With land at a premium and Wexford County Council seeking to address the worst housing crisis in decades, one local councillor has questioned the actions of those who receive planning permission and, in effect, sit on the land. At a meeting of Wexford County Council (WCC) in Carricklawn, Councillor George Lawlor noted that 1,075 planning permissions had been granted in the county last year but said there was no way of knowing when those houses would be built.
Members of Wexford County Council have been assured that work is continuing behind the scenes on the project to convert the historic Adoration Convent in Wexford town into student accommodation to serve the Georgia Southern University (GSU) Wexford campus in the old municipal buildings.
