Heard Uncle Sams burned out during the night. Didn't see it myself but I believe nobody hurt

vicwatson · 18-02-2013 1:20am

Was that not leased out by the wan that had mccaris in clonard village? Thats now closed down the last few months ?

The apartment upstairs went on fire and the fire brigade water came though its floor causing the restaurant ceiling to collapse. I had a look yesterday.

vicwatson · 20-02-2013 6:28pm

Did they live up above the restaurant?

RadioRetro · 21-02-2013 1:53pm

Don't think so.

Engine Oil cap found on Duncannon Beach

oldyouth · 28-02-2013 10:57pm

^^^^^^

So, not only did you stop on your walk to pick up an oil cap, but you decided that it needed to be photographed. Then you thought that the internet would be thrilled to see it too.

I like walking - I like taking photgraphs - I like internet social networking - and I like helping people find lost property .

Where did I go wrong ?

oldyouth · 01-03-2013 8:42am

Only poking fun. However, if the oil cap was on the beach, I think the car might be in bigger trouble than you can solve by returning it to it's owner

Happened me once , - left the cap at a garage and drove about 10 miles .

Thought the car was on fire , and got a big fright at first , only to discover the cap was missing

somegirl2009 · 15-03-2013 1:08am

That is a great idea

Brendan Howlin heading to the Far East this weekend,at least he'll fit in sizewise.

I eagerly await his return with promises of many jobs for our beleagured county.

havetoquit · 15-03-2013 1:04pm

Yes...we can but hope and while he is here, I hope someone will also have the presence of mind to ask his support on Waterford Airport resuming its flights to London, which hugely impacts on those of us from the Wexford who have had to go to the UK for employment. Having to spend two days travel and extra money on transport from Dublin/Cork is not easy and makes a weekend trip impossible.

People of the South East really need to use their voice in this; call newspapers, local radio stations, or use whatever other form of access to highlight this problem, or we will eventually lose the facility altogether.

I believe you can now only fly to Manchester from Waterford; nice for those who want to attend matches at Old Trafford, but otherwise not much help to those who travel to and from other areas of UK.

An American guy who I work with turns around this morning and asks a few of us:

"I see they have a Food & Drink festival in Wexford, what's that like?"

A Latvian girl who I also work with replies:

"I hope it's not anything like the Kilmore Sea Food festival, a few stalls and no sea food"

I couldn't disagree with her assessment.

I'm starting to get slightly embarrassed every time my American work colleague starts asking me about local festivals.

He said to me a few weeks ago:

"We read about the Enniscorthy Strawberry Festival and were thinking about going down this year"

I cringed inside...

I sort of half arsed invited to Enniscorthy last week for the Paddy's Day Parade.. thank God the weather was shíte and they never turned up.. there's only so much novel Irish shíte you can show them.

A 48-year-old man has died in an industrial accident in Broomhill Fethard-on-Sea, Co Wexford.

May he RIP

GARDAI are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision earlier today.

She was taken by air Ambulance to Tallaght Hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

The incident happened at Coollishall Upper, Gorey, Co. Wexford, at approximately 10.30am.

The car she was driving collided head on with a 4x4 vehicle on the R772 between Gorey and Clough.

Judgement Day · 13-04-2013 11:43pm

Sorry to put a downer on things but I didn't recognise it as the place where I live.

WexfordWarrior · 14-04-2013 12:06am

Great video and the place looks really well... JD don't you live in inis cortaigh? That's why you don't recognise it. Wexford town is a great place, great restaurants, shops, pubs, clubs, music, entertainment, beaches, nature, the lot. I love living here again anyway after being away for a while. Needs some small tweeks, but its happening bit by bit.

The arrival of a 3rd level education system has been fantastic to the town and has brought more people to the area and great oppertunity for learning, business and more... The arrival of Eistech being point in case. They would have looked at the demographics and I'm sure the fact of a 3rd level college being here was a factor in their locating here. I'm sure of it.

Once the new roads are built that will also be a boost to the area and enniscorthy can capitalise on that as well.

Are you talking about Wexford Ireland or Wexford Pennsylvania?:rolleyes:

Cantona's Collars · 14-04-2013 10:08am

Lol,the comparison of the shots of Enniscorthy compared to Wexford Town,roughly ten people on the streets of Enniscorthy as usual compared to a bustling Wexford.

Nice pr video though,it'll probably do more to 'sell' the County as a place to set up a business than any of our TD's will.

lolli · 14-04-2013 11:39pm

There has been a serious rise in the amount of burglaries in the north wexford/south wicklow area lately. Three of my parents neighbours houses have been broken into the last few days. Today one of my neighbours houses have been broken into.

It's crazy we are losing gardai even though robberies are on the rise.

jpb1974 · 15-04-2013 10:29pm

I've a pain in me bollix with this s-hit weather...

vicwatson · 15-04-2013 11:49pm

LOL in that video above - "only 1 hour from Waterford Airport", yeh, and......? where the hell can you fly to? That's no incentive to start a business in Wexford anyway.

jpb1974 · 17-04-2013 7:47pm

Anyone else out there praying they still have a roof on their house tomorrow? Winds are brutal this evening.
