Augustinian church in New Ross in danger of falling into ‘further decay' unless council takes action
Today at 20:00
The Augustinian buildings in New Ross should not be allowed to fall into 'further decay' according to local councillor John Dwyer. Speaking at the June meeting of the New Ross Municipal District (NRMD) Councillor Dwyer said the council needed to use whatever powers it had to preserve the buildings.
'The Augustinian building and the stone pathway has been closed permanently, I understand there may be sensitivities over the land ownership but we have to tackle the dereliction that's there – and not just by putting up hoarding,' he said.
Describing the buildings as a 'spectacular part' of New Ross, Cllr Dwyer said the steps there were currently in a 'disgraceful condition'.
"We need to use our powers under the Derelict Sites Act to ensure that the steps and the entrance are protected, and that the buildings are not allowed to fall into further decay,' he added.

Debunked: The most popular baby name for boys in Galway is.. not Muhammad
THE FACTOID THAT the most popular name for newborn baby boys in Galway is Muhammad has been shared for years. For so long, in fact, that it has ceased to be true. However, this has not dissuaded anti-immigration activists from continuing to spread it as evidence that Islam is 'taking over'. 'Do you know what the number one name in Galway for newborn boys is?' the anti-immigration activist Philip Dwyer asks in a video posted to Facebook on 5 July. 'It's not Sean. It's not Patrick.' he tells a woman he appears to have approached on the street. 'It's Muhammad. Do you think that's a good thing for Ireland?' 'Your commentary is a bit racist,' she replies. 'It's a name.' 'So, you're OK with Islam taking over countries?' Dwyer continues. 'I don't think they're taking over,' she says. 'It's the number one name in County Galway,' Dwyer repeats. 'Doesn't matter' she retorts. 'It matters a lot!' Dwyer says as the woman turns and walks away. The video, which has been viewed more than 99,000 times, was posted with a description that questioned whether the woman's response was 'why Ireland is in so much peril', along with links to donate money to Dwyer. The most popular name for boys in County Galway last year was Rían, not Muhammad. In Galway City, the most popular name was a tie between Jack and Oisín. Most Popular Boys Names by County, 2024 CSO CSO Muhammad was not the most popular name for boys in 2023 either — it was Jack for the County Galway and, again, Oisín for the city. Advertisement Despite Dwyer's claim, Muhammad has never been the most popular name for newborn boys in County Galway. It had, however, been the most popular baby name for boys in Galway City in 2022, the same year it ranked the 86th most popular name in the country. Its tenure at the top was short-lived; the name was never recorded as topping the city's list of newborn names any year before or since then. Muslims have had a presence in Galway City since at least the 1970s (as shown in this old RTÉ footage ), which is home to Ireland's only purpose-built mosque for the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. In 2022, the year when Muhammad was the city's most popular name, there were 3,699 Muslims living in the whole of Galway county, comprising about 2% of the county's population of 177,737. (Figures on the religious makeup of the city alone are not readily available). Given the relatively small numbers of Muslims in Galway, how did a traditionally Muslim name top the chart in the city that then had a population of about 86,000 ? In brief, it doesn't take many newborns with the same name to make it the most popular in a county. Jack, which last year was the most popular name nationally (and joint-most popular name of newborn boys in Galway City), was given only 490 times in the entire country. The CSO doesn't give exact numbers for Galway City, but we can roughly extrapolate from the data. Galway City has about one-sixtieth of Ireland's population, which indicates that a name given to about eight newborns would have a decent chance to top the city's list. The UK Office of National Statistics (ONS) also released some possible explanations for the popularity of the name Muhammad in Britain. While the size of the Muslim community plays a large part, the name's popularity is also bolstered by wider society using more variation in naming their children (Rían is one such example of a name that would not have been popular in decades past), while the name Muhammad remains 'dominant' in the Muslim community The ONS also speculates that Muslim minorities might be more likely to name their boys Muhammad 'to remind them of their heritage as they grow up in a non-Muslim country.' Claims that Muslims are seeking to take over countries are common in anti-immigrant groups. However, as in the case of hoax stickers promoting Shariah law in Ireland, the evidence of these claims do not stand up to scrutiny. This year, The Journal has debunked claims Ireland is establishing a National Hijab Day , that RTÉ is replacing the Angelus with a Muslim call to prayer , and that the largest mosque in the world is being built in Ireland.

Elderly residents in Wexford waiting over a year for ‘collapsed' doors to be replaced
At the June meeting of the New Ross Municipal District (NRMD) Councillor Pat Barden said he had spoken to a number of applicants who might not 'even be around' by the time their works were done. 'What is the wait time now from the point of application until the works are carried out?' he asked housing officer Martina Donohue. 'I don't have a definite time scale but priority tends to be given to those with mobility issues, to try and keep them living in their own home,' replied Ms Donohue. 'So with windows and doors other applications are given priority ahead of them.' 'It used to be 2-3 months but now it's gone to 12-14 months,' continued Cllr Barden. 'It's a long time to wait, people might not even be around after that time.' 'I wouldn't think it takes that long,' said Ms Donohue, 'but I'll have a word with our grants team and see if I can get an estimate of how long windows and doors are taking.' Cllr John Dwyer had also been in touch with residents awaiting repairs to their windows and doors and said some 'flexibility' was required when dealing with these cases. 'I'm aware of one instance in an estate where a front door has collapsed, I'm not being dramatic, these are actual cases,' he said. 'I'm getting an answer back from our housing staff that we have scheduled a replacement but we have no funding for it and don't know how long it will take. There are emergency cases we have to deal with, I would like to see action taken on these, some flexibility applied.' Funded by the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme.
