By Dan Walsh at Enniscorthy Municipal District Council meeting
District Manager Claire Lawless resolved the issue of ‘missing’ flags at Enniscorthy’s Municipal District Council meeting held today at the Council Chamber, Presentation Centre.
The matter arose from the recent meeting of Wexford County Council where twelve Irish flags flying from the Seamus Rafter Bridge over the River Slaney had disappeared from their masts and Cllr Jackser Owens demanded to know ‘who removed them?’ and he was disgusted at such treatment of the tricolour! “They should be left there”, he insisted!
The drama unfolded at the Wexford County Council meeting when Cllr Owens put the question of the missing Irish flags to the meeting and the top table were completely lost. They looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders in unison but could offer no explanation.
Director Services Eamonn Hore failed to understand what Cllr Owens was talking about and suggested he contact Enniscorthy District Manager, Claire Lawless, and she may be able to help?
Today, Ms. Lawless brought calm to the chamber when she revealed that the Council had taken down the flags. “Some of the flags were torn from the storms and we take them down every year at this time,” she declared.
