The cream crackers?

@Dáithí O Raghailaigh: alriiiii saaaaan
Aside from the fact that Clonegal is not even in Wexford it’s also 25km away from Enniscorthy. Some great journalism on display here
@Paul Howlin: in fairness, for some bizarre reason, the official postal address is Clonegal, Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, even though the village itself is in Carlow. And many Clonegal people who don’t want to give the impression they live in a different county give their address as Clonegal, Enniscorthy, Co. Carlow….which looks even more bizarre.
Then on top of all that, you could be living in a townsland two miles away, that’s actually in Co. Wicklow….so despite living in Wicklow, your official address would be (townsland name, Wicklow), Clonegal (in Carlow), Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford.
Now that they have their ethnic status they can do as they please. We should embrace the travelling community and learn from them as they have a lot to offer us like items for sale in puk fair etc boss.
@Jumperoo: It’s not bizarre at all. Post for Clonegal is delivered from Enniscorthy District Sorting Unit (DSU). It happens all over the country where mail for an address actually in one county, gets delivered by a postman working out of a DSU in an adjoining county mainly due to its proximity!
Clonegal is in Carlow
@Joe Murphy: whats 5klm between friends ?
@Joe Murphy: Wonder why they’d take this vermin to baltinglass. What did Wicklow do to deserve this lot.
@Dáithí O Raghailaigh: more like 25km mate
.. is that because the local boyos lost the big boyos stuff in the past week or so ..
have your say
