It seems that Wexford is not afraid of tackling the big issues, if this recent headline is anything to go by.

The Gorey Guardian is causing quite the online stir after publishing a huge story about a local nuisance. According to the paper, ‘massive’ leaves have started falling from the trees, and have become a health and safety hazard that requires the undividedmattention of the local councillors.

Counsellor Robbie Ireton is one of the few who are particularly worried about the leaves due to the among of people slipping on them which is apparently ‘unreal’.

It's a quiet life down in Wexford.
