The first green shoots of recovery?



It is good to be able to report some apparent signs of recovery in Enniscorthy's retail sector with a number of new shops opening in recent months. The former 'Brides with Attitude' shop in Church Street has undergone a massive transformation and is due to open shortly as a Beauty Salon. The striking colour scheme is typical of what is to be found in West Cork towns such as Clonakilty but sadly lacking in Enniscorthy. Hopefully the first of many as it is amazing what some paint and a few window boxes can do to transform a drab streetscape. The colour is even more vivid than my poor photograph shows and is like a burst of sunlight on the street.

Meanwhile a new Kebab shop has appeared on Castle Hill (where there was a shortlived Pizza place) and from first accounts it seems to be doing a brisk trade.
