‘Great idea’ - Call for development of Christmas market in Waterford seaside town
The idea is being proposed for Tramore in County Waterford
A call has been made for the development of a Christmas market in a seaside town in County Waterford.
Sinn Féin councillor Jim Griffin made the suggestion for Tramore in a post on social media last week.
In the Facebook post, Cllr Griffin wrote: “Could an interested group of like-minded people pull off a Christmas market space in Tramore if I said we have the perfect space?
“Anyone reading this with a market stall or a Christmas wonderland thought and not afraid to try and make it happen through a bit of hard work and collaboration, PM me.”
He went on to encourage local residents to comment on the post their ideas for such a space.
“[Any] ideas for a few weekend Christmas markets of good quality local produce and some not so local but at reasonable prices and other novelty ideas in a safe space, please comment.
“I think we could start small in Tramore and build it into a beautiful yearly event bringing much needed winter footfall to Tramore.
“We can make things happen.”
The post received a positive reaction from the local community, with many people welcoming the idea in the comments.
A number of comments described the suggestion as “a great idea”. Several other people indicated their interest in getting involved in the project.
