The bitter wind of recession stills stalks Enniscorthy

More closures this week - two ladies boutiques on Main Street, 'Bonita' and 'Silhouette', presumably both victims of the massive fall-off in consumer spending. Meanwhile 'Crystal Script' on Castle has relocated yet again - this time to Slaney Street.

A Menswear Liquidation outlet has opened on the Market Square - for two weeks only - offering up 80% discount on certain designer brands.

On a brighter note, work continues apace on Colman's Pub on the Market Square and, at last, St.Mary's Church Institute on the corner of Castle Street and Church Street is getting a much needed facelift.
