Martin joins in night of celebrations for ex-TD Browne They gathered in large numbers in Enniscorthy last Thursday night to pay tribute to former Dail Deputy, John Browne, who retired from politics just over a year ago at the general election in 2016. Browne represented the Wexford constituency for thirty four years first winning a seat in the November 1982 general election.

Camolin prepares for life after by-pass The village of Camolin is one of a number of locations which will be transformed when the extension of the M11 is opened in two years. Over the last two months Wexford County Council has been working with representatives from a wide range of community groups in the village and surrounding area to prepare ambitious plans for Camolin.. The Camolin Village Enhancement Scheme is a response by the local community, in conjunction
with Wexford County Council, to the challenges of the impending Enniscorthy Bypass and its possible effect on Camolin and surrounding area. The Scheme seeks to address these challenges by developing facilities and amenities that will enhance the attractiveness of the village, thereby benefiting the local community and encouraging more visitors into Camolin. Ideas put forward to date include a new picnic area, walled garden, attractive vil-
lage planting schemes, a new recreation area by the River Bann, walking track and a notice board for community activities. The children from Camolin National School have also embraced the opportunity to design new features for their village through participating in an art competition. Members of the public gathered in the local Parish Hall last week to hear an update on the proposals so far and to put their own views forward.

Apart from his service as a TD, Browne was also a Minister of State in a number of departments during his time in the Dail where he served under five party leaders going all the way back to Charles Haughey. Browne first entered politics in 1979 when he won seats on Enniscorthy Urban Council and Wexford Co. Council When he won his Dail seat he re-
placed his retiring uncle Sean Browne and last year the Browne family tradition was maintained when John’s son James was elected to the Dail.
