Before the December meeting of Wexford County Council even began, Sinn Féin councillor Tom Forde decided to raise an issue that had been bothering himself and his party colleagues.
Sinn Féin councillor Tom Forde has criticised Wexford County Council for using required upgrades to local authority housing as “a reward” for those keeping up with their rent and, consequently, penalising those who have fallen into arrears.
The 19 local authority properties currently listed on Wexford County Council’s new choice based letting system have seen over 12,000 views online and over 1,000 expressions of interest, Wexford Borough District councillors were told.
A group of Wexford councillors have made an official request for a special meeting of the local authority to be called to discuss major concerns over escalating strike action among Wexford’s firefighters.
