Councillors face being kept in the dark about the position of people on the local authority housing list and the identity of those who are allocated houses next year when Data Protection legislation enacted to comply with European Law comes in to force.

There was a furious reaction from council members when news of the proposed Data protection proposals were announced at the December meeting of the Council.

County Secretary Pat Collins revealed that in future the Council could only communicate in-

formation to councillors who had made written representations on behalf of an individual and could not provide the names of people who had been allocated houses, or the state of the housing list, across the board.

Cllr. Ger Carthy said the role of the Co. Councillor was being continually undermined and he said it had gone beyond a joke.

Cllr. Paddy Kavanagh, strongly attacking the move, said a situation could arise where someone in a locality could be located a house, family, friends and neighbours would be aware of the personFs identity but the

local councillor would be kept in the dark.

GWhatFs the big deal about providing the names of people who have been allocated houses?F asked Cllr. Johnny Mythen.

Cllr. Larry OFBrien said councillors were the most important people when they were being asked to increase Local Property Tax or Commercial Rates but irrelevant when it came to providing information.

And he said every single piece of information about him over the past two decades was available to the public, his address, telephone number, his ex-

penses and everything else.

Cllr. Barbara Ann Murphy said the way things were going councillors would soon be barred from having access to the electoral register.

Council Chief Executive Tom Enright said the change in Data Protection was the law and would not just affect the Co. Council but every organisation.

Councillors have sent a motion opposing the interpretation of the legislation to the Data Protection Commissioner and have sought the support of every Co. Council in the country in their battle against the move.

Efforts to have a warning sign in place to warn motorists of a new round-about at Kilmore have to date proven unsuccessful, despite the fact that members of the local Municipal District Council agreed that such a sign should be erected.

Cllr Ger Carthy who initially raised the issue a month ago was less than impressed that the decision of the Council had not been acted upon and he said that if the decisions of councillors were not to be imple-

mented they would have to seek monthly reports on the progress of all matters they had decided at previous meetings.

While engineer Lar Lett said there had been consultations with local and the Council was looking at a permanent sign in the area Cllr. Carthy was not satisfied. The problem which had been raised related to the need for a sign to warn people of the new road layout but that had not been addressed, he said.

There was particular an-

Most of the parents present had children who were well over 100 on the waiting lists for CBS and St Peters College. Some informed the meeting that they had no offer at all from the schools that they had applied to.

Deputy James Browne agreed to organise a meeting with the Minister for Education as early as possible to to enable parents to highlight their concerns..

On the wider educational issues in the area Cllr. McDonald expressed her concern and frustration over the low levels of progression to Third level achieved by students from Wexford and she said she was appalled that Wexford was constantly highlighted as a blackspot in national surveys on education and employment.

The author scrutinizes social attitudes to these settlers and reassesses their unique contribution to the social and cultural life of the county.

The story of these hard-working people is one of struggle, challenge and success as they carved out new lives for their families despite an unwelcoming environment. Today names like Poole, Hartrick, Hornick, Rhynhart, Rapple, Switzer, Jekyll, Hess, Gunnip, and Wyse are all familiar, respected and well-known names throughout Co. Wexford.

The Palatines were noted for their innovation in farming and

industry. In business dealings, integrity and honesty were their hallmark. They worked primarily as farmers and quickly joined the merchant class, and were also involved in shipping. A number had excellent reputation as whitesmiths. The Palatines developed many familiar farming practices throughout the county and helped County Wexford achieve the name the Model County with their industry and innovation.

The quality full colour hardback book is available in most bookshops and the Irish National Heritage Park.

Yes, it is a closely guarded secret, but Enniscorthy has had an underground service since 1872!

During the recent Strategic Economic Investment Programme presentation at the Riverside Park Hotel, Tony Larkin, Director of Services, Wexford County Council, was faced with a query from the audience expressing concerns about the impact of the closure of the Dublin-Rosslare railway service. bWeFve been very strong on the view that the rail line canFt be allowed to close,c said Mr Larkin, who added that the Council has been lobbying at the highest level.

Apparently, Wexford County Council has suggested to Irish Rail that the line from Wexford would terminate at Bray Station, and from there the DART ser-

vice would oblige.

It is a sensible and workable means of keeping the line active, but there are other matters that need to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

The Dunbrody Archers and the Chairman of New Ross Council, Willie Fitzharris, will participate in the ceremony. The age-old tradition dates back to 1687 when the Mayor and the corporation of New Ross Town Council claimed their authority over the Tower and waters by travelling to the point of the Hook and shooting an arrow into the sea from Hook Head Lighthouse. On New YearFs Day 2018 The Dunbrody Archers will as-

sist the Mayor of New Ross in an Garrow ceremonyF. The Mayor will cast an arrow into the sea symbolising the Ports authority over the estuary.

Members of the public are invited to come and watch the free historical event at 3 pm on New YearFs Day. Commenting on the upcoming event, Ann Waters Manager at Hook Lighthouse said, bWe are delighted to host the GTaking of the WatersF ceremony here at Hook Lighthouse, itFs an age-old tradition and a wonderful opportunity for an ancient element of history to continue to be relived here annually in IrelandFs Ancient East.c

wo years after suffering serious ill health the Sinn Fein Councillor, Anthony Kelly, has stepped down from Wexford Co. Council. llr. Kelly suffered a stroke in early 2016 and despite being critically ill for a time fought back to retake his seat on the local authority. However, the lasting effects of his illness put a severe strain on the Wexford town man as he tackled the huge workload associated with being a councillor in the modern era.

Cllr. Kelly informed colleagues of his intention to step down at the annual Budget meeting of the Council. While sad to

leave he said that given his illness he believed it was the right decision and he thanked his colleagues for their support.

Cllr. Kelly will be replaced on the Council by Thomas Ford.

There were widespread and warm tributes to Cllr. Kelly who was *%/!$&1&2!&)$!3$K&L+3%)$=3%3'4"$ Council in 1999.

Cllr. George Lawlor praised his passion for the development of Wexford and said Cllr Kelly never had any self-interest but was always focused on the best interests of Wexford and the wider community. Given the health issues which he had faced Cllr.

Lawlor said he fully understood

Weighbridge Forcing Hauliers Away From Rosslare

T

he location of the Co. Council vehicle weighbridge at the N25/N11 roundabout is proving a big problem for business through Rosslare Europort.

Cllr Larry OFBrien told a meeting of the Co. Council that some hauliers had given up using Rosslare and moved instead to Dublin because of the number of times their vehicles had been taken into the weighbridge at Newtown for checking.

The Fine Gael councillor said hauliers were a Gsitting duckF because of the convenient location of the weighbridge on the direct route to port and he questioned why so many vehicles were be-

ing inspected.

Cllr. OFBrien said the delays associated with the checking often meant that trucks missed their ferries resulting in huge losses.

As a result come companies were no longer prepared to use Rosslare, he claimed.

Cllr. OFBrien was told the Council was legally obliged to provide a weighbridge but had no function in its operation.

While stressing that he supported safety checks he said the operation of the weighbridge and the frequency of checks coupled with the disruption which they were causing needed to be examined by the Road Safety Authority.

While some public conveniences will be maintained the possibility of reaching an arrangement with the owners of businesses which would see them making their toilets available for public use is being consider

why Cllr. Kelly had taken the decision to stand down.

Fine GaelFs Paddy Kavanagh described Cllr. Kelly as a gentleman and said it had been a pleasure to have served with him. He said debates could be robust but there was never a grudge held and he urged Cllr Kelly to Glook after yourselfF Cllr. Johnny Mythen said it was a very sad day particularly for AnthonyFs colleagues in Sinn Fein.

The CouncilFs Chief Executive, Tom Enright, said Anthony would be a big loss to the Council and he pointed out that the staff at the Cllr. Anthony Kelly congratulates Thomas Forde, the man who will succeed him on Wexford Co. Council.

ine Gael has come up with an interesting, and long overdue, proposal in respect of rural transport. Local Ministers Michael DFArcy and Paul Kehoe were out announcing the news last week that the party has got the support of transport Minister Shane Ross to go to the National Transport Authority to seek approval for the extension of some rural transport routes to provide a night time service at weekends.

Both men are at pains to point out that the idea has nothing to do with legislation on drunk driving but the idea no doubt got a bit of a kick start following the rumpus which arose around thehave recent Wexford Gardaí foundofa rather unique way of tightening the law on alcodealing with the problem of hol related driving. language difficulties they Those proposals sparked faced by the growing number lot of debate in rural areas with of foreign national

suggestions that the mandatory bans for all detected driving above the alcohol limit would increase rural isolation and the like.

Many suggested at the time that the way forward was not to allow people drink and drive but instead to put some rural transport infrastructure in place to enable people get to and from places of social activity and entertainment...

This latest proposal, which hopefully will be introduced on a trial basis, seems to do just that. Three existing routes in Co.

CF%$T$,)!EF T he political system suffered a bit of a shock when it appeared that the country was travelling like a runaway car towards a general election recently. In the event calm was restored and some commentators are now suggesting that the improved relationship between Micheal Martin and Leo Varadkar could provide the foundation to ensure that the present government lasts into 2019.

They may be right but not many who think they have a chance of winning seats in the next Dail will be taking any chances.

Already there has been a fair bit of activity on the political front locally. Johnny Mythen has been selected by Sinn Fein to run again following his near miss in 2016, Fine Gael rushed their convention at the height of the crises to get the outgoing Ministers DFArcy and Kehoe back on the ticket and Lisa McDonald has an-

nounced her intention to seek a Fianna Fail nomination.

And at ground level there has been activity too with Michael DFArcy having a very comprehensive tax, welfare and grants document delivered to every home in Wexford town.

Not only did the document highlight all the good things that the government were doing in terms of reducing tax and increasing welfare but it also placed an emphasis on his work in the Wexford area and his connection with local Fine Gael councillors Jim Moore and Frank Staples.

And Lisa McDonald has 5&&($ 5'/,$ %#./.(4$ "&%$ ;%3*1&$ with a well-publicised meeting on education and school places problems in Wexford which was attended the by the Fianna Fail spokesman on Education Thomas Byrne.

Chief Executive Tom Enright was able to tell the budget meeting that the response to those presentations was positive with many emails being received which were supportive of the

CouncilFs ambitious and comprehensive economic plans.

New Ross councillor Anthony Connick was not meeting the same traders. While individual amounts might seem small, on top of other costs they could be the straw that broke the camelFs back for some businesses, he warned. and as a result he would not be supporting the budget.

Robbie Ireton, the Gorey councillor who has been a longtime critic of the low level of rates in New Ross, was not impressed. The increase would represent the cost of two pints of beer per week in New Ross and just a single pint per week in Enniscorthy.

How could any business not afford that, he wondered throwing his eyes to the heavens.

Davy Hynes, the Wexford councillor, was a bit more sympathetic to the plight of businesses on Barrowside. At the core of the problem was the abolition of Town Councils he asserted and that decision was a disgrace.

Davy often harks back to the time when the Town Councils reigned supreme in urban areas. It was a time when the local councillor knew who to talk to when they wanted a pot-hole

Now itFs all being controlled by the big bad County Hall. The people in Co. Hall may have their machinery plugged in to the economic heartbeat of the county, but do they have their *(4&%/$3($!"&$;'1/&N Not according to Davy. Perhaps a course in First Aid might provide a solution.

But then again maybe it would not because another man who had a fondness for the old urban authorities, Anthony Kelly, has diagnosed a different problem. It was all the fault of an elephant, according to Anthony.

That Gelephant in the roomF was the lack of adequate funding from central government. If only the government provided enough cash for everything the councillors wouldnFt have to be putting up commercial rates, or for that matter property tax.

Chief Executive Tom Enright is a man who likes to do his homework before putting proposals like these before councillors and his recent roadshow was

part of that homework.

Unemployment levels are simply too high in Wexford and far too many people have to travel outside the county to *()$ 63%-9$ "&$ 5&1.&<&/9$ #()$ "./$ message is simple. If it is to be solved we have to come up with the solutions ourselves, there is no point in waiting for someone to ride in on a White Horse with a magic formula.

That is why the Council is taking the initiative. Financial Services Centres, Digital Hubs and the like will be built in the towns to provide the infrastructure capable of attracting the type of industry that can provide high end employment in the county into the future.

TomFs carefully crafted message and precise delivery has helped convince large sections of the business community that he is on the right path. So convinced are they that the vast majority of them have no real problem digging a little deeper to pay increased commercial rates next year.

Convinced too were the vast bulk of councillors.

In the event the rate increase was approved by 27 votes to 4, Anthony Connick was against

because he is from New Ross, Davy Hynes was against because the increase will not bring back the Town Councils, Tony Walsh was against because Peo;1&$=&+3%&$8%3*!$#16#,/$!&()$!3$ be against increases and Lisa McDonald was against because she is singing off a completely different hymn-sheet to the Council Executive at the moment.

Will the plan work and will the extra cash help transform the countyFs economic fate into the future? No one knows for certain. However, Tom Enright did make an interesting point in relation to keeping commercial rates low.

The two towns in Co. Wexford where that policy was pursued over the decades were New Ross and Enniscorthy. They are also the towns facing the greatest economic and commercial challenges at the moment.

Meanwhile, in New Ross the pubs are likely to see a little dip in trade as local rate payers have to forego a few pints per week to help foot the bill for better economic days ahead all over the county.

Council from next year.

The ambitious programme of upgrades, replacements and new lights will be funded as part of the CouncilFs budget and through borrowings.

A key objective of the new plan will be to light up areas on the outskirts of towns and villages near where housing schemes were built over the years.

they were in the best locations and they wanted to move away from the provision of once off lights in an unplanned way.

The lights upgrade is a multi-million euro proposal and Cllr. Robbie Ireton said it was great to see that eco-friendly bulbs were to be used on the network.

However, there was a note of concern from Cllr. John Fleming. He said he had raised the issue before of the poor

When a fault was reported there was generally no indication of when the problem would be dealt with and he believed this was not good enough.

Cllr. Johnny Mythen asked how long the current contract had to run and suggested that all aspects of its operation be reviewed before any renewal.

He was told that the lighting maintenance contract was for one year.

verywhere Christmas appears to arrive earlier each year. The 8th of December traditionally marked the start of the Christmas rush but those

Arts Officer has ambitious plans for the county Co. Council and the Mayor of the Wexford Borough District, Jim Moore, described it as a ‘very ambitious plan’ while Cllr. Malcolm Byrne said that with Ms Burns enthusiasm behind it the plan would not be left to gather dust.

Cllr. George Lawlor said that various groups staging performances on a regular basis around the county should be given greater priority. He cited the example of the Wexford Light Opera Society which staged a production costing €100,000 annually

without any support from the local authority.

Cllr. Davy Hynes said the lack of an Arts Officer in the county during the recession had an adverse impact on the development of the sector and he welcomed the new plan.

There was support for the plan too from Chief Executive, Tom Enright, who described it as an ‘excellent document’ and Chairman John Hegarty, who said the ‘energy and enthusiasm’ of the Arts Officer would make the difference in ensuring that this plan was delivered.

After a year in her job the Co. Wexford Arts Officer Liz Burns has presented a comprehensive new plan for the development of the arts in county Wexford.

Despite the plan being ambitious and the fact that impressive plans presented for other areas in the past have failed to live up to expectations councillors believe that things will be different with this plan mainly because of the drive and ambition of Ms Burns herself.

The blueprint was presented to the October meeting of the
