Bruff confirms place in Kennedy heritage

Bruff emerged in brilliant sunshine yesterday to stake its rightful place in the heritage of the Kennedy clan.

While it might not have competed with Knocknagoshel for a “place among the nations of the earth”, for a few hours the small Co Limerick town nudged Wexford from the JFK limelight.

After all, it was from Bruff, it is claimed, that JFK inherited his political gene. His grandfather, John ‘Honey Fitz’ Fitzgerald was son of Thomas Fitzgerald, who left Bruff in 1852.
