Take care on the #Wexford ring road between Whitford and Rosslare roundabouts. Car having some significant mechanical issues and smoke billowing out everywhere. 🙈

Front page of a slightly new look #Wexford People this week. There’s been further developments in the wake of a vicious assault on an 18 year-old and tensions are running quite high. 😬

A bus has broken down near the Clonard Church roundabout in #Wexford town and traffic is very heavy in the area. Might be worth avoiding if you can.

Hoping to do a bit of post match analysis & chat with Jason McAteer & Co on LFCTV immediately after the Spurs v Liverpool game tonight. Representing the #Wexford Branch Liverpool Supporters Club. Hopefully will be chatting about a win. Up the reds! 💪🏻 #LFC #CarabaoCup

A bit more focused on the new addition to our little family as 2024 comes to an end, but just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone who got in touch, sent on tips or told their stories during the year. Wishing you & yours all the very best for 2025. #Wexford 🥳 🍾

I’ll be off the grid for a while as I take as much time as I can to get to know our second daughter. 🥰 A huge thank you to the staff in maternity department at #Wexford General Hospital. They were just amazing once again. 🙏 👶

What would Christmas be without a trip to Tony Fitzpatrick’s Christmas House in #Wexford!? He’s been accumulating thousands of lights for his display for 29 years now. Magical. ❤️🎅🏼

Seems like this must be a serious crash near the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Bridge. Road to remain closed overnight. #Wexford
