Planning sought for new motorhome park in New Ross
The application was submitted on Wednesday, April 30, and seeks permission for a modern 23-bay motorhome park with drinking water, sewerage, and waste facilities, along with lighting, landscaping, controlled access, and ancillary works.
The proposed site is close to the Oaklands Roundabout, directly opposite New Ross Garda Station, which will 'offer oversight and security', according to the application. Meanwhile, both entrances – the main entrance and a second entrance for pedestrian access at the rear of the park – will be restricted by coded access.
Also to the rear of the park, is an open-sided stretch tent for a seating and dining area. Each individual plot size is approximately 120 metres-squared and has access to potable water, electric supply and WiFi. Each area will also have a picnic table and barbeque unit.
A screening report carried out by SWC Promotions found that the proposed development is 'unlikely to adversely impact' both the conservation objectives and the integrity of the River Barrow and River Nore Natura 2000.
Submissions or observations with respect to the proposed development, may be made in writing on or before Wednesday, June 11 to the Planning Department of Wexford County Council.

Ambassador's visit to New Ross strengthens Moroccan ties
The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to Ireland, H.E. Dr. Lahcen Mahroui paid a visit to all corners of the town alongside the Ceann Comhairle, Verona Murphy TD and Wexford County Council Director of Services, Eamonn Hore, as they followed the lead of history buff and dedicated New Ross tour guide, Myles Courtney. Mr Courtney said 'it was indeed an honour' to introduce the Ambassador to the history of New Ross, while he also shared with them the historic connections of the port with Mediterranean mariners. 'The walled city of Essaouira indeed has a lot in common with the medieval Norman walled town of New Ross,' he added. A spokesperson for the Ambassador said the tour, which included several historic sites such as the Dunbrody Famine Ship and The Ros Tapestry in its new home on the Quay, highlighted 'the rich cultural heritage of the region.' 'Fruitful discussions took place on ways to further strengthen the relationship between the Kingdom of Morocco and Ireland. A particular focus was placed on exploring avenues for deeper cooperation between the towns of New Ross and Essaouira, with the aim of building a new bridge of friendship and collaboration for the benefit of their respective communities,' they added. Meanwhile, Deputy Murphy shared on her social media that Mr Courtney's guided tour was 'superb' and exchanges were both 'insightful and inspiring throughout the visit.' She extended her gratitude to Mr Hore and Mr Connick for facilitating the visit, which is intended to create 'cooperation and friendship… strengthening cultural and economic ties for years to come.'
