Wexford TD James Browne has called for the National 1798 centre to remain open unless an alternative equivalent exhibition space in Enniscorthy is located.
Last week, Enniscorthy Municipal District Councillors learned that a sale has been negotiated for the National 1798 Rebellion Centre but it must first be passed by a full meeting of Wexford County Council.
“The decision to close the 1798 centre needs to be postponed. It appears the decision has been rushed with little consultation with County Councillors and the public. Enniscorthy has a rich history with many ties to the 1798 rebellion. Yesterday marked the 222nd anniversary of the Battle of Vinegar Hill in Enniscorthy.”
“The 1798 centre needs to remain open unless an alternative equivalent exhibition space can be found. One possibility is to find a location for a new centre in the Templeshannon area, which has been neglected in the past”,
Deputy Browne concluded.
