    Gorey is grand. Eventually, you might bump in to a Wexford person

    There's a couple more threads about schools etc. Gorey is thriving and a vibrant town with good schools and a 5 minute drive to the sea.Motorway pretty much the whole way to Dublin.

    Theres no doubt that since the motorway was upgraded and Gorey bypassed , it has done wonders for the town

    I visit the town just recently and noticed a significant number of folks which appeared to be abusing on some sort of substance. This was along the Main Street - Gorey centre. How common is this? Is drugs an issue in Gorey?

    Drugs is an issue in every town. Can't say I've seen them hanging about on Main Street but you see them alright.

    There's a good few junkies around the town alright, I see them a good bit congregating around the bus stop outside boylesports.
