Minister of State at the Department of Justice, James Browne, T.D. was in Wexford town to perform the official opening of the first phase of a new social housing project at Whiterock Hill named Ard na Gaoithe.

The Minister was accompanied by the Cllr. Pip Breen, Cathaoirleach of Wexford County Council, Mr. Eddie Taaffe, Chief Executive of Wexford County Council, Deputy Johnny Mythen TD, local public representatives, senior housing officials from Wexford County Council and representatives of the contractor team, and he met with some of the new residents.

Welcoming Minister Browne to Wexford, Cathaoirleach of Wexford County Council, Cllr. Pip Breen said; “I am delighted to welcome you here today at Ard na Gaoithe. Building communities, rather than just building housing estates, is what we want to achieve for County Wexford. Today’s launch of the first phase of Ard na Gaoithe housing scheme is a fantastic example of Wexford County Council’s housing delivery ambition.

“We want to thank the housing design and delivery team of Wexford County Council, and particularly our project delivery partner Bawn Developments for their excellent work on this unique project. I want to congratulate everyone involved in the delivery of the project to date and I look forward to the completion of this and many more housing schemes across county Wexford,” concluded Cllr Breen.
