I can see your point, although Waterford suffers from similar problems. Places like Tramore and Kilmacthomas have seen population in recent years. At the same time development of Waterford City has been hamstrung by Kilkenny County Council. While the best solution to development in Waterford is probably to encourage future population growth onto the Kilkenny side of the city, as long as that doesn't happen, Wexford has an oppotunity there that can also boost population numbers along the railway line.
