With the Local Elections looming this coming May, the runners in the race for the Enniscorthy Municipal District Council / Wexford County Council are lining up for what will be a fiercely fought battle. The Boundary Commission Report published last summer recommended that Enniscorthy and Kilmuckridge be amalgamated into a 10-seater District, however a Statutory Instrument issued in December stipulated that Kilmuckridge would be amalgamated with Gorey instead.

Gerald O’Donoghue from Davidstown will be running for the first time, representing Renua, and will also run in the next General Election. Well known campaigner on a range of local and national issues, Annette Byrne Moran (proprietor of Annette’s Flowers), is considering running also. With the reduced number of seats on offer, the coming months will be very interesting as the election campaign unfolds. n
