87 million litres of
water escaping from
one leaking pipeShocking evidence of the
scale of water being lost
through leaks in the mains
pipeline has emerged with
the discovery that a break in
Wexford town which has
been a problem for several
years is losing up to 10,000
litres of water per hour.
That’s a staggering 87
million litres of water
wasted from a single leak
every year.
Meanwhile, a leak in
Gorey which remained
unattended for two weeks
recently resulted in a
quarter of the water being
supplied to the town leaking
away.
These shocking
revelations emerged just as
the first domestic water bills
started to arrive in homes
around the county.
The leak in Wexford town
was highlighted as a result
of low pressure in the water
system which hindered the
efforts of the fire brigade to
deal with house fire in the
area recently. The faulty
main is at Maudlintown.
Wexford Borough District
Mayor, George Lawlor,
highlighted the problem at a
meeting of the Wexford
Borough District Council.
His Labour party
colleague, Robbie Ireton,
was highly critical of the
length of time it took to deal
with a major fault in Gorey
which saw one quarter of
the water being supplied to
the town leaking away
every day for two weeks
Separately it has emerged
that a water leak in a gated
development in Courtown
has gone unfixed because
Irish water cannot reach
agreement with various
parties over who should pay
for the work.
New hopes for Wexford site
A waterfront site in Wexford
town which was once planned as
the location for a big retail and
residential development could
be turned into a major business
centre, it is understood.
The site, at Trinity Street once
housed the Wexford Electronix
factory and a cash and carry
wholesale company but it has
been vacant since ambitious
plans to develop it as a major
commercial centre were dashed
by the recession.
But new life could be
breathed into the site with the
Co. Council understood to have
an involvement in a proposal
which would see a major
business centre built at the
location. It is understood that
there are hopes that building
could eventually house the
headquarters of a major national
company.
Howlin announces cash for Athenaeum
Minister for Public
Expenditure and Reform,
Brendan Howlin ., has announced
funding of €250,000 for the
refurbishment of the Athenaeum
in Enniscorthy. The Minister said
he was delighted to announce
funding for the restoration of the
historical building, which dates
from the 1890s, It was the
headquarters for the Enniscorthy
Volunteers during the 1916 Easter
Rising and has a very rich history.
‘I look forward to seeing this
building restored for the locals of
Enniscorthy and for visitors to
the area. A wreath laying
ceremony will take place here in
2016, in recognition of the
importance of the events which
took place in Enniscorthy”, he
added.

Work is to get underway
almost immediately on one of
the poorest main roads in the
county with the planned
upgrading of the Castlebridge
to Wexford town route.
The road has been of a poor
standard for years but has
deteriorated even more since
work on a drainage scheme
saw pipes being laid the length
of the road two years ago.
The bumpy and uneven
surface on the road meant that
travelling on it was akin to
travelling by boat on a stormy
day, many had suggested.
It is one of
the busiest
roads in the
county
taking huge
volumes of
traffic into
Wexford
town across
Wexford
Bridge each
day.
The Mayor of Wexford
George Lawlor had
campaigned strongly to have
money provided to have work
carried out on the road.
Now engineers have
confirmed that work on the
upgrade will begin
immediately and will continue
for most of the summer.
Hospital blunders
left boy paralysedA twelve year old North
Wexford boy who was left
paralysed as a result of the
mismanagement of his
meningitis at Wexford
General Hospital eleven
years ago has been
awarded an interim
damages settlement by the
High Court.
Matthew McGrath from
Gorey received a payout
of €3.7m. The court heard
that the boy requires
twenty four hour care as a
result of the events which
took place at the hospital
in May 2004 when
Matthew was seventeen
months old.
Mr Justice Kevin Cross
was told that the HSE had
sent a letter offering
‘sincere apologies’ to
Matthew and his parents
Alan and Cathy McGrath.
The boy had been
suffering from
Haemophilus Influenza
Type B which can lead to
meningitis. The court
heard that there was a
delay in treating the
condition and in
particular with the
administration of
antibiotics and
fluids.
The scale of the
mismanagement of
the boy’s treatment
was outlined in
detail to the court
which was told that
the normal
consequences of
what happened
would be death.
To this day
Matthew remains
ventilation dependent and
a severe neurological
injury resulted in paralysis
of all four limbs.
‘He is now completely
paralysed but is a bright,
intelligent, cheerful boy
who goes to school and
follows rugby’ Desmond
O’Neill SC told the Judge.
The case will be
reviewed again in five
years.
Bad road will hamper
Johnstown’s potential
The huge amounts of state
cash being spent on
Johnstown Castle will be
wasted unless work is carried
out on the main road which
leads from Wexford to the
building and grounds.
The Coolballow Road
which links the Rosslare road
to Murrintown and runs past
the gates of the Castle has
been in a very poor state of
repair but it has not been
possible to get the cash to
carry out necessary works to
bring it up to standard..
Cllr. Jim Moore who has
been one of those to the
forefront in campaigning for
the upgrading of the road
said there was little point
trying to improve Johnstown
Castle as a tourist facility
and encourage more people
to visit it If the road was in
such poor state of repair that
it could not cater for more
traffic.
Part of the problem with
the road is the fact that is its
classified as a relatively
minor rural route and it will
need to get an upgraded
classification to put it in with
better chance of qualifying
for funding.

Wexford Municipal

‘Sweet Feet’ has the full
range of children’s shoes
Enniscorthy
Sports Hub
It’s new, it’s exciting
and it’s especially for
kids. Sweet Feet, as the
name suggests, is a shoe
shop. Owned by local girl
Lisa Pettit.
Situated on Wexford’s
North Main Street the new
store has been beautifully
decorated in wonderful
bright colours to make the
shopping experience as
enjoyable as possible with
trended funky brands for
the little ones.
Stocking all the top
brands including Geox,
Agatha Ruiz De La Prada
, Garvalin, Pediped,
Froddo Converse and
many more, the new
business has been opened
by local person Lisa Pettitt
who worked with Little
Piggies for more than
seven years.
Local Lisa always had
the ambition to open and
run her own business and
with the aid of market
research saw an opening
in Wexford for a
children’s shoe shop.
Lisa herself is
passionate about shoes
and she also has a vision
and determination to make
the new business a
success.
Shop Local in Sweet
Feet at Wexford’s North

Enniscorthy’s long
awaited Sports Hub’s
official opening is finally
set to take place. The Hub
will open on Saturday
May 16th. at 3pm.
The facility is designed
to cater for top class
athletics events and will
be marketed with a view
to attracting major
national events to the
town.
It is hoped that in time
these will provide a boost
for the tourist sector in the
area.
But the Sports Hub will
also be a major facility for
local group and
individuals.
A series of races and
events are being
organised around the
opening on May 16th.
Enniscorthy's Delightful Dollies Group celebrated their 3rd anniversary with a func-
tion in the IFA Centre on Friday night. Pictured at the event were Breda Donnelly,
Debbie Hendrick and Margaret O Brien.

News
Gorey Fianna Fail
councillor Pip Breen is an
optimistic man. He had
concerns about new
protocols which are to
govern the holding of
Civic Receptions in Gorey
because they did not
provide for increased
spending above the budget
allocation for any specific
function.
Pip was concerned that
there might be occasions
when extra cash would be
required to host larger
scale receptions.
The Co. Council’s Head
of Finance Annette
O’Neill was confident that
money could be found in
exceptional circumstances
but other members of the
Gorey Municipal District
Council wondered what
Pip might have in mind.
Well, if we won the All
Ireland we’d need a big
reception, he ventured.
Pip didn’t indicate
whether or not he felt
money for an All Ireland
winning reception should
be provided in this year’s
budget but he should not
have sleepless nights
over the prospect of the
Liam McCarthy Cup
arriving in Gorey next
September and the
Council having no
money to host a
reception.
The Town Manager
Amanda Byrne assured
Pip that the resourses for
such a reception would
be found, even if they
had to bake the cakes at
home and bring them in.
No meals for rural schoolchildrenIf you are a hungry child
then you better get place in an
urban school because only
town based primary schools
benefit from state supported
school meals.
If you attend a rural school
then you lose out, it has
emerged. The fact that children
could go hungry in rural
schools has outraged Labour
councillor, Robbie Ireton.
He proposed that in North
Wexford the Council should
extend school meals support to
rural schools because he said it
was morally wrong to have
children going to school
hungry.
But Robbie’s feed the
children plan ran into a major
obstacle--------going all the
way back to the 1930s. That’s
when the scheme was
introduced and under it only
those schools within the
specified urban areas can be
provided with meals.
Councillors were minded to
extend the scheme but were
forced to rethink when Finance
Director Annetta O’Neill
revealed that the scheme was
co-funded by the Department
and any move outside the
guidelines would mean the
loss of those funds.
But they have asked the
Department to reconsider the
guidelines in an effort to
ensure that hungry children in
rural schools get the benefit of
the scheme.
North Wexford to demand
largest slice of housing cashNorth Wexford is to demand
the largest slice of a massive
government housing cash
boost which is on it’s way to
Wexford Co. Council.
The housing problem is
most acute in the north of the
county where eight hundred
people are on the waiting list.
People waiting to be housed by
the local authority in North
Wexford face greater
difficulties than those in other
parts of the county because
rents are much higher in the
Gorey area and rent
supplements paid by the
Department of Social
Protection fall well short of the
going rate leaving people
struggling to get any type of
suitable accommodation.
Now councillors in Gorey
are insisting that the area
should be given priority based
on the chronic need in the area.
The housing cash being
provided to the Council will be
used in a variety of ways
including for the construction
of new homes as well as for
the purchase of existing
houses.
Councillor Fionntan
O’Suilleabhain said that he
knew of a case where a house
in Riverchapel was being sold
by a bank for €60,000. If these
type of houses could be picked
up by the local authority they
would be able to provide many
more units than through
construction. But he insisted
he was not suggesting that the
Council purchase houses from
banks over people’s heads, but
where they were vacant they
could be bought for less than
they would cost to build.
Gorey’s 1916
bid shot down
Wexford trekkers caught
up in Nepal horror
Efforts to have two Gorey
representatives on the 1916
Centenary organising
committee have been shot
down.
The Gorey Municipal
Council had nominated both
Pip Breen and Fionntan
O’Suilleabhain to sit on the
committee, but had been
asked for only a single
nominee.
North Wexford councillors
did not anticipate a problem
but the central committee
ruled that only a one member
could represent North
Wexford with the Sinn Fein
councillor losing out.
Hanging from the
hanging baskets in Gorey
Late night revellers in
Gorey are amusing
themselves after a night out
by swinging from some of
the town’s hanging baskets.
The only problem is that
while the hanging baskets
were designed for potted
plants to make the town look
more presentable in the
summer months they are not
strong enough for late night
gymnastics.
As a result many have
been damaged by the
revellers but the Council
aims to put a stop to the late
night carry-on. Instead of
repairing the hanging
baskets they are to replace
them with a different type of
plant holder. They will be
better for the flowers but less
fun for the late night
revellers
Safe and well, but
very shaken and
frightened. That was
the verdict on a group
of Wexford Hill
Walkers who were
caught up in the
devastating
earthquake at the
weekend which killed
up to 2,000 people.
The earthquake
struck shortly after the
Wexford group arrived
in Kathmandu and
while they were
unharmed they
witnessed at first hand
the devastation caused
by the ‘quake
Among those in the
party was Fr. Tom
Dalton the Parish Priest of
Riverchapel who quickly got
word back to Wexford that
they were safe and well.
They had intended to spend
two weeks walking and
trekking in the foothills of
the Himalayas but are now
desperately trying to make
their way out of the area and
back home.
It was expected that they
would get lights home on
Wednesday.
Apart from Fr. Dalton the
eight strong group also
includes well known
Wexford businesswoman,
Catherine Jordan of Westgate
Design.

What’s On
Ré featuring Liam Ó Maonlaí,
St Iberius Church, May 10
Liam Ó Maonlaí and
his all-star band are
arriving in Wexford for
the first time on May 10.
In collaboration with the
award winning Tunes in
the Church concert series,
the band, Ré, will perform
seventeen consecutive
nights in church venues
throughout the country.
Ré (pronounced ‘ray’
and meaning ‘moon’ or
‘era’ in Irish) features
some of Ireland’s most
innovative and decorated
musicians. Maitiú Ó
Casaide, a Dublin based
piper from the esteemed
Ó Casaide family,
received TG4’s Young
Musician of the Year
Award 2015. Cormac
Begley’s concertina
playing has been
described as ‘a
masterclass in timeless
musicianship and in 2014
he received the Sean Ó
Riada Award. Eithne Ní
Chatháin (Inni-K), a
highly celebrated
traditional singer and
fiddle player from Co.
Kildare, is breaking new
ground in indie-folk
under the alias Inni-K.
Founding member of the
Hothouse Flowers and
revered songwriter and
accompanist, Peter O
Toole from Dublin adds a
depth of musicality and
sensitivity to this eclectic
group.
Over the past three
years the band have
performed at some of the
main international arts
festivals including the
Sydney Arts Festival,
New Zealand Arts
Festival, Singapore Arts
Festival, Hong Kong Arts
Festival. They have also
toured extensively
throughout Europe and
have performed at the
Lincoln Centre in New
York. They received a
nomination for best music
at the Bessie Awards and
the production Rian
(comprised of Ré and
eight contemporary
dancers) received an
award for best production.
Tickets for the show are
priced at €20 and are
available from
tunesinthechurch.com.
Hailed as one of the finest
one man shows in years,
people will be flocking to see
Aidan Dooley as he brings to
life intrepid Antarctic
explorer and one of Ireland's
unsung heroes, Tom Crean.
Tickets have been selling
extremely fast for this one
and anticipation has been
building for quite some time,
so if you have tickets, you
may just be one of the lucky
ones.
Crean’s story is a testament
of human fortitude against all
the elements of the Antarctic,
his 36 mile, solitary trek to
base camp during the Terra
Nova expedition to rescue
his comrades Teddy Evans
and William Lashly has
been described by
Antarctic historians as “the
finest feat of individual
heroism from the entire
age of exploration”. He
was subsequently awarded
the Albert Medal for his
bravery.This multi-award
winning show has now
played critically acclaimed
sell-out performances
throughout Ireland, USA,
Australia, Europe and the
UK.
Tickets for this wonderful
night of theatre in the
beautiful surroundings of The
National Opera House are
nearly sold out, however, for
more ticket details, visit

Few singer songwriters
have taken on the mantle
of the Irish music scene
with as much ease as
Declan O’Rourke. The
Dublin musician has
carved out a wonderful
reputation over the years
and is widely renowned to
be one of the best singer
songwriters on this little
island of ours.
No stranger to the sunny
south east, Declan is
looking forward to
returning to Wexford once
again to deliver one of his
trademark live shows at
the top floor of The
Centenary Stores on
Charlotte Street.
The Stores have been
putting on a big drive for
live music of late, having
welcomed Paddy Casey to
the top floor in recent
weeks also, and this looks
set to be yet another
fantastic night of ceol and
craic.
Tickets for the show
cost €15, or you could also
pay €35 and receive a four
course dinner in The Yard
and a ticket to the gig
afterwards. Declan never
disappoints and it should
be a great way to kick off
the bank holiday
festivities!
While Wexford can
claim to have been the
birthplace of quite a
number of legends over
the years, not too many
can claim to have had the
impact of Zorro himself,
William Lamport.
The legend of Zorro was
actually inspired by a red-
bearded Irish man hailing
from none other than the
model county of Wexford.
The story was hidden for
years in the Mexican
Inquisition’s archives, only
coming to light in the last
quarter of the 20th century,
however, William
Lamport, the man who all
the legends are based
upon, was born in Wexford
in 1611.
In celebration of this
wonderful connection
between Mexico and
Ireland, Zorrofest brings
an explosion of colour to
the streets of Wexford with
sword-wielding devotees
of the cult of Zorro taking
over the town with
Mariachi dancers,
musicians and of course
some delicious Mexican
food and cocktails to get
you in the mood.

As well as being one of
the country’s best loved
musicians, Don Baker has
also carved out a
reputation as one of the
nice guys of the Irish
music business and a
funny man too!
The legendary Irish
singer, songwriter,
guitarist and harmonica
player returns with his
authentic sound to
Wexford Arts Centre on
Saturday 9th May and this
time he has teamed up
with emerging vocalist
and songwriter, Clara
Rose.
Clara Rose has been
writing and performing
her original music for 10
years and featured on
Don’s 2013 album My
Songs, My Friends. On
the other hand, the man
affectionately known as
The Don became a
professional musician in
1973. It will be an
unforgettable show
featuring collaborations
from their new album of
blues and home-grown
country roots.
Don Baker is rated by
Charlie McCoy and U2’s
Bono as “the world’s
finest acoustic harmonica
player”, and this promises
to be a special show so
book early to avoid
disappointment.
Tickets are €20/€18 and
are available from the box
office on 053 9123764.

News
Once upon a time he was
a TD, a Senior Hurling
Manager, a teacher, a
County GAA Chairman, but
now Tony Dempsey is
happy to play the role of the
wise old Owl at meetings of
the Co. Council and the
Wexford Municipal
Borough District.
Tony is confident in his
own skin and doesn't
believe he has to speak on
every issue. In other words
he is not a councillor who
likes the sound of his own
voice---------well not at
meetings anyway so when
he does open his mouth
people usually listen to
him.
It was on the matter of
dogs fouling public places
that Tony decided to voice
his words of wisdom at the
April meeting of the
Wexford Borough District
Council.
Davy Hynes has been
exercised by dog fouling
for some time and his
motion to the council
suggested that signs should
be erected in all public
green places across the
district warning against
dog fouling.
His colleagues, to be
fair, were all broadly
supportive, but are
beginning to feel they are
banging their heads
against a brick wall on the
matter. Not for the first
time Anthony Kelly
suggested that there
would be no progress until
people were fined and
publicly humiliated.
Deirdre Wadding
likened allowing your dog
to poo in a public place to
having your child do his
or her business on the
grass verge.
Then came Councillor
Dempsey’s intervention.
The problem, said Tony,
was that dogs couldn’t read.
Ah, said Mayor George
Lawlor, you haven’t met
Fergie Kehoe’s dog yet.
According to the Mayor not
only can Fergie’s dog read,
he also manages the Fianna
Fail man’s Facebook page.
So maybe they have
found way of beating the
scourge of dog fouling after
all. They just need to teach
the dogs to read. They
could set up the Wexford
Municipal Canine
Academy. No doubt with
his long experience in
education Cllr Dempsey
would be the ideal choice
as Provost while Deirdre
Wadding also has a
teaching background and
could take on a lecturing
role while Fergie Kehoe
would be another automatic
choice given the wonderful
advances made by his own
dog.
The facility could be a
major tourist attraction. It
would probably be huge it
with Americans who would
no doubt be fascinated by
the idea of having their
dogs learn how to read.
Forget ancient walkways,
heritage centres, music and
joke festivals, this could be
Wexford’s gateway to
prosperity.
If only dogs could read, Wexford
would be cleaner place
€1.5M Courtown
Harbour contract signed
The official contract for the
much anticipated Courtown
Piers Storm Damage Repairs
Project was signed on Friday l
when Wexford County Council
appointed local contractor
Stephen Byrne, Plant & Civil
Engineering Contractors to
carry out the €1.5m contract.
Both North and South Piers
at Courtown Harbour suffered
extensive damage during the
2013/2014 winter storms.
Following an application from
the Council, the Department of
Agriculture Food and the
Marine agreed to provide just
over €1.1m to fund essential
and urgent repair works at the
Harbour. The funding was part
of the Governments nationwide
response to the widescale
coastal damage caused during
the extreme weather conditions
of late 2013 and early 2014.
A comprehensive schedule
of detailed works is contained
within the contract and
includes the concrete
encasement of the sheet piled
side walls and pier top deck,
the installation of tie rods and
ground anchors, grouting
works to the pier heads and
masonry channel walls,
masonry repairs and re-
pointing together with ancillary
works. The works are designed
to not only repair but
strengthen the North and South
Piers, enhancing their capacity
to cope with future storms.
Wexford County Council
will also take the opportunity to
dredge the harbour basin itself
during the course of the works.
It is expected that the
harbour will remain open for
use by all craft up mid-May
2015. The harbour will then
close to all craft while the
specialist repair works are
carried out and will reopen
again when the works are
completed in October 2015.
Among those attending the
contract signing last Friday
were Councillor Malcolm
Byrne, Cathaoirleach, Wexford
County Council, Councillor
John Hegarty, Cathaoirleach
and Members of Gorey
Municipal District, Mr.
Brendan Howlin, T.D.,
Minister for Public Expenditure
and Reform, Mr. Stephen
Byrne, Stephen Byrne Plant &
Civil Engineering Contractors.
Also in attendance were Mr.
John Carley, Director of
Services, and Ms. Annette
O’Neill, Gorey District
Director and other officials of
Wexford County Council,
together with representatives of
Malachy Walsh and Partners,
who designed the remedial
works.
“I wish to thank the
Department of Agriculture
Food and the Marine and
publically acknowledge their
vital contribution to this
contract” said Mr. Carley.
“This investment represents a
strong vote of confidence by
Wexford County Council and
the Department not only in
Courtown Harbour but in
Wexford’s entire marine
infrastructure and recognises
the important contribution of
that infrastructure to Wexford’s
overall economy”.

min Cook: 35 min
4 servings
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
1/2 cinnamon stick
1 pound large peeled and de-
veined prawn, halved length-

chicken if you prefer)
One 1 1/2-inch piece fresh
ginger, peeled and thinly

(about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons dry sake
1 tablespoon rice wine vine-

Good Friday is a day
associated with the crucifixion
across the world, but in one
part of Co. Wexford it may
well in the future be
associated with an eviction.
It seems that on Good
Friday night this year a
woman and her three children
were put out onto the street in
Gorey when she failed to
come up with rental cash.
As always in these cases
the full details are difficult to
establish but there is no doubt
that on that most holy of days
in the Church calendar a
woman and her children
ended up on the street in the
town..
Councillor Robbie Ireton
has been rather exercised by
the episode and raised it at a
meeting of the local
Municipal District Council
where he gave details of the
event. The children were aged
two, seven and fifteen and the
'eviction' happened pretty late
into the evening, according to
his version.
His colleague Mary Farrell
was horrified by what she was
hearing and insisted that
nobody should be put out on
the street, on Good Friday or
any Friday.
But Robbie didn't have the
backing of all his colleagues
when he went on to talk of the
need for landlords to have a
social conscience and to
reduce their rents.
The problem in the Gorey
area is that rents are much
higher than in other parts of
the county so people have
difficulty getting suitable
accommodation if they are
dependent on rent
supplement.
Robbie's answer to the
problem is to appeal to the
social conscience of landlords
and have them reduce their
rents.
But that is unlikely to
happen and the State will
have to find another way of
dealing with the problem. Cllr
Joe Sullivan, who has some
experience in this area,
suggested that if the
government lessened the tax
burden on landlords then this
might be a way of cutting
rents and he has a point.
Many of those who are
renting out houses have
substantial mortgages on the
properties and need every
penny they can get to meet
their commitments while the
tax and compliance burdens
imposed on property owners
is also driving up rents.
But Robbie doesn't
recognise any of these
problems. His view is that
being a landlord is a bit like
winning the lotto. You can
charge what you like and then
take your pick of tenants.
I suspect it is not a world
which many landlords would
recognise.
Gorey’s Good Friday eviction
Council has it both
ways on ‘Ancient East’
I suppose it could be classed
as speaking out of both sides
of your mouth at the same time
but that is sort of the position
which Wexford Co. Council
found itself in when Failte
Ireland launched ‘Ireland’s
Ancient East’.
The Communications
Director was quick to issue a
statement welcoming the
initiative and had Enterprise
Board boss Tom Banville
pointing out all the positives
for the county.
At almost the very same
time the Council Chairman,
Malcolm Byrne was attacking
the fact that Wexford was
omitted from the trail and
merited hardly a mention in
the promotional material and
at a Council meeting in
Enniscorthy exactly the same
was being said by several
councillors.
I suspect we haven't heard
the last of this.
People queueing up to
sell houses to Council
When the government
announced that €26m was to
be provided for the
provision of social housing
in the county over the
next few years there was
understandable interest from
those on the housing list.
Indeed it would not have
been surprising if the
Council had been inundated
with queries from those
looking for homes now that
at least there is some hope
on the horizon
But what was surprising
was the fact that there was a
flood of interest from people
who already had homes and
wanted to sell them to the
Council. The
money being
provided can
be used in a
number of
ways including
for
construction
and the
purchase of
houses.
As soon as
people heard
this it seems
many were
quickly on to
the local
authority offering to sell.
Obviously they believed
that they can achieve a
better deal from the Council
than by selling to other
purchasers. But I wouldn't
be so sure about that.

The health insurance
companies have been very
busy lately advertising their
various offers to help people
beat the age related loading
which kicks in at the end of
this month. Effectively it
means that if you don't have
health insurance before the
age of thirty five and want to
take it out later in life it will
cost you more.
To entice young people to
take out cover all the
companies have developed
tailor made policies where
the big attraction is price.
Television adverts make it
looks as if you can get cover
for just a few quid a week.
But the reality is a little
different. The type of cover
offered under these plans is
virtually worthless in most
cases. In fact it would hardly
get you inside the porch door
of most hospitals not to
mention the foyer.
The tragedy is that some
people actually believe they
have private cover under the
schemes when in fact some
of the policies are worse than
useless. In a way they are a
sort of pretend schemes.
But health insurance
companies are great at
pretend. In other television
adverts they have images of
lovely caring people looking
after every need. Just sign on
the dotted line they say and
we will look after the rest.
Like hell they will.
In many cases they will do
their level best to deny cover,
even to the most seriously ill.
On occasions they won't pay
for some procedures over-
ruling consultants and saying
that what is being
recommended is not
required.
On other occasions they
will only pay for some
procedures if they are carried
out in a hospital other than
where the person is a patient.
But I think most sickening
of all is when they deny
terminally people cover to
pay for an ambulance to take
them home so that they can
spend their final days
surrounded by their family.
These are people who if they
stayed in hospital would cost
the health insurer several
thousands of Euro but an
ambulance to take them
home would only cost a
fraction of that.
However, some health
insurers suggest that paying
for an ambulance to take a
person home, however ill
they are, might encourage
people to get ambulances
instead of taxis.
That my friends is the
reality of health insurance
companies not the cosy
butter wouldn't melt in my
mouth type of image they
spend so much to portray on
television. Do not be fooled.
O’Brien’s papers go after the real stories
Part of Denis O'Brien's
media empire is involving
itself in some really serious
investigative journalism, it
seems. Don't be silly they are
not setting up a special
investigations unit to look
into the sale of Siteserv or
anything as trivial as that.
No they are interested in
really serious matters like
how public money is spent or
mis-spent. The razor sharp
hacks from an O'Brien organ
are determined to find out just
how much is being spent on
cakes and biscuits to go with
the cup of tea which
councillors enjoy during the
break in their monthly
meetings.
I suppose I should declare
an interest here because I
enjoy the tea and biscuits
myself. I don't know how
much they cost, but I’d can
say for certain that the
councillors and the rest of us
would have to spend
centuries eating biscuits and
drinking tea before the bill
would come even close to the
€100m which the State lost
on the sale of Siteserve.
‘Backways’ horses real winner
There was a lot of interest
in Wexford races last week
when the course staged its
first ever meeting with the
horses running in the
opposite direction to normal.
Jockeys and trainers seem to
have been impressed and it
looks as if it might become a
permanent feature of racing
in Wexford at some stage in
the future.
But the comment I liked
best was from the punter who
after years of losing money
at the Bettyville track was
breathing a sigh of relief at
the news that the horses were
to run 'backways'. 'That sort
of means that the horse that
would have been first if they
were running in the other
direction will be last now and
the last horse will be first', he
reasoned. 'I should be in the
money then because my
selections have been
finishing last here for years'.
If only it were so simple.
Health insurers are not as
caring as they try to pretend

News
National award for
Enniscorthy teacherAn Enniscorthy teacher
was one of just two people
nationally to be presented
with an ASTI
Achievement Award at
the weekend.
Jim McGovern is a
teacher at St Mary’s CBS,
Enniscorthy.. He is a well-
known GAA personality
in Wexford and
represented his county in
football from 1983-1988.
He has a long track record
as a trainer and coach
working with Wexford
teams and St Mary’s
teams. James has a deeply
held belief that extra
curricular activities play a
vital role in supporting
student mental health. As
well as his commitment to
GAA, Jim is also heavily
involved in public
speaking for young people
and has coached his
students to success in
numerous national
competitions including the
Mental Health Ireland
Public Speaking
Competition.
The ASTI Achievement
Awards are presented
annually to honour
teachers who not only
play an important
professional role in their
schools, but whose talent,
commitment and
determination enables
them and/ or their students
to excel in areas such a
sport, the arts, and
advocacy.
Previous winners
include poet Noel
Monahan, rural affairs
campaigner and MEP
Marian Harkin, and
former Ireland rugby
coach Eddie O’Sullivan.
Commenting on the
2015 ASTI Achievement
Awards, ASTI President
Philip Irwin said:
“The work carried out
by teachers in the
classroom is well
recognised. However,
what is much less visible
is the contribution that
teachers all over the
country make outside the
classroom which has
significant benefits for
young people, schools,
local communities and
society as a whole. Go to
any local GAA game,
soccer game, amateur
drama production, local
political meetings, or any
community-based event
and you are nearly certain
to find a teacher involved.
The contributions of
teachers play a vital role
in sustaining school
communities and indeed
entire communities,
particularly at a time when
communities are
experiencing the
consequences of years of
austerity.”
Wexford TDs in Dail spat on Siteserv
Wexford TDs, Minister
Brendan Howlin and Deputy
Mick Wallace had a spat in
the Dail over the
controversial sale of Siteserv
last October.
Responding to points made
by Deputy Wallace over the
sale of Siteserv by the IBRC,
Minister Howlin responded
by saying "Bluntly,
considering the Deputy's
position, I am surprised at
some of the assertions he has
made."
When Wallace went on to
say that very little had
changed in the area of
political reform and the
cutting of ties between
Government and big
business, Minister Howlin
said: "The Deputy is
fundamentally, absolutely,
completely and wholly
wrong."
Speaking this week
Deputy Wallace said he
wasn't shocked that the
Sitserv deal was being
scrutinised, but was slightly
surprised that it
took so long for
the media to
highlight the
issue. "I raised
concerns about
the Siteserv sale
twice last
October, but in
fairness others
raised it before
then. Sinn Fèin's
Pearse Doherty
raised it as far
back as April
2012."

Report
Paddy and Jasper
are two of the
Bachelors on the
lookout for new
homes. Both cats
are very well
behaved and litter
trained.
Paddy was
terribly nervous
when he first came
into the NWSPCA
Cattery, however
with lots of patience
and affection, he
has relaxed and his
true personality has
started to shine
through. Paddy is a
cuddler. He loves to have
his head scratched and
purrs like a tractor
Jasper is a quiet guy,
who, although not very
vocal, shows his affection
through smarms and
cuddles. He is a student of
the cattery. He takes it all
in. Volunteers think he
knows the routine of life in
the NWSPCA Cattery
almost as well as their
resident cat Tom.
Both males are neutered,
vaccinated, wormed and
ready for new lives.
The NWSPCA currently
have 10 vouchers for half
price spay/neuter of cats.
One voucher per
household.
Volunteers are who
make the NWSPCA
work. As such, The North
Wexford SPCA are
hoping to have more
people join them. They

YOU
Co. Council Diary
Whatever you do don’t mention the ‘T’ wordWhatever you don’t
mention the ‘T’ word. ‘T’ in
this case refers to
‘Travellers’-------not the type
of person who was so
familiar at one stage driving
around the country selling
goods to local shops but the
‘Traveller’ who is protected
by all sorts of laws to ensure
that they are not
discriminated against.
These protected species of
‘Ts’ had a bit of a roadside
Horse Fair in Enniscorthy
on St. Patrick’s Day. In the
past this type of illegal fair
has often been held on New
Year’s Day, but on this
occasion it was the national
Saint’s Day that was chosen
to do business.
By all accounts the
gathering on the roads
around Drumgoold was a
sight to behold and was
more like the
Wild West than a
rural Irish town.
So bad were
the scenes that
many locals were
afraid to leave
their homes and
it was, seemingly,
a near miracle
that no one was
seriously injured
or even killed.
Paddy
Kavanagh is used
to the problems
caused by such
gatherings in the
area and he is
attempting to do
something about
it, but the public
representative
who was lucky to
escape with his
life on the occasion of the
most recent fair was James
Browne.
He ventured off the beaten
track to have a look at the
goings on but was
confronted by the sight of a
van being driven by a horse.
Well not exactly, but at a
glance that Is what it looked
like with a rope attached to
a horse running alongside
the van. The driver of the
vehicle was also holding the
rope but according to
Browne Junior it was
difficult to know who was in
charge of the vehicle, the
human or the horse.
Anyway Paddy Kavanagh
is desperately trying to put a
stop to this type of carry-on.
The problem in trying to do
anything about it is the fact
that nobody is really sure of
who to turn to when the fair
appears.
At the April meeting of the
Co. Council the Enniscorthy
councillor wanted to
establish t the local
authority’s policy on these
horse fairs. Simple,
straightforward, you might
imagine, but no, there was
problem. In his motion
Paddy referred to the fairs
being organised by travellers
and that was ‘no no’ as far
as some councillors were
concerned. If it was
individuals we were talking
about it would be ok, but you
could not refer to
‘travellerss’ in the motion.
That was the view of
Deridre Wadding, Davy
Hynes, Chairman Malcolm
Byrne and others. But these
people are ‘travellers’
pleaded an exasperated
Councillor Kavanagh. In the
end he was happy enough to
have the people involved
called anything as long as he
could get action on the issue.
Paddy thought it a bit
strange that an effort to have
something done about illegal
horse fairs involving
travellers should generate so
much debate when a little bit
earlier in the meeting a
motion calling on the people
of Wexford to vote ‘yes’ to
same sex marriage was
nodded through without any
objections.
Times they are a changin’
Paddy. It seems that today’s
councillors are up for
anything, just as long as you
don’t mention the ‘T’ word.
Councillor Paddy Kavanagh

Eoin
Introduction
This week we informed
that one of the places
where we have a resi-
dence will shut its doors
for the last time, so we
have both written a little
piece each about the last
3-4 years that we have en-
joyed in the venue. Also of
course we both now have
space for new nightclubs
to contact us about our
availably as we are now
free agents hahahahaha
Glantis- Runaway
I gets asked to play this song every
gig I play lately and what a tune it is,
always gets everyone singing along
and a cert to fill any dancefloor <3
$25 million is
spent on lap
dances in Las
Vegas each year,
so if you’re a
stripper we ad-
vise you to get
over to Vegas: D
Friday just gone we
learned of the unfortunate
closure of Metropolis
Nightclub in Wexford
town. Adam and I owe a
lot to Metropolis and
Event
Manager/Promoter/DJ
Cullie who took us both
under his wing and turned
us into the DJs we are
today. Four years ago he
took a dope of a chap with
stupid hair and gave him a
resident spot in Juice teen
disco, a disco that would
see Metropolis full to
capacity on many
occasions. I’m talking
about Adam of course who
is now a well renowned DJ
who plays Gigs and
Parties all over the place.
Three years ago I would
not even have called
myself a DJ. All I was able
to do was play songs from
a laptop and I had no idea
of anything really , didn’t
even know how to set up
speakers, Adam will argue
that I’m still not able to do
that haha. One day I was
walking through town and
from the top floor of
Central Station I could
hear knocks on the
window and
two lads
waving at
me to call
up. Those
lads were
Cullie and
Adam
Ennis . I
popped up
anyway and
in my head
I was
thinking ‘oh
oh what have I done’
because previous to this I
had a little bit of a run in
with them both haha.
Surprisingly it was to offer
me the job of being a
resident for Juice with
Adam …. The rest is
history!!! Cullie single
handily taught myself and
Adam everything we know
today. In Metropolis we
spent endless hours from
going through basics to
going through what every
lead in the whole world is
used for.
Now I’d say he thought
he made a massive
mistake a few weeks into
my new job as I hadn’t a
clue about anything. I
dropped speakers, I
messed up playing live, I
blew speakers and I broke
Amps amongst a lot of
other stuff but he stuck
beside me and taught me
the trade. Three years ago
I didn’t even know what
DJ Decks were, didn’t
know CDJ’S existed so I
think he has performed a
miracle in teaching me so
well. That’s just how the
two of us became Dj’s
and it’s all down to
Metropolis & Cullie, so
we owe everything to him.
The only unfortunate thing
that came out of the three
years of been down in
Metropolis is I’ve became
best friends with Adam 
….. Wouldn’t ya be
raging!!! #WorstChap
Eoin Healy
Absolutely gutted to be
writing this, but as many
of you have heard by now,
Metropolis Nightclub –
home to Eoin and myself
for the past 3-4 years – has
closed its doors for the last
time. I know it probably
sounds cliché but the
amount of work that goes
on behind the scenes at
these places is insane.
Four years ago I was
asked to play at one of
Juice Teen Disco’s first
nights in its new home,
Metropolis. I still
remember the feeling of
going from playing music
in my bedroom to playing
in front of 700 people.
After that, I was pretty
much hooked! About eight
months later – after
playing at loads more
discos, I started to be
trained in, so when I
turned 18 I could start
playing at the over 18s
events. As much as I loved
playing to people my age
and younger, there was no
comparison. There was
nothing like playing in
front of a crowded
Metropolis Nightclub! At
this time it was just myself
and Cullie playing there. I
remember sitting down for
lunch in our regular spot in
Central Station and having
a talk about bringing
somebody new in to work
with us. Of course, Eoin
was the first name to come
to mind. We talked for
about an hour and made
the decision to give him a
call over the next few
days, but sure the minute
the decision was made, he
walked right in front of us
as we were having our
weekly creep on the town.
We called him up there
and then and the rest is
history! For the next three
years, we’d be down in the
club every single weekend
without fail. It became a
bit of a routine; go down
to Metropolis in the
morning, set everything
up, call into Central
Station for lunch and have
a sneaky pint. This was
literally the majority of my
Saturdays for about three
years.
It’s mad how much
we’re going to miss that
place. We can’t thank
management, staff and
security enough! Most of
all, neither myself, Eoin or
the nightclub would have
had a quarter of our
success if it wasn’t for
Cullie. It’s been
unbelievable to see the
amount of people thanking
us for the past few years,
it’s seriously appreciated!

News Around the County
A new era for air
passengers flying between the
southeast of Ireland and the
UK started on Monday, April
27 as VLM Airlines
commenced services on the
Waterford-London Luton
route.
The Belgian-based airline
will fly 12 times a week in
each direction with the new
service starting with their
inaugural flight from
Waterford at 7.30am on
Monday, returning from
Luton at 9.40am.
Flying in Europe since
1993, the airline is to provide
twice-daily Waterford-London
Luton flights from Monday-
Friday, as well as a Saturday
and a Sunday service. The
Fokker 50 aircraft being used
on the route has a capacity for
up to 50 passengers. There
have been strong bookings
since details of the new
service were announced in
mid-March, and reservations
have been made continuously
through the website
www.flyvlm.com and with
travel agents since the
announcement.
VLM are also operating a
four times a week service
from Waterford to
Birmingham. Their first
service on this route departed
Waterford at 11.50am on
Monday..
Speaking as the first flight
took off from Waterford this
morning, Alix de Weerdt,
Chief Commercial Officer,
VLM Airlines, said: “All that
we have seen since
announcing our Waterford
routes gives us tremendous
confidence and
encouragement about the
demand that exists for
convenient and affordable air
travel between Ireland’s
southeast region and the UK.
“We are particularly
pleased to commence the
service at this time of year as
we know the tourism and
hospitality sector in the
southeast will receive a boost
from our inbound services.
Waterford-London services
have operated for almost 30
years now and we look
forward to working with our
partners at Waterford Airport
to make this and our
Waterford-Birmingham route
a sustainable success.”
Desmond O’Flynn, CEO,
Waterford Airport added:
“There has been a tremendous
initial response from business
and leisure passengers alike to
the arrival of VLM Airlines
and their commitment to our
London Luton and
Birmingham routes. It is clear
that there is considerable
demand for these services,
and VLM Airlines are getting
a great reaction in the market
as people see the value and
convenience of flying through
Waterford.
“We look forward to
building on a great start and
appreciate the enormous
goodwill that exists towards
the Airport, as people
recognise its economic and
social importance as a critical
piece
of infrastructure in the
region.”
Bookings on the Waterford-
London Luton and
Waterford-Birmingham
services can be made through
www.flyvlm.com where the
airline is also currently
running a competition
offering the chance to win an
entire plane –allowing you
and 49 of your guests to be
flown return on any of their
routes.
Multi-million primary
care centre for Wexford
Wexford town is set to
receive a new multi million
euro Primary Healthcare
Clinic at the site of the
current HSE clinic at
Grogan’s Road it was
announced this week.
A total of €70m in loans
was approved last week to
provide 14 primary care
centres across the country.
Construction on the new
facility is set to get underway
early next year and will be
completed by late 2016. The
new centre will house GP
and community nursing
teams, as well as an Area
Medical Officer.
It will also offer a GP Out
of Hours Service, while
services will also be
available in Occupational
Therapy, Physiotherapy,
Social Work, Speech &
Language Therapy, Home
Help, Addiction Services,
Dental Services, Nutritional
and Dietician Services,
Psychology & Counselling
Services, Audiology &
Opthalmology, Chiropody /
Podiatry, Early Intervention
and School Age.
Making the announcement
, Minister Brendan Howlin
said: ‘I am delighted to
confirm that Wexford Town
is to get its own Primary
Care Centre and I’m
encouraged that it will be
completed so soon. It means
that local people will have a
top-class, community-based
healthcare service on their
doorstep, and it is a further
step towards delivering the
right care in the right place at
the right time.’
Minister Howlin also said
that the announcement meant
that ordinary people were
finally feeling the benefit of
economic recovery
“At the start of this year,
Labour leader Joan Burton
emphasised that she wanted
to see ordinary people begin
to share in the recovery,’ he
said. ‘Today’s
announcement, along with
the recent news that free GP
care will be provided to all
under 6s this summer, proves
that we are fulfilling that
vision.’
Young FF call for ‘Yes’ vote
Ogra Fianna Fail in
Wexford are urging all
young people in the
constituency to come out
and use their vote on the
two referendums on
Friday 22nd May.
Wexford’s Ogra
member John Higgins
said; “In a recent report, it
shows that the voter
register is missing over
one third of 18-25 years
old as they are not
registered to vote.”
He continued by saying:
“this is a worry if young
people do not even
register to vote. Hopefully
more awareness of the
importance of been
registered to vote and
using their entitlement of
voting.”
John Higgins spoke on
the importance young
people have in a
democracy and a vital part
of referendums and
elections is been placed
on the draft register by
25th November.
Higgins said: “Young
people have a pivotal role
in democracy and the first
step is been registered and
casting their respective
vote on the Civil Marriage
and reducing the age of
presidential candidate
referendums on Friday
22nd May”.
Celebration time for Enniscorthy Chess Club
Enniscorthy Chess Club
celebrated their victorious
season in both Division Six &
Seven of the Leinster Chess
Union Leagues by collecting
the title trophies on Sunday
19th April, in the Teachers
Club in Dublin, where the final
round of the leagues took
place.
Coached by Darko Polimac,
the teams who range in age
from ten to eighteen battled
their way against opposition
aged eight to ninety and were
unbeaten in each round to take
the coveted titles.
It was the second year the
club entered the Bodley
Division Six. In their
inaugural year they came third,
this year they were determined
that the title would be theirs.
Their first game, in September,
started with a 4-1 victory
against Elm Mount, from there
over eleven rounds they
amassed an incredible 46.5
points out of a possible 55, a
clear 9 points ahead of their
nearest rivals St Benildus. The
team comprised of Dovydas
Pocevicius, Agustin Plaza
Reino, Joshua Redmond,
Robbie Kildea, Mercedes
Plaza Reino and Dean
Copeland who subbed up from
the O’Sullivan Division 7
team. Dovydas, Joshua,
Robbie and Mercedes were
also awarded a board prize, an
accomplished trophy awarded
for exceptional
individual
performance, only
seven of which
were awarded in
this division.
Division Seven,
The O’Sullivan was
revived this year
due to the increased
demand for entry to
the Leagues. It
consisted of eight
rounds and the
team, which
comprised of
Dean Copeland,
Dylan Nolan,
Will Sidney,
Adam
Copeland,
Mateo Plaza
Reino and
Leire Plaza
Reino scored
an amazing
31.5 out of a
possible 40.
Dean, Mateo
and Adam the
top points
scorer in the
division, were
also awarded
Board prizes
for their
exceptional
individual
performances.
There was little surprise but
much admiration last weekend
amongst the Irish chess
community, Enniscorthy are
now, without a doubt, regarded
as one of the most formidable
junior clubs in the Country.
With promotion to division
five and six confirmed the club
is now hoping to enter a new
team into division seven of the
leagues in September.
The club would like to
especially thank their sponsor
Alcast Co Ltd Enniscorthy and
also the IFA centre for their
continued support.

Work to complete the link
from the Fort Road to the
Hollyfort Road in Gorey will
commence shortly, the Chair
of Wexford County Council,
Malcolm Byrne, has
announced.
The vital link has been
delayed for a number of
years but clearing work will
begin in the coming weeks
with a view to construction
happening over the Summer.
It is planned that the road
would be opened in time for
the reopening of schools in
September.
"The road will make it
easier to travel around the
town and particularly
improve access to Creagh
College and the three
primary schools beside the
College."
He warned, however,
"There will be a change in
traffic flow around the town
and I can foresee extra
pressure on Garden City
when cars use that area to get
onto the Inner Relief Road at
Willow Park and to avoid the
Main Street. These changes
will be monitored and
appropriate measures to deal
with speed and possible
congestion will be
introduced."
The next phase of the
Inner Relief Road will then
link Ramsfort Park with the
Ballytegan Road when
construction is carried out
behind Woodlands Manor
and Woodlands Drive.
"This will make the
junction between the
Ballytegan Road and the
Arklow Road even busier
and safety measures will be
essential as this is already a
very dangerous junction."

LARRY O’GORMANThe man who gets Behind the Sports Headlines
Local senior hurling
championship time againAll eyes are on the
senior hurling
championship as the first
and second rounds are set
to take place on the 2nd
and 3td of May and then
the 9th and 10th of May.
At this stage all clubs are
setting out with hope in
their hearts and a belief
that they can win the
crown.
Shelmaliers won their
first championship in 2014
after many years in the
wilderness and you have
to say looking back now
they really were the best
team overall last year.
Their success will
certainly give great hope
to all the teams that have
not previously tasted
success as this year’s
competition gets
underway.
The big question now is
whether or not Shels can
hold on to their title. Time
will tell but I will say they
won't be too far away if
they can repeat the same
form. The next big
question is can Oulart/The
Ballagh come back and
win it again or can Ferns
put themselves in
contention for the title. I
know its early days yet but
I can see this
championship being very
close and a tightly
contested affair.. Both
groups are very tight and
will be very interesting.
We will have a clearer
picture after the first two
rounds. That will give us a
sense of how strong (or
weak) the various teams
are and provide us with a
better overall picture. All
clubs at the present
moment are putting a big
effort playing league
games and also playing
challenge games to
sharpen up their players.
But the heat is building up
for be a very interesting
year and from next
weekend we will begin to
see who has prepared best
and improved most since
last year’s championship..
Who do I fancy? Well I
think it is really between
our teams:
1. Oulart/ The Ballagh.
2. Shelmaliers .
3. Ferns.
4. St Martins.
The team I fancy most
is Oulart/The Ballagh.
They had a big slip up last
year and by all accounts
they are putting in a
mighty effort so far this
year and are hungry for
success again.
But don't write off any
of the other three. Oulart
are short priced favourites
with Walsh bookmakers to
regain the title and you
can see all the prices he is
offering if you fancy a
flutter on your local team
You may well ask what
about the rest? Well it
would take a hell of a
effort for any side outside
these teams to make the
break through, but if Lady
Luck is on their side who
knows they could prove
me wrong and cause a big
upset we'll just have to
wait and see. By the way
good luck to everyone
involved.
From all the players
who will take to the field
from the start of the
championship next
weekend I have picked out
eight that I think will have
a big influence on how
things end up. .

No need
for sambos
No need for any
sambos this weekend as
the local championship
kicks off. With all the
games being played
locally you'll have
plenty of time to have
your dinner before you
go. Bacon and cabbage it
is for me.. By the way,.
following last week’s
piece there was a big
sale on mushy peas in
the shops. They can't
keep them on the
shelves, I hear. Anyone
with suggestions on on
the best sandwiches to
make for a match day
send it to
