DECISION MADE!

Today word arrived that Wexford County Council - in their wisdom - have granted planning permission for a hard core car park to be built and to remain 5 years. What happens after 5 years. Our wondrous TD Michael D'arcy insists that more parking places are needed in Gorey and this is a brilliant thing for the people of Gorey, any one would think that the developers were doing us a favour. I am sure the E1000 that one of the developers gave to Michael D'arcy TD last year has helped him to pay for any parking fees incurred. Maybe he will be given an honorary parking place in this fantastic new development for Gorey. When are the peoples' representatives going to start actually doing their jobs and listen to us. I would guess that Michael D'arcy TD has met with the developers of this site in the past few months. I am certain that he hasn't met with any of the local community groups who voluntarily work with the youth of Gorey, because I am a member of one of them. He basically has taken the side of 2 developers (whose only reason for doing this is financial) against 6 local clubs and groups consisting of approx. 1000 members, who provide a service for free (as far as the council are concerned) for the youth and people of Gorey.

I can write no more for now as my emotions are getting the better of me and common sense is disappearing. Hopefully soon I will be able to produce a more logical bit of Blog.

If there are any legal people out there who would assist groups with charity status to fight for their lives. Please get in touch, we really do have a good legal basis to fight this development, we just need some help in putting it all together.

An Bord Pleanala here we come!
