At Rosslare Harbour, a series of information boards highlighting all that is great about the south-east ferry port and more have been installed throughout the Co. Wexford village.

The seven lecterns, which focus on Rosslare Europort, shipping, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), Tuskar Lighthouse, Kilrane, Rosslare Harbour, and St Helens, provide visitors with carefully researched facts and photographs on the history of each area.

The official unveiling of the information boards saw Chairperson of the Village Development Team Alan Murphy welcome and thank Wexford County Council (WCC) for helping to deliver projects under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme.

Alan Murphy, in particular thanked District Manager for the Rosslare Municipal District (RMD) Nóirín Cummins and local councillor Ger Carthy for their efforts in ensuring this project was delivered.

Over €31,000 was raised to fund the new lecterns and others initiatives which will soon be undertaken by the Rosslare Harbour/ Kilrane Village (RHKV) Development Team.
