There was a time the footpaths got maintained.
Another couple of years the path out the New Ross road will have been completely reclaimed by nature. It looks bad on an approach road if nothing else.

Here's a tale to annoy people. I was told this by someone who used to be on a CE scheme a couple of years ago. They were cleaning that stretch of road with a few others and they started to dig back the weeds and clear the path when a certain employee of the council drove past and came back to berate them and telling them to stop as that was his job and they'd ruin his overtime. The path was never maintained or kept clear since.

Think that's a derelict notice.

Saw some posters advertising the Rockin Food Festival on that horrible plastic sheeting where Murphy Floods used to be. I hope somebody does something soon to improve that area, the wasteland/old car park behind it is shocking, full of rubbish and graffiti!

Who owns it anyway? And why was the car park closed up? Ridiculous, in the middle of the town where people might actually use it!

The umbrellas on Slaney Street are still looking good, the nice weather helps. Will they be left to rot like the last time? Hopefully not.

Smyths extension in the old Dunnes Stores car park is a very slow build, no hurrying there.

Nearly got mown down by a low flying car on Weafer St this evening.

Anyone got any good news in Enniscorthy? I need some positive vibes lads

"The Antique Tavern" started doing food again last Monday and it's yummy, just as in the past. Everything freshly made while you wait - Breakfast menu below.

If you're a peasant like me and hanker after a simple ham and cheese toastie with zero adornments such as crisps, rabbit food and other decoration that too can be ordered. Sadly toasties with burnt-on polythene bags from under the grill are NOT available - don't even ask as a slap in the teeth may offend.



As regards Murphy Floods I think you need to take up with Anton Treacy in Templeshannon.

May not be a large number, but 15 new jobs (presumably skilled/professional/whatever) for Enniscorthy over the next 2 years seems like good news: https://www.breakingnews.ie/business/75-jobs-announced-for-dublin-and-wexford-852420.html

In other good news, the South East Animal Rescue shop on Slaney Street has been reprieved - for the time being - and will remain open for the rest of this year.

The Slaney is at the lowest level I've seen in years.
Time to get digging and take out the gravel banks.

They've literally just left... off to the next rural hiding spot I'd imagine. Its laughable, I know... but the total and utter lack of productivity must cost a fortune over the course of a year.

I hate getting caught behind 1 of the Councils " Laois Hire" vans/trucks driving along roads. I also hate getting caught behind the Vans that are driven by workers for St Johns and used to be St Senans hospitals. The vans have big ramps on the back doors. They bring food and other stuff from st johns to all the out houses around the county and they really take their time heading back to st jonhs.

I passed three sat on a bench eating ice creams at 10:20 this morning, were still there when I was coming back from the vets 45 mins later! I don't know how many mornings I've been held up because one of the vans stops in the middle of the road to have a chat with another worker on the path.

Yes there was, Blondie "Connors" on the dumper!!! Clouds of black smoke from the Petter single cylinder complete with "reconditioned" injector supplied by Tony Pepper. Those were the days. We used to overtake him on the bikes for the crack.. he thought it was a right laugh.

That's the logo, you're spot on there. I don't know about burger king tbh, I don't eat in those type of places. Any idea what the quality of the fuel is like? Hopefully it isn't that applegreen muck.

Don't eat much of it myself , just occasionally .
Be nice to have the option , although is it not a bit too far from the town centre to be viable ? (if it is going ahead there )

Haven't a clue , sorry .

Ordered a burger in Burger King a while ago,got a burger between two buns...nothing else.
Meanest thing I ever seen in my life.

I think the Mace garage in Bellfield are demolishing that house next door and expanding onto that site,maybe there's a "restaurant" going there.

If you think that's bad , I ordered a "Bic Mac with just tomato ketchup" ( I don't like cheese ,lettuce gherkins etc.) and got just a bun with ketchup .

No burger , nothing , just a bun with ketchup

Happened to me twice .

No Burger King at the Milehouse. Centra and Coffee shop alright.

The word is that there's gonna be a huge amount of houses built out that way soon.
