Wicklow-online is a means of communicating the latest thinking on present day issues affecting everyday life in Wicklow and beyond.

The website has been set up by Paul Leahy who has been a community activist in Brittas Bay and east Wicklow for many years.

This website is intended to fill a void which he feels exists in the field of local self-governance in the county

This void takes the form of lack of real consultation by officialdom on matters affecting people’s lives, the failure of elected officials to represent the views of people on the ground in the face of developer driven initiatives in local areas and sadly the failure of local people to assert their rights in such situations
