@phelan_mary Thanks for this Mary - I must give the programme a watch. If have more details DM me 😊

[Jessica O’Connor @JessOConnor__]

@Mozzer2015 Yes, I’m very aware of the section you’re referring to!! I can follow up for clarification, but it has already been said that the structure of the bridge isn’t compromised.

[Jessica O’Connor @JessOConnor__]

@Mozzer2015 Certainly doesn’t make for easy driving - something unnerving about a bridge that dips and turns 😬 but I still have every faith in Mr Hore to make sure it doesn’t fall down!! 😅

This announcement brought a great sense of relief to everyone at the Regional Health Forum meeting yesterday!! Great news for the south east. #Waterford #Wexford

Any #Wexford dodgy box users out there that got the dreaded letter from Sky that would be willing to speak to me completely anonymously? Would love to hear your thoughts & whether you intend to sign the agreement. DMs are open or email [email protected] 📺👀

Up there with one of the toughest pieces I’ve had to cover. The Wexford boarding school’s teachers have supported Páidí and corroborated his Tusla statement. He’s calling for anyone who is, or was, a victim of abuse to report it.

And yet another vape shop is opening its doors in #Wexford! Glad to hear Jodie is on the mend and thanks to her mam Rachel for sharing her story with me to create awareness for other parents.

Today is the 1st day of February but it is not the 1st day of Spring, well for the meteorological season at least. February is also often our best chance of snow in Ireland so let’s see how this month goes 😁
