Ger departs as town manager

Enniscorthy has a new town and district manager – Ms Claire Lawless, who has taken over from Mr Ger Mackey following his move to the housing department of Wexford Co. Council – perhaps a case of ‘out of the frying pan and into the fire’ for Mr Mackey as housing is obviously one of the major issues facing the country nationally and Wexford Co. Council locally.

Ms Lawless has plenty of suitable experience for her new role in Enniscorthy having been the manager of Arklow town and district for the last four years.

Enniscorthy's Senior Executive Engineer, Tadhg O'Corcora, has also now retired and his expertise and experience will be difficult to replace.

The Slaney News always found both Mr Mackey and Mr O'Corcora a pleasure to deal with over the years and we wish them both well for the future.

Our photo, which we took at the January meeting of Enniscorthy Municipal District, shows Mr Mackey (second from left) and Mr O'Corcora (second from right) with some of the town's Councillors. n
