This is just beyond comprehension to me – that a council of people supposedly representing the county residents is not in communication with them, and endlessly blind sides them with unwanted plans, created behind closed doors? It’s like parents dealing with 3 year olds… The Wicklow County Council seem to hold some kind of secret power bestowed by… whom? As the comment above states though, not paying attention to the details is also fatal. This is not about homeless families at all, as this article clearly shows.
And to call this a rich versus poor issue is insulting. The “harbour” is certainly not a poor residents project. Unless there is a secret plan to issue a luxury
yacht to every homeless family to live on…
So when is the core structure and operational procedures of WCC going to be updated so it stops being so infuriating and endlessly adversarial? The county council model as currently implemented is broken.
This has nothing to do with homeless people. The site is unsuitable for houses for a variety of reasons, flooding included.
Just a bunch of nimbies who don’t want homeless people in their precious ‘heritage village’. Not even ‘people’, plural — just one TEMPORARY dwelling for one homeless family.
Shame on them all!
They, no doubt, would have told the late great JC’s parents to move on down the road a couple of thousand Xmases ago.
Incredible! Absolutely incredible!!
