The slip in Wexford town is being worked on at the moment, so don't rely on it. Depending on the size of the boat, there is a small slip on the Castlebridge road, opposite Eily Hospital.

wouldn't recommend this as you would have to block both sides of the road to reverse into a narrow slipway. Try the boat club in the town as I think they are assisting people with launching due to the other one being out of order.

other than that there is the one at killurin, or rosslare harbour or else kilmore. all these are anytime launch.

if going out from wexford , stay within the bouy markers as the sand banks can be a foot below the water line at low tide even when 2 miles out.

St kiernans on the bannow estuary is good on high water for fishing around bag and bun or fethard. Stay well away from fethard slip unless your bringing a crane with you.

What species you targeting.

if you are goin to use the slip in roslare make sure not to go down on low water ,
we launched there last week , tide was about 2/3 of the way out , there was only about 10inch of water if even,
seemly its after filling in with muck.
the slip in the boatclub in wexford needs half tide as its the same with the muck after filling in and i think there charging 25 euro to use it.
killurin is okay all tides but the slip is very steep.
and the one in ferrybank has to have high water,
ur best goin to kilmore, at least ud have a bit of comfort with the slipway.
