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 😁

The trust fund set up in honour of a #Wexford banker, who was shot and killed during a robbery, comes to a close. A bittersweet moment for many in New Ross. Almost €100,000 was distributed over the years to the community. ⁦@PTSBIreland⁩ ⁦ independent.ie/regionals/wexf…

A serious lack of understanding by the State of what it means to live with the rare and painful skin condition, Butterfly Skin/EB. A #Wexford mother, Amanda Nugent, will be speaking in the Dáil shortly. Here’s her story👇🏼@debraireland independent.ie/regionals/wexf…

@Mozzer2015 @byrne_padraig @catherinegalway Considering the former Labour leader was with the FG candidate in Wexford the day before, I think asking the question about his whereabouts is valid. The others weren’t spotted while on the trail, but it’d be wrong to assume they’re not supportive. Certainly worth a follow up!

@byrne_padraig @catherinegalway @JessOConnor__ Also, why focus on retired Howlin, and not current TD/councillors that went missing in action?, they’re usually so up for a photo op, turn up to the opening of an envelope normally 🤷🏼‍♂️ #Wexford We can only presume they are not supporting @catherinegalway , shameful that

@byrne_padraig any sign of Lawlor or Howlin or Walsh out with @catherinegalway in #Wexford ???
