Wicklow Courthouse and extra parking need to be a priority to allow town flourish
In agreement Cllr John Snell said they were at a political disadvantage if only the chair and vice chair are elected to these teams, which allows them access to their meetings.
Currently the team's steering committee comprises the seven chairs of their working groups, a representative from Wicklow Town and District Chamber of Commerce, two elected members of Wicklow Municipal District and officials of Wicklow County Council.
In response Cllr Danny Alvey said the team will always welcome feedback and input from elected members in the district.
'Town teams are important entities that need more support. We are working closely with town regeneration officer Stephen Clarke to get a similar team set up in Rathdrum. Any other future teams will be set up subject to funding being made available.' he added.
The Wicklow Town Team which advocates in the town's best interests recently held a meeting with the Tánaiste Simon Harris looking for support to advance several projects.
Among the main issues raised was the long-vacant Wicklow Town Courthouse the lack of car parking spaces close to the town centre and the stalled progress of the East Coast Greenway.

Lebanese prosecutors appeal against sentences for private Seán Rooney murder
Prosecutors in Lebanon have formally lodged an appeal against the sentences handed down to those who were indicted for the murder of Private Seán Rooney, the Tánaiste has said. The appeals include the sentences handed down for the attempted killing of Trooper Shane Kearney, Corporal Joshua Phelan and Trooper Nathan Bryan. The main defendant at the military tribunal in Beirut was last month sentenced to death, but Simon Harris wrote to the Lebanese Government following the trial to express the disappointment of the Irish Government and in particular of the Rooney family at the leniency of the sentences handed down across the board. While capital punishment is a legal sanction in Lebanon, reports suggest there has been a moratorium on executions since 2004. The main defendant, Mohammad Ayyad, was absent from the proceedings as he was convicted at the military court last month, it is understood. Mr Harris met with Private Rooney's family last week and committed to "holding urgent talks with the Lebanese Justice and Defence Ministers in order to press for an appeal". Those talks took place on Tuesday, according to a statement, with Mr Harris telling Private Rooney's mother, Natasha McCloskey, that a number of steps have been taken. This include: - The appointment of a new military chief prosecutor who now will take over the case; - An appeal against the sentences being formally lodged with the military Cassation Court; - The Lebanese authorities committing to taking urgent steps to ensure the individual convicted of the murder of Private Rooney is taken into custody. Mr Harris said: 'I very much welcome the confirmation today from the Lebanese Justice and Defence Ministers that an appeal has been formally lodged against the sentences handed down in the case of the death of Private Seán Rooney and the injuries of his colleagues. 'I have this afternoon spoken with Seán's mother, Natasha, who I was pleased also to meet last week. 'In my calls with my Lebanese counterparts, I made it clear that the sentences handed down in this case are simply not acceptable and are very disappointing. 'They have caused great upset and insult to the Rooney family and everything must be done to ensure justice is served for Seán and his colleagues who were injured.' Pte Rooney, who was 24 and from Newtowncunningham, Co Donegal, was killed while on UN duty when the armoured vehicle he was driving from south Lebanon to Beirut came under fire in December 2022. Several others were injured in the attack.

Pictures: Farmers in good spirits at Tullamore Show
More than 60,000 people attended the Tullamore Show and FBD National Livestock Show — the largest one-day agricultural event in the country — which took place on the 250-acre Butterfield Estate in Blue Ball, Co Offaly, on Sunday. Warm dry weather conditions prevailed for the day, and farmers in attendance were in good form, bolstered by strong farm gate prices, favourable weather conditions and good grass growth. However, IFA president Francie Gorman said while people were upbeat, there were still concerns among farmers. 'CAP remains absolutely pivotal to the future of Irish livestock farming, which is why the proposed CAP reforms announced by the EU Commission last month cannot be allowed to become reality', he said. The quality of the stock on display here today is a testament to the investment that farmers have made and the pride they take in what they produce. The display at Tullamore Show today simply would not exist without dedicated funding for farmers. "Their efforts stretch well beyond the farm gate through the processing sector and onto our export profile. Any reduction in the CAP budget would have reverberations through the rural economy,' he said. Matthew and Pat King from Toomevara, Tipperary; at the Tullamore Show.

The show was officially opened by Tánaiste Simon Harris, who acknowledged the significant contribution agriculture makes to life in Ireland: 'In good times and in bad times, agriculture and farming keep this country going, keep the economy going and provide jobs and employment in every community across Ireland'.

It's not nice to support agriculture; it's not a useful thing to do, but it's absolutely essential. If the last number of months in terms of turbulence, trade and tariffs have taught us anything, it's the fact that we now more than ever should be supporting indigenous industry. The Fine Gael leader said the Government 'must back farming, back it to the hilt'. The Tánaiste said there were three big pieces of work to be done at European level. "There's CAP, there's Mercosur and, of course, there's a nitrates derogation," he said. "In the weeks ahead, we will be continuing to build alliances at a European level to make sure that any future EU budget has a well-funded and ring-fenced Common Agricultural Policy'.

EU says Ukraine must 'choose its destiny' as Trump to talk 'land swapping' with Putin in Alaska
EU LEADERS HAVE reaffirmed Ukraine's right to 'choose its own destiny' just days before US President Donald Trump is due to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. At an extraordinary meeting of European foreign ministers on Tuesday, which Tánaiste Simon Harris attended, leaders stressed that any 'just and lasting peace' must respect international law – including Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the principle that borders cannot be changed by force. Twenty-six EU leaders, excluding Hungary, also backed a joint statement calling for meaningful negotiations to take place only in the context of a ceasefire or a reduction in hostilities. The leaders also agreed that any diplomatic solution to protect both Ukrainian and European security interests. Speaking after the meeting, Harris said Europe must 'intensify its engagement' with the US ahead of Friday's talks. He said that while the war is fought on Ukrainian soil, 'it is also a war on the continent of Europe and against a country aspiring to join the European Union.' 'It was agreed that the EU will continue intensive engagement with the US and remain united in our unwavering support for Ukraine,' Harris said. Advertisement 'I am grateful to the Ukrainian Foreign Minister for briefing us ahead of this crucial meeting.' Trump has confirmed he will discuss 'land swapping' with Putin when they meet in Alaska on Friday for a high-stakes summit on the war in Ukraine, but voiced irritation at Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy for setting conditions on any such deal. Speaking at the White House yesterday, Trump criticised Zelenskyy's insistence that any peace agreement involving recognition of Russian control over occupied territory would need to be approved by a national referendum. 'I was a little bothered by the fact that Zelenskyy was saying I have to get constitutional approval,' Trump said. 'He has approval to go to war and kill everybody but he needs approval to do a land swap. Because there will be some land swapping going on. I know that through Russia and through conversations with everybody.' European diplomats have expressed alarm over Washington's lack of clarity on the specific territories Moscow is seeking and the terms of a potential ceasefire. Discrepancies in US accounts of Russia's demands have fuelled concerns that Trump, eager to emphasise his personal rapport with Putin, could agree to damaging concessions.
