Santa was joined by Mrs Claus and his elves in Rosslare Harbour last week for the turning on of its Christmas lights in an event which was attended by young and old alike. For the fourth Christmas in a row the local community was treated to a display of festive lights courtesy of an initiative conceived and implemented by local resident Enda Murphy.
A much-anticipated emergency meeting of Wexford County Council (WCC) has proved anti-climactic after all three motions presented to the council were struck out due to legal reasons. The meeting had been called to discuss the ongoing development of a proposed International Protection Accommodation Services (IPAS) centre in Rosslare Harbour, a development which is currently the subject of a planning appeal by WCC.
A protest is taking place at Rosslare Europort today over plans by the Government to open a new centre to accommodate international protection applicants at the former Great Southern Hotel in Rosslare.
