    Hello Everone
    I Travelled To Wexford Recently & Was Sad to see how the town had gotten so run down, The Buildings & Closed down shops are very deperessing.
    Would love to hear your opinions

    Wexford was always like that even before the recession. I don't know what's wrong with them.

    I travelled through it last year and thought it was very run down compared to when I stayed there in 2005. I remember staying at the nice "Quality Hotel" on the edge of town which had since been renamed a "Maldron Hotel" and it looked brutal on the outside when I passed by it last year.

    Wexford town is a lovely town. Sad to hear its suffering but there isn't a town in Ireland not going through a similar time.

    Landlords looking for too much money. It's the story of all towns in this country.
