If it wasn't in Ireland I'd expect 'man bites dog' to be written over this! First the museum is moved from the Wexford quays due to vandalism and after a number of years it's cut-up with hardly a whimper from anybody. Is it any wonder that the South East has next to no tourists?The remaining top tourist attractions in the county are as follows:
1. The National 1798 Centre, Enniscorthy - suitable mainly for school tours.
2. The National Heritage Park, Ferrycarrig - ditto.
3. Johnstown Castle - the grounds only - as the wretched Teagasc civil servants who occupy the castle remain in situ and thus it's off limits to the public.
4. Hook Lighthouse - overrated and over priced in my opinion.
5. JFK Memorial Park - why would you go more than once.
6. Dunbrody Famine Ship, New Ross - view from quayside - 2 minutes.
7. Seal Sanctuary, Courtown - closed before it opened!
8. Enniscorthy Castle, warm but sterile - take in the view from the roof and that's it.
That's about it apart from a few private gardens.
