The complexities around getting social and affordable houses built in the New Ross district saw the temper of cathaoirleach, Cllr Anthony Connick, flare at the January New Ross Municipal District meeting.
One of the New Ross area’s biggest attraction’s – Secret Valley Wildlife Park & Zoo – is facing a huge cost hike of over €55,000 due to the increase in VAT and the minimum wage rate, coupled with an increased insurance fee of €5,000 for attracting more visitors last year.
The daughter of a New Ross resident, missing since having been released from a Waterford hospital over a month ago, has said: “It’s weird, like he’s actually disappeared’ after extensive CCTV and physical search trawls have not been able to identify his whereabouts.
Cllr Bridín Murphy has highlighted the importance of support for our older population in Co Wexford following the recent cold spell, which saw temperatures fall to -4 in the area.
