    Know how Wexford feels. But least ye had Yates and Howlin in recent enough times. They got the EPA and Dept of Agri HQ offices to Johnstown Castle.
    1979 since KK last had a Senior Minister. And boy does it show. It's sad but the sheep keep voting FF here so what can you do:confused:

    agreed. I work in Dublin now so wasn't about for the canvassing etc. From what I hear John Browne didn't even bother canvassing much this time but is still elected with his highest ever number of 1st choice votes. Unfortunately the biggest influence on people's voting preferences still appears to be the civil war.

    Department of Agriculture, EPA - this is the amazing fruit of having three ministers in the county??

    Another 5 years without investment - the usual Wexford them/us attitude which is absolute b******s.

    New Theatre Royal
    New Library
    New County Council Offices
    New Dept of the Environment HQ
    New trains to Rosslare + higher frequency
    New high quality road as far as Rosslare - phase 1 of the Gorey bypass to open next month

    ALL of which is going to happen in these forthcoming investmentless years

    And thats just public investment - surely the huge amount of private investment we've seen of late is just a knock on effect? Tesco, PFPC, Clonard Village, Keywest....

    Why do people seem to think we live in the most neglected, unfortunate corner of Ireland???!!

    The Department of Agriculture, EPA were down to the good work of Ivan Yates many years ago the last time we had a minister in power when we reeped rewards then. The heart of Enniscorthy and the whole area of Redmond Sq in Wexford were redeveloped before the time of the Celtic Tiger and I beleive that this was down to the politicans who were in place then.

    Its clear in this country that ministers look out for their own back yard. Look at Martin Cullen who is spending BILLIONS for Waterford. We had to put up with the worst bottle neck in the country for years, Gorey, until a few weeks ago. Ever try crossing the bridge in New Ross on the Friday evening??? Ahh sure a new theatre and library will do us.
    As for the train line....thats it, one rail line so trains can travel in only one direction at a time.

    I'd like to see big factories come into some of the IDA sites but I don't think we are going to see that in the near future
