IPAS speculation continues in Wexford as council says it can't assess wastewater capacity of potential sites
Wexford People With speculation continuing to mount that at least one new International Protection Accommodation Scheme (IPAS) centre is to be opened in the Wexford village of Killnick, the local council has said it can't assess the environmental impact of potentially 100 residents until they actually move in. Applications to turn both The Danby Lodge and The Moyglare Lodge into IPAS centres have already been submitted and there remains a degree of uncertainty regarding the purpose of ongoing works at Cooper's Inn. While the future use of Cooper's has yet to be confirmed, Councillor Frank Staples has asked that an environmental report be carried out at the premises to assess its wastewater capacity. However, at the May meeting of the Rosslare Municipal District (RMD) he was informed that such an assessment would be pointless until the building is back in use. 'Our inspector is going to have a look at it but because there's no actual incident (to investigate) I'm not sure if she's going to have very much to do,' said environmental engineer Rory O'Mahony. 'The inspector has said that because there isn't a failure issue there and because the premises isn't occupied, there's not an incident she can deal with.' Cllr Staples then confirmed that a planning application would be forthcoming from Cooper's Inn, to which Mr O'Mahony replied, 'It will have to go through the planning process first then.'

Here are 10 restaurants serving specials on Easter Sunday around Tacoma
Brunch is big business on Easter Sunday, and a number of Tacoma restaurants will offer special hours and menus on April 20. Gone are the days of the Lobster Shop buffet, but that waterfront destination will offer a celebratory prix-fixe this year in addition to its standard lunch menu — the only chance to snag a lobster roll. Nearby, Duke's Seafood House will serve the first of its only two brunch services all year. Elsewhere in town, Tacoma's champagne bar offers a family-style brunch, Primo will open early and Cooper's will surely fill up its spacious, covered and heated patio. One of the region's most popular brunch spots, Farm 12, is fully booked, but there are a couple other options in East Pierce. Here's a look at 10 restaurants around Tacoma, Puyallup and Gig Harbor serving up specials on Easter Sunday, listed in alphabetical order. Reservations are highly recommended. ▪ 1320 Broadway, Tacoma, 253-238-0199, ▪ Easter brunch hours: 7 a.m.-2 p.m. For an up-high meal with a view, head to Hotel Murano downtown for a special brunch menu at the in-house restaurant, Bite. Macrina Bakery pastries and housemade granola meet ciabatta breakfast sandwiches, Spanish-style omelets and a Dungeness crab frittata. Other highlights include a benedict and baked ham with Beecher's-laden potatoes au gratin. ▪ 113 E. Main, Puyallup, 253-845-0588, ▪ Easter brunch hours: 9 a.m.-3 p.m. ▪ Reservations: by phone This family-friendly restaurant in downtown Puyallup always offers brunch but on Easter will extend service by two hours. The menu includes all the hits, from benedicts and three-egg omelets to Belgian waffles and pancakes. Look to the lunch and dinner menu for other savory dishes like cauliflower wings, fish and chips, burgers and salads. ▪ 5928 N. 26th St., Tacoma, 253-503-0329, ▪ Easter brunch hours: 9 a.m.-4 p.m. ▪ Reservations: online via OpenTable or by phone Cooper's is always hoppin' for brunch, but it's likely to be especially so on Easter Sunday with a special menu including drinks inspired by popular candies. The Peep-tini, for instance, combines vodka and Bailey's with strawberry and marshmallow cream — topped, naturally, with a Peep, while the nonalcoholic Cadbury egg hot cocoa comes with chocolate eggs. To fill up, the day-of menu features caprese bites, chicken-fried steak, a BLT, a Cobb salad and more. ▪ 3227 Ruston Way, Tacoma, 253-752-5444, ▪ Standard hours: Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-11 p.m. ▪ Reservations: online or by phone Brunch comes but twice a year to this Ruston Way restaurant with a view — the other being Mother's Day. Enjoy the full lunch menu as well as a few specials, including a decadent lobster or Dungeness crab benedict, a 'lavish' lobster roll laced with a lemon-juiced mayo paired with sweet potato fries, and French toast. From the bar, now's the time for Duke's Famous Bloody Bloody Mary, spiked with vodka infused on-site with roasted garlic and onions, peppercorns and bell peppers, served with not one but two jumbo prawns. ▪ 1618 E. Main Ave, Puyallup, 253-845-5747, ▪ Easter brunch hours: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. ▪ Reservations: online for up to 12 people, by phone for up to 16 This Puyallup bistro, where the kitchen weaves Southwestern flavors through familiar vessels, will have quite a deal on Easter Sunday: $45 for a main and two sides per guest. Choices include a Spanish frittata with caramelized onions and gruyère, a spin on a croque monsieur with tomato jam and steak, and beer-battered halibut. Add rice, a salad, eggs or veggies. The menu also offers a hearty quinoa bowl, hash, fried rice and herbed mushroom pappardelle. There's also a short-but-notable kids menu with beef sliders and an egg-scramble rice bowl. ▪ 4015 Ruston Way, Tacoma 253-759-2165, ▪ Daily 11 a.m.-10 p.m. (Easter prix fixe served all-day Sunday) ▪ Reservations: online or by phone Lobster Shop, which doesn't typically offer brunch-specific dishes, will serve a special four-course prix fixe on Easter Sunday ($100 plus tax per person). It starts with an ahi tuna amuse-bouche and either a salad or cup of lobster bisque, then choose between an herby lamb with broccolini and roasted fingerlings or a surf-and-turf of filet and lobster tail with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Wrap with a light dessert of berries and fresh cream. In addition to a full bar, the Tacoma waterfront restaurant will serve its standard lunch (11 a.m.-3 p.m.) and dinner (3 p.m.-close) menus. ▪ 12 N. Tacoma Ave., Tacoma 253-720-1493, ▪ Easter brunch hours: 9 a.m.-4 p.m. ▪ Reservations: online or by phone Brunch is a weekly affair at this bubbly cocktail bar in the Stadium District, but hours are extended on Easter Sunday. The setup offers a $35-per-person family-style meal that begins with family-style apps (house biscuits, breakfast potatoes and arugula salad with burrata). Then each guest chooses a main, whether that's a waffle tower, breakfast tacos, smoked salmon and avocado toast, steak and eggs or a frittata. You also can order a few dishes a la carte (cinnamon roll to share?) and group drinks, like table-side bloodies and mimosas or a pitcher of brunch punch. ▪ 2701 6th Ave., Tacoma, 253-383-7000, ▪ Easter brunch hours: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. ▪ Reservations: online via Opentable or by phone Primo, which has new owners as of this year, will open for a special Sunday brunch service on Easter. Menu details are still being finalized, but expect the same commitment to local, seasonal cooking that feels familiar yet celebratory, as well as dessert. ▪ 115 E. 34th St., Tacoma, 253-473-7300, ▪ Easter Sunday hours: 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m. ▪ Reservations: online or by phone At this Northeast Tacoma mainstay, indulge in a $58 three-course feast, or stick with classic brunch dishes, also available on Easter Sunday. The prix fixe offers a choice of soup or salad and one of 11 mains, including crab and shrimp fettuccine, herbed prime rib, Dijon roasted chicken, a seafood trio with veggies and mashed potatoes, and almond-crusted scallops. Finish with cheesecake, key lime pie, flourless chocolate cake or crème brûlée. ▪ 5268 Point Fosdick Dr., Gig Harbor, 253-857-4777, ▪ Easter brunch hours: 10 a.m.-3 p.m. ▪ Reservations: online via Resy or by phone This spacious Gig Harbor restaurant will offer brunch favorites — corned beef hash, smoked salmon benedict, breakfast burrito, avocado toast — plus lunch-y items to share and have for yourself. There's charcuterie, salad, soup and fennel-laced Brussels with goat cheese, as well as mains like tagliatelle with pancetta, spicy Italian sausage and ricotta, and a vegan coconut curry. Celebrate with a mimosa flight (five flavors for $20 or three for $15), a bloody made with local Heritage Distilling vodka and an espresso martini.
