas of Enniscorthy have expressed concern over the erection of a telecommunications mast on the grounds of Enniscorthy United AFC.
Speaking to this newspaper residents in the area said they are angry to see the mast going up despite the fact that many of them objected to it on the grounds of possible health and safety implications and also that it would detract from the aesthetic appeal of the view from their houses.
The initial plan to erect the mast was refused by Wexford County Council, however, An Bord Pleanala upheld an appeal and the mast was erected on the grounds of the club in recent weeks.
