Liquidator hopes buyer can be found for Wexford titles

A provisional liquidator has been appointed by the High Court to the publisher of four weekly newspapers that circulate in Co Wexford.

The court was told the provisional liquidator Kieran Wallace will keep the Wexford Echo, Gorey Echo, New Ross Echo and the Enniscorthy Echo open in the hope that a buyer for the titles can be found.

The four titles, which are owned by Wexford Echo Limited, employ a total of 30 people involved in journalism, advertising and sales, sub editing, page production, finance and management.
