As Wexford prepares for Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in 2025, some local residents voice their concerns regarding disruptions. A county councillor highlighted that residents on Bride Street experienced significant access difficulties during the previous year's event, expressing their intent to lodge an objection. Suggestions were made for improved parking accessibility and extending public transport services to rural areas. Additionally, local taxi drivers reported a loss of earnings due to changes in designated pickup locations. Council officials are committed to addressing these community concerns and improving future events.
"The people in Bride St had great difficulty accessing their own homes during the Fleadh last year... At the moment they are planning on putting an objection in."
"With regards to parking, is there any way we can make it more accessible for those with disabilities?" asked Cllr Robbie Staples.
"A lot of the drivers were not happy with the move from Dunne's Stores to 1798 St, they said they were down significant earnings as a result..."
"They're not anti-Fleadh, they're just anti having it outside their homes. They said they had a week of hell last year."
