Wexford County Council confirmed today that it has decided to cancel next week’s proposed trips to Savannah and New York.

Councillors and senior officials were due to attend a series of business meetings based around St Patrick’s Day celebrations in both cities but have now opted to call off the trips as a result of growing uncertainty surrounding the Coronavirus situation in Ireland.

Cathaoirleach of Wexford County Council, Councillor Michael Sheehan said: We believe our foremost responsibility is to remain here in Wexford to monitor, lead and assist in the response to what is an unique and unprecedented situation.
