We all remember the local papers a few months ago announcing the Michael J Sinnott Drive was the worst (Wexford County Council) Housing Estate in the county. Since the village has gotten a full time Gardai presence with 2 extra Gardai and a full time patrol car, I can confirm that ASB has plummeted. We do need to look at the reasons why ASB happens but this comes after pandering to the scum and drug dealers that is destroying the community around us.<BR/><BR/>Again in Wexford, there has been a marked difference with Gardai on patrol on the streets during the nights on the weekend but still more are needed. It is true that the government never delivered on their promise but tell me what promises did they keep - employ more teachers, reduce class sizes, the list goes on...<BR/><BR/>Thats my 4 centsWexford Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007892055797596624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-464668402831298194.post-33435885392460837662008-11-23T12:32:00.000+00:002008-11-23T12:32:00.000+00:00Good Points, Joe.

I took the Committee Stage in the Seanad last week. It wil resume in a few weeks time and will probably be law early in the new year. Let me know if you have any comments on it.<BR/><BR/>By the way, very impressive blog. Keep up the good work!

There just are not enough Guards and FF PD never delivered on the promised 2,000 extra. <BR/><BR/>That's my two centsCllr Keith Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110415874649053710noreply@blogger.com
