Wexford County Council members have responded favourably to a request, pursuant to Section 183 of the Local Government Act 2001, to the Council’s intention to sell a long-term leasehold interest in two sites at Enniscorthy Technology Park on the old St. Senan’s Hospital land at Killagoley south of the town.
The matter came before last Monday’s July meeting of Wexford County Council in the Hilton Edwards Suite in the Riverside Park Hotel, Enniscorthy, held under Covid-19 guidelines. Cathaoirleach Cllr Ger Carthy was in the chair and the CEO Tom Enright, in his absence, was represented by Tony Larkin, Director of Services.
The land in question was acquired from the Health Service Executive (HSE) at a cost of €18,000 per acre and the sites are to be sold to Moyne Point Ltd, with an address at I, Brownswood, Enniscorthy.
There are two sites. Site One (measuring 3.477 acres, however 0.445 acres is dedicated to the construction of a retaining wall to stabilise the site) is to be sold for €288,040 and the sale will take place by way of lease for 500 years at a nominal rent of €1 per annum.
The purchaser will use the site to construct a modern business technology unit in accordance with planning permission and the purchaser will also hold the option to purchase Site Two.
Site Two (measuring 2.96 acres), of which 0.797 acres is dedicated to a construction of a retaining wall to stabilise the site, is to be sold for €205,485
