Wexford Infirmary

A photograph of the location where the Wexford Infirmary was once located (Hill Street). A commemorative plaque on the wall reads:

On this site stood Wexford Infirmary. It was used as a hospital for the wounded United Irish insurgents throughout the rising in May and June of 1798. Following the capture of Wexford by Crown forces on the 21st of June, 1798, the hospital, containing the wounded, was set on fire by troops under the command of General Gerard Lake. 57 wounded insurgents lost their lives.

Nowadays, the area is used as a car park.

New Ross Floods

Photographs of the New Ross flood, which occurred on the 2nd of February, 2014. I happened to be driving through one of the roads when the River Barrow burst its banks.

The road to Fethard-On-Sea was heavily flooded throughout the day. Here, you can see that water had pooled up close to the entrance of the Nolan Transport offices:



A photograph of the quay on New Ross, which had become impassible. You can see the New Ross Garda Station on the right:



The park in New Ross, which had filled up with water. Fortunately, the right side of the park wasn't completely submerged and I was able to get out onto the part of quay that had escaped the floods.

Abbey Street, Wexford

A photograph of Abbey Street in Wexford Town, pointing in the direction of Whites Hotel and the intersection with George Street. Taken on the 29th of Dec, 2014. As you can see, the temperature was very low and a thick blanket of frost was lining the roofs.
