Some people in Arklow, Gorey and Enniscorthy were sceptical about the change
In Arklow shoppers were sceptical the new constituency would be any better than current arrangements.
Liz Pope from Enniscorthy was unsure whether the new arrangements would make a difference. Photograph: Tim O'Brien Resident Ann Marie O’Brien said the reason there had never been a TD from Arklow is because the town “just isn’t behind them”. Ms O’Brien said shops in Arklow had shut and it had become “a commuting town”. She said she was hopeful a new constituency with more local representatives “might help”.
In Enniscorthy Sandra Donohoe said she had heard the area was to be split by the new constituency arrangements and she felt it would be “very bad” for the town. “I’m not a native but it can’t have hurt the place to have three TDs sitting here now,” she said.
