Families gathered on Ballymoney Beach recently to seek out the many natural treasures of the Wexford coastline at an event organised as part of National Biodiversity Week.
Verona Murphy was the big spender in the 2019 by-election, her former party Fine Gael shelling out over €18,000 on her campaign, with an additional spend of over €12,000 by the Ramsgrange woman s team.
Fianna Fáil candidate Malcolm Byrne topped the poll in the Wexford by-election in the late November election, securing 12,506 first preference votes and it was a case of the two big parties battling it out in the spending stakes, as his campaign s bill came to close to €27,000.
Murphy, who left Fine Gael to go on and win a seat in February s general election as an Independent, secured 9,543 first preferences with Labour s George Lawlor behind her on 8,024 votes.
