    I find your contributions negative and aggressive. Name calling and references to dog doo say a lot about you and your level of maturity.

    I think you and jpb1974 like being negative and aggressive. Its a pity neither of you can make an intelligent argument to support your view. jpb1974 talks a lot of waffle.
    This forum is about debate, give it a try without negative attempts to put me down.

    Maybe Enniscorthy continues to suffer and fail due to people like both of you - Negative, aggressive, back-biting.
    Maybe if people were more positive this town could grow and prosper.

    I'm off to the beach, no real debate here.

    Excuse me, name calling? At no point did I do that. In fact, I have consistently stuck to the boards rule of attacking the post, not the poster. I have broken down your posts into points, either addressing or querying each one, with a view to getting relevant debate on them. At no point did I make reference to your character, or suggest anything personal about you in my posts. The closest I came to that was to compare the nature of your answers to those of politicians. To be blunt, calling maturity into question, and alleging an an inability for "intelligent argument" is the first thing close to name calling in this thread.

    Hypocrisy, thy name is RKQ.

    Mods, I apologise if this post is off topic, but I don't appreciate accusations such as those what were made, when up to this I had actually been addressing points only to get no response

    Enniscorthy is the central town in the county so should be treated as so,too often everything goes to Wexford town.Not begrudging Wexford

    Not having a go at you here but this is exactly the problem with development in Ireland. It has been shown that for smaller growth centres such as Enniscorthy to flourish you first need to develop central hubs. By developing the larger towns like Wexford and creating good transport links development in all areas will filter down. This is easier understood on the national stage. Ireland's history of spreading out inward investment as done by the IDA has actually hampered our growth.

    I think when the new motorway is built people will actually see how deserted Enniscorthy is, the amount of people there at the moment is just an allusion.

    This is a clear example of name calling. Another personal attack that adds nothing to the discussion or topic. Mods is this an example of Flaming?

    Enought of these pointless immature personal attacks, lets get back on topic.
    I agree with others above, the fate of the Castle will be decided by the youth of the area - bums on seats. Money talks at the end of the day.
    Personally I believe a properous town needs a number of different Niteclubs, pubs, music / comedy venues etc each catering to many varied tastes.

    I don't believe an individual should be involved in physical aggression. Its up to the Management of the Niteclub to ensure public safety within their premises and it is up to the Garda to ensure public safety on our streets.

    There should not be large numbers of "barred people" outside a premises waiting to cause trouble. Proper Policing outside the premise would prevent acts of violence or street fights.

    If you look at Theatre in Victorian times you will see it was quite a boisterous place with lots of crowd participatation. The crowd were usually quite merry or drunk. I am not comparing the Castle with the Atheneum. I am simply pointing out that theatre is very unpredictable and certain shows or performances could cause public disorder. This has happened in this country in recent times, look at the outcry Playboy of the Western World caused.

    I hope a refurbished Atheneum will become a popular theatre venue, a popular music venue and a popular comedy venue. It will need be to survive in this economic climate.

    No, we have a potentially beautiful town - darkness and lighting cover up a myriad of eyesores - you can't see any of the day time drinking in those pics, or the graffiti, or the relentless traffic, or the closed up shops, smashed windows etc. There's no point in burying our heads in the sand, there are many problems which need urgent attention. If the flood defences are built as proposed you might as well move the town 5 miles downstream like Springfield in the Simpsons.

    I'd agree that the town has problems. Doesn't every town?
    But as formed by nature, this valley and man built town, we are quite lucky. The view of Enniscorthy Quays, the Prom, the view from Vinegar Hill, view of St.Senan from the C.B.S etc.

    We are spoilt by numerous really beautiful views. Enniscorthy is positioned in a beautiful setting.

    Its still a beautiful photo! Taken from an unusual position on Templeshannon Quay. It was taken with skill by a keen eye. I for one enjoy the photographs, well done.

    Nice pics-look great until you actually walk around the town,then it's a real let down unfortunately.Looks like eventually some work to start on the museum,you'd swear the builders were up to their eyes by not starting til now AFTER THE TOURIST SEASON. Not their fault I know but how long do tenders have to sit on a desk before being awarded and work commencing?

    Seems most of today was spent putting up signs along the top of the Museme railings. They didn't cover the whole railing, just the top two feet.
    Now the Builder has a prime advertising hoarding to match his signs on Petits!!!:D

    Back to the Snags unfortunatley -

    Was driving up the Shannon this morning and the road surface up around the top of the 21 Steps was literally crumbling away at the edges in places.

    If my memory serves me correctly this part of the road was re-surfaced fairly recently... within the past few years.

    But.. here's a couple of nice picture from my photo album to cheer everyone up:

    These photos are a few years old.

    The first was taken from 'The View' (surprised if this the same place you are talking about, rarely anyone up there) and the second from Vinegar Hill.

    Already mischievously posted this pic in the Photographic thread but here it is again in the more appropriate thread. What is the mental age of some gob****e who would do this? How many British War Memorials would you find defaced and, indeed, if they were defaced it would hardly be with a scrawl saying 'up the Paras' or 'up the Household Cavalry'. Also, in the unlikely event of a British War Memorial being defaced it would be cleaned up without delay. Enniscorthy 1500 my hole! :mad:

    The teenagers hanging around the monument have no concept of what it represents and simply don't care-you'd be surprised though,the ones that we would expect to be the culprits,ie.the tracksuit and hoodie brigade won't deface monuments in the town.It tends to be mommy and daddies little darlings that are 'misunderstood' are found to be the perpetrators of said grafitti.
    It's a disgrace that a monument to a major historical event in the county can be defaced within yards of the Council Offices and nobody saw who did it-the place is surrounded by camera's ffs!
    I took part in the '98 commemorations and was proud to do so-makes one appreciate the sacrifice that people of the region made.Sadly this is lost on many young people today who live in their own little world and their most common answer is "I dunno".As a teenager I spent many an hour hanging around the monument in the Square but neither myself or my friends felt the need to tag it.You may as well go scrawl on peoples headstones in the graveyard as on a monument to those who died trying to earn freedom,how would the culprits feel if mummy and daddy were landed with a hefty bill for cleaning off their little darling's artwork.

    Wow
    So did I dude. There and the legendary "Hole in the Wall"
    We were given a bad rep for doin so but there was feck all else to do in the town and we just used the spots to hang out.
    We would never have dreamed of defacing the monument.

    Could it be we know each other from another life :)

    zerks - I blame the schools and parents for not instilling some sense of history and civic pride into the kids. They needn't indoctrinate them, but just give them a sense of pride in their history and town. As for defacing gravestones that already is widespread, and my eventual resting place a few miles from town has suffered many times from people smashing (!) headstones.

    It's all too true and a sad indictment of how so many kids are educated these days-History in school is geared towards results and points in the Leaving Cert,the same as any other subject.Kids don't see the 'living,real history' around them and as a result no respect is cultivated in them.I heard stories of the graveyard being damaged and as I said earlier it's not the local 'scobies' that do it,instances of such vandalism in other places have been carried out by kids of so-called 'respectable' people-strange the mentality of some kids these days.
    It might sound archaic but bring back a good arse kicking for some of these kids.The element of fear,cause and effect is lacking these day's and God help us with the next generation.(I sound like I'm 100:eek:)
    Get the town cleaned up and make it an object of pride-you want to hang around the place,keep it clean,we all have a part to play.

    The kip nite club may not have reopened yet but it's already making its presence felt. The alarm system went off last night at around 1am and wasn't shut off until this morning around 8am! I reported it to the Gardai at 7am. Sadly I feel that it is a portent of things to come and I suspect that my phone line to the Gardai may see further use once it opens. :(

For a change the adjudicators appear to have actually visited the town but despite noting many of the things that I/we have been pointing out for ages (including the graffiti covered playground on the promenade) still seemed to think that things are heading in the right direction. :rolleyes:

    Cant believe that someone is going to open the Castle, i saw the 'interview' in the Echo a few weeks ago. I say interview loosely. 'This is not about money' was one quote. Well lucky for Mr. Kehoe because i cant see this town being able to sustain another night club and given the finances needed to turn The Castle into anything remotely able to compete with the spec and comfort of the competion is going to deem this project a financial black hole. '150k of his own money' has already being spent. 150k would just about gut the place and put in some base to start actually re-building the place. When PJ Doyle closed The Castle he basically locked the doors and walked away. As you can see by the picetures on the facebook page all the orginal fixtures and fittings were still place.

    A clean, coat of paint and some new sofa's wont do anything for this place. I would be surprised if it didnt require major work to make health and safety and fire officer and licensing authorites happy.
    1. Full re-wire
    2. Full re-plumbing
    3. Refit male and female WC's with hot water at sinks
    4. Structure and insulation (fire rated)
    5. Fire Detection System
    6. Emergency / Backup Lighting
    7. New Bar / Counter / Shelving
    8. New Coldroom / Beer Lines / Taps / Coolers
    9. Fire Certificate - thats means you cant paddlock fire doors
    10. Decoration / Carpets / Tiling / Timber Floors
    11. Sound and Lighting System
    12. Heating / Ventilation / Air Con / Extraction

    Then a bigger head ache if they are going to do food, coldroom, catering equipment, stainless steel fit out etc etc.

    150k wont open this dump. It has had its day.

    Taps with acutal water in them in the toilets - that would be a major improvement!

    Remember the ad in the Echo every week for the Castle "With Millions Spent on it" - mmmmmm!!!!

    Have seen in the ECHO that the Council have allocated houses in private estates to people,surely this is a crazy move when properties remain vacant in council estates around the town.I know developers are at the stage where the would sell houses to the devil if they got paid but in fairness many people are mortgaged to the hilt in private estates and to see houses beside them being allocated as council houses is a slap in the face.
    No offence meant to anybody living in council accomodation but it's ludicris spending money buying properties in private estates while perfectly good houses owned by the council are left empty and at the mercy of vandals.

    That area of town was meant to be a nice apartment block by the river but has turned into a cesspit with people living there that nobody want's as neighbours.Even the look of the place is off putting.
    On another note-great work on filling the potholes/craters on Shannon Hill :(,have the council never heard of one of these?

    Are motorist from Wexford road / Rafter Bridge colour blind or what?

    3 days in a row now and motorist from Wexford still insist on parking on the yellow box on the Abbey Square - Abbey Quay junction. This blocks traffic from using the empty inside lane, leading to Templeshannon / Wexford and helps to block up the whole town. (Abbey Square roundabout, Castle Hill, Main Street, Duffry Gate etc)

    If I were a Garda I'd wait near the box every afternoon, 3:30 - 5pm. Bound to catch a lot of colour blind or plane stupid motorist parked on the box. Lots of fines might send the message - stay off the box, its an offence to block the box!

    Pretty much agree with what you are all saying, I never defaced anything as a youngster, nor ever thought of it. But the last 3 posts are sounding like you know every person in the areas you state. If any of these people read these posts it will probably make them want to create more carnage. Are you positive all the people in those areas you state are all as you stated? I used to hear the odd murmour at one time of "he/she lives up the shannon", and not in a nice way, so am I to assume that all people "up the shannon" are bad?
    Another point is that someone rents these properties out, are any of these from the locality?
    No matter where you live/work there is always going to be "undesirables", that's a fact of life, but there are a great deal of so-called "respectable" families that have the odd "undesirable" in the family. Should we call all those families that live within the "respectable/undesirable" families location "undesirables", and talk about them as if they are crap?

    I'm not sure what way you have read these posts but I don't for a second see anyone attempting to tar groups of people (based on where they live) with the same brush.
