John’s finger is on the political pulse

John Roche, Enniscorthy resident, former Mayor of Wexford and former Cathaoirleach of Wexford Co. Council, may be retired from political life but he is still very much a political anorak – astutely following everything that’s happening around the county, and country, in the political, social and economic fields

His huge bank of experience and knowledge is being put to good use in his new talk show, Today’s World, broadcast on Wexford Music Radio, live from the Coast Hotel, Rosslare.

The first show went out on Tuesday 24th January at 5pm and featured a lengthy interview with Cllr Michael Sheehan, Cathaoirleach of the New Ross Municipal District.

Enjoy Enniscorthy, which officially launched on Friday 24th February, is all about Enniscorthy celebrating itself and all it has to offer, shouting its attributes from the rooftops (or from digital media platforms!) for all to hear.

This new town project aims at highlighting all the town’s unique treasures to a wider, more high-tech audience through the medium of Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Twitter, TikTok, Podcasts, etc.

Enjoy Enniscorthy has been set up by a hard-working committee consisting of Alan Quirke (Ireland South East Development Office), Ed Murphy (Invest Wexford), Dermot Kavanagh (Smyths Homevalue), Mico Hassett (Enniscorthy Castle and 1798 Centre), Angela Devitt (Riverside Park Hotel) and Frank Corcoran (Slaney News).

The day-to-day operation of the new premises at the bottom of Slaney Street, and the website and digital output are expertly managed by Neill Ikbal and his team at Enjoy Enniscorthy who are promoting, projecting, and propelling all that is positive, constructive, unique, fruitful, beneficial, and productive about Enniscorthy out into cyber space, so to speak. This is about Enniscorthy selling itself and will only succeed if we all buy into it and make it happen. This is not about sitting back and waiting for someone else to do something for us, this is about us doing it for ourselves with the help and expertise of the team at Enjoy Enniscorthy.

The Official Opening was attended by Minister James Browne TD, Paul Kehoe TD, Verona Murphy TD, Senator Malcolm Byrne, Chairman of Enniscorthy Municipal
