ANGER ONLINE AS PUBLIC TOILETS REMAIN CLOSED IN WEXFORD TOWN
A Facebook post is going viral today as calls have been made to make public toilets available in Wexford Town.
The post states that an elderly couple were in need of the bathroom yesterday but found the public bathroom near Redmond Square closed after depositing money into the machine.
The status highlights the lack of public toilets ready for use for the public as many cafes and restaurants are not allowing customers to use their facilities due to Covid concerns.
Replying to calls on Facebook, Mayor of Wexford Leonard Kelly says the issue has been raised many times and he believed the current provision is totally inadequate for the needs of the town.
Three years after first submitting plans for a hotel on a prominent disused site opposite Wexford Bridge, brothers Colm and Anthony Neville of CoAnt Developments have been given the green light to construct the landmark building.
Wexford County Council has granted planning permission with conditions for the hotel with penthouse apartments and an underground car park at Commercial Quay after recently asking the developers to scale back the project and submit a revised design.
After reviewing the altered plans, senior planners have approved the revised design of the hotel which will be part five, seven and eight storey, fronting onto Commercial Quay with retail units and restaurants at Charlotte Street, 10 residential units with balconies on the upper levels, 133 bedrooms on the second, third and fourth floors and 105 car parking spaces at basement and ground floor level.

For this reason the Council appeals to any person who seeks secure shelter to make themselves known to the Council at the earliest possible opportunity, so that we can make accommodation enquires on their behalf.
For WPHP founder Claire Malone it was a busy week of working around the clock to try and help those out in the elements. On Monday, I got a call from a guy who was out in the elements, she said. He was at the back of Pettitt s and he told me he had been drinking and was absolutely freezing. It was so cold, he was afraid to go asleep in it.
