Obama urged to visit Wexford for JFK celebrations
Organisers have returned from a visit to Washington DC, where they held meetings with representatives from Congress and the Kennedy family, as well as close aides to the president.
They have secured agreement on a format whereby they will take part of the John F Kennedy eternal flame at his grave in Arlington Cemetery and transport it back to Wexford to light at the quay front wall in New Ross where Kennedy’s ancestors emigrated from in the 1850s.
