They tried to do simliar in Gimont years ago,it was wrecked.We have playing pitches all over town,a waste of money adding more.

I'm from that side of town and I even think a park is a bad idea,it'll be a magnet for antisocial behaviour.

When Gimont ave was built in the 80s they also built Tennis/Basketball courts beside the eststes. Within 5 months the nets were gone and within a year the outer fencing was taken off all the courts and used to make dog runs.

The security fencing when they were building Cluain Dara didn't last long either.

Speaking of antisocial behaviour,I see the Roma have been moved from the Abbey Centre to Parkton,that's a nice development now ruined.

I was told during the week that some men from Romanian community in town payed them a visit and they were told to either move out of the Abbey centre or clean up the mess and stop standing around in groups outside the apartments as they are giving the Romanian community in town a bad name.

I heard it was that the apartments were in trouble with the Health & Safety people. As an aside, what percentage of the population of Enniscorthy is now non-national?

Big car crash on the Ross Road there a short while ago.

Romainian Community or Roma Community Nav?

There's Romanians living locally who work and contribute to the community,they despise the Roma and are fed up with being tarred with the same brush as them.
As Navarre said,they had words with the Roma about their carry on.

Del.Monte · 22-06-2015 10:08pm

Whatever, but it was the Fire Officer that cleared the apartments not Romanians!

Filling the place up with car parts and junk might constitute a fire hazard.
It might sound bad but I'd prefer if Ryanair cleared them and put the Romas on a plane home.
Prostitution,shoplifting,burglary and muggings are not contributions to the town that we need.

Cantona's Collars · 25-06-2015 1:35pm

Paul Kehoe namechecked Dunnes' Rafter St. premises in a Dail debate on the new Urban Regeneration bill.The bill is to penalise companies like Dunnes who leave empty units in towns and refuse to allow anyone else move in and create dead zones.

vicwatson · 25-06-2015 2:16pm

Huh? Paul Kehoe spoke in the dail? Usually only see him/hear from him around election time or when the St Patricks day holiday list comes out, and he's usually top of it.

Nah,do you read the court reports? The N11 is the thieves highway-a bit of robbing and home for breakfast in Dublin.

Well the Strawberry Fest/Literary weekend was a load of shite.The All Ireland Farmers Market was more like a glorified field day.If you walked through the town centre,you wouldn't even know anything was on.
To think how optimistic we were when the likes of The Coronas etc. played in the town,now we didn't even manage to get Richie Kavanagh.

Cantona's Collars · 30-06-2015 3:41pm

25% off everything in Aldi,don't anybody say we don't have positive stuff in this thread.

Del.Monte · 01-07-2015 7:31pm

White's on the Market Square is being converted into an Italian Coffee shop.

Cantona's Collars · 02-07-2015 1:41pm

I suppose it fills an empty unit but in the space of 200 yards we'll have 4 or 5 options for having a coffee,the problem is that the footfall isn't there to sustain so many.

The Farmer's Market in Abbey Square on Saturdays? Possibly the Country Market in the IFA Centre on Fridays.

For anyone who was or is into WWF/WWE wrestling, Shawn "The Heartbreak Kid" Michaels is in Enniscorthy helping out with the "Superkids" Camp in the Astro Active Centre.

Does anyone know an independent BMW mechanic around Enniscorthy?. I'm trying to avoid expensive dealer if possible.

Kenny appears to be back in business.

Rumours that Abra is to open again in the Square.

Spent Saturday morning in the town centre ,and did some shopping too .:)

Parked on Irish St. and found lots of cafes / restaurants , in the main areas especially with tables / chairs out for customers .

Place was looking well ,clean / tidy with lots of hanging baskets out .

Left Irish St after an hour to go to Templeshannon for a few minutes , and it was written on the parking ticket that we could not return to the same parking area for at least an hour .

Whats that about ,cos we wanted to go back and shop in Dunnes , but after seeing this on the ticket we left town .

Del.Monte · 13-07-2015 8:37am

@ allthedoyles

I know that you like to see things in a positive light but I don't recognise your description of the town. Incidentally, why didn't you park in Dunnes carpark?

Don't know Enniscorthy very well, and we were meeting a person that lives on Irish St. so parked there .

I liked the place but there is certainly a lack of retail shops in the main streets , but I got that tourism buzz off it ,a bit like Kinsale .:)

Maybe its because we too used to our own town New Ross
