Monday 17th June 2013. Possibly of interest to locals and those who are currently or who intend to visit our area. ------------------------------ Since I came to my adopted town New Ross Co Wexford in this Sunny South East of Ireland The town has come on in leaps and bounds with excellent facilities for locals and holiday makers alike.
