Flatley, Tóibín to mark Kennedy visit anniversary

Dancer and musician Michael Flatley, author Colm Tóibín, and tenor Michael Londra have been confirmed as part of Irish celebrations to mark the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s visit.

The Homecoming in Wexford on June 22 is one of the major dates of the JFK year and will feature some of the Model County’s best-known citizens, among others.

MC for the event will be broadcaster and former RTÉ journalist Anne Doyle, a Wexford ambassador, as is Colm Tóibín, who will recite from the stage.
