Enniscorthy

LOL - games be going on with the ol' councillors. I love that they claim to have spent many hours researching before making a decision

I thought it was an entertaining post by Jackser, as is most of what he posts on Facebook. I think a 30 min trip to the dentist is the longest I've ever parked the car for down town... or when waiting for the young lad to get his haircut.

Just been for a walk down the prom. Absolutely disgusted at what I saw at the playground at the Riverside. What f**king pigs thought this was even remotely smart or funny?

Walked past it this morning myself, brain dead whoever did that.

It's just been pointed out to me that it's the wrong way round.... idiots!!! :rolleyes:

It's been like that for months.

Here's another part of the playground last April.

Agreed DM - very nice and helpful staff!

I was in TJ Murphy's for the first time last week,some difference compared to the dark hole that was Popovici's.
A nice pint in it too.

It's always snowing in Tosses!!

Something has to be done about the taxi situation in the town. I was out in town 3 nights over Christmas, one night I slept in the car until my father was awake the next morning (I was definitely not sober enough to drive home), and on 2 other occasions I walked along a country road as I could not get a taxi.
There was absolutely no way of getting a taxi home, if our town council and chamber of commerce (or whoever is responsible) want to improve the town as a place to go out, the starting point has to be a functioning taxi service.
I don't have all the answers, but it is a recipe for disaster for an already struggling town to have so many people hanging around it trying to get home.
How has it come to this for the town? Rant over.

You were taking a chance sleeping in your car, you can be done for drunk in charge of a motor vehicle. I don't have any answer regarding the cab situation but I do know it's impossible to get drivers as the entrance exam is very difficult. I'm talking about proper PSV drivers, not fellas driving around in a clapped out 16 year old transit on a dodgy D1 licence and an even dodgier insurance situation.

I think only if you are sitting in the drivers seat?

I get the point re the cab situation, but if it is impossible to get a taxi, the only loser will ultimately be the town. I am sure Enniscorthy is not unique in this regard, and many other small towns have a similar problem.

I have however heard stories about people not paying drivers, arguing over fares, etc, which probably does not help the situation.

Getting driven all over the county in a stinking transit for what should be a 15 minute drive doesn't help passengers nerves and leads to conflicts. Luckily I live in town and can walk home if they're very busy, I refuse to travel with a D1 driver that has no I.D. displayed.

Sleeping in the car can be very risky, some guards will leave you alone but many won't.

Hi. If your going out, knowing you will have a few drinks and taxis, hackneys and local bus services will not be available to bring you home. The obvious thing to do is organise your own lift with a family member, friend or neighbour
There were plenty of us waiting on the quays on pick up duty ... and glad to do it. It could be our turn next week ...

If only life were always so simple!! Now where is my butler to pick me up when I need him.

New phone accessories shop open at the bottom of Weafer Street.

There's a new notice on the door of The Old House, something to do with the regeneration project. I was driving by so couldn't get a good look.

This from Facebook. What are young people in Enniscorthy taught in school? Obviously not to respect their heritage? The '98 monument in the Mkt.Square is vandalised too and ignored by the powers that be.

Noticed a fella speeding up The Shannon and down Drumgoold on a quad yesterday evening circa 4:30pm... noticeably loud and fast.

Some would say that the local council are just as guilty regarding damaging Vinegar Hill as local "eejits"

Sadly though there is no battlefield protection law in Ireland

That notice has been there ages, its a derelict property notice

It's a new notice underneath that with a drawing on it.
