William Cosgrave. Looking on from the seats were the grandparents Eamonn and Lil Murphy and Eileen Kirwan. Little Ella’s fourth grandparent, Sean’s Dad, John Kirwan is sadly deceased.

The Church ceremony concluded, everyone took the short journey to the nearby Monageer Tavern where the food had been prepared

Putting a mark on vacant houses T Wexford Gardaí have found a rather unique way of dealing with the problem of language difficulties they faced by the growing number of foreign national communities who have settled in the county.

Polish community interacted with the Gardaí and she specifically wanted to know if any members of the force had been trained with this in mind.

Well Garda boss John Roche has the answer. His force has a fluent Polish speaker among its ranks in Enniscorthy. However, this was not the result of night class attendance or indeed any strategic plan by the Garda authorities. The Garda concerned met and married a Polish lady and he now ticks

the Polish speaking box for the force.

And that’s not all. A member of the force in Wexford has a Romanian partner and he too is competent in that language and able to deal with members of the Romanian community who live here.

I’m waiting for the day when advertisements for Garda Recruits carry the message; having a Syrian girlfriend or boyfriend will provide the applicant with a distinct advantage!
