Enniscorthy has an additional structure of modern street furniture at the Market Square entrance to Rafter Street which is attracting public curiosity in the form of a public payphone.
As agreed at the Enniscorthy Municipal District meeting in September 2023, Clear Channel Ireland have removed the payphone on Wafer Street and have installed a new upgraded payphone and a public information Interactive Touch Screen on Rafter Street.
The Clear Channel Public Phone Kiosks Removal/Upgrade Project has already been rolled out in several city and town locations across the country and originated in the ComReg-EU Universal Regulations 2011.
Described as “a design of modern functionality and aesthetically sympathetic” it is a fact that public payphones are still in situ due to public need and serves as an aid to people without access to mobile service.
The interactive touch screen will have links to QR codes and map apps and serves as a Bord Fáilte database including Visit Wexford.ie, Local Area Map and Wayfinding and Emergency Helplines. The public information screen will also promote local tourism and events.
The project was of no cost to Wexford County Council.
