‘No political will’ to attract jobs

PRIME development land is lying idle across Co Wexford, despite relentless efforts to attract jobs to the employment blackspot.

No Government-backed jobs have been secured for the region in almost a decade, spurring Wexford County Council to set up a special committee to bring employment and investment into the region.

Independent Councillor Declan McPartlin said a lack of political will was to blame and pressure must now be put on the Government and its agencies to bring jobs to the region.
