As a result of this process of cross-community consultation, the Board will be in a position to articulate a shared vision for the future of Wexford in terms of its economic, social and cultural development from now to the year 2010.

Councillor Gus Byrne
Chairman of the Wexford County Development Board.

Specifically, the board has a role in devising strategies and recommendations designed to :

• combat poverty
• ensure a more integrated delivery of services
• develop partnerships between the community and public agencies
• promote greater social inclusion
• ensure that all public services delivered locally meet the real needs of all citizens
• monitor the quality of public services delivery systems generally, and, in particular, devise ways to avoid overlaps in the provision of existing services
• put systems in place for measuring the progress and results of this strategic initiative
