Launch of Public Consultation for SouthEast EV Strategy

“Region 5” consisting of Tipperary, Carlow, Kilkenny, Wexford and Waterford City and County Councils are seeking public input to inform the development of a regional EV Strategy. The goal of the strategy is to address the challenges and opportunities in deploying EV charging infrastructure in the South-East region. Public consultation opens on May 1st and runs until 4pm on May 30th 2025. This consultation invites residents, stakeholders, and the general public to share their views and input on the future of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure in their areas.

By developing a comprehensive network of strategically located charging stations, the strategy is intended to support the growing number of EVs on our roads, ensuring that all areas are adequately served and help meet our climate action targets. The Regional and Local EV Charging Network Plan published for consultation by ZEVI (Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland) in 2024 sets out minimum charging capacity requirements for local authorities per geographical area. En-route charging along major highways and travel routes are being supported separately by Transport Infrastructure Ireland. As part of this regional consultation, stakeholders are asked to consider two key types of local charging infrastructure when providing their inputs:

 

  • Destination charging which involves installing charging stations at popular destinations such as shopping centres, hotels, and tourist attractions.
  • Neighbourhood charging focuses on providing charging options within residential areas,
    making it easy for EV users to charge their vehicles convenient to their residence.

Your feedback will be instrumental in developing a comprehensive EV charging infrastructure strategy that meets the needs of our communities and facilitates sustainable transport. The questionnaire is accessible at the following web address (www.southeastevstrategy.com) from May 1st until 4pm on May 30th 2025.

Remedial works at Kilbarry Nature Park

Over the course of the coming weeks Waterford City and County Council will be carrying out management and maintenance works at Kilbarry Nature Park, Tramore Road.

The purpose of these works is to ensure that Waterford City and County Council complies with the requirements to manage and maintain Kilbarry Nature Park under its registered EPA licence.

Please note that to facilitate these remedial works and to ensure health & safety, a section of the perimeter walking path will be closed temporarily from today (Wednesday, April 30th). Diversion routes will be set up to facilitate the use of the park by the public where paths remain open, and the public is urged to follow all diversion routes during the course of these works.

Waterford City and County Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Local artists light up Waterford

You may be wondering about the colourful silhouettes surrounding our streets and some of Waterford City’s iconic buildings. 

As part of the City of Lights project supported by the Fáilte Ireland Urban Animation Scheme, this inaugural project, commissioned by Waterford City and County Council and Waterford Cultural Quarter has been months in the making and showcases the work of two local Waterford artists, Dan O’Neill Audio and Visual artist, and Vadim Taranenko, showcasing and piloting the Fáilte Ireland funded ‘City of Lights’.

Dan O’Neill of Mene Audio Visual is a Waterford-based artist with qualifications in sound engineering, music production, audio-visual media and visual communications.  He explores the intersection of light, sound and design, drawing on experience in both traditional and digital media, he brings a multidisciplinary approach to creative projects.

Dan explained how this was a “fantastic learning experience” in which he initially explored full colour illustrations and abstract solutions before refining the design into stylised silhouettes of Waterford’s Quayside buildings on a ‘sunset’ backdrop.  The projection process dictated colour and composition choices in unexpected ways and became a rewarding challenge, rather than a traditional arrangement, adding that he aimed to create a stamp-like emblem, a circular skyline composition representing Waterford as an energetic, welcoming and vibrant historic City, creating something that evokes a sense of place.

For his GOBO design, Vadim Taranenko said he “wanted to create something fun and playful that also included Waterford’s rich Viking history.  Working on this project, it was very exciting to know that the public would be able to engage with my work and that I was able to display my work on such a large scale.  As someone who grew up in Waterford, it felt surreal seeing my design shine over Hanover Street.”

Vadim Taranenko, also known as ‘Chango Pongo’ online, is a digital illustrator / animator based in Waterford.  “I would describe my work as ‘Playful Fantasy.’  It’s often cute, whimsical and draws inspiration from video games, visual novels and animation”, Taranenko notes.

Waterford City and County Council and Waterford Cultural Quarter ‘City of Lights’ Pilot Project will continue into a second phase, showcasing this unique Waterford work by local artists, on buildings of cultural heritage significance throughout the coming Autumn and Winter and into 2026, increasing the animation and visibility of the City during the darker months.

Motorcycle Safety Warning as Hospital Data Reveals Concerning Injury Trends

 

As longer evenings and warmer weather signal the start of the peak motorcycling season, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) is urging all road users to take heightened precautions. And with over 90,000 motorcycling enthusiasts expected to attend the NorthWest200 in Northern Ireland next week, roads across the island will see a significant increase in motorcycle activity.

Tragically, this year has seen a rise in motorcyclist deaths. Already in 2025, 10 motorcyclists have lost their lives on Irish roads (1 January – 27 April). That’s an increase from 7 fatalities during the same period in 2024 and 4 fatalities during the same period in 2023.

New RSA research analysed hospital data from 2019 to 2023, which found that 1,556 motorcyclists were hospitalised following road traffic collisions. Of these, almost a third sustained clinically serious injuries, which have a higher probability of long-term consequences for the casualty after the collision.

Vision Zero

Key findings from hospital data available here relating to motorcyclists with clinically serious injuries include:

  • A large number involved young male motorcyclists aged 15–34.
  • Nearly half of clinically serious injuries occurred in single-vehicle collisions.
  • Lower limbs (29%), chest (17%), and head (15%) were the most affected areas.
  • Over one in three motorcyclists sustained multiple clinically serious injuries.
  • Almost 25% of motorcyclists with clinically serious injuries required transfer to another hospital for continued medical care.
  • Motorcyclists with clinically serious injuries spent on average over two weeks in hospital.

“We are urging motorcyclists to take every possible precaution, including to ride within speed limits and at a speed appropriate for the road and conditions, as well as anticipating the actions of others,” said Sarah O’Connor, Director of Partnerships & External Affairs at the Road Safety Authority.

“We encourage both motorists and motorcyclists to take time to look carefully, assess the road ahead, and anticipate potential hazards and other road users — that extra time, that extra look could be the difference between life or death.”

“Drivers need to be aware of motorcyclists, especially at junctions and in areas of high traffic flow. This is of particular importance over the summer months and weekends, when the risk of motorcycle fatalities and injury is heightened.”

Dublin dad Alan Rice was among the 22 motorcyclists killed on Irish roads in 2021. His daughter Laura describes the loss of her beloved dad in support of the RSA’s road safety awareness for motorcyclists.

“My Dad Alan had met his friend in Bray and they drove up the coastline to Skerries that day. They were riding home when he was in a collision with a man carelessly driving. Dad did nothing wrong and he was driving quite slowly waiting for his friend to catch him up after coming through a roundabout. He had all the right safety gear on, but it wasn’t enough to protect him when the man drove his car into him. Alan was thrown from his motorbike and landed on a grassy verge. His friend did all he could to try to keep him alive, but he died there on the side of the road with the sun sprinkling under the trees. No goodbyes, no hugs, just the deafening silence of him coming home to us in a box.”

Myles O’Brien from Mayo is a living testimony of the dangers and long-term consequences of collisions for motorcyclists. His life changed forever in a single vehicle crash on a bend two years ago.

“My crash was as a result of inexperience and a bit of speed. I came around the first part of an s-corner, changed down gears too much and the back wheel went into a slide. In my panic, I pulled the front brake and the accelerator at the same time. I was thrown off and my back hit a rock paralysing me from my breastbone down. My message to fellow motorcyclists would be to slow down, drive within your experience, stay focused and read the road.” 

For an in-depth review of the RSA’s research relating to serious injuries sustained by motorcyclists visit:

Safety Guidance for All Road Users:

For Motorcyclists:

  • Wear full protective gear including a helmet, jacket, trousers, gloves, boots, and high-vis clothing.
  • Ride within the speed limit and according to road and weather conditions.
  • Avoid taking risks—particularly at bends, junctions, and rural roads.
  • Be vigilant. Look into the far, middle and near distance, using your mirrors and checking over your shoulders (life-saver) before changing position or turning.
  • Keep your distance. In poor weather conditions, always leave a bigger gap between you and the vehicle ahead.
  • Be seen. Make sure your position is correct, use dipped headlights and wear high visibility clothing.
  • Avoid surprising other road users. Never do anything on the road that could cause others to slow down, brake, swerve or that could startle pedestrians.
  • Think like other road users. Anticipate how they might react to you and other road users.
  • Read the road and ride to current road, weather and traffic conditions.
  • Match your speed to the conditions and never let others dictate your pace.
  • Never ride your motorcycle after consuming alcohol or drugs.
  • Maintain your motorcycle properly. Regularly check petrol, oil, water, damage, electrics and tyres.

For Drivers:

  • Always look twice for motorcycles, especially before turning, overtaking, at junctions or changing lanes.
  • Be mindful that motorbikes may be hidden in your vehicle’s blind spots.
  • Allow motorcyclists extra space—especially in poor weather or on uneven road surfaces.

Two New Showstopper Exhibitions Launch At WGOA

The Waterford Gallery of Art on O’Connell Street was delighted to launch two new exhibitions this month showcasing some of the very best artistic talent in Ireland and the South East. Launched by Mayor of Waterford City and County, Councillor Jason Murphy, the packed-out gallery celebrated an exquisite retrospective of paintings by Catherine Barron, as well as the group show, ‘Faith in the Process’ which includes highlights from the historic Waterford Art Collection alongside newer artworks, commissions and loans.

Titled, ‘You couldn’t make it up’, Barron’s exhibition in the downstairs galleries includes salvaged metal plates, vintage 78rpm records, book covers, and playing cards – all serving as the artists canvas to reveal a deeply personal, as well as allegorical, biographical journey. Catherine Barron is a Carlow born artist though has lived and works in Dungarvan co. Waterford since 2017. She has won numerous awards for her artwork and is represented by the prestigious Dublin-based, Molesworth Gallery.

Speaking of her work, Barron said, “What I realise is that the ordinary is extraordinary, and all that pains or brings joy can be realised with gratitude, wonder and awe. The power of the imagination does not lie in its ability to invent, but to see more deeply, what is. And what is, is so awesome, you couldn’t make it up!

As Luke Currall, curator of the Waterford Art Gallery, notes in the introductory text to Catherine Barron’s exhibition, it is “through this experiential entry into, and reworking of time, memory and uncertainty, that a tender and life affirming mystery and magic quietly reveals itself in the artworks of Catherine Barron.”

The gallery’s ‘Faith in the Process’ exhibition, launched in its large upstairs space, includes artworks from the Waterford Art Collection, as well as loans and commissions, informed by religious or spiritual experience. Artists exhibiting include: George William Russell (AE), Mainie Jellett, Evie Hone, Father Jack P Hanlon, Annie Shaw, John Foley, Ireland3000, Pat O’Brien, Gerhardt Gallagher, Rayleen Clancy, Ben Henessy, Patrick Collins, Canon T Patrick, Louisa Marchioness of Waterford, Imogen Stuart and more.

On show is work by “the faithful, priests, mystics, lapsed Catholics as well as converts, chanNelers of the transcendental, objectives seekers of enduring tradition, works of commemoration and memorial, and ventures into mythical visualisations”. The gallery was particularly delighted to present significant new works by Rayleen Clancy of An Rinn, Waterford-born photographer, John Foley, Icons by Dungarvan-based Annie Shaw and large graphic prints by Limerick-born, Berlin-based artist, Ireland 3000 (Brian O’Shea).

The opening also saw the chance to launch a new painting by Pat O’Brien created in memory of Waterford native and local musician, Conor Cleare. The gallery is incredibly grateful to Hannah Brennan and the family and friends of Conor for their assistance and permission for this beautiful and poignant work to be shared publicly.

Both exhibitions are free and are open until August 16th.  The exhibitions were made possible through the continued support of Waterford City and County Council, Waterford Arts Office, Arts Council, Dr Abdul Bulbulia and the family of Gerhardt Gallagher.
