    why isnt there any lights underneath wexford bridge...surly they can afford to put a few uplighters underneath spread out accross the bridge...

    to have one of the longest bridges in ireland and no lights on it is a mystery! it would look the biz at nighttime...

    enniscorthy has them on it ..on the two bridges actually... why doesnt the capital of wexford have them ?

    NEEDS SORTING and will add to the general good feeling we have about our town and look well for visitors!

    Capital of Wexford ? The was only one Capital and that was The Capitol which closed in 84 as for the lights would that not be lke painting the firth bridge with upkeep and the like therefore just costing too much cash.

    yeah the capital of county wexford is wexford town... like it or lump it pal ! :)


    Wexford, the capital town of County Wexford is set in the heart of the sunny South-East of Ireland. This old and historic town beside the sea owes its origins and early development to Celtic and Viking influences and Norman settlements.

    any further questions on the back of a 50 euro note and send it to me at my personal address.... :p

    Irish Counties don't have capitals they have whats known as a County Town/County Seat.
