Three examples of Enniscorthy business premises and how they present themselves. The first is a Polish (?) foodstore on the Market Square which despite its recent repaint still presents an unwelcoming appearance. Several women that I have spoken to said that not being able to see into the shop from outside is a major no-no and they feel intimidated by it. Despite being male I have the same feeling and thus have never crossed the threshold. So, a lot done but perhaps more to do?
Next up is Patsy O'Connor's Heating & Plumbing premises on Irish Street - recently repainted - which is a model of how 'less is more' and is now one of the most attractive frontages in town.
Back on Main Street "Zanadu" has also recently been repainted in a bold and attractive colour scheme - way to go! It's just a pity that the council don't officially encourage good design/painting as far too many premises merge into each other in an off-white/magnolia blur. I suppose given the indifferent way their own building in the Market Square is presented it's hardly surprising that they are not taking a lead in good design.
