Wexford Creamery has teamed up with Largo Foods to produce 'King Gold Standard Wexford Cheddar and Spring Onion Crisps', which I will be watching for!

They are already out in the shops - Gold Bag ! They are handmade crisps and are retailing at 0.95 cent per bag nice though

Looking forward to getting a bag of them now just to see what they're like. Although then again, cheese and onion is cheese and onion.

Those Gardai have done a fine job with this case........see how neatly they've lined up all those drinks.

Perhaps that's why they haven't had the time to catch some real criminals.

Losing 28 staff to retirement



WEXFORD County Council is losing 28 staff on early retirement but services will be maintained, the County Manager Eddie Breen has vowed.


'It would be foolish to say you can lose these people and they won't be missed.


'Of course, they will be missed,' the manager told Cllr Malcolm Byrne at a council meeting.

I'm sure we'll get over it.....

[Judgement Day]

Enniscorthy Guardian 28th February contained little of interest.

New Dad jailed for gun in gym bag - on the Promenade in Enniscorthy.

400 protesters march against taxes.

A really famous visitor - the Heineken Cup was on tour and called in to Riverchapel NS last week. Enjoy it while you can as it will be going home to Munster shortly.

Castle to host ICA exhibition to be attended by Govt.Chief Whip - Paul Kehoe - a notable old woman IMO. Wine and Cheese reception on Friday 2nd March - protesters please note! Despite the ICA being founded by a close family relation I will be passing on this one unless I turn up to boo Paulie.

Anyway that's all the news - save for a goat having a record five kids at the Secret Valley Adventure Farm last Friday - I kid you not!

FFS, you would swear they were making their communion the way they are standing there. Useless gits.

They were called 'professional agitators '

Hey Ledger .. Put a reminder in your calendar for a celebration party on 30th September .( 2 chances of completion in 6 months )

Creywell (College Rd) due to reopen in April

April in what year ?

Works on the clock tower over the Tholsel are going well with a new clock face and repairs and installation of bells inside the mechanism

And the total cost to the taxpayer is €€,€€€€

Cllr. Kevin Dwyer, who is currently working in Australia due to lack of work here, has gotten approval from NRTC to keep his council seat for 1 year

Unbelievable .......I heard he is going on Skype to attend Council meetings

An investigation into the Albatros site is due to get underway after it was announced to be in line to be put onto the Derelict Sites Register

Full of hazardous materials ... will be derelict forever

school tours in the area

New Ross area needs a massive cash injection ..........Go visit JFK Aboreteum - Dunbrody Centre - Hook Lighthouse - Secret Valley Adventure Farm .

[Ledger]

I saw that yeah.

Hey Ledger .. Put a reminder in your calendar for a celebration party on 30th September .( 2 chances of completion in 6 months )

It must be some good job if it would take 6 months. Jesus H Christ.

April in what year ?

I'll guess May 2012.

And the total cost to the taxpayer is €€,€€€€

Did anyone complain that the clock wasn't working? I doubt it.

Unbelievable .......I heard he is going on Skype to attend Council meetings

Kevin is my cousin's partner, and I have great time for him. I know he's not here and it isn't really the greatest set up, but at least he's making the effort to still have an input and is doing his bit for the town.

Full of hazardous materials ... will be derelict forever.

I know, nobody is going to spend millions to dig up 20 feet of the earth to clear the site, certainly not Timac. I would nearly feel sorry for them, thinking they would make a profit by developing the site. They must have known what they were getting themselves in for. We'll be stuck with this for generations.
