Wexford may be on the verge of huge jobs boost Confidence is growing that a major jobs announcement for Wexford town, involving a leading international company, will be made early in 2016. Intense efforts have been going on behind the scenes for months to secure what is seen as a ‘breakthrough’ company for the town as part of a plan to develop Wexford as a location for digital and
financial operators. While it is understood that nothing has been formally agreed yet and discussions with major companies are always sensitive and can go wrong at any time, no effort is being spared in the effort to land a project for the town early in 2016. A source close to the government told The
Chronicle that the matter was very sensitive but that several hundred jobs were involved. The effort is understood to involve a number of government agencies with Wexford Co. Council also playing a key role. There has been concern for some time that the lack of suitable quality office and commercial space in the town is hindering the effort to attract
blue chip technological companies. The proposed development at Trinity Street on the quayfront is planned to tackle some of this problem and is being designed to attract financial services to Wexford.

Co Wexford is gearing itself for months of massive pageantry and celebration as the countdown to the programme of events to mark the centenary of the Rising begins in earnest on New Year’s Day. It is now been predicted that the event will be a far bigger attraction than anyone anticipated with many people even cancelling their annual Christmas visit home to return the county instead at Easter time. And the event organisers are preparing themselves for a massive Easter Monday turnout out for the

celebrations and commemorations in Enniscorthy.. The event is part of the national commemoration. Enniscorthy District Manager Padraig O’Gorman has revealed that car parking is being organised as far from the town centre as the Mart on the Old Dublin Road in an effort to accommodate the crowds that are now expected. Apart from the ceremony itself there will be a wide variety of attractions along the riverbank including markets (more on page 3)
which provides the answer to the town’s immediate problem in terms of quality office space. Discussions have been going on for some time in respect of this state of the art building with a view to making it available to the private sector. It is understood that staff have been consulted in recent months about a planned
more from the Carricklawn location to Johnstown Castle where hundreds of publicl servants are already employed in the EPA and Department of Agriculture. The availability of this building is seen as an essential part of any drive to bring a high profile employer to the town.
