BREAKING NEWS
Wexford County Council have announced that essential repairs to old bridge at Enniscorthy will take place from 8.30 am until 5 pm. Tomorrow (Wednesday). No footpath access and expect delays at peak times although bridge will be open to traffic.

An investigation is under way after substantial structural damage occurred to the 300 year old stone bridge carrying traffic on the N11 across the River Slaney at Enniscorthy.
It is understood that a vehicle collided with the parapet in the early hours of Sunday morning and the occupant fled the scene on foot.
Parts of the parapet has been broken through while long cracks are visible along the stonework on the outside wall.
Extensive restoration work will be required to return the bridge to modern safety standards.
Part of the footpath is closed off for safety reasons, however, traffic continues to use the bridge which is busy at all times.
Enniscorthy Bridge is one of the oldest bridges of its kind in the country and was built in 1680, but was lowered and widened in 1837.
Following the worst flooding in generations in November 1965 consideration was given to ‘blowing up’ the bridge and replacing it, but the plan never materialised!
A few years ago it was re-named the William Barker Bridge after a hero from the Battle of Vinegar Hill in 1798.
